Director explains ending (spoilers obviously)

This still makes no sense, “After the alien invaders capture Brynn and probe her mind, they ultimately let her go, seemingly empathizing with her and realizing they are alike. They are both considered outsiders and treated like monsters by those who don't understand them, hence, Brynn is no longer a threat to them because they see her as one of them.”

What?!?! How the hell are we supposed to know that?

And who treated them like monsters? Lifeforms on planets they invaded? No shit.

They’d be pretty stupid aliens to think the races they’re conquering would “understand” and accept them.

So they let Brynn go because she killed her friend. So does that mean they let other murderers go around the world?

Great movie but the ending was just ridiculous.

From what I saw, I took the ending to mean of that she became one of them. Or did I misinterpret that?

[–] jk90us (5858) 9 months ago

No. They left her be alone as explained above and she was now happy because she could interact with the subjugated humans (or clones or whatever they were) where the humans in town shunned her before. She was no longer alone.

It’s a interesting premise, but they didn’t do a good job explaining it.

Also, her being fine with humanity being controlled kind of proves she is a monster.

I knew she was spared, but I thought they spared her because of how she was treated for so many years. Even though they were malevolent, I thought they made an exception for her. Now I know the real reason and it does make more sense.

I don't think she was as much of a monster as just someone who had been shunned - actually emotionally abused - for much of her life over something that was unintentional. She obviously carried a lot of guilt and remorse for what happened and received no forgiveness from anyone. I can totally understand the child's parents but the whole town?? She was a child herself when it happened and it wasn't intentional. She had no family, no friends, and I'm sure it did something to her.

While it was unfortunate the world was taken over by aliens, I couldn't help but feel glad for Brynn who finally was accepted. Pure fantasy.

No she did not "become one of them." Get rid of your blackout, it just shows you have but a superficial understanding of film.

Kiss my ass you rude little shit.

How adult

[–] [deleted] 6 months ago

No, you get the "how adult" - you obviously are a little shit that has never been taught any courtesy and starts off conversing with strangers by insulting them.

So, buzz off and bother someone else you tiny little troll and get some manners.

Get some self-respect. Language tells.

I asked you to quit bothering me. What are you? Ten years old? Just a Jr troll, I guess.

i don't care what the director said. I think she enjoyed being taken over. It was a release from the dread and depression of her childhood trauma and being shunned by the community. Now she just follows the aliens' happy cues and gets to eat, drink, and be merry. And dance.

What I don't get is why her doppleganger tried to kill her, and failed. Did all the others have dopplegangers, too?

[–] jk90us (5858) 8 months ago

Same here. That made no sense.

Most of the comments here are wrong!

The Aliens empathized with her situation; saw how others treated her and alienated her because of one unintentional accident. The Aliens spared her and controlled all those humans in the town and had them blend with her, obey her and respect her. It was the Aliens' gift to her. We can she at the end how happy she was when she was dancing with the boy which she secretly liked - the one who didn't even acknowledge her when she waved her hand in the beginning.

And when did you come to this understanding? Was it after reading the director's comments? Frankly, if a director has to come back around and make such a clarification, I think it shows some short-sightedness in the person's storytelling.
