What was the symbolism behind this sequence?

First off, the symbolism is an alien
second off, that isn't "Sequence" her name is Natalie Portman.

seemed like maybe the director was hungry and wanted some fish and chips

Bruh, the alien was highly advanced and had no use for human reproductive organs. It was going straight for the anal probe.

>mfw took my gf to see this and we both don't like spooky movies

Totally worth it though. Seeing this in a nearly empty theater was amazing.

>Is it sentient?
Somewhat, yes
Why does it make copies of some people but not others?
The mutations appear to be affected by the psychological state of the subjects, the pair that got replaced were a couple and the ayylmao might have wanted to take advantage of the indigenous life forms sexual reproduction to keep expanding itself.

so uh
did they accurately model the pusy lips

Wasn't it a Netflix original?

only in some countries

Sometimes. Look up teratomas.

Brainlet detected.
The way the Shimmer works is mixing and refracting DNA and non-organic chemicals, which is exactly how regular old reproduction works. One parent contributes half its chromosomes, the other parent contributes half; and the end result is a child with 50% of each parent. But in the next generation, it's only 25% of each original parent remains. And in the next 12.5%. Then 6.25%, then 3.125%, and so on until it's utterly infinitesimal. This is what the Shimer does to everything, only instead of it being by generations it can happen in still living organisms at a rapid pace. In the end, almost nothing of the original is left; instead something radically new has taken its place.

This is not how cancer operates, at all. Instead cancer cells basically just divide into clones of the original cancer cell over and over again; with no generational cycle of 'refracting'/merging DNA. The mentioning of cancer is actually symbolic of a completely different lifeform, humanity. We're the ones who seek/fear annihilation, not the Shimmer.

To add to this, the ending with Natalie embracing her husband, it doesn't matter is it the copy or real Natalie, both are the same. In Soma, you hop from one vessel to another while your self still inhabits the previous vessel. Same here.

I just spent 10 minutes laughing at that gif.

It's just copying her moves. It's only up against the wall because she is. The harder she tried to struggle to get out the room the harder it pushed her up against the wall her until they both collapsed. I'm not sure it meant anything other than the shimmer realm is just a fucking weird mirror. Good movie though, high intelligence pleb filter.

I’m stealing that line

they both hit a point where they both had the same self-destructive and self-preservation instinct. One of them broke away and escaped while the other stayed. Whether or not the one that stayed was the protagonist, or the alien, is left ambiguous. It kind of doesn't matter at that point.

This movie was bretty gud, slow in the beginning though.

Theatrical release in the US only. Netflix everywhere else. Then it released on fucking AMAZON in the US after all that shit.

Fucking retarded

It's an alien terraforming device imho.
"Terra"is obviously a misnomer here.

The scene in the lighthouse is kino, the rest is garbage.

Bear scene?

>you hop from one vessel to another while your self still inhabits the previous vessel. Same here.
Soma is pretty basic bitch retarded shit and should have ended the first time you copy your consciousness, there is no coin toss for you ending up in the next duplicate, you can't transfer your consciousnesses. The copy at the end of Annihilation also can't be said to be exactly the same as the girl who entered, neither can the Original actually since the shimmer mixes them up immediately, as we can see with the Ouroboros Tattoo swapping to a different person. Saying it doesn't matter which made it out I kinda agree with since neither of them are the original , I feel like either of them/ anyone getting out is a bad thing.

*angry soda bubble noises*
