In the face of how big a crisis, those freedoms we cherish can be sacrificed?

If a kind of "plague" can unite the infected, eliminate differences, abandon hostility, and form human unity. However, forced infection is the channel of transmission, and the human nature of the infected will change slightly. Is this a beneficial disease?
It may be harmful to the individual, depriving the individual of his personality and right to choose. What about groups and races?

This film makes us think about such issues.

The male protagonist played by the new 007 actor persuaded the female protagonist played by Nicole Kidman: "It would be great if people could live in a perfect and harmonious world like a (Colorado) tree."

It's a pity . Perfect harmony is an illusion.

There is also this kind of "cultural virus" in the real world. It is not made up of genes, but made up of "meme". The price of being infected by it and "becoming better" is the deprivation of freedom of thought and freedom of choice.

The choice to be infected or not to be infected may depend on how big a crisis mankind is facing together. The film is a projection of the real world: the Iraq war, the oil crisis, certain countries do not respect human rights, nuclear proliferation... In this situation, is it worth sacrificing the freedom of all human beings? In other words, in the face of how big a crisis, those freedoms we cherish can be sacrificed?

    I don't understand why I didn't go to the theater to watch this movie in 2007, but the plot is quite fascinating. Nicole is so beautiful, I can't help being attracted to her, and everything else is a cloud. A movie that feels very embarrassing. Although the plot is very catchy, it is too cliché and the details cannot stand scrutiny; it has greater ambitions than a pure horror sci-fi movie, but it does not go very far.

The Invasion quotes

  • Carol: I'm so afraid I'm gonna fall asleep, I'm gonna lose him, I'm gonna lose you. I'm gonna lose everything that matters.

    Ben: No. You can easily go for a week without sleep then we'll find a pharmacy, do whatever it takes to make sure you stay awake. I just want you to know, there is nothing I wouldn't do for you. Nothing.

  • Carol: I thought you fell asleep.

    Oliver: I did fall asleep. I did. Last night, and this morning. Does that mean something bad?

    Carol: That means you're immune, baby. It means you're immune.
