The drawings

Please, at least put a spoiler tag...

First impression/brainstorm after one viewing - just writing down initial thoughts

It's all show don't tell for this one and you can only speculate as to what "was before". But it seems as if the boys were all kidnapped from the world we see in the final shot. Also it seems that mutation had taken place with some(?) of the women as we see in the film shown to the nurses and that they now are trying to start an alternative civilization.

In this world procreation takes place without sex and love hence the many shots and allusions to the starfish which is one of natures creations that can reproduce without sex. We see it in the boys eyes and other places as if the boys are gradually mutating towards this trait - with the help of medication and surgery.

Thematically it probably plays around with current themes like environmental damage to humanity leading to mutation and males as the weaker sex and the "old trusty" power of love. Love - apparently there's still hope and the boy can not be kept down and remains resistant, curious and as he says "he is not sick". The drugs that they are administered probably is a potent mix of hormonal treatment and memory- and emotion blockers because it all seems rather inhuman and cold.

But they don't work and he still has passion within him. He remembers and longs for the old world and more importantly he longs for human interaction. He is constantly wearing red, drawing a woman with red hair - red is the color of "passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure" i.e. human traits. It also still resides within the nurse who, as it turns out, is a red haired woman albeit without genitals. She feels sorry for him and first tries to mercy kill him but can't go through with it in (seems to allude strongly to the little mermaid by H.C Andersen) and then sets him free instead.

Do you understand what 'spoiler' means? Thanks for ruining the movie.
