''Hatred''?? Who talks like that?

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Blind obedience is
treason.

Whoever told you that being critical of the government = hating the
country is your enemy. I am your friend.

When exactly did you become a pod person?

Oh I'm very critical of Uncle Sam but unlike you I also question a lot of
what people say and what I read. It seems like you jump on every liberal
band wagon that rolls through town. Your talking to the grandson of old John
Hancock buddy!

I think "pod people" are supposed to be like zombies, blindly following a leader
who may not be visible, oblivious to the real world around them.

If you'd like to know more, I suggest hanging out near a theater showing a
Michael Moore movie.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) is a thrilling, disturbing
classic science fiction/alien film from veteran producer Walter
Wanger. [Wanger had just been released from prison in the early 50s
for attempted murder. He had been imprisoned for a short 4-month jail
term for the 1951 shooting incident of the lover (MCA agent Jennings
Lang) of his unfaithful movie-star wife, Joan Bennett. The incident
provided an indirect inspiration for the Billy Wilder movie The
Apartment (1960).]

It was originally based upon a three-part serial story written by Jack
Finney that appeared in Colliers Magazine in late 1954, and then in
1955 was rendered into an expanded novel, The Body Snatchers. The
screenplay, written by Daniel Mainwaring (who also wrote the script
for the classic noir Out of the Past (1947)) was aided, according to
some sources, with uncredited scriptwriting and dialogue direction by
Sam Peckinpah (the great Western director who appears in a bit cameo
part as a meter reader).

A quintessential, black and white B-picture, it was precisely-executed
and packed with action by director Don Siegel, plus a scary musical
score from Carmen Dragon. The subtle, low-budget film (at about
$420,000) is very effective in eliciting horror with slow-building
tension, even though there are no monsters (just indestructible
plant-like pods), minimal special effects, no violence in the
take-over of humans, and no deaths. The film had a few preliminary
titles: Sleep No More, Better Off Dead, and They Came From Another
World before the final choice was made.

The psychological sci-fi film was re-made twice:

Philip Kaufman's adaptation Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) with
Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams (and featuring cameo roles by Kevin
McCarthy as a man running on the freeway and Don Siegel as a
cabdriver) and set in San Francisco and nearby Mill Valley, with the
tagline: "You'll never close your eyes again"
Abel Ferrara's The Body Snatchers (1994) - the book's original title -
with Gabrielle Anwar, Meg Tilly and Forrest Whittaker, and set on a
Southern military base
The original film would become more and more revered and distinctive
as time passed.

The theme of the cautionary, politicized film was open to varying
interpretations, including paranoia toward the spread of a harmful
ideology such as socialistic Communism, or the sweeping mass hysteria
of McCarthyism in the 1950s and blacklisting of Hollywood, the spread
of an unknown malignancy or virulent germ (read fear of annihilation
by 'nuclear war'), or the numbing of our individuality and emotional
psyches through conformity and group-think. Yet its main theme was the
alien (read 'Communist') dehumanization and take-over of an entire
community by large seed pods (found in basements, automobile trunks, a
greenhouse, and on a pool table) that replicated and replaced human
beings. And it told of the heroic struggle of one helpless but
determined man of conscience, a small-town doctor (McCarthy), to
vainly combat and quell the deadly, indestructible threat.

This relentlessly haunting film received no Academy Award nominations.
It was originally released at 80 minutes, and then reissued at 76
minutes in 1979. The prologue and its unconvincing matching epilogue
were not in the original shooting of the film and were later tacked
on. (The studio-imposed footage was removed in the 1979 re-issue.)
Allied Artists wanted to soften the paranoia of the original and
provide a more hopeful ending with the framing device. Executives at
the studio also forced Wanger to release the film in SuperScope - an
anamorphic widescreen process that altered the original 1.33:1 ratio
that the cinematographer had used.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ADDITIONAL PROLOGUE:

In the exciting opening prologue with extended narration, dishevelled
physician Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy), distraught and seeming
to be psychotic and mad about alien invaders, shouts to an unbelieving
group of nurses, interns, psychiatrists (including Whit Bissel as Dr.
Hill), and doctors (including Richard Deacon as Dr. Harvey Bassett) in
the emergency room of the city's Emergency Hospital where he has been
brought by a police car, that seed pods are taking over the planet:


Doctor, will you tell these fools? I'm not crazy. Make them listen to
me before it's too late.
General practitioner Dr. Miles Bennell explains, in a series of
flashbacks from a few days earlier, the terrifying take-over of the
town of Santa Mira, California. [Note: The fictitious town was first
planned to be modeled after Mill Valley - a town in the Bay Area north
of San Francisco. But then the town of Sierra Madre was chosen for
filming, just east of Pasadena in the greater Los Angeles area.]

You should study your John Hankock then. He helped invent what you
call ''liberal'' thinking.

You should study the labels on your med's 'tard boy. They tell you how often they
should be taken. If you have difficulty, call mommy.
