Even though this is meant to be a Science Fiction movie revolving around aliens, it does make a powerful statement about the human condition and the struggle certain people have to go through. Using "aliens" to represent any kind of repressed people, be it illegal aliens, people persecuted because of race, gender, etc., everyone should be able to understand the underlying message within the film. This alien race is facing mass hatred, prejudice, being cast out of society, everything that people have to struggle and fight through. There are actually scenes within the film that had a strong resemblance to the photos taken during the Civil Rights movement that the feelings of persecution really hit home. This really is a great example of the human struggle.
