... but also to humanity, and is integral to human survival. The film contrasts this maternal desire with the'other', a representation of sexuality focused on embodiment and monstrous reproduction.

This is the ideologyr epresented by the Company, a profit-motivated, exploitative enterprise whose disregard for human life, and the values that maternal d ...
