I recently saw this movie, titled The Invasion, on t.v. even though it came out a year ago. The whole movie is based on Nicole Kidman finding her son in a world full of people infected with an alien virus. What I liked about the movie was not the plot (wasn't too good), but the idea behind it. The alien virus made people emotionless and almost robot like. The aliens justified it by saying that it would be a perfect world filled with no crime, no wars, no injustice what so ever. It made me wonder if such thing was possible, if it would really be a wrong thing. Yes, we would not be ourselves, but the world would be perfect. No injustice, no crimes, no discrimination, what could be better than that. At the end of the movie, one of the characters said the following:
"In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human. "
