  I love movies, but I reached one point where I watched so many movies, that there are many movies that I watch now and I rate as "more of the same'. There are multiple clichê used by filmmakers, repeated formulas. Comedies usually have similar dynamics, funny jokes, and happiness, then there comes a time when the protagonist suffers a bit, and then the protagonist makes everything go well. Horror movies also bring a similar formula, a monster or a slasher that goes after dumb people who only make dumb decisions. Sci-fi movies also are rare to see something innovating. By coincidence yesterday I was trying to find a new movie to watch, even not being so new, but one that I didn't watch. I started to watch 3 movies but stopped to watch after seeing that it is a repeated formula. Of course, in the past, I have many movies to talk about here. Good dramas, good comedies, good horror movies, and even good action movies. But I decided to talk about a movie that I watched in the last couple of weeks that fits with the moment of the year, near Halloween day. That doesn't mean that I liked the movie as a whole, but it surprised me a bit, that's why created a type of reaction. It even made me look for some reading material to see if I understood correctly the end. It is called "No one will save you". Please be aware that you are going to see some spoilers here.

  Eu adoro filmes, mas cheguei a um ponto em que assisti tantos filmes que muitos deles agora parecem "mais do mesmo" para mim. Os cineastas costumam usar clichês, fórmulas repetidas. As comédias geralmente têm dinâmicas semelhantes, piadas engraçadas e felicidade, mas chega um momento em que o protagonista sofre um pouco e, em seguida, o protagonista resolve tudo. Os filmes de terror também seguem uma fórmula semelhante, um monstro ou um assassino perseguindo pessoas que tomam decisões tolas. Filmes de ficção científica também são raros de inovar. Por coincidência, ontem eu estava tentando encontrar um novo filme para assistir, mesmo que não seja tão novo, mas um que eu ainda não tivesse assistido. Comecei a assistir a 3 filmes, mas parei de assistir quando percebi que era a mesma fórmula repetida. Claro, no passado, tenho muitos filmes dos quais falar. Bons dramas, boas comédias, bons filmes de terror e até mesmo bons filmes de ação. Mas decidi falar sobre um filme que assisti nas últimas semanas que se encaixa com o momento do ano, perto do Dia das Bruxas. Isso não significa que eu tenha gostado do filme como um todo, mas ele me surpreendeu um pouco, o que criou uma reação. Até me fez procurar algum material de leitura para ver se entendi corretamente o final. O filme se chama "Ninguém Vai Te Salvar". Esteja ciente de que você verá alguns spoilers aqui.

  The movie is about a very isolated young girl. She lives by herself in a big house a bit far from downtown. The movie emphasized so much this isolation that throughout the whole movie, you can hear only one line of speech. We start to understand why she is lonely during the movie, with the whole story revealed in the end. But the main story is about an alien invasion of the world. So the movie starts with the young girl happy and writing letters to someone special, which we understand in the end is to her dead sister. But one night everything starts, someone invades her home, and since the movie is about alien invasion, at this point you know who it is. Mostly the whole movie happens with lots of scary moments, with different aliens trying to get her, all shapes and sizes, including a big one similar with multiple legs, like a spider. During the movie, we also see abductions and humans with a type of parasite that controls their minds. In my point of view, the director tried to show multiple different types of things that usually happen in this type of movie. When they finally get her, after controlling at least all of her city, they analyze her brain and see her story. It is a sad story and explains why she has been isolated by the entire town, including her parents. The sister who was sending thousands of letters during the movie was killed when they were young kids after a discussion with each other. She got mad with her sister and used a rock to kill her sister. After that revelation moment, we see the protagonist waking up again in her house happy like everything was a dream, she goes into the street like a musical singing and dancing with all the people in town. She is happy and we get confused, was it just a dream? No. The movie ends by showing all the aliens flying saucers over the town. So it was a different ending right?

  O filme é sobre uma jovem muito isolada. Ela vive sozinha em uma grande casa um pouco afastada do centro da cidade. O filme enfatiza tanto esse isolamento que durante toda a película, você pode ouvir apenas uma linha de diálogo. Começamos a entender por que ela está sozinha ao longo do filme, com toda a história revelada no final. Mas a história principal é sobre uma invasão alienígena ao mundo. Então o filme começa com a jovem feliz escrevendo cartas para alguém especial, o que entendemos no final ser para sua irmã falecida. Mas uma noite tudo começa, alguém invade sua casa, e, como o filme trata de uma invasão alienígena, nesse ponto você sabe quem é. A maior parte do filme acontece com muitos momentos assustadores, com diferentes alienígenas tentando capturá-la, de todas as formas e tamanhos, incluindo um grande semelhante a uma aranha, com várias pernas.

Durante o filme, também vemos abduções e humanos com um tipo de parasita que controla suas mentes. Na minha opinião, o diretor tentou mostrar diferentes tipos de coisas que normalmente acontecem nesse tipo de filme. Quando finalmente a capturam, depois de controlar pelo menos toda a cidade, eles analisam o cérebro dela e conhecem sua história. É uma história triste e explica por que ela foi isolada por toda a cidade, inclusive por seus pais. A irmã que estava enviando milhares de cartas durante o filme foi morta quando eram crianças depois de uma discussão entre elas. Ela ficou brava com a irmã e a matou com uma pedra. Após esse momento de revelação, vemos a protagonista acordando novamente em sua casa, feliz como se tudo tivesse sido um sonho, ela vai para a rua como em um musical, cantando e dançando com todas as pessoas da cidade. Ela está feliz e ficamos confusos, foi apenas um sonho? Não. O filme termina mostrando todas as naves alienígenas sobrevoando a cidade. Portanto, foi um final diferente, não foi?

  I interpreted that the aliens just decided to create a happy world because she was a tough fighter against the invasion and it was a prize that they decided to give her. After reading an interview with the director, he mentioned that but also mentioned that the aliens are shown as no emotional creatures in all the movies, but somehow they could be touched by her story and decided to make a happy place for her. So in a clichê movie, you would see either the aliens being defeated and a happy ending or the invasion got succeded and the girl would be killed or being just one more puppet in the invasion. But no, the director found a way to find a middle ground, but a very weird one. It is good to see a different movie in the genre, despite of having a different story also was remarkable like the movie called "Nope" directed by Jordan Peele.

  Eu interpretei que os alienígenas simplesmente decidiram criar um mundo feliz porque ela era uma lutadora obstinada contra a invasão e isso foi um prêmio que eles decidiram dar a ela. Após ler uma entrevista com o diretor, ele mencionou isso, mas também mencionou que os alienígenas são mostrados como criaturas sem emoções em todos os filmes, mas de alguma forma eles foram tocados pela história dela e decidiram criar um lugar feliz para ela. Portanto, em um filme clichê, você veria ou os alienígenas sendo derrotados e um final feliz, ou a invasão tendo sucesso e a garota sendo morta ou se tornando apenas mais uma marionete na invasão. Mas não, o diretor encontrou uma maneira de encontrar um meio-termo, mas um muito estranho. É bom ver um filme diferente no gênero, apesar de ter uma história diferente, também foi marcante, como o filme chamado "Nope" dirigido por Jordan Peele.

I'm not a big Sci-Fi fan but I'm sort of a Dr. Who fan and by that admission I think the Earth has been the target by many alien civilizations,as claimed by the magazine, 'Interstellar Empires Digest'

As long as it has a good blend of Sci-fi-horror, it will fit my bill. "Who's next to Invade Earth, Take a number!"

I'm more curious with the old TV Show, The Invaders which followed some time after the Twilight zone.untitled.gif
I've never seen any episode in it's entirety, too busy at work to see it in the patient lounge.

I remember that show! When I was a kid we didn’t have cable. We were on vacation in 1993 or so so I remember it coming on in the hotel on SciFi channel! I remember my dad was saying it was his favorite as a kid. I don’t think it ran but a season right? I’d love to watch it!

I can even still hear the guy in Intro say “The Invaders”

I remember it was when Comeheads was coming out and every other commercial on sci-fi channel at time or SyFy whatever, was for Coneheads. My dad was like this looks terrible but we kept watching these Classics regardles 🤣
It was Invaders then Lost In Space.
Was I mistaken In my other reply? Only ran for one season right? I remember my dad saying it never had an ending. It was candles on a season ending with cliff hanger…

I saw the film, and it is incredible that the aliens have a greater understanding of their protagonist than the humans themselves. Almost the whole film is without dialogue and it reminds us of other classics like Signs, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and even E.T. Excellent film, a mixture of horror and science fiction.

I am not going to watch the movie because I read the spoiler here 😅. I will try to watch it when I will forget about the spoiler. Storyline sounds simple but it's a matter to see how the presentation was.
