“...To the bone,” *Seinfeld theme*

That scene gave me nightmares

Yeah the only part that stood out for me. Awesomely nightmarish.

Yes. That's the intended implication. Ventress says to Lena, of Kane's decision to go into the shimmer knowing he wouldn't come back, "don't confuse suicide with self-destruction." And she's right. We're programmed to self-destruct, our very cells are programmed to stop dividing after a certain limit. What this alien is, at its core, is a cancer to the very planet itself.

I thought the same thing when she said that!

Alse Ventress had cancer and was strangely drawn to the lighthouse. Was she looking for a cure? Or perhaps cancer was left behing on the planet from previous contacts with alien life forms? And Ventress was drawn to it by the nature of her cancer?

@@moonnightwalk I think she went to the lighthouse simply because that's where the crash happened and the shimmer originated. But I like your interpretation; it's elegant.

@@jewelsong nah I'm sorry that shit was scary af

Ye

I get super scared of horror movies, i basically can't even watch them. But this movie became an instant favorite for me

The movie is based on the Southern Reach trilogy. Annihilation is based on the first novel, then there’s Authority & Acceptance.

the books do go there. fun fact, the psychologist was the director of the whole administration. the reason her actress's performance was weird was bc the character herself was putting on an act & wasn't good at it

The movie does need sequels, I agree. But the sequels would have to be closer to the books, and given the changes made between the book and this film, it would make it difficult to create coherent sequels. The books are excellent, though, in and of themselves.

Wow amazing!!

this is a great analysis

You have the right concept.

Great

Wow you seem to have got it who are you? I would love to have some conversation ❤

Actually, Lena is still in the same body and mine and its proven because she didnt bleed when drinking the water.

Squeeker NATION it's not proven, he isn't bleeding anymore either because they external shimmer doesn't exist anymore and is now contained inside of them. Lena thought if she destroyed her clone she could get out, but the clone was inside her because her and the shimmer and alien were all already one and the same at that point. She was the original and the clone, it was mirroring her, by so extension she would mirror it, that's the entire theme of the movie, constant duality, diverging paths turning out to be one and the same. She's definitely not the original human Lena anymore, even though she is, she's also the shimmer clone. It's confusing as fuck.

@@KaiInMotion you're saying they're one in the same so she's basically both?

It's made pretty clear by the movie that she destroyed her clone, whereas the original Kane killed himself.

@@squamish4244 But her eyes shimmering with Kane at the end suggests she didn't come back entirely as she came in, that's the point @Yvonne is making.

It bit her shoulder thoug and was only stopped by eventual gunfire.

@@eccomi21 No. It lightly bit Josie on the shoulder yes but it let go n stood there for a while until Anya went in guns blazing provoking it too attack

I like your interpretation, it's a very cool idea but at the very least the bear's conscienceness isn't only Shepherd. The bear eventually bites one of the scientists on the shoulder and you can hear her start screaming. Her scream gets louder over the course of a few seconds as the camera shot changes which implies that the bear is biting softly and then harder and harder even though we don't see it directly. So unlike Syrus Angi suggesting that the bear wasn't trying to hurt the scientist by biting her, I think the bear and Shepherd were sharing a conscienceness. Even though the Shepherd part wanted to find her friends and maybe comfort them with a soft bite, the bear part takes over and tries to consume them.

That is _so_ much worse than it just being an integrated lure for hunting. I... I have maybe only heard of such a thing maybe twice before, and once it was in Lovecraftian horror.

It's was a grizzly bear, not a sloth bear.

Oh wowwww

Because the movie is talking about human destruction and refracting. What if the being refracted Lena’s human “self destruction” and fell victim to it

This was my impression as well! Especially in the almost tender way that it touched Kane’s face

@@supflame2263 yeah *starts slowly crying*

demon212 I was really confused when he said that because I was not seeing anything about the water other than bringing the wedding ring into focus and the difference that Kane bled into his water before and she does not.

The water is there to show that it is her. Unlike her “husband” who started bleeding because he’s never had water. A non planetary host who found a host who already mutated billions of years on earth. What a perfect combination.

THANK YOU! Who doesn't see that?

Yeah I never thought this had anything to do with water mutating lol. Not sure why so many try to see that, when it's clearly just a bit of symbolism (Water is the genesis of life after all). But above all, it was a trow back to the scene where Kane drank the water and there was blood in it. This was simply her checking if she was like Kane or not. A doppleganger. I don't even think that Kane got sick because he was away from the prism. He got sick the moment he drank the water. He was trying to mimic human behavior, but his body probably didn't know how to ingest water which triggered multiple organ failures. Again, the doppleganger is not a perfect copy. It keeps evolving and adapting and it tries to learn from the original. I think drinking the water triggered his sickness. Hence her reaction when she drank the water. If she was a doppleganger, her body would probably have reacted the same way. Kane's alien doppleganger is part human, while she is a human with parts of the alien mutation within her. In a way, they both complete each other.

Water doesn't have any DNA for mutation.

well he did explain the whole movie

@@iamacat9400 no he just did a fucking re-count of it it’s not an actual explanation is it.

@@iamacat9400 it’s more of a summary

Matt P. No I think the reason why she didn’t have blood coming out from drinking was because the shimmer was already collapsed. Don’t forget that Kane also got better after the shimmer is down. When the shimmer is down, it stops cloning and all the effects. The clone Kane was bleeding and the was probably because the outside world environment is completely different than in the shimmer.

Yes it shows you that the Kane that returned was the mutation. Lena was also the mutation as her body is being refracted so one is still a human mutation and one is the copy. This is the way I saw it does not mean i am right lol

Gotta disagree. I think it just confirms that it was the Shimmer's continual, accelerated refraction that was making Kane ill. I mean if the doppelgangers have a water intolerance, kane would've died (or at least have still been sick) as he was hooked up to fluids.

Her eyes did change at the end

He said that he kane was bleeding because he was there too long than her wife

Kane still thinks about her despite she cheated

I think a snake can eat itself if it tried.

why did the copy hold the flash grenade if it also had all the same thoughts and memories, it would know what was going to happen next. wouldn't it at least sense the danger or know what the device is and its propose???

*purpose

@@manican4620 Not really, snakes eat things whole than digest over time, they dont chew so the snakes own body type prevents it from eating itself. They grab prey in their jaws and use the muscles to work it down their throat while moving the the body forward.

Came in here to say the same thing.

Bill Marion yeah I still don’t understand why the doppelgänger Kane couldn’t exist outside of the Shimmer. And once the shimmer was destroyed he was fine..?

it didn't have the same memories just the same body. Two different things. It was trying to learn from her but mirroring it. It's just like her holusbands doppelganger. He told his double her name and that's how it found her, it didn't know much about her and was confused because it hadn't had any memories of its experiences with her because it only just got born. It only knew what it was told and it was told to find her and her name, which it did. So in the case of the grenade I believe it was trying to learn by handling it. It didn't see it as a two function device because she held it and didn't go up in flames so it didn't even know about what the object did. No shared memories. -1990skelly

What if at the end the lena they were interviewing was infact the alien that was lying at the end cuz when the alien kane asked are you lena? She didn't answer and after they hugged both of their eyes glowed. So they made it past the shimmer and they will start annihilation now.

I've read the books and you're right

Apparently even the book leaves you like *wtf is going on* doesn’t explain shit and is written in journal form. I think this just got away from everyone. The author, the producers, everybody.

That’s all of the “ending explained” video

I know I should read the book for an explanation but I don't want to end the mistery

I have a feeling it's so confusing because it's all not the actual story of what occurred in the shimmer, it's being told my lena technialy but it's either her clone or an altered version of her so the thing could be telling something that's not the truth to ensure the humans don't know what's happening

Like Donnie Darko, it's left better up to interpretation of the viewer and isn't meant to have any one specific meaning.

@@katg7623 She's also an unreliable narrator because she admits to memory loss and lost time.

@@agravemisunderstanding9668 the book is COMPLETELY different from the movie and wouldn't spoil anything about the mystery. I watched the movie, then read the book, then rewatched the movie and only the barebones concepts are the same

Nice theory but I would count on it if we're talking about the source material.

This theory makes the most sense

Pretty sure Lena didn't drop blood in the water like Cane did. Cane being the doppelganger bleeds into the water and nearly dies from it where as Lena easily accepts the water. I do believe the glass of water does have a double meaning, you're right that they are refracted from their old selves, both different than their former selves.

There;s no way, notice how the grenade instantly killed kane? She would as well where the copy obviously lasted longer. The rest I have no clue but being human she would not have lasted that long.

@@DjPolarMusic That is also true, but keep in mind that Kane's clone also got a lot better instantly as soon as The Shimmer was destroyed. That could indicate that with The Shimmer being gone, the two of them can adapt to Earth's surroundings and live normally among the regular humans.

Now that's just boring

@Black Santo Nino Time distortion is just memory loss from the mutation. You could say the body adapted to the point where their memory worked again or that she just doesn't remember their entire time in the bubble. From a movie point of view, we see everything in sequence but there may be big gaps in between that she simply doesn't remember.

@Black Santo Nino I think it was more-so their concept of time being distorted than time itself. Time was still going by as it normally would, but how the team perceived time was altered and manipulated by the shimmer.

Black Santo Nino . Time is relative and like others have said it’s their perception of time that’s distorted

@Black Santo Nino Time is not distorted. People with Alzheimer's just can't remember but thier cells are being changed. And as for the shimmer, think of it as an EMF of a different frequency that Earth's lifeforms are altered and the alien itself is looking for a host. This scene was nicely done by the way.

Simon Dimock, I compared it to Chernobyl. Everything within a radius of the destroyed nuclear power plant was altered by its radio active effect. Similarly here, all the genes in the vicinity of the crash site were affected by the alien genes which they then carried farther and farther causing the area to grow.

Best comment here finally someone with a brain... only thing I can think of is whatever this thing is.. it’s beyond our comprehension, time , matter , space, and etc. and has some type of intelligence.. bc went back to get wife and now there is a man and woman at end.. I guess it teleported there. So that just shows it is not stuck just to that field of whatever, idk. If this is making since. But just seems strategic.. and pretty much it created it’s own Adam and Eve at the end.

It's implied they can teleport. Kane's doppelganger says in the beginning "I was at your door" with no idea how he got there. Then we see Lena's alien teleport from the underground area to the lighthouse.

@Conal Wheeldon [Student] 8 read the entire trilogy, and I'm still not sure what on earth it's about. Lena sure has one heck of a different fate, though.

I wondered that too but decided I'd throw it in the "suspension of disbelief" file and ignore it. I find it best not to question Hollywood creations too deeply. 😉

Remember in the film that entity possess the ability to teleport. So maybe it teleported.

Insightful

thats exactly what the shimmer is. Its existence is to refract everything that is inside of its aura. Can't really define it as an entity, its more like its a wormhole or a blackhole.

That's exactly what the author tried to develop. I'm a geologist, mineralogy specialist, so I have my deal with crystallography and when they started talking about refraction, the implications of the shimmering acting as a reality refractor, the same way an anisotropic material difracts light, were pretty clear. The fact is, it's sort of hard science fiction, because without optical physics knowledge people just talk about mutations, evolution, DNA and other biology-related processes which are clearly not what is happening in the shimmer.

Except Lena essentially purged the cancer - her 'Shadow side', thematically, by not running from it but facing it. So perhaps she is only left with beneficial effects of the Shimmer.

@@squamish4244 You could say she has integrated her shadow.It's the opposite for Kane; he has been devoured by his self-destructive tendencies and is now a husk of his former self.

I wonder If we could send Cain in there cuz life around him withers and dies when he's around

Cancer is the same thing as the shimmer, it literally expands infinitly even if the host is dead the cancer will spread. People don't think about that part, but yeah cancer still spreads unless you burn it like the process of cremation.

Yeah, that what bugged me too. Cell death does lead to aging, but it's necessary, otherwise every cell would be cancerous. So this, along with other themes made this film jumbled and self-contradictory

This is actually a theme in the book, where more people have returned from area X. These people die of multiple cancers, as all their cells start to behave like cancercells. It is explained that the mortality of cells is actually necessary. I don't think the movie explains this so well. It takes a lot of left turns from the books in many aspects, and not always for the best.

Renée Timmermans thanks for the explanation!

That's not how cancer works. Cancer is caused because the genetic limit in the cell that stops them from reproducing too much, has been damaged or altered. Causing the cell to divide uncontrollably. A cell that does not age but continues to divide at a controlled rate just like in normal life will not be the same as cancer. An unaging cell is still just a cell. A genetically damaged cell is a cancer cell. That's the key difference.

I think both are valid. As Josie clearly is turning full on plant. And it was stated that the 'town' they were in was being evacuated; I think both statements are true

i thought they took dna from dead things (humans) and the plants used it to form the structure but josie ended up getting the plants

Fairly great theory they posted. I like this idea a lot

Mmccc .

A.C. Slater so... if I wanted to escape the shimmer and have it destroyed... would I escape and destroy the shimmer?

I agree with you. In physics Annihilation doesn't mean to destroy necessarily. It is the act of making something new out of old materials, the old materials are destroyed in the process but it's more about creation rather than destruction.

DMT trips make this movie look like a public library in comparison. forgetting you ever lived as a human while being out in the endless space of your brain and its creations is by far the most insane thing i think a human can witness besides death. i saw colors that do not exists in our visible spectrum and cant remember what they look like once i come out, the Geometry and symmetry of the visions are also beyond comprehension. you forget the moment you come back, you have it for a moment and it fades by the second since brain not on DMT cant comprehend what you saw. seeing with your mind instead of your eyeballs is the craziest thing ever. no matter how many times you do it you cant prepare yourself to forget. every dmt trip that takes me to eternity/the void i completely forget ever living while im there. im just content with being there for eternity. it feels like i have always been there and will be for ETERNITY and actually grasping how long that is. full comprehension of infinity and being content with it. no human in normal human brain state would be ok with that, i give the stongest of minds 500 years tops before they would want out. but DMT brain you IS there for eternity and is just cool with it. all that comes there with me is my energy, not my name not my body. whatever make me who i am is what goes to the void on a dmt trip. and that part of you can endure eternity and embrace it. you need really pure stuff and have to inject it to get that effect i think. blasting off when i smoked it was insane but i tested injecting it because a chemist made it who showed me his degree and his looked different than any other dmt i ever saw. not opaque dust, it was transparent to an extent with a crystal structure and it was white but under a microscope it was like milky white mini crystals (chem guy had a cool microscope with a screen) and could not be in sunlight and had to be kept in a freezer or it would rapidly decay in purity he said. my boy stuck it in my foot vein because it comes on so fast had i done it myself ide have been gone with that thing still in my foot and probably rolled around. im terrified of needles so it was an experiment. but it was unexplainable/cannot be remembered vividly at all/ and when i came back it was like seeing earth for the first time but as a grown man and not a baby. i WOULD NOT recommend it to anyone unless it was made by a chemist that legit spent years upon years doing nothing but studying chemistry at a university. i could make dmt but it would be yellow powder looking stuff, and it wouldnt take very long, for whatever reason DR, chemist took 5 weeks to make what went in my foot, and it came with a free mini ice cooler stored in some weird glass vial thing surrounded by ice. again would not recommend unless you want to forget you ever lived...meaning that five minutes or however long it was does feel like infinity. also you hear sounds so loud that they would deafen you but since its just your brain and not actual sound it just vibrates you down to your soul. idk imagine a nuclear bomb going off inside your brain. thats what happens when you do what i did. to say i was humbled or scared or happy are all understatements. you feel the most powerful emotion you can possibly tolerate and that emotion is also forgotten after you return. my names mike and that's how DMT feels when you inject it in your foot and it was made by a chemist. the best way i think to help someone understand is to ask them describe how the color green or red look to a blind man. explain a color to a blind man. it cannot be done youll just keeping saying the colors name, or name objects that are that color. but you cant explain what it looks like. that's how DMT works, but you're the blind man and dmt can explain it perfectly.

Anymore monster movie to recommend?

The Ring left me psychologically scarred so i don't watch them any more

I had the same feeling. I want more in-depth analysis as to why it's thought otherwise. It seemed obvious that it was a recreation of her husband drinking water

I think the focus was on the reversed image seen through the water, further reiterating the prism theme. This indicates either she has changed, or she is a copy of the original. Much like the reversed image of her husband's doppleganger through the glass of water, when he was sitting at the table.

Anthony Hayes yes. I think it also had another purpose for the character. It was her way of making sure she was still human. When Kane drank water, there were blood drops in it. So maybe the close up was to show that there is no blood in her water therefore she's ok AND uses the refraction of her hand to indicate that she's changed nonetheless.

As I said in the previous thread above, I believe the water at the end was to remind us of an earlier scene when she gives her (shimmer) husband a glass of water and they zoom in on the glass, showing their hands refracted and undefined, similar to how the shimmer refracts cells.

Its based on a book trilogy btw! Not exactly a show or movie but it does give more to the story and the books are so much more interesting than the movie imo!
