Can we like talk about „the invasion of the body snatchers“ (the 1978 version)
I’ll be very vague so no explicit Spoilers
I have so much to say about this movie, as I recently rediscovered my love for it (I‘ll make it short, don‘t worry):
1. The characters, omg the chemistry. Usually those disaster / invasion movies tend to sweep that under the rug and just run with destruction and all that. But here you can truly feel with the characters, the fear they have of losing their loved ones. The resulting performances are great, particularly in that one particular Scene involving Matthew & Elizabeth in the grass (iykyk)
2. The cast. I‘m a sucker for Jeff Goldblum and he crushes his 10minutes of screen time. AND AND AND fucking Leonard Nimoy??? Give me any sci fi / alien movie with Mr. Spock and I‘ll love it. Donald Sutherland as the main Character is amazing, he gives off such an incredible „hard/dismissive“ performance all whilst still being so cute with Brooke Adams and his other friends, showing the audience, that he really does care.
3. The effects are amazing, the scene with Matthew in the Garden of his home is so terrifying and disgusting because of the sound, camera and effect work
4. The ending is omg, I could cry
5. the basic concept is something we have seen before but the execution and little adjustments (the way the aliens take over and alert one another) is just so unique and disgusting
This is not all I have to say but I promised to make it short
