I wanted to kill you, but I didn't expect to become your friend

Science fiction movies have a common routine: aliens invade the earth, a superhero on the earth gathers a group of good friends, and begins a contest between aliens and humans. The two sides are in a confrontational relationship . This kind of movie is very enjoyable in the fight scene of the big scene.

The sci-fi film "Parasitic Beast" discusses the coexistence of intruders and humans . The fighting scenes are not enough to burst eyeballs, but they have put a lot of effort into the exploration of human emotions and human nature. This is an unexpected design.

The movie begins by saying that the earth is overcrowded and garbage is everywhere, so some people imagined that "if the number of humans is halved, the area of ​​burned forests will be reduced by half. The amount will also become one percent.”

So this man created a parasitic beast. Primitive parasitic beasts look like greasy snakes. After burrowing into the human brain, they can maintain their human form, and will also wait for the opportunity to open their bloody mouths and eat other humans.

There was a parasitic beast that got into the right hand of the protagonist Izumi Shinichi, and immediately tightened his right arm with a rope when he noticed it. The parasitic beast failed to invade the brain and became Shinichi's right hand, named "Little Right". So between man and beast, began a wonderful relationship.

After the other parasitic beasts discovered Shinichi as the host of the parasitic beast, but they were still human, they began to kill Shinichi.

If the host Shinichi dies, Xiaoyou, who is a parasitic beast, will not survive. In order to survive, Xiaoyou has no choice but to protect Shinichi.

They fight against other parasitic beasts together, cook together, do homework together, get along day and night, and become cherishing friends. In the end, in order to let Xinyi escape smoothly, Xiaoyou was almost killed by other parasitic beasts.

In addition to killing and being killed, humans and beasts can also get along like Xinyi and Xiaoyou: sharing the same body. Such friendship adds a touch of warmth to this bloody sci-fi film.

How do parasites and humans coexist? Xinyi and Xiaoyou answer with friendship. The story of Tamiya Ryoko focuses on the relationship between parasitic beasts and humans.

She has the highest IQ among all parasitic beasts. When other parasitic beasts only repeat the instruction of "killing human beings" mechanically, Tamiya Ryoko is thinking: Is the meaning of my existence "killing human beings"?

This reflection is similar to the ultimate human proposition: Who am I? where am i from? Where am I going?

She did a lot of experiments to figure out the meaning of her existence:

For example, have a relationship with the host of another parasitic beast, become pregnant, and give birth to a human child. Breastfeed him.

The little child was full and satiated, lying on the bed, looking at his mother Tamiya Ryoko with wide eyes, giggling. Involuntarily, the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc. On the floor-to-ceiling glass, she saw her own smile.

Almost all human hosts have no human emotions after being controlled by parasitic beasts. They were expressionless, exuding indifference from the inside out.

And on her own face, she saw a smiling face belonging to a human being.

At the end of the film, when her child was thrown from the overpass, at a critical moment, she stretched out her long tongue, revealing her identity as a parasitic beast. Shot dead by police.

She told Shinichi that she saw her smile that day, "It feels so good."

Parasitic beasts have learned the emotion of "love". She is not a killing machine, but a mother who would give her life to protect her child.

I think this film explores far more than just the coexistence of parasitic beasts and humans. The ultimate harmonious coexistence of parasitic beasts and people is actually the way people get along with the earth.

Human life depends on the supply of the earth, but what do people give to the earth? Garbage pollution. After all, who is not a parasitic beast of the earth?
