As someone who used to work in elder care, sometime you wonder if it’s inhumane to keep people alive in certain conditions, the worst I’ve seen is a room with two women, both paralyzed by hardened muscles laying in bed all day everyday, then I learnt they had been in that same room for 6 years, can’t communicate, severe Alzheimer’s/dementia, all they can do is scream when they’re cleaned or turned over from the either pain or fear who knows, no family or friends ever came. They had feeding tubes to administer medications and food, imagine being in that state for years, at least this man has company and external stimulation and is in his own home but the thought of existing in that state is horrifying to me.

In the back of my “open end’ mind I am hoping the “drip” sound was just after she shut off the tap to give her the water, even just to ask her why, or not be alone. I know how difficult that type of care can be and, well~ found this profound and sadly beautiful in it’s own rights. Sometimes we need that strength, and someone to decide the proper path for us. GREAT ACTING! You could see it in his eyes.

@DonegansGone 2 года назад

The alien seemed to think that she helped her. Anyway, she said she would help her. In an emotionless civilization, the death of a person like Jim is the final solution to a problem. On the other hand, just before the alien broke Jim's neck, his gaze and the way he closed his eyes, did they say he was ready to die? Who is in a more difficult situation, a woman left behind by her daughter and completely alone after her husband's death, or her husband paralyzed but surrounded by care and love? It is complicated and raises many questions about humanity that the alien did not know and understand, even though she tried.

@mishie618 2 года назад

I think when she cried that tear in the end, she did.. remember she said, language is easy? I think she easily could read his thoughts and he begged her to die. And she did what he asked of her. And I think she was at least trying to understand and change, where Kathy was not.

@mrsprite399 2 года назад

No matter how great the love and care is, freedom is always above all. I think he also loved her so much just like she did but was unable to show it. He was stucked into his paralyzed body for forever. It was just as painful to him to see his loved one suffer everyday but can't do anything to support her. The alien girl just wanted to help and he begged her to let him free and she did what she thought is logical. Her intentions were just to help and maybe it was not the correct way for his wife. She couldn't believe that his love died. The most painful thing ever. But in order to keep his love close she ignored his freedom. In between love and freedom, what humans mostly choose?

It also showed a bit of what id taking place now. When the alien said that they share no emotions with their children,just a donor so ta speak. That is what all this transhumanism is trying to push to today 2022. They want parents to be the breeders & creators yet let the state have them to raise as a society they want them,as of now,eventually all children will be grown eventually & the only procreation will be by these sick & twisted elites.

Excellent! Humans profess that life is scared and must be saved at all costs but millions are dying in hideous ways in the world as I write this and we do not suffer for them. It is more accurate to say life must be maintained if we have the connection of love with the dying person which then makes it all about us and not the dying person at all. When Kathy killed the alien she proved that.

@mishie618 2 года назад

She left because she knew Cathy was angry and didn't want her there. She left because nothing had ever moved her to cry a tear before, and I think she started to understand that she overstepped her place, and even though what she did, in her eyes was helping them both, she didn't know human beings enough to understand that we are extremely complex creatures. Just because we are sad doesmt mean we want someone to come in and take it all away. Ro didn't understand that until that teat fell. But, she didn't believe she would let her die either. Who knows if she did. That's the beauty of the ending. 💧💔

OMG, this is an amazing good story with good actors! The end, I have never expect that, that end is for me double: - 1. That pathetic totally paralyzed husband of hers has been put out of his misery by that human-looking alien to give that woman a new finer life (with her hopefully now returning daughter)! - 2. But that woman shoots that alien because she killed her husband and she finds that terrible because she loves her husband and wants to take care of him! But what happend next?! Is that woman going to let that injured alien heal herself again by letting her drink water again?! .... To really have someone to be with again, to be able to talk and share things together.... That is the open question that remains for the viewer and his or her fantasy, and I always think that is extra cool for an end of a movie!

@cafemochavibe 2 года назад

Her husband was far from being pathetic. He was paralyzed, but he was able to communicate with the alien. His eyes spoke volumes when he looked towards Rogl before she snapped his neck. I also argue that he had strength that many of us could not fathom due to being forced to live in that condition. What the wife did by shooting Rogl was understandable, but it opened up a question. The question is, is it really love to force someone to live in that kind of state as opposed to letting that person go when it's time? The husband was still alive with a feeding tube, but the wife didn't seem to acknowledge that perhaps her husband wanted to go.

Wow. Every moment of this film, was absolutely brilliant. Absolutely nothing less than a truly perfect film. I couldn't find one flaw.. the thing that was startling was, the alien species learned how to he more human, but as humans, the lesser developed of the 2, the human woman could not see her husband begging her to let him go, with those eyes.. Ro did. And it's an innate flaw we have as humans... to hold on as long as we can, even when they are suffering... because we don't feel like it's our place to end their suffering... because.. we are human and have empathy.. but in the higher species, empathy would mean letting them go, and ending their suffering. .

Nice. The evil of "suffocating love". Topical with all the euthanasia debate around when life is too cruel and without dignity and death becomes the proper merciful option that so many people are just petrified of admitting.

She was investigating primitive, developing lifeforms. Stupid, emotional woman, the wife, is incapable of processing anything beyond her tiny myopic world, the outcome of which she kills the alien, and is now completely alone (not at all surprising the daughter left as soon as possible). Sadly, the visiting alien proved her point, this really is an undeveloped, primitive lifeform, prone to irrational (and violent) thought processes. The takeaway here, humanoids here are still too backward and primitive to have any real interaction with alien lifeforms. As for the production itself, very well done and thought provoking, among the better examples of the artform DUST has presented.

@shubhankardas6854 2 года назад

i think it was the husband who was silently communicating with the alien and asked her to take his life so that his wife can live her life, and maybe he was the one who told the alien to give a kiss to the wife's forehead on his behalf... and it was confusing for the alien at first and then later when he did it she saw how upset kathie was and it finally got to her when she herself felt the emotions and love of human beings.. or the feeling of sadness.. so she decided to leave.

There are so many layers of complexity to this. Does she save her last connection by giving the alien water? Or is her retaliation justified? The alien essentially gave two people their lives back- one in death and the other in freedom. But the alien ultimately pays the price. All good deeds do not go unpunished.
