Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin movie is a sci-fi flick, but strewn quite differently from its predecessor films during the 80s and the 90s. Back then, whenever a film was categorized under science fiction, it would immediately be associated with people who were labeled as nerds or geeks. Now, however, sci-fi flicks have become a more mainstream theme for entertainment.
Science fiction can be meshed with comedy, just like in last year's "The World's End". Plus, even most of today's action-filled blockbusters, such as a mega franchise from Marvel, "The Avengers", are sci-fi movies. At present, science fiction is also making its way in the movie industry's more artsy presentation.
Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin was actually loosely adapted from Michel Faber's novel in the year 2000. The film was expertly directed by UK's Jonathan Glazer, who happens to be a visionary auteur.
Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin performance will be in a very gloomy Glasgow setting. An alien decides to land on Scotland, as it takes form on Earth as a very beautiful young woman. This is where Johansson steps in. What will make this movie interesting is her mission to hunt men and eat them. "Eat", in this sense, does not have a double meaning since Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin character will literally bite the men and chew their meat.
Her body and beauty is her weapon, and as she seduces the men, they fall so easily into her trap. In fact, the men are instantly attracted to her and have absolutely no idea what they are getting themselves into.
Her man-eating conquests have all been successful, until she meets an ill man who is very shy. Perhaps this is when she realizes that her seductive powers do not work on everyone.
During her hunting endeavors, she is being followed by another alien, who is played by Jeremy McWilliams, who happens to be a real-life racer.
This Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin performance is believed to be one of her best acting performances since she came out for "Girl with a Pearl Earring", which was ten years ago.
