Once the purpose flies overhead, the machinery and technology in the approach begins to fail the cars wont start, the phones dont work, and the power grid for the homes goes dark. Though there may be m whatever different messages to interpret with this particular episode, I believe the main one to jump come on(p) out at us is this if technology fails us, we resort to our primal instincts and chaos ensues. This is evident when a raw boy in the livehood hypothesizes that the object overhead is some sort of alien craft, and that the aliens wont let any of them leave the neighborhood.The boy goes on to mention that in a comic book that he read, solo the aliens sent down before the spacecraft would be able to leave the town and that they would look and hazard just like one of them (humans). I would personally find this idea a farce, alone the neighborhood entertains this idea after a man disappears to investigate the next block over and doesnt return for hours. At this point, m ass hysteria begins to take hold.The neighborhood becomes suspicious of their neighbors and begins to ostracize one another to epitome out who the invaders are. When one neighbors car starts on its own, the mob is quick to question why his car works but theirs dont. Another neighbor points out that she often sees the man standing out in his yard latterly at night, gazing up into the sky as if he were looking for something. Accusations continue to be passed around, with each neighbor pointing out something suspicious about the other.Are we beginning to see the theme here? As night falls, paranoia has interpreted over. Though some might argue that it would likely take more than one day for neighbors to bear so rashly, its easy to e that in this confusion of an inexplicable event how effectively The Twilight regularize fast-forwards the like-minded mob mentality to communicate the episodes message. A figure appears in the street, and one man intellection it to be some sort of invad er-?raises a gun and kills the figure for all the mob to see.Its revealed to us that the figure was no monster at all, just the innocent neighbor that went to investigate the other blocks only equal of hours earlier. At this point, the mob accuses the man who shot their neighbor that hes the real monster-?maybe he wanted them idle all along. They throw stones at him and more chaos ensues. At the end of the episode the camera pans out to a spacecraft perched on a hill overlooking the neighborhood. Two aliens look on as the neighborhood rips itself apart.They discuss how easily man can be manipulated when you take away their technology and how speedily they turn on one other in times of great panic. The episode concludes with them mentioning how easy it allow be to conquer the species with this knowledge in hand. Personally I think The Twilight Zone did an subtle job of showcasing how quickly we can turn on one another in times of crisis. In my own experience with the military, I ve been in several situations where something went wrong and people began looking for others to blame.
