    it wasn’t trying to “establish a connection” by pressing itself up against her on the door. nor was it trying to kill her. it was mimicking her, only it’s a little delayed so it can’t mimic her perfectly and be totally synchronized. lena opening the door meant the clone was going to slam it shut by default since it fell a little behind and lena didn’t get the door open fast enough. if lena DID fully open the door, the clone simply would have followed her out. lena was suffocating and crushing HERSELF by resisting, hence why when she passes out the clone does too and releases her. if she’d just relaxed the clone would have relaxed too but she was panicking (i don’t blame her). the clone never had malicious intentions, it didn’t WANT to hurt her. it hits her because SHE tried to hit IT, so really lena hit herself. at the end the clone gains enough independence to understand lena’s intentions, just like kane’s clone, which is why lena’s clone caresses kane’s body. kane instructed his clone to find lena. lena instructed her clone to stay behind with the grenade, which is why it stops mimicking her and doesn’t run after her WITH the grenade.

      Such is the nature of our relationship with God, where we are the mimics on an imperfect delay.
      And such is the common nature between us and God to create imperfect copies.
      Each iteration is worse than the last. It is in our nature to get in our own way.

Over 12 years ago I took part in a psychedelic study, and parts of that lighthouse scene are on par with some of the open eye visuals that you experience on heavier doses of Psilocybin and even DMT, which made the scene unforgettable. Also, there is the fact that any visiting alien race would surely want to mimic its host species by completely assimilating physically, which is what that scene is all about. Those two things combined to create something truly otherworldly. And only a brilliant design team could have come up with it. It's original and affecting.

    Like the bear, the alien is probably also reflecting her emotions. Meaning that it was somewhat aware of her motivations, that's why it looked sad when she put that grenade on it's hands. Her husband was a professional solder and they are trained to restrain their emotions, or they're supposed to, so it wasn't sure what the humans wanted from it until she came.

If you're a government organization trying to protect the world, why would you leave a perfectly in tact "alien" specimen so lightly guarded and even with the opportunity to interact with a supposed human?

      Solider and Marines are trained to follow orders first and foremost, and part of that is to maintain their bearing, composure, and discipline.
      Mind you, your comment said “trained” and soldiers/Marines are indeed taught to maintain their composure and military bearing during parade ceremonies, marching drills, promotion ceremonies, and change of command ceremonies.
      But there is legit no training methods, or training exercises, that says “don’t cry when you feel sad. Don’t get angry when you lose. Don’t be happy when you win”

    • @DarkCyberElf
      @DarkCyberElf ปีที่แล้ว +78

      It wasn't attacking her, it is a continuation of the film's primary theme surrounding cancer. It isn't so much a foreign body attacking her as it is replicating her movement and in doing so, it is as though she herself is blocking her own way. At first its attempt to imitate her are merely shallow imitations. She walks in a circular motion to try to outmaneuver it, it does the same. She sprints past it, it quickly "pursues". Both she and the alien form are mimicking one another in such a way that they are both trying to escape through the door simultaneously, and as a result, the more she squirms and resists, the more it does too, providing pressure and resistance towards her.
      By the time she passes out and then comes to, it is perfectly synchronized with her, giving off no intent other than her own. The reason she is able to hand it the phosphorus grenade is not because she "tricks" it into mimicking her, but because she realizes that all she need do is imagine her own intent/desire (for death), and have it accept it, and it commit suicide in her stead.

    I like how (at least to me) the music is like an alien itself, strange , unease , beautifully unknown. In the door scene she can’t scape because she is pushing and therefore the alien is pushing too. The fact that the alien is copying her and the human use that for destroy the alien is like an analogy of our self destructive nature

      @cal.icopen ปีที่แล้ว +85

      maybe i'm wrong, but the entire scene the alien seems to be mimicking her
      people are saying it's a telepathic thing but it seems more like an imperfect mimicry, it can't fully anticipate what she is about to do nor imitate it just like her, sharp turns and movements are heavily delayed by the entity clearly trying to understand and copy her, probably to fit in
      mimicry can be done for many reasons, but the main reason is always survival, this being became sentient from her contact with it and started copying and learning in order to, most probably, survive
      now here's the kicker... up until that moment the being and her weren't "in sync", she wasn't reaching or actively communicating with it back, instead she tried to avoid it as the entity pursued.. so the minute she _is_ actively interacting back, it seems the entity is "listening" much more actively... she gives it something and she runs but it seems more interested in what she's giving him rather than copying the run... the expression i believe it's purely mimicry too as she seemed sad and concerned while she did this, almost like she was thinking of exploding _with_ the entity (maybe a little nudge at self destruction literally and metaphorically, mostly the latter which does happen right after)
      TLDR: i honestly think it didn't run with her because the interaction was worth stopping to analyze, especially after the explosion as it seemed confused, it's a being of pure and raw untamed creation meeting for the first time a concept of destruction.. self destruction at that, which are explosions and uncontrolled fire..

    Brilliant adaption of a confused but interesting book and trilogy. The movie is very clear (compared to the book)- the alien probably does not feel anything like human emotions and is likely not trying to communicate but only copies and mixes everything around it (animals, buildings, light, people). The whole idea of the movie is that it is alien and things important to humans (communication, purpose, structure) are likely not important to it. It may not even be intelligent. It just copies and mixes for its own purpose or because of instinct. The alien Lena is destroyed because Lena is self-destructive (she cheated on her loving and faithful husband) and the doppelganger picked up that emotion and permitted itself to be burned. Along with the earlier bear scene, especially eerie is the crystal trees that are a combination of the inanimate lighthouse and trees. Her "replacement" husband is similar to her doppelganger- the doppelganger absorbs part of individual but mix it with other characteristics. The husband doppelganger picked up the "instinct" to return to his wife- but he is not a complete copy. The alien only makes distorted copies of the original and mixes it with other things. The creepiest scene may be the guy whose stomach is filled with snakes. Perhaps he felt that he was disloyal and a snake?

    This really hit me deeply trying to process and heal from a narcissistic relationship.
    The “alien” or for me, narcissist, was trying to mirror me. To close the doors when I needed to escape. To figure out every drop of empathy I had and take it over. To clone me because it itself was intrinsically miserable.
    While I was at home painting the room we had together, bawling into my hands, he was gone.
    And I felt it was my fault. My fault for letting someone else in that actually cared about me. My fault for distancing myself.

The doppelganger gained some conscious free will in that moment when she handed the grenade to it realizing that she wanted to kill herself which obviously she didn't if she ran afterwards otherwise she would have stayed there and got killed with her doppelganger. It had no free will of its own yet could think and feel. When you put it the way I say it the doppelganger sounds more like misunderstood victim than an threat, but to sum up my personal opinion: This doppelganger mimicking her every action is a representation that we can be our own worst enemy, and that can lead to our destruction.

    I wanna give my theory about this scene, or atleast towards the end of it. It feels almost as she is Prometheus( Greek god that created man) and the alien represents humans. When the alien was given the grenade it feels as if she was giving it as a gift. Prometheus gave fire to humans. Also it’s said that Prometheus made humans in gods image. We can see her as technically a god in this scene. She then leave the alien with the gift: fire. The alien is first curious with the fire but eventually cause harm to its and self. This may represent the ups and down of having fire. We can create with it but we can also destroy.

      or its just a mimic which was at first mimicking her movements and she figure it out, so once they touched and it copies her dna and mind and thoughts she trick it by thinking about suicide herself which the mimic also thinks then without thinking she runs off on instinct which the alien cannot copy/mimic while she still thinks about suicide which the mimic copies and actually lets the grenade explode. but once the mimic copy her it feel her fear and sadness and now feel sadness for what it did so destroy everything it made (trees burning, lighthouse burning) but it also gives part of itself to lena to live on. So in a way it never really died, just transformed, it kept doing what it originally landed on earth to do but just learned from lena and kept going on while destroying it's first version.

    By far the creepiest part of this IMO is at from 2:42 to 3:26 (although it technically counts for the whole video). It's not that it doesn't really have a face - it does, in the most basic possible sense, no eyes, nostrils or mouth - but there's an intelligence/consciousness behind it. Studying her, regarding her. Not necessarily intentionally malicious or dangerous but acting mostly by imitation or impulse. I'd liken it to being looked at by a shark: it might not be attacking you, but there's an inherent fear behind not knowing what it's thinking as it's looking at you.

      Before the alien pressed against her head she was not bleeding. When it had her pinned tightly, she gasped as though something entered her spirit

      I wondered how it would respond to meditation? Since it only escalated when she did so perhaps would not be able to be violent if she was not.

    There is also the importance of the affair and Lena's relationship with her husband. It is reflected and made manifest in ways throughout the movie. One being in the doppelganger. Not giving a direct answer or anything because like tessa said, this film is definitely more of a question than an answer. And gina bringing out the beauty of art in that it brings you the audience inside yourself. It helps one "reflect" just how the movie is all about reflections and refractions too. Get it? There is a heavy psychological element in this film for sure. Where most comments i see people speaking about alien this and alien that lol no offense yall. Just think this film is absolutely brilliant because of it's multilayered themes, messages, and metaphors

      Yes, everyone gets it, you are not the only smart one, captain obvious, so less pathos please. movie does not just have psychological element, it IS psychological in itself. Most comments actually speak about psychological/philosphical themes as well - so get off your high horse, you are not the only one into metaphors and deep themes. literally everyone here GETS IT.

      @@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 always gotta be some dikeater in the comments 🤣🤣 projection at its finest folks. You just assuming I'm being on my high horse and egotistical for no reason. Don't you have better things to do with your time than project your own insecurities? Guess not...

      Pretty sure it’s supposed to be an alien bioweapon planted on earth, but the whole thing is just a metaphor for cancer cells
