This movie wants to tell us how important to be a kind people, by showing us how we welcome aliens. But….why human being should welcome Aliens, even without any information about them?! Imagining US’s Custom has been attacked by strange foreigners from unknown country with unknown purposes, what will we do? Defending ourselves from unknown attacks is out natural actions. It’s usual as we will buy a concrete door for house. If we didn’t trust human being, why we should trust Alien? “Trust alien, pls start from dismantling your doors.” But after all, any creative imagination should be encouraged. Besides this unrealistic logic, it’s a good film.

Endless possibilities
This is a pretty good point. Everyone likes to think we would be so welcoming and interested in alien life if we were to ever find it, but in reality we cannot even deal with the differences we have here on Earth. If we can’t achieve peace here within the same species, how would we deal with an entirely different form of life and culture?
Interesting! I never thought about it like this! You’re right if we can’t trust some people in this world how can we ever trust an alien?? Maybe we might welcome it in fear of it destroying us if we don’t welcome it. How about the film ET??? Since he seemed harmless, the boy took him in but what if he looked scarier??
