Just watched this very unusual movie with Scarlett Johansson. It's set in Glasgow and she's an alien who is trolling around in her white van looking for men to pick up, seduce and send home to her planet as they are hungry. Very atmospheric and quite complex but very interesting. I have a lot of thoughts on the plot and I'd be interested to hear what other "Earthlings" think of it!

Here's my thoughts then, as I feel the need to talk about this incredibly different and eerie movie. The alien's planet had run out of food and she had come to Earth to find some. The biker who was the alien's minder, killed a woman and the alien took her skin and clothes. She began to troll Glasgow's streets in her white van, looking for some easy pickups. There were many who wanted to get into her van as she was very sexy. When she had seduced them and led them back to a derelict house, they disappeared into black water, which she could walk on. They were then pulverised, leaving empty skins and disappeared down a chute towards a red light. She began to realise that there was more to being a human when she saw her reflection in the mirror. She met a very kind man and when they started to make love they quickly realised that she didn't have any female genitals. She ran off and was nearly raped by a trucker who chased her through the woods. She had encountered kindness and now felt fear for the first time and realised that this was the other side of sex. In the struggle, the trucker saw that some of her skin had ripped off, revealing her real skin. She shed her human skin and showed her alien being. The trucker ran back to his truck and doused her in petrol and set fire to her, meanwhile the biker and four others were scouring the countryside for her. The smoke from her burned alien body rose into the sky. Reply #1. Jul 26 14, 6:42 AM |
