Aliens
attack a small town and replace people with duplicates devoid of emotion or
individuality. A doctor discovers the plot and tries to stop the invaders.
Critics have argued for years about the film’s theme. Some believe it was a
commentary on conformity in Middle America. Others argue it is a warning about
communism. One critic claims it is an examination of the reduction of
personhood in the face of extreme leftist ideology. Still others point to
Senator McCarthy as inspiration. It could also be the loss of one’s self in the
modern world. One thing is for certain, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is about
the loss of individuality.
