The container definitely stands for the power to emphatize, to see the world through someone else's eyes. That's all that is sure to me.

The Change from being human to slowly becoming alien and how life changes as result reminds me of Metamorphosis Franz Kafka.

Remove the summary please, it is redundant -- people watching this video have seen the movie.

Personally, I like your metaphor/similie (not sure), but i personally thought that he was abusive of power eg, when he says he won't kill people, then goes killing mercs more or less unnecessarily and mocking it, it more seems to be abusive. But, i guess he isn't supposed to think about things, just realise them, or like you said, his relapse into violence, OR more probable, it's a movie, so they need booms. Nice outlook on the film, and great summary of society!

your right, ripping those elctrodes out and becomeing one with yourself is hard when all you do is try to conform to fit in and it would be a nice change of pace to be actually comfortable in one's own skin than hide behind a facade... :)

Good video, though I didn't understand if stefbot meant:
1) These are metaphors that I perceive in the movie
2) The writer wanted to convey these metaphors

Awesome review Stef!
But I'm suprised you didn't touch on this facet thouh; the state, yet again, messing with free trade.
It seems to me that all these aliens really wanted was catfood, old computer parts, guns and to reproduce to be able to live peacefully and integrate the local economy.
Of course, you can see the main character often talking about permits, licenses and things alike when he's "cleaning up" the shanty town, going door to door.
