Wikipedia wrote:Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a 1956 horror science fiction film based on the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney (originally serialized in Colliers Magazine in 1954). It stars Kevin McCarthy, Dana Wynter, King Donovan, and Carolyn Jones. The screenplay was adapted from Finney's novel by Daniel Mainwaring, along with an uncredited Richard Collins, and was directed by Don Siegel. The film is the first and most critically acclaimed of the novel's four film adaptations to date.

In 1994, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In June 2008, the American Film Institute revealed its "Ten top Ten" — the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres — after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was acknowledged as the ninth best film in the science fiction genre. The film also placed number 47 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding films.

Imam na kompu, nisam još pogledao.
...I wrapped our love in all this foil,
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil,
But flies will lay their eggs...

Odličan film. :supz:
But, you know, I knew something must be rotten in Denmark. There was no way you could like me that much. Man, I can't tell you how relieved I was when you took off your dress, you... you didn't have a dick.

nisam najluđa za SFom, ali filmovi poput blade runnera, strange days pa vraćanje na ovakvo što dosta bude tu neku malu iskru koja ipak postoji.
super odrađen film - pametni dijalozi, ležernost, ali i zamjetna pompoznost, dinamičnost i zbilja puno toga rečenog i obavljenog u sat i 20 koliko traje.
lijep filmić :)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) - Siegolov klasik koji je nastao prema knjizi. Radnja filma je smještena u mali gradić gdje se ljudi počnu čudno ponašati. Pratimo jednog doktora kojemu pacijenti počinju govoriti da njihovi voljeni nisu njihovi voljeni već netko drugi. On naravno to ne vjeruje, ali ubrzo počinje uviđati i sam neke stvari. Napravljen u jeku atomskog oružja, komunizma i hladnog rata film odlično balansira paranoju i klaustrofobiju. Cijeli film je ustvari alegorija na dosta stvari tog doba, pogotovo komunisti. Bavi se i gubitkom identitea i što ako budu drugačiji, sa manje emocija. Dobro je odglumljen i režiran, definitivno ispred svojeg vremena i oduvijek mi je bio bolji od remakea. I onak kraj kada ode na autocestu pa viče, ikonska scena. Ili kad otkrije da Becky više nije Becky. 8.1/10

UTJECAJ/ZNAČAJ - svakako se radi o utjecajnom filmu gdje ga mnogi filmski časopisi stavljaju jako visoko kad su u pitanju znanstveno fantastični i horor filmovi. Uz to je dobio i više remakeova. Siegelov kultni klasik ostavio je neizbrisiv trag u kulturi u cjelini, uvodeći u popularnu upotrebu pojam 'ljudi mahune' (pod people), naziv za bezumne, bezdušne, nerazmišljajuće zombije ili one koji se, prema rječniku, “ponašaju čudno , mehanički, kao da nije potpuno ljudski”.
