best and worst qualities of being human - Under The Skin

What are the best and worst qualities of being human ?   Which of these does the film show ?You can write a list or a piece of continuous writing.



The film portrays many qualities of being human, but for me it mainly shows the worst qualities. Firstly it shows humans do not have any self-control when it comes to sexual desires and this causes them to rape or murder to get what they want. The film shows graphically how evil humans really can be when the desires take over them. Another negative quality is that humans sometimes to not pay attention to what is happening and are often blind to the evil and bad things happening around them when they are focusing on one thing, ignoring everything else. The film also shows that everyone has a bit of evil in them whether they give it or receive it. In the film we do not see any signs of remorse or feelings of regret for what each character has done which shows humans are quite heartless in a way if they are not hurting themselves but others, instead. 
Some of the good qualities the film portrays are the that people can gain emotions and empathy no matter the situation they are put in or their background, this is because everyone feels pain and sadness. At the end of the film the spectators are made to feel a bit of pity for the main character, who in fact killed or sexually assaulted a lot of people, even after everything she has done. This could symbolise that everyone can be forgiven no matter what, which is a positive human quality as everyone is able to forgive they just have to have the courage to do so.
