The film this movie reminded me of the most was Rosemary's Baby
Charlie's head was still beside the road near the telephone pole where the accident had occurred. Peter was in mental shock over what he had done and just parked the car at home with her headless body still in the back seat, leaving it there until morning when the mom got up to use the car and saw it. He spent the whole night laying in his bed and staring at the wall
I really liked it. It gave me the same kind of feeling as I got while watching The Thing (1981). Not many movies give me that feeling
this is my theory:
The floating alien eye is part of the wall. The walls are moving; they are made up of some kind of colonial superorganism that has created a hive underneath the lighthouse, and somehow they together are able to project the shimmer. They are implied by Ventress to have an "unfathomable mind", and the movie suggests that this hivemind may absorb the minds and memories of those consumed in the shimmer. Kane also talks to the camera viewer in his suicide video, asking "are you me? am I you?" because of the scrambled, shared consciousness of all minds lost and living within the shimmer
The eye seems to hypnotize any human that comes into the hole and draw its DNA. Maybe the eye is a defense mechanism by the hive (Kane saw the eye in his video), drawing colonial members from the walls of the hive to create it. The eye then forms the doppelganger using the person's DNA, and then retracts into the wall. The doppelganger only becomes independent from the hivemind after being completely formed. This is why the developing doppelganger knocked Lena out twice (when it had to) instead of just mirroring her 100% absolutely. Not sure why it had to mirror her at all, but the movie says that nobody really understands why the alien does what it does.
The doppelganger was only vulnerable when it was getting its final touches and developing its face, as it was just then gaining its autonomy from the hivemind. This is why it did not mirror Lena and drop the grenade when she ran, and why it seemed to look around perplexed and then burn the whole place down (seemingly by accident), trying to experience the world for the first time w/ burning phosphorus on its hands. Then it retreated into its nest like a wounded animal (to the horror of the hivemind) and burned the entire flammable hive down, which destroyed the crystal trees on the beach and killed the shimmer.
In the end, Lena was so genetically modified by the shimmer that "echoes" of its hivemind were still in her
Because of the barrier. It refracts digital and analog signals which effectively scrambles them. It instantly has a powerful effect on people's minds, making them amnesiac of whatever it is they did after stepping into the barrier. And it prevents anything inside from getting out. That is why mutant alligators and bears were not just walking out of the bubble and terrorizing the countryside. "Nothing comes out"
1. They didn't know it was going to be a bear. They had NO idea what was out there. For all they knew, the other members of Kane's squad could still be alive; turned into mutated insane freaks stalking them from just outside the base.
2. There was only one way in or out of the tower, so if anything that was too strong for them to fight off came up the stairs they would be screwed.
3. They had a closed-off perimeter around the base, but something could quietly break through it or go over/around it and sneak up on their sleeping place. The person on guard needed to be close enough to the fences to hear and see (with nightvision) anything trying to get through.
is that enough? It was not a good place to stay and they knew that, but Ventress said that it was too late in the day to move on.
Why didn’t the eagles just fly Frodo to Mount Doom?
LetThemEatCake, I don't know why I didn't look at your post history before (probably because I'm still kinda new to MC), but one glance at it is all I need to see that you are 100% a troll and you do nothing but go to different movie boards and make troll topics about how bad said movie is and the reasons why you hate it.
Why would replicants be able to breathe underwater? They are based on human biology.
K came back after the knife wounds because the knife wasn't very long and it didn't really hurt K as bad as the bullet to the gut did. That's what caused him to bleed out on the stairs. The handguns in BR are super powerful.
And the final fight was great, it was just very unconventional vs most final fights. Deckard was drowning so they only had a short time to fight. The end of it in particular was a brutal struggle of strangling, stabbing, fighting and drowning. I like how they showed how much stronger a male replicant is than a female; K got kicked in the face multiple times and still punched Luv like 10 feet through the air into the waves. The bass of the music was great as well and felt strangely fitting
I mean, do you disagree? I thought it was fairly obvious if you pay attention to the main pink-socks guy with the glasses. He even kinda had that ultra-Jewish 1980's look, like David Kleinfeld from Carlito's Way.
-The apparent nepotism among pink-sock wearers
-The seemingly-infinite amounts of money to spend and reward Mark with
-How he closes out Mark's interview like he's in charge of the panel, and asks the other bosses if they have "any questions?"
-The discussion about it being "uneconomical" for to Mark waste his time on "drowning dogs" like his family when they need him back at his job to help save the "drowning world" (by working for their VIP client again)
-His direct influence over the police force at the end
I don't believe in all this but I've known a few anti-semites and this is pretty much how they picture the Jews
