I tend to get angry at people for bashing Shyamalan's movies, because his movies saved my life. To me these aren't just pastime. So when people disrespect them, it's like they disrespect my innermost essence, everything I hold sacred. I've been getting so tired of people. I've been wanting to leave and seclude myself, away from everyone. I hardly ever relate to anyone anymore. And then this movie comes along. I had no idea what it'd be about. At first, as it was coming to an end, though I enjoyed it, I couldn't accept the idea it was selling. I hated the invaders because of their violent methods, and I didn't care about all the regular bystanders we see at the end. The latter ones carried the ugliness of the real world with them. The ugliness I've been trying to escape. When that woman said "I love you so much" I felt nothing. Then it dawned on me that the movie is exactly about this. About loving others unconditionally. "Humanity has been judged" they say before every murder. People keep dying because we judge each other. It's easy to love your child or your partner, but you must learn to love others regardless of who they are. Even if it's a homophobic guy that assaulted you in the past. We go about our lives selecting circles of people we want to hang out with. This movie is saying you should love life itself, in all its forms. You shouldn't put grasshoppers in a jar like their parents did when they kept them at a distance. I thought I didn't relate much to anyone, but in the end I realized that I'm recognizing myself in the protagonist. I've also been unable to let go of the pain inflicted upon me. Though in my case it wasn't some asshole in a bar, it were the people I had consciously chosen to open up to. But I've already been through these cycles. Open up/close up/open up/close up - this has been my adult life. I'm tired. If I open up once more, I'm gonna fall apart. If I believe in someone other than myself, I won't be able to sleep anymore. If I trust someone, I won't be able to trust myself. I killed a centipede while watching this movie. I can't stand centipedes. Their very hideous appearance gets under my skin. They say it's very good to have them in the house, as they hunt pests. But I hate them more than any other insects. They simply disgust me.
