INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956)

[Withnail]

Giant seed pods land in the fields outside a small California town...A young doctor begins treating children whose parents say there is something "off" with their child...Soon adults appear to be passive and conformist. The doctor encounters a ripening pod...The pods are ripening into clones of the population while it sleeps. Soon the authorities are herding people and forcing them to take a pod in order to join them in passive bliss. The doctor rebels against the authorities...He wants to remain an individual.

When I read posts containing Covid porn fear, I am reminded of this flick.

FOOTNOTE: The movie was directed by Don Siegel, who mentored Clint Eastwood when the latter expressed a desire to direct.

There's a brief scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest where RPM questions Mildred and the younger Puero Rican looking nurse about the pills they're anesthesizing him with that kind of reminds me of the authoritarian national socialist democrat pieces of shit and what they think of ordinary peasants.

Outstanding movie too. Reminds me of this place.

OFOTCN is such a great movie. I would put it on my top 5 of all time. The other four anything Kubrick directed before the 90's. I know Tarantino has a big fan base, but not my style.

I liked 78 remake of Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland. I saw it at the Waring Theater for a buck, it was a double Feature with Altered States. I haven't seen the Original.
