Invasion of the Body Snatchers

I was amazed by how frightful this film really was. I thought the title would prove that the film was rather lame and poorly done, but it was actually quite scary and thought provoking. This film reflect a lot of Benjamin's idea. The whole movie seems to build on the concept of something being extracted form its shell. We clearly see this with the speech that the psychiatrist and Miles's friends give when they have him and Becky kidnapped. Watching this movie made me question whether or not we're really heading nit his direction. The world is becoming so efficient and so mechanical tha tit seems that maybe humans ourselves may become mechanical one day. i think it is rather astounding that a film from the 1950's can still prove as a wakeup call today.
