Maybe the "others" is 'us', and the 'other' "others" are the 'real' humans?
Kidding - I don't even know about the movie, etc. you're referring too...
Sorry to 'waste' a spot in your thread - hope you got a smile out of it, at the very least!

To me it makes no difference.
It's only the perception that matters. Paranoia is bred out of someone not trusting their own perception.
An example is that you dream that you fall in love. The woman in the dream is perfect in every way and makes you feel happy and complete. In the dream you have great sex, great companionship and she is your best friend. The dream seems so real and seems to go on forever, until you awake. You then realize it was only a dream.
But does it matter?
You go to sleep each night looking forward to meeting her again. She may or may not be real or she may be just as real as everything else. In the end it doesn't matter. It is your perception that says you love her and that she exists.
So if there are "others" that walk among us, it doesn't matter. I perceive them to be what I perceive all people to be. The truth about anything is of little relevance to my perception of the truth.
That is all.
