At 4:12 I think the reason the alien didn't run after her is because once it turned into her it understood all the pain she felt.
The sentient planetoid in the 1972 SOLARIS may have started to empathize with the orbiting crew above and wanted to assuage their personal torments. It could engineer simulacrums but not raise the dead thus its compassionate intentions created more grief and suffering.
And then it set everything on fire because it understood the devastating effects on the planet.
I think he assimilates her will to auto destroy. Remember she’s depressed
That’s a really good theory. I thought it was just what the screenwriters wrote in the script.
But do you know the one that escaped was the alien and the one that looked like an alien was the real one.
I like that the thing isn't even trying to kill/hurt her at all. It is immitating her as if he wants to stablish communication.
It resembles the Soviet cartoon "contact"
@@rojerha3595 คตะเ
She's basically teaching it.
I would have started making out with it. Maybe showed it a picture of Henry Cavill and asked it to morph into that.
@@Yellow-Rose you'd just start finger banging it on the spot.
The most convincing alien I've ever seen in a movie. Usually these are just "people in costumes" or wild animals, but here they tried to show a mind that is ALIEN to us.
It looks like a man in a costume.

One thing to note. If you saw this in theaters or with external speakers for your tv, the trumpets literally shook you to your core, when it happened i literally felt so much unease, my hair stood up all over my body, and i could hardly breath. Ill never forget this movie
What trumpets?
0:36 the music
Those aren’t trumpets that’s a reese bass
@@corvus8638 nerd
Bro I literally agree with you 😂😂, in the literal sense I mean
it wasn’t trying to “establish a connection” by pressing itself up against her on the door. nor was it trying to kill her. it was mimicking her, only it’s a little delayed so it can’t mimic her perfectly and be totally synchronized. lena opening the door meant the clone was going to slam it shut by default since it fell a little behind and lena didn’t get the door open fast enough. if lena DID fully open the door, the clone simply would have followed her out. lena was suffocating and crushing HERSELF by resisting, hence why when she passes out the clone does too and releases her. if she’d just relaxed the clone would have relaxed too but she was panicking (i don’t blame her). the clone never had malicious intentions, it didn’t WANT to hurt her. it hits her because SHE tried to hit IT, so really lena hit herself. at the end the clone gains enough independence to understand lena’s intentions, just like kane’s clone, which is why lena’s clone caresses kane’s body. kane instructed his clone to find lena. lena instructed her clone to stay behind with the grenade, which is why it stops mimicking her and doesn’t run after her WITH the grenade.
Wait, are u talking about the movie "Annihilation" ?
Such is the nature of our relationship with God, where we are the mimics on an imperfect delay.
And such is the common nature between us and God to create imperfect copies.
Each iteration is worse than the last. It is in our nature to get in our own way.
Hence the theme of the movie, "Why do we annihilate ourselves?"
@@seangoolsby3898 wait, are u talkin about Austin Powers? Love that movie

Amazing flick. The scary part is you know it's not human, but it is attempting to emulate a human. Additionally, it's not acting like a friend or ally.

Well it's not an enemy she blew it up even though it did nothing hostile.
@@brandan5708 Doesn't matter, honestly. It was portrayed as a superior being that can manipulate matter at will, and its shape. The being showed no sort of empathy whatsoever.
For a superior being such as that, being ignorant of how a lifeform works is just as bad as knowingly causing a different lifeform pain and suffering.
I think this is by far the best representation of an alien first contact
If I Had to greet & meet one I'd Much rather it be this incarnation than an octopus-type or an amoeboid. or a millipede. or a jellyfish. or a ... . . . . . .
This is a terrible depiction of first contact
But, very scary at the same time, right! Like you'd know how to fight those shown before but not this one.
@@harry2928 Personally, I'd rather meet the octopus/amoeboid-type aliens, they'd make for a far more interesting encounter then the humanoid types like this one. I've always preferred the more inhuman-looking ones anyway, the ones that seem more like forces of nature then they do humans.
@@alsimmons4504 same.

10 out of 10. Truly a masterclass visually. The sound design is some of the best I've ever heard. Truly xenomorphic.
Seriously??
@@shubhamsaini4638 Not sure if your incredulity is based on my xenomorphic comment, or you think the lighthouse scene isn't amazing. But I stand behind my comment. Over 12 years ago I took part in a psychedelic study, and parts of that lighthouse scene are on par with some of the open eye visuals that you experience on heavier doses of Psilocybin and even DMT, which made the scene unforgettable. Also, there is the fact that any visiting alien race would surely want to mimic its host species by completely assimilating physically, which is what that scene is all about. Those two things combined to create something truly otherworldly. And only a brilliant design team could have come up with it. It's original and affecting.
But perhaps you just thought my comment was a little florid and gushing? Either way, you gave me a giggle.
I’m just gonna pretend I understood your comment and move on with my life
@@charlessomerset9754 not only is the cgi horrible but the story is too. Nothing makes sense

One of the best movies, and yes it qualifies as a horror, in recent memory. Brilliant. And it didn't cop out at the end. Just kept going deeper. Loved it. Disturbing

It’s a perfect example of cosmic horror.
I thought with its close proximity to her body, it was about to undergo an osmosis. But, it does seem to be telepathically linked with her- when she fell, it fell, at the same precise time. The detail, and the certainty of despair, and no escape could be readily seen. Of course a 10/10. No fractions there. Who the heck says Hollywood is Solo on creativity?

I bought this after the first viewing. Garland is a genius. This whole film is mesmerising and the last 15 minutes are worth it all. And the music...sublime.
Like the bear, the alien is probably also reflecting her emotions. Meaning that it was somewhat aware of her motivations, that's why it looked sad when she put that grenade on it's hands. Her husband was a professional solder and they are trained to restrain their emotions, or they're supposed to, so it wasn't sure what the humans wanted from it until she came.

With this scene the thing is her reflection. You see her trying to run from it but couldn’t. Symbolizing her past she couldn’t escape until she gave the grenade and faced her past and killed it
@@Khifrom4 Except that she didn't kill it! That wasn't her at the end of the movie. That was the "alien". Why do you think she didn't answer when the clone of the husband asked if she was Lina and they showed their eyes moving and glowing the same way?
It would also make sense why the security there allowed them to even see each other. She didn't tell them that wasn't her husband. If you're a government organization trying to protect the world, why would you leave a perfectly in tact "alien" specimen so lightly guarded and even with the opportunity to interact with a supposed human? Such reasoning is undeniable proof that "Lina" didn't tell the scientists and others in the lab the exact truth about everything that happened in the lighthouse.
Soldiers are NOT trained to restrain their emotions.
Please let’s not set a toxic and bad precedent with this.
Solider and Marines are trained to follow orders first and foremost, and part of that is to maintain their bearing, composure, and discipline.
Mind you, your comment said “trained” and soldiers/Marines are indeed taught to maintain their composure and military bearing during parade ceremonies, marching drills, promotion ceremonies, and change of command ceremonies.
But there is legit no training methods, or training exercises, that says “don’t cry when you feel sad. Don’t get angry when you lose. Don’t be happy when you win”
Dudes who try to claim this are young fools trying to romanticize this.
@@steverogers7601You’re the tyoa guy that’s takes everything someone says literally. Being trained to not panick and focus on your objective could easily fall under “trained to control their emotions” it’s not a literal exercise where they make you saddd, then happy, confused, and want you to like keep a straight face.
The Shimmer and Lena exchanged a part of each other, because Lena wanted to prevent the Shimmer to get out, the Shimmer stayed and burned everything, but also the Shimmer wanted to get out so made Lena leave and lives within her. That's why the Shimmer also touched the burned body of Lena's husband like if it was Lena saying goodbye. At the end of the movie you see that Lena has indeed changed
The alien represents cancer here
You can kill it but you can't keep it from getting alive again and again.
In this movie,alien was the cancer and Earth was the body trying to defend itself and trying to stop before it spreads any further(that dome like thing that was expanding constantly and corrupting everything in it)
Lena is just one of the billions of cells who unfortunately made contact with the cancer and killed it but in the end survived to spread it in the entire body herself without having any idea that its still alive.
Slowly but surely
Sorry for my bad grammar,i hope you understand what i am trying to show
@@sameepsingh4095 interesting theory.
Pretty plausible theory, considering the ending of Ex Machina. Nice.
wow, makes sense
I even was thinking that burning copy IS Lena and what we see is what COPY was seeing thinking that it is Lena. Because we don't know what happened when Lena was out of conscious. But later I was starting to think the same as you.
When it slammed her against the door and pressed itself against her, I think it was trying to establish some kind of psychic link so it can understand her movements, what they mean, and her emotions.
It wasn't attacking her, it is a continuation of the film's primary theme surrounding cancer. It isn't so much a foreign body attacking her as it is replicating her movement and in doing so, it is as though she herself is blocking her own way. At first its attempt to imitate her are merely shallow imitations. She walks in a circular motion to try to outmaneuver it, it does the same. She sprints past it, it quickly "pursues". Both she and the alien form are mimicking one another in such a way that they are both trying to escape through the door simultaneously, and as a result, the more she squirms and resists, the more it does too, providing pressure and resistance towards her.
By the time she passes out and then comes to, it is perfectly synchronized with her, giving off no intent other than her own. The reason she is able to hand it the phosphorus grenade is not because she "tricks" it into mimicking her, but because she realizes that all she need do is imagine her own intent/desire (for death), and have it accept it, and it commit suicide in her stead.
It almost seemed as if it was trying to merge/fuse with her too.
Well that's easy: it was trying to smash her.
@@awakefortwoweeks4770 Yup 💯😏🤣
@@awakefortwoweeks4770 Who wouldn't.
I like how (at least to me) the music is like an alien itself, strange , unease , beautifully unknown. In the door scene she can’t scape because she is pushing and therefore the alien is pushing too. The fact that the alien is copying her and the human use that for destroy the alien is like an analogy of our self destructive nature
I think the producer/director actually said that the synth you hear in the music is supposed to be the alien communicating to her but more in a musical manner for us viewers.
@@icebice that’s even better
The music is indeed very alient as are the visuals and everything in this movie
1:25 when you slide it in with no notice

The music is the most terrifying I’ve ever heard in any movie. It scars your soul. Brilliant movie.

SCARIEST SHIT, I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED!!! BUT, SOON AS I START SAYING THE LORD'S PRAYER... I'M SOMEHOW RELEASED FROM BEING PARALYZED!!! 😩😱
If someone can please explain, why when she gave it the grenade it didn't run after her, but instead looked at her with sadness?
he realized who she really was...It resembles the Soviet cartoon "contact"
The alien learned self destruction from her
maybe i'm wrong, but the entire scene the alien seems to be mimicking her
people are saying it's a telepathic thing but it seems more like an imperfect mimicry, it can't fully anticipate what she is about to do nor imitate it just like her, sharp turns and movements are heavily delayed by the entity clearly trying to understand and copy her, probably to fit in
mimicry can be done for many reasons, but the main reason is always survival, this being became sentient from her contact with it and started copying and learning in order to, most probably, survive
now here's the kicker... up until that moment the being and her weren't "in sync", she wasn't reaching or actively communicating with it back, instead she tried to avoid it as the entity pursued.. so the minute she _is_ actively interacting back, it seems the entity is "listening" much more actively... she gives it something and she runs but it seems more interested in what she's giving him rather than copying the run... the expression i believe it's purely mimicry too as she seemed sad and concerned while she did this, almost like she was thinking of exploding _with_ the entity (maybe a little nudge at self destruction literally and metaphorically, mostly the latter which does happen right after)
TLDR: i honestly think it didn't run with her because the interaction was worth stopping to analyze, especially after the explosion as it seemed confused, it's a being of pure and raw untamed creation meeting for the first time a concept of destruction.. self destruction at that, which are explosions and uncontrolled fire..
@@cal.icopen Beautifully said and explained. Thank you so much! This scene always intrigued me as to why it "stopped" pursuing her or mimicking her. Felt sad for it after it realized what was going on and the look of a toddler it gave her as she ran away and closed the door. Powerful interpretation.
@@fc231 haha thanks, i've wondered about this scene a lot too, had a lot of time to think about it
i'm glad you liked my interpretation and that i helped understand the scene a bit more

Which movie is this
@@mxb333 annihilation
6:14 I was deafened by this soundtrack 😂😂
Brilliant adaption of a confused but interesting book and trilogy. The movie is very clear (compared to the book)- the alien probably does not feel anything like human emotions and is likely not trying to communicate but only copies and mixes everything around it (animals, buildings, light, people). The whole idea of the movie is that it is alien and things important to humans (communication, purpose, structure) are likely not important to it. It may not even be intelligent. It just copies and mixes for its own purpose or because of instinct. The alien Lena is destroyed because Lena is self-destructive (she cheated on her loving and faithful husband) and the doppelganger picked up that emotion and permitted itself to be burned. Along with the earlier bear scene, especially eerie is the crystal trees that are a combination of the inanimate lighthouse and trees. Her "replacement" husband is similar to her doppelganger- the doppelganger absorbs part of individual but mix it with other characteristics. The husband doppelganger picked up the "instinct" to return to his wife- but he is not a complete copy. The alien only makes distorted copies of the original and mixes it with other things. The creepiest scene may be the guy whose stomach is filled with snakes. Perhaps he felt that he was disloyal and a snake?
Cannot forget this masterpiece
that song in the memes is very funny, but here is nightmarish
What a beautiful scene and two beautiful creatures who try each other to communicate 👽👽👽
It's what AI is trying to do now.
the movie is extremely allegorical. Sure, everyone thinks after watching the movie for the first time, that its about aliens. Its not. Still: crazy to see that so many people are still fascinated by the story. As if it touches some subconcious thing in them. A great movie!
Incredible scene. What a masterpiece this movie is
1:03 Yes. 🤨
Love the music and concept of this movie. Had a couple of great scenes. I still consider it a terrific movie but I can't help but feel it could have been so much more.
It could've had the creepy dude that she comes across in the spiral staircase but I think that would've been too much
The ending is still baffling, why did the so called clone went by the original husband and touch him ?
It was the Real Lena caressing her husband before she took down the lighthouse with her, maybe thinking that would kill the Shimmer as stopping Shimmer Lena (her copy) had no real significance as the Shimmer had already made it out as Shimmer Cane (copy of her husband)
The fake Lena got her memories back from real lena and suicides. The fake Lena is also not sentient. It is just like AI. It copies and mimics. It doesn't know what it is.
@@WaronaSun That wasn't the real Lena. That's was clearly the alien.
The soundtrack and sound effects added alot to an already unsettling scene
I remembered watching this for the first time. I wish I would have watched this I'm theaters.... masterpiece
SO THIS IS WHERE THAT MEME SOUND COMES FROM
What r3t@rd made a meme of it?
This brings a symbiotic relationship to a different level than it normally is.
They seem to be linked and/or connected to each other.
Now it seems that the alien is mimicking her movements.
So now the alien is controlling her movements. But also mirroring her movements at the same time The alien getting her to mirror his movements.
I think it just wanted to mimic humans and create life. But it was doing more harm but completely unaware it was bad.
It's what AI is trying to do now.
@@llrnd Skynet just waiting to be made Inna lab or some dudes garage at this point.
This scene gave me fucking chills. The music. The sound. The acting. My god it was wild to experience it in theatres
When it slammed her against the door it was giving a her a close encounter
God this movie in theaters was so fucking creepy. Ive seen hundreds of scary movies but no movie made me feel the way this one did.
I think maybe the alien needed a territory to survive but was ultimately trying to make contact in the end. Maybe we could have learned instead of killing.
Felt like that thing once it was almost done imitating her the alien almost felt pain and fear that the human was feeling and decided to end it...
It's the sound design for me. I can't geek out about this film enough, it's so bloody good.
This movie is absolutely amazing

Man, seriously, this scene with the alien imitating all of Lena's steps is the hardest scene to watch, I was traumatized.
Still can't believe this flopped in theaters, it was so good. Pure cosmic horror.
She was mirrored perfectly, up until she gives the grenade, but then the duplicate just stood there.
By far the creepiest part of this IMO is at from 2:42 to 3:26 (although it technically counts for the whole video). It's not that it doesn't really have a face - it does, in the most basic possible sense, no eyes, nostrils or mouth - but there's an intelligence/consciousness behind it. Studying her, regarding her. Not necessarily intentionally malicious or dangerous but acting mostly by imitation or impulse. I'd liken it to being looked at by a shark: it might not be attacking you, but there's an inherent fear behind not knowing what it's thinking as it's looking at you.
Такая чушь и люди это обсуждают на полном серьёзе. Мир потихоньку сходит с ума
insanely anxiety-inducing. I remember I had trouble breathing when I first saw it in theaters
This really hit me deeply trying to process and heal from a narcissistic relationship.
The “alien” or for me, narcissist, was trying to mirror me. To close the doors when I needed to escape. To figure out every drop of empathy I had and take it over. To clone me because it itself was intrinsically miserable.
While I was at home painting the room we had together, bawling into my hands, he was gone.
And I felt it was my fault. My fault for letting someone else in that actually cared about me. My fault for distancing myself.
She made it out alive; and I will too.
Oh god why are you trauma dumping on us. We're trying to enjoy a movie scene lol
hey, I believed I was a narcissit suvivor too 3 years ago, Ive experienced the emotional distraught, the mirroring so i cant excape, everything textbook abt what theyve done to other people, I lived in it
But then I dated other people and just broke up 4 month ago, somehow I feel like I am the narc in this

this title and this thumbnail is kinda sus
The sound design is crazy...movie is underrated though.
This is like some Tomb Raider doppelganger type shenanigans, and I'm here for it.
You probably understand it more than any of these other commenters. Care to share your thoughts on it? I'm curious to see what your opinion is on the meaning behind it all.
@@TrinityTalks Okay here goes, the doppelganger is mimicking her because in a way it is her. All her internal thoughts, and feelings which is why it didn't run after her with the grenade. The doppelganger gained some conscious free will in that moment when she handed the grenade to it realizing that she wanted to kill herself which obviously she didn't if she ran afterwards otherwise she would have stayed there and got killed with her doppelganger. It had no free will of its own yet could think and feel. When you put it the way I say it the doppelganger sounds more like misunderstood victim than an threat, but to sum up my personal opinion: This doppelganger mimicking her every action is a representation that we can be our own worst enemy, and that can lead to our destruction.
I will not sleep tonight 😳😬.
also, how would I react? by screaming my lungs out, for sure
I wondered how it would respond to meditation? Since it only escalated when she did so perhaps would not be able to be violent if she was not.
Why are some people asking for the name of the movie when it's right up there in this video's title. 😒
Stupidity. Pure Stupidity. Feel proud of yourself that you have common sense, because A LOT of people on this planet don't have it. In a way, they are like the Alien...trying their best to learn and understand and mimic what we sane humans do, but it's all just a show.
I love this movie...and this is my favorite part
Before the alien pressed against her head she was not bleeding. When it had her pinned tightly, she gasped as though something entered her spirit
0:37 That fucking sound🤣🤣🤣
I wanna give my theory about this scene, or atleast towards the end of it. It feels almost as she is Prometheus( Greek god that created man) and the alien represents humans. When the alien was given the grenade it feels as if she was giving it as a gift. Prometheus gave fire to humans. Also it’s said that Prometheus made humans in gods image. We can see her as technically a god in this scene. She then leave the alien with the gift: fire. The alien is first curious with the fire but eventually cause harm to its and self. This may represent the ups and down of having fire. We can create with it but we can also destroy.
or its just a mimic which was at first mimicking her movements and she figure it out, so once they touched and it copies her dna and mind and thoughts she trick it by thinking about suicide herself which the mimic also thinks then without thinking she runs off on instinct which the alien cannot copy/mimic while she still thinks about suicide which the mimic copies and actually lets the grenade explode. but once the mimic copy her it feel her fear and sadness and now feel sadness for what it did so destroy everything it made (trees burning, lighthouse burning) but it also gives part of itself to lena to live on. So in a way it never really died, just transformed, it kept doing what it originally landed on earth to do but just learned from lena and kept going on while destroying it's first version. Evolution.
I’ll never get over how good the score is in this scene
I think the scene would have been better if some tentacles were involved.
bruh
0:36
Bro really said “Vbrbvbrvva”

Crazy ass movie
0:35-1:57 was just 'frightfully chilling' when I saw this 'underrated' sci-fi movie a few times.

Is this where that audio came
Yes
This movie is so beautiful! Loved it from the first watch!❤
Lena never made it out
The Shimmer didn't teleport, we were only seeing things from it's point of view chasing after Real Lena, Real Lena was trying to prevent Shimmer Lena from making it out which is what lead to the fight
Lena was trying to escape and suddenly saw a being in front of her, that being was the Real Lena as seen by the Shimmer Lena
Remember, when Lena first made it inside the lighthouse she saw the burnt body and went through the recording which she learned was left by her husband Cane before he committed suicide with a grenade and shortly after that another Cane (Shimmer Cane) comes into shot, I believe that Cane like his wife also survived, made it to the lighthouse, interacted with the Shimmer and it took his form too but Cane unlike his wife didn't put up a fight, I think that his wife's infidelity broke him and he wasn't really planning on going back home, he wanted to die there as he had nothing left to live for
Real Lena ultimately gave in as Cane was the only reason why she came and realising that he was dead and that the Cane that came back wasn't the real Cane but Shimmer Cane perhaps she realized how futile her attempts were in trying to stop Shimmer Lena from making it out as the Shimmer or maybe a part of it was already out there
She must have also felt responsible for his death and also felt she had nothing left to live for so she resigned herself to the same fate as her husband
And I also think that Lena also purposely set the lighthouse on fire too to bring it down with her perhaps thinking that would kill the Shimmer
So basically, the alien like creature was preventing Lena to escape. But as you mentioned that this scene is shown in the point of view of the alien, in reality it was actually Lena who was preventing the Alien to escape.
It actually makes sense now, because in the ending of the movie, both Cane and Lena share a moment and hug, and we see that Lena is not herself, but the very Alien we see in this scene.
I always used to think that Lena got possessed due to the Alien like environment and was slowly transforming into an Alien creature, quite reminiscent to the other character that evolved into a humanoid plant (I don't remember her name). But I like your theory better.
If no one tried to kill anyone, everyone would've survived

@@queterian1526 there was a lot of mutations n manipulations caused by the shimmer existence
@@emmaculatesang9910 still don't think Lena should've attacked her alien alter-ego
It’d be so hard not to be completely terrified in that situation.
There is also the importance of the affair and Lena's relationship with her husband. It is reflected and made manifest in ways throughout the movie. One being in the doppelganger. Not giving a direct answer or anything because like tessa said, this film is definitely more of a question than an answer. And gina bringing out the beauty of art in that it brings you the audience inside yourself. It helps one "reflect" just how the movie is all about reflections and refractions too. Get it? There is a heavy psychological element in this film for sure. Where most comments i see people speaking about alien this and alien that lol no offense yall. Just think this film is absolutely brilliant because of it's multilayered themes, messages, and metaphors

Yes, everyone gets it, you are not the only smart one, captain obvious, so less pathos please. movie does not just have psychological element, it IS psychological in itself. Most comments actually speak about psychological/philosphical themes as well - so get off your high horse, you are not the only one into metaphors and deep themes. literally everyone here GETS IT.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 always gotta be some dikeater in the comments 🤣🤣 projection at its finest folks. You just assuming I'm being on my high horse and egotistical for no reason. Don't you have better things to do with your time than project your own insecurities? Guess not...
A parasite: to know her to be her. Its learning. It was trying to own her.
6/10

the thumbnail is sus
if it is a puzzle. this mimicing then move in reversed. and also fun. mimicing thr mimmicer.
It accepted her as a superior being and tried to look like her and she just tried to kill it and it still accepted her choice as it's fate. That watch with the 12 numbers is there to remind anyone who sees that they are welcome as long as they want to be like as . Because we onw the hotel. Not any human being.
