The glass of water...

For some of us, the focus on the glass of water implies the drinking water crisis around the world, reminding us how fucked up we are as a moninant species of the earth....Or perhaps it is just a glass of water. Yet, a mindful audience would notice that Lena offered the glass of water to "Kane" without knowing for sure whether he was her husband or not. Same as later, the scientises offered Lena a glass of water before confirming she was still a human. We have seen this kind of scene in other sci-fi movies like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "Man in Black". Should we praise it as some kind of humanitarian careness? Or regard it as a normal good intention among the decent people?

I found the significant of those two shots are related to the hands refracted through a glass of water. This reflects the marriage relationship between Lena and Kane. In the first shot, Lena took her hand away when Kane admitted he only recognized her face. We immediately sensed the distrust and rejection between them. Kane felt sick after drank the water. It was more due to a Kane's suicidal tendency caused by Lena's infidelity, rather than any physical issue. In the later shot, when Lena drank the water, we noticed Lena was still wearing her wedding ring, which suggests that she was willing to follow through Kane's arrangement to save their marriage.

After drank it, Lena took a few seconds staring at the glass, made us wonder whether we will see blood in the water. Which indicates that Lena was aware of the change inside her and she was testing herself.

The water on the side of the glass was one splash that split into 2... kinda like a cell

The fluidity of how this movie enters your mind, and passes.. like going to the toilet.

I must I must.. ahh..
