"Devil Flower in the Sky"-Is it a daughter-in-law? Just make it with just one kiss

Why did the boy suddenly deny his mother? Why does the niece insist that the uncle was dropped? Why did people in the whole town find that their relatives around them became the most familiar strangers overnight? Is it mass hysterical hallucinations? Or conspiracy undermines in a calm day? What do the inexplicable super giant pods give birth to? Facing the entrapment of the entire town, should we flee in the belly or follow the public? Behind all this, is the independence of personality or the supremacy of collective interests? Are you willing to become a victim or a warrior shouting "Freedom"? Stay tuned tonight at 0:00 on CULT’s monthly presentation of "Magic Flower", let us follow the camera into the inner world of the male protagonist who is repeatedly broken in love and wearing underwear...

The film alluded to the panic caused by McCarthyism in the entire society. Persecution imagined from illusion to objectification. The crisis of trust broke out under the power of two ideologies. It reminded people of the Cultural Revolution, Eastern European Purge, Soviet Purge, etc. And other political persecutions. Personal thoughts are subject to unprecedented surveillance and transformation, and totalitarianism is not exclusively Hitler's. As a B-level horror science fiction film, the film takes place in an unknown town. Alien creatures subtly replace humans in a subtle way, and when they wake up, the sun is still dazzling, every day Nothing is different from yesterday. This is the most terrifying thing, just like the "evil banality" mentioned in psychology: these criminals are not three-headed and six-armed and look like bad guys, nor are they born from the beginning. They were possessed by Satan. The really terrifying thing is that they are ordinary people just like everyone. In their hearts, there is nothing abnormal about what they do and what others do. Just like the new humans in the film trying to cleanse all humans, "Without emotions, there won't be so many troubles, right?"

Classic lines:

"We are all the same, all in a little bit, gradually losing our humanity, but this process is slow, not sudden. When we realize that we can only have it by fighting hard, we can realize that it is for us. How precious it is, just like what your presence means to me."

PS: The male protagonist knows that his wife has been dropped after a kiss, so cute (*^__^*)......

    The size of the short sci-fi adaptation, the imagination of giant pods should be relatively new in that era.

    It doesn't look good, it doesn't look good, no matter what historical status you have! In the beginning, the clones had 2 bodies, and later they only had 1 body when they fell asleep and would occupy the consciousness. . . .
