Draags: Are they organic? or are they machines?
Twice now I've read a description of the Draags referring to them as "robots". When I watch the film, I see them as living, breathing alien creatures, not machines. What are they really?
shareGood question.
shareWhen injured, they bleed like an organic lifeform. I really think they are aliens, not even cyborgs, and the reviewers calling them robots are mistaken.
shareThey are flesh and blood organic beings. I wonder why anybody would get the impression that they are otherwise?
sharewhat was all that bit about the mating ritual with the headless bodies, providing their life force somehow? I didn't understand that at all.
shareI think it's meant to portray something that's beyond our human understanding, so the fact that you (we) can't understand it makes it an effective portrayal.

Probably the extremely cold, flat and mechanical sounding dialogue. At least that's how they come across in English. They don't come across quite the same to me in French, but it might be simply because I don't speak it.
