Behavior patterns of higher and lower creatures

A horror movie with a good atmosphere. "The Thing (2011)" is also known as "The Thing (prequel)". It was made as a prequel to the 1982 version of "The Thing". The 1982 version was a classic sci-fi horror film at the time. Limited by technology, it is not a stunt to focus on psychology and atmosphere. Time passed, and in 2011, the new release of "The Thing" inherited the atmosphere effect of the first part, with clearer special effects details, but not enough to describe human nature, and there are still minor problems in logic. Personally, I think 10 points are worth 5-6 points.

Brief comment: The places that should be scared are scared.
It is recommended that two people watch it together.
PS, the dog in the play is a hybrid of wolf and husky.

There are some deeper thinking. As a more advanced creature, sitting at the top of the food chain, what you eat should not want to become something, just like when we eat pigs, have you ever thought about running against a pig’s face? ? As a high-level creature, it should be the reverse, assimilating low-level creatures, just like the wisdom of pigs or dogs, and the wisdom of robots. This concept has been used in "The Ninth District".

Some people will say that when you first arrive on a strange planet, you don't know anything, of course you have to integrate into the environment, that is, to become a creature you encounter, which is only temporary. It's like an alien simulating a human cell. It's just the surface, and what's shrinking inside is the alien's own body (a logical question, about the copying of memory, if the inside of the head is an alien, the human brain has no full copy of the memory, is the memory copied?). I think this kind of disguise is only used by creatures that lack confidence in themselves, such as lizards and chameleons. Advanced creatures will have more advanced technologies or methods. Moreover, this only applies to a planet with only one intelligent creature. If there are two intelligent creatures, one higher and the other lower, what will happen if you become the lower-level intelligent creature you encounter? Will be killed directly. If you don't understand the situation, just become something you encounter, but it may lead to killing. For example, in this drama, if it is an alien who spreads like a virus and becomes a dog, it should be more popular with humans, but it will kill the dog. Dogs can also follow humans without causing suspicion.

    It is said that the 1982 version is 10,000 times better, but I think this prequel is already pretty good. Although the logic is a bit unreasonable, the story is basically guessed, but it is really pretty. It's especially effective in theaters.

    Although both the film and the 1982 original are called The Thing, this is a prequel rather than a remake. The original movie itself has few bright spots in the story, and you can't expect any qualitative leap from this "prequel", which uses a script that is almost indistinguishable from the original. This film is in the same vein as the original in the design and portrayal of aliens, and for me, this is also one of the biggest highlights of the film. Samsung.
