Alien
ackblom12:
I actually think it would be fairly easy to argue the Aliens as a nasty mirror of the human race. What makes them so horrifying is just how familiar they can be. At our worst we're really no better than they, killing, consuming resources and reproducing at a ridiculous pace. In that sense, it would be the never ending conflict between the best and worst of human nature. Of course in this case, the best of human nature is fragile, already broken and constantly on the verge of collapse.
God I love these movies.

Oh man I saw Alien and Aliens on BD the other day. Totally going to buy them now.

--- Quote from: ackblom12 on 04 Dec 2012, 09:26 ---If you analyze Aliens, I actually wonder if it has more to say about motherhood, PTSD or Survivor's Guilt. Motherhood is definitely the one that has the most obvious and central message.

actually more about the womb and birth.

I don't mean to quote myself but I kind of had to. Watching this again (saw the old version) made me watch the movie analysis of High Plain Drifter by the same guy. Holy crap is that a great movie analysis. It's so dark. High Plains drifter is now hirer on my favorite western movies of all time.
Lupercal:
They both have their merits. I suppose Alien leaves you wanting Ripley to survive, whereas Aliens leaves you wanting to see Ripley blow that motherfucker away. I would love to say more but I haven't watched either of these films in a while and need a fresh perspective on them I think.
Hidden question 3: Prometheus - ruins all mystery of Alien and asks a load of questions it never answers! Discuss
Pilchard123:
I wondered when Prometheus was going to come up.
That's about as much as I can contribute, since I've never seen any of them.
EDIT: Also this, and a recommendation to never Google "My Little Xenomorph"
