The first remake of the sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers, directed by Philip Kaufman and released in 1978. For the other remakes, go here.Donald Sutherland stars as Dr. Bennell (whose first name is now Matthew instead of Miles) and the setting is transferred to The City of San Francisco, working in an effective theme of urban alienation which, in some respects, actually reverses the theme of the original; at one point, a character expresses her paranoia that she keeps seeing people recognizing each other, isolation being such a feature of city life that excessive human contact itself is suspicious.This version also focused on the "malaise" of the '70s and cranked up the Body Horror; little wonder, then, that three of its stars (Brooke Adams, Art Hindle, and Jeff Goldblum) all went on to make films with David Cronenberg. Also in the cast are Leonard Nimoy and Veronica Cartwright. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Many interpret the behavior of the pod people – crushing individuality and human expression in favor of emotionless conformity – as a metaphor for puritanical conservatism and the end of the '60s counterculture. The way the duplicates emerge out of the pods looks horrifically evocative of childbirth. | |

Twist Ending | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: The ending scene has become so universally iconic and recognized, that many people have forgotten it's actually a twist ending. (It appears as if Matthew escaped the pod people, and has blended into their midst by hiding his emotions. Nancy, who has herself succeeded in doing so, approaches him, resulting in the famous ending twist.) | |

| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear when precisely Kibner gets replaced, as while he acts emotional in all his scenes before The Reveal, it is shown that the duplicates can convincingly fake human emotions, and a lot of his behavior can be interpreted as trying to aid the invasion. | |

| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Nancy realizes that she's now the last human left in all of San Francisco seeing that Matthew's been replaced, and she's been exposed, so she most likely will also be captured and replaced. It's also clear that by then the pods have spread far beyond San Francisco and that humanity may be doomed. Played with, however, in that it's explicitly shown the Pods' parasitic lifestyle is stupid and unsustainable; all they're "winning" by taking over Earth is draining another planet dry before being forced to try and flee again. | |

Aliens Are Bastards | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_3a90dc63 | comment |
Aliens Are Bastards: The Pod People are gelatinous aliens who invade occupied home worlds and parasitize them by depleting all physical resources while replacing/killing off its native life forms after they supposedly ruined their own world the same way. Their parasitic behavior backfires on and even harms them as well because they too quickly exhaust an entire planet of resources and so they move on to different planets. | |

Body Horror | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The remake answers the question of what happened to the people whom the pods replaced. They dessicate and then implode whilst crumbling into ash. This was hinted at or at least suggested in the original, where The Hero theorized that once the pod replacements are fully formed the originals are somehow destroyed by deterioration. It also shows us some of the "foetal" duplicates, which are partially formed, slimy, blood-and-snot hued variants covered in hairy filaments. And on top of it all, we see what happens when a pod tries to replicate something that's very close to another organism; the gestating pod can't distinguish between the multiple organisms and comes out as some kind of hideous chimerical creature, which happens to Harry and his dog, who produce a pod "person" who's a dog with a human skull. | |

Granola Girl: Nancy. She plays music to help her plants grow, says that no one would notice the pods because of all "the impurities" in their lives, and even talks about how "spacemen mated with monkeys to create the human race." | |

Meaningful Background Event | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_5b565147 | comment |
Meaningful Background Event: When Elizabeth first picks one of the pod flowers, a teacher with a group of children pass her and start doing the same; the teacher can be heard encouraging them while saying they could take them home to their parents, explaining how the invasion really kicks off. When Matthew is speaking in the hallway of the Health Department, the camera swings around and briefly reveals that someone is staring at them through the glass panel of a door, with his face pressed creepily close. While Elizabeth is walking down the street, several people sprint by, as if chasing or running away from someone. You'll often see garbage men in the background, and as the movie progresses they're throwing away more and more of the black end-result of pod transformation. If you listen carefully, you can hear a decrease in natural sounds, such as dogs barking or birds chirping, as the film progresses. You also hear an increasing number of sirens in the background during the first half, only for them to rather suddenly cease in the second half. | |

Former Teen Rebel: The principle characters, particularly Matthew and Elizabeth, are hinted to be this, as part of the film's theme of the end of the counterculture of the 60s; once hippies of various stripes, they're now just more cogs in the broken system, even before the invaders show up. | |

Deconstructed, as it's made clear that this isn't an intelligent or sustainable way of living; the pods' consumption of worlds and obsession with conformity is as destructive to them as it is towards their victims. | |

Foreshadowing: One of the first things we see is a priest sitting on a swing set as if he's imitating the children playing around him without understanding what they're doing. It later becomes apparent that this is the first pod person we see and that's exactly what he's doing. Early on, a man is shown running through crowds by the Health Department and a pod scream can be faintly heard. As the film progresses, you hear more and more sirens blaring in the background signaling the spread of the invasion... and then about halfway through, the sirens abruptly stop. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: A rather dark example: In the scene where Pod Kibner and Pod Bellicec corner Matthew in his office, both say that life is better as pods than as a human. Matthew protests by incredulously saying that Bellicec never agreed with Kibner about anything in his life, as though he were still dealing with the real, human Kibner and Bellicec with their personalities intact rather than alien hive-mind clones. | |

Setting Update: This version showed the invasion taking place in a colder, more impersonal "I'm OK, you're OK, everyone's OK" national culture that often openly questioned whether America's best years as a country were behind it. In such an environment, the invasion succeeds. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: The pods are very intelligent at staging their invasions and subsuming the natives of whatever planet they're on to steal their resources, but also too stupid and single-mindedly obsessed with doing so to recognize that this is unnecessary and actively detrimental to their long-term survival. They drain planets dry and are forced to flee to a new one rather than just living sustainably. | |

Earth All Along: Although Director Philip Kaufman (in the DVD Director's Commentary) confirms that the barren rocky-surface planet filled with gelatinous aliens (who are the film's titular villains, the pod people) seen at the beginning of the movie is their home world, he said that he also likes to think of it as the Earth in the future or another planet that used to have life. But whichever planet they're on, the aliens are all leaving to find another because they've exhausted all of its physical resources. | |

| Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: Jack, for the first few scenes he's in, is extremely self-centered and self-aggrandizing, lambasting Kibner for putting out pop-psychology while exalting himself (and simultaneously admitting he struggles to write even one sentence, which he attributes to selecting his words carefully), and shows No Sympathy to the crisis Elizabeth is going through. Once they discover a pod, though, he undergoes some significant Character Development. | |

Hope Spot: Dr. Kibner tells Matthew that he believes him and will help him gain support from city officials to implement a response similar to an epidemic. Then it's revealed that Kibner is already a pod. The "Amazing Grace" scene. Matthew hears an instrumental version of the song and goes to investigate, thinking it must mean some humans survived the invasion. It turns out it was simply playing on the radio, in between announcements to the pod duplicates. The final hope spot comes when Matthew sets fire to the pod factory. Unfortunately, the invasion continues unabated the next day. | |

Digging Yourself Deeper: When Matthew tries to tell the police about Elizabeth's pod double, he also has to admit that he broke into someone's home in the middle of the night and technically abducted a sleeping woman. | |

Red Light District: Matthew and Elizabeth pass through one, with the proprietors promising that their shows will "make you feel like a new man." There's an obvious unspoken implication that the pods are using brothels and such as a way to easily replace people. | |

Brick Joke: Matthew first appears giving an inspection on a French restaurant, where he finds a rat turd in some soup and plans to throw the book at the owner (but not before they throw a bottle of wine at his car). It's later revealed that Dr. Kibner wasn't too pleased. In addition, the additional health inspectors Matthew sends to the restaurant return with a huge dead rat. | |
