Bitch! car! Rock 'n' roll!



But above all else, the appeal of this film lies in the characterization of the aliens.


First of all, it seems like the "evil aliens" are just doing more and more evil for the sake of being evil. When they possess mediocre, decent people, they commit multiple robberies. When their body is destroyed, they possess a sick person who happens to be nearby and go on a shoplifting spree at a record store. When they are reprimanded, they beat the person to death. While eating at a restaurant with hard rock blasting on a boombox, they chase after a Ferrari that passes in front of the store, run out of the store, and steal the car. In short, they just do more and more bad things. They steal money, but they don't spend it. It's so upside down that the goal is to "steal money."

He also has a weakness for women, but his tendency to get things wrong is still strong. He drives around the streets in his Ferrari, tries to pick up girls by imitating what he sees, and when that fails, he gets revenge by hijacking a hot slutty stripper at a strip bar. He's not after women for pleasure or to procreate. He just likes women who are "hot sluts."


If you think about these things while keeping in mind the production process, the boldness will come out. I want to have a Ferrari. I want to play hard rock. I want to have a cool bitch appear. In science fiction.


This is just a bunch of idle talk that sounds like something a delinquent hanging out in front of a convenience store would come up with, and the story is pushed through with the premise that it was something that a delinquent would come up with, with "aliens who like that sort of thing."
