Writer's Block: Little monsters

I think mine would be some sort of tragic tale about how our human methods of communication keep us so restricted. I've spent a lot of time thinking how there could be life on other planets, and yet us as humans have not been able to recognize it as such because we use an Earthling's classification of what is "life" or being "alive".
And while I know it has actually been done quite a few times, its a story type that I really find fascinating.
Perhaps the twist of the movie would be that in fact, the monsters are the humans; we destroy something just because we do not consider it to be, or realize that it is, alive.
