In the cold of winter, staying inside a warm house, whether brewing coffee or opening the refrigerator, sometimes brings to mind the 1982 American sci-fi horror film The Thing.
The movie depicts an American scientific research expedition in the snowy Antarctic, encountering a parasitic alien lifeform that can assimilate and imitate other organisms. Because it can turn into "The Thing," everyone is terrified but unable to trust each other, as anyone could potentially be the creature in disguise. This leads to suspicion and conflict among the team members during their expedition.
It doesn’t take long for people to change, and in fact, we change a little every day. Years later, meeting the same person can still feel like encountering someone different.
“Do you think you’re still the same you?”
“Of course, the one and only.”
“Prove it to me,” she said.
寒冷的冬天待在溫暖的房屋裡,或許是煮咖啡的時候,或許是開冰箱的時候,偶爾讓人想起1982年份的美國科幻恐怖片突變第三型。
電影裡面描述美國科學考察隊在大雪紛飛的南極洲,遇到能同化並模仿其他有機體的寄生外星生命。由於會變成「突變第三型」,大家害怕得要命,卻又無法相互信任。因為每個人都可能是突變第三型變化而來,他們變得猜疑並發生衝突。
時間不用太久,人其實也天天都有一點變化,多年後再見到同一個人,也是這樣的感覺。
「你覺得你還是原來的那個你嗎?」
「是阿,如假包換。」
「證明給我看?」她說。
