They only look like meat to blend in. It's the only way to figure out if they're made out of meat. | |||||||||||||||||

> They only look like meat to blend in. It's the only way to figure out if they're made out of meat. Perhaps the makers of the movie neglected to read the story before creating a script? | |||||||||||||||||

In the story, the very idea of permanently meat-based beings appals them, and in fact one of them doesn't entirely believe it. So why would they look like meat to "blend in", a priori, if one of them doesn't even fathom the idea? "Blend in" with what? One of them doesn't believe what it's dealing with! Like a sibling comment mentions, they talk about "meat sounds"... using meat sounds! Why would they find it surprising if that's how they are communicating in the short film? They are not depicted as communicating via telepathy or whatever. (Yes, I understand the limitations of low budget shorts. But it doesn't mean it has to work...) | |||||||||||||||||
