I think that's a very good point. Like it was released in large chain theaters, so it's possible that a good percentage of the audience are/were libs who NEED that. Like not everyone comes out the womb with extensive knowledge and nuanced understanding of those subjects, I know I didn't, and people are still just starting to learn as frustrating as that can be for the lot of us. And the dinner table scene was so suffocating and the ultimate portrayal of dehumanization to me, I really wonder what it may have evoked in other people, too.
I loved the creepers so much! I didn't think of them that way, but that makes total sense.
But yeah, overall it was a really fun movie .I love compelling and cerebral films as much as the next guy but I ALSO LOVE FUN and people seem to hate it lol
It was literally right in your face: They are aliens, no we are aliens, no we have to exterminate them despite they saved one of us and are clearly not hostile until we started kindapping and murdering them and their children. The allegory for colonialism, with Marshall taking about a "pure white planet" to colonize, what did you thinking he was talking about the snow lol?
Er I meant didnt think of them as Tardigrades, which is what you were talking about..Maybe I wasn't clear about breaking my thoughts between the messaging of the film and then addressing you talking about that
