`Body Snatchers (6) Disease as Predation




















It isn't just the unknown per se that we fear, but also the predation in disease, among other things, that we fear.

It is certainly easy, and no doubt understandable and expected, for us to mark disease as predatory.  But in my thesis of our elemental relationship with disease as a battle for survival, disease may very well mark humankind as such.  

Note: In the DVD for `The Invasion (2007), the fourth film adaptation of the classic Jack Finney novel `The Body SnatchersWe've Been Snatched Before is a feature program.  I couldn't find an upload of it on YouTube, so the next best thing, I thought, was to capture this thought-provoking program via the foregoing screen shots.
