Just watched The Invasion of the body snatchers! The film is really interesting! I feel like having a discussion about it at a film class. It has a lot of subliminal messages about the “current” situation of humanity! The casting is really good like everyone fits perfectly into their role. Sound effects, angels and close ups are done professionally. I just hope the end was different or it was one of those films that had two endings. I like happy endings! At the end It kind of kills all sorts of hope and resistance for me. It is like saying you are doomed!!! so whether you resisted or gave up it doesn’t matter. I think this description fits in with an article I read about hypermodernity which according to my understanding sounded pessimistic and accelerating people towards their inevitable destiny! I still believe in goodness and resistance and hope though :’)

Sounds like the '70s Philip Kaufman adaptation 🙂
Would love to see a hypermodern remake where the pod-people are some kind of AI lifeform. Would they transform humans into something better? Worse? Or would they run off to some other galaxy realizing we aren't worth the trouble? 🌀
