Sure it did. Watch it again.
The intellect is cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things
It didn't "say" it but it implied it. She looks at herself in the mirror, sees that the bee is trying to get outside, this was a sign that she should follow these new "humanistic" instincts and let him free. Of course, she knew that if she did that her superiors would be out looking for her which is why she decided to book it
shareLove these people. They ask a question, somebody answers them, & back they come again.
shareI think by absorbing him she started to become deformed so she aborted him.
shareThat's what I was thinking.
He was rejected.
Remember though we see their insides come out of their skin, and then flow down that canal all blended up. If she was absorbing the men, it would be in nutrient form, not characteristics.
shareBecause he was an outcast, an "anomaly" like her. So she spared his life.
shareIf I am not mistaken, I don't think she "ate" anyone in the film. She was following orders from her superiors to collect humans and turned them into some fluid to be used later. That scene was one of the first in which she showed some empathy for the humans that were being trapped - just like the fly as another poster had pointed out.
I am not sure about the significance of the guy's disfigurement in the film. One interpretation was that she spared his life because he was an outcast like her. But another interpretation was that while the guy's deformity made him an outcast in the human world and women shunned him, that was not the case from the Scarlett alien's point of view, and so at the beginning she still chose to entice him.
In any case, the disfigured guy did not survive. Later we saw the motor cycle guy taking him and putting him into a car's trunk.
Yeah, I thought she was harvesting humans at the behest of her alien superiors to whom we are some sort of delicacy.
"Hot lesbian witches!"
I didn't think that the aliens ate humans. I think the skin was what they needed. I really don't think they ate the skin or our other parts. They were either using the skin for some important thing on their planet or using it to come here and camoflouge because their planet was f\/ked.

I've read the book since I posted that and it is clear that human flesh is indeed a delicacy to the ayyy lmao. Sorry I couldn't resist that, the aliens. They don't use the skin for camouflage and there's nowt wrong with their planet. Having said that, that's in the BOOK, the film stands on its own and everything we need is given to us on screen. You may be right but I don't agree with you, if the aliens need the skins then why aren't we showed them being transported through the weird glowing "letterbox" stargate thingy? Why didn't Laura take the skin from the previous "Manhunter"? I think probably because their skin isn't real but a highly convincing fleshlike substance. It just seems to me that if the skin was important then we'd be shown it going through that portal but to me it just looks like viscera and organic, bloody goo (oh man that scene still creeps me out when I think of it, when the second victim touches the first guy under that weird viscous netherworld and he just goes "POP!", then his empty skin-bag is just floating lifelessly in the blue gel...{shiver}....). The guts and that are definitely shown to be GOING SOMEWHERE....whether they're ingested directly or refined in some way we don't know, the film doesn't show us...
You know that Scarlett Johansson's character isn't part of the alien ruling elite but a sort of biological construct servant, yeah? Sorry if that comes across as patronising, I don't mean it to (I mean, if you already knew about her being scarcely more than a slave)! We see (and hear!) (part of) her construction right at the beginning of the picture, you know when the eye forms over the buzzing tones and the reciting of the letters/words, like language has been "downloaded" into her. Apologies, again, if any of this seems patronising!
"Hot lesbian witches!"
And why didn't we see the first body go into the black Liguria floor??? I'm still a bit confused about how the alien was looking like the human if they didn't us her skin. The guy pulled her out of the woods.... Why didn't they put the her in that black oil floor? She looked to be still alive, moving her eyes, from looking more up, when her face is first seen, then looking directly at the alien when the camera shows her face for the last time, and the tears fall.... To me, she looks paralyzed and not dead and when the camera pulls back and you see the alien looking at the ant, you can see the human on the floor swallow, if you look closely. Maybe that was something that wasn't suppose to be seen on film, but when you combined the eyes moving and tears falling, and then there was no explanation regarding what was done to the body, it made me think she wasn't dead and they'd dispose of her later.
shareI had the impression after watching the whole movie that she was an alien, just like Scarlett's character, that had developed human emotions.
shareThe problem with speculating why the deformed guy was released is that we are never given to understand why they are being harvested in the first place, or what the alien plan is.
I was further confused at the guy then running through a field and cooperating with the other alien bike rider and getting into the car trunk, and then we never learn what happens to him. This further muddles what the alien agenda is.
If you ever look out of your window, and see a man standing over another man in the trunk of a boot, before slamming the boot down he throws a punch to the guy, in all likelihood, he is not cooperating.
shareI missed the punch.
It seemed to me that the biker encouraged the man to get into the trunk and he cooperated. He never attempted to flee the biker guy, instead seeming to cooperate with him.
