Love, Death & Robots: Swarm (2022)
Great story & animation ..also a representation of human body, bacteria and immune system ?
I always like the story of humans exploring a new world, it's inhabitants and it's way of life . This story showcases the nature of certain humans, who always try to use most things they find to their benefit , without thinking of the larger picture and by justifying it in a way they think is right ! (We are all guilty of it in some ways )
As soon as I stared watching this episode , could not help but think, what if humans in this story are the bacteria of our world (let's say covid) trying to enter a human body (highly intelligent organic being swarm). Swarm just like our human bodies has a lot of aliens working in an organised way. Just like red blood cells, mitochondria and all the other microscopic parts that have a certain function which work together to form and allow our complex human body to function . Just like the swarm , human body has a lot of external microbes and bacteria that work symbiotically with our cells aiding it's functions.
Lastly, the week old intelligent being that we see at the end ( which has a millions of years of racial memory ) . That sounds exactly like our extremely complex immune system. Our immune system remembers the foot print & structure of the bacteria that it has previously fought off and is ready if the same bacteria enters our body again . The soldiers fighting for the queen are centrally like our killer white cells (Lymphocyte and parts of our immune systems fighting the Intruders) protecting the human body and it's queen ( our heart).
Human body like the swarm has lived for millions of years perfecting this system through evolution .
