Before we start to pull the calf, let's take a look at several sets of data given by Baidu Baike:
Production cost: US$18.5 million, North American box office: US$85.16 million, Global box office: US$131 million. .
It was 1986 and "Alien 2" was released.
With the foreshadowing of the first part, the second part is justified. That era was the era of explosion of ideas. The film montage method of shooting miniatures became the shooting method used by all film directors of that era. Although some shots would make people feel offensive, these did not affect "Alien" becoming a film in the history of the film. Classics, let's take a look at this IP sequel that created a hard science fiction monster movie style.
At the beginning of the movie, there was still a gloomy and solemn BGM. I have to say that as a sci-fi movie's god assist, the awesome soundtrack master is a must-have equipment-James Horner, who made the soundtrack for the movie "Alien 2". "A truly excellent film soundtrack is invisible, so you are deeply moved but you can't feel its existence."
In the black and deep universe, some information popped up one by one: special effects-Stan Winston (deceased) & Los Angeles special effects company; story-James Cameron, David Giller, Walter Hill. (Based on Characters Created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett)
After the wonderful music, a life-saving capsule was slowly rescued. Our heroine floated over and was rescued. To summarize it simply: sleep, 57 years, daughter died, was irritated, had nightmares, and fell asleep. No, I was harassed by the company behind the scenes. Hey, how could it be described as a word "miserable", but somehow he survived. As a "ruthless character" whose biological age is younger than his daughter, our Ellen Ripley was questioned by a bunch of neuroses about his mental problems. I really want to help the amount, anthropocentrism that will not change for ten thousand years, and uphold " The firm view of "If you don't see it, you don't exist", and blindly believe in unreliable scientific investigations, this setting is the basis for how many sci-fi movie characters have been "annihilated".
At this time Ripley collapsed. Talking to a group of silly X about the sense of crisis is like playing the piano to a cow. I have to say that Sigourney Weaver, an actor in the 1980s, is still old and beautiful, and the development of technology has changed the value of her appearance. Unique exaggeration and rigidity, but that kind of firmness and sharpness suits her well, blending with her thin but firm face.
At 17:23 in the movie, a kid riding a bicycle at a colonial base appeared and passed a sign:
Come, do the reading question: "A beautiful idea usually indicates a bad ending, and the lively beginning is usually to set off the dead silence at the end..."
The ignorant people set off. After nearly ten years of hard work, although the air has been purified, no one planet can be found, especially for the places where the aliens appear in the report. Ripley just woke up and said that he had detected it, and it was all right. Son, it's ridiculous.
While the person in charge was overjoyed, the ignorant humans stabbed a big basket, and they were a family of four, so configuring this is called a living together. It was another reckless man. After spotting the spaceship, his wife asked him to report to the base first, but it was again "curiosity" at work (even worse, first-comer, first-served greed).
His wife accompanied him anxiously, and he entered recklessly, where the director abandoned the detailed narrative and directly released the final result. On the contrary, there is a setting that stupid people will do bad things.
The pitiful little heroine, that hoarse scream was finally covered by the sound of the wind. Between light and dark, the parasitic father became the most terrifying thing in the world, and because of the psychological shadow that began to scare, the little girl’s fear of aliens was implanted in her heart, and finally she could live instinctively and become a survivor. .
Ready to set off, toward the sea of stars that exist in alien forms!
During the preparation period, the arrogance of human beings was deeply portrayed, that is, how awesome it was before seeing it, and how panicked after seeing it. (Just like my mother said: "Awesome makes you blow it up!")
And from the conversation between Ripley and the person in charge of the company, it can be seen that the company is actually very clear about the authenticity of the alien, but he just kept holding back. It is precisely because of this attitude that Ripley has always been vigilant, and it is this kind of alertness. Ripley didn't become a cannon fodder. (The card phone is a bright spot here, the business card plays the role of dialing, I like it very much)
The rest is the story of bringing ignorant humans to death. In the end, those who look down on the heroine have no good end! This is the protagonist's halo, you can't accept it.
And judging from the dialogue and the final result, the mouth is the most vicious, the most pretentious, and the first to pee on his pants.
And from this scene, the biochemical man with indifferent face but god assists, the bishop, made a grand appearance, and it felt like an old-fashioned shark, which was quite wonderful. Comrade William Hudson, the supporting actor who has a mouthful here, was given a little education by the bishop here.
Human arrogance has caused a series of problems, such as affecting unity, such as not listening to Ripley's lectures. Anyway, the heroine has the ability to operate auxiliary heavy machinery. Judging from the investment in preparation work, there are fewer people who know this. So this is considered to be Ripley's skill blessing, and it is this skill that finally defeated the alien.
It’s not difficult to see from this movie that many weapons and equipment have been upgraded, with a stronger look and feel, and a greater sense of design. "Cameron believes that the appeal of this film is that it can use people’s imagination. Alien weapons. Cameron said that he did not want to be a slave to the movie, but the weapons in the movie are really attractive. Although Cameron thinks weapons are one of the highlights of the movie, he plays the heroine Ripley Xue Gone Weaver is opposed to this. Weaver does not like weapons. During the filming process, she is exposed to different kinds of strange weapons every day, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. She is a member of the American Gun Control Association. Member, playing a role in such a bloody sci-fi film made her feel very confused.” (from Baidu Encyclopedia) But the effect of the final movie is amazing, and the whole movie has been qualitatively improved.
People are perceptual and predictable when they are in danger, so in the end they "dreams come true."
The Chinese often say, "The house leaks in the night rain, and the boat meets the wind." It is obvious in this movie. It seems that China and foreign countries can reach a consensus on the understanding of the word "unlucky"—before the crisis, it must be bleak and bleak. Condensation, the heavy rain and the wind will not stop.
And the base is like a purgatory on earth. Compared with the busy and lively before, the quiet passage is suffering every second.
Here they caught the only survivor "Newt". The little girl was alive and well, but she was forcibly rescued by the heroine who thought she was the savior. The moment the little girl was struggling in the arms of the hostess, I thought it was not "I'm so scared, save me, save me!" but "Fuck you TMD, don't stop me, I die faster with you silly people."
And kindly remind Ripley (God's knife), you adults are really useless. His eyes were sincere, revealing numbness, indifference, fear and anger.
And from the equipment in the laboratory, it is not difficult to see that the people in the colonies have already begun to study aliens, and have a preliminary understanding of aliens. This is the problem of interstellar travel-delay, sleep wherever you go, and after many years of sleep, it changes too much. Many, this is that the current interstellar science fiction has become a space jump travel method, and the efficiency is greatly improved.
And in this movie, it is no longer blindly bloody. After suffering the pain of bereavement, Ripley not only met the little heroine "Newt", the seedlings of love began to sprout, and the humans who were killed in the base were massacred. When Hicks, who was promoted to commander later, agreed to her simple decision, the corners of Ripley's mouth rose to reveal her buoyant spring heart. The male protagonist is really handsome, clever and determined, and complements Ripley's strength.
After experiencing so many hardships, I hope that such an excellent hostess can find her beloved, and this episode finally makes this expectation a reality.
After talking about the settlement plan, run away. But I really don't understand that in such a dangerous place, it is possible to leave the door closed, and to change the hood of the plane on board. It is obvious that something wrong has been found on board the ship, but it is a tragedy in a tragedy. William Hudson
Due to carelessness, the plane crashed unexpectedly, so embarrassed that the two men spit at each other (this screenshot is not easy! How boring I am!) Ripley was still talking to the child when the two big men blamed each other. I apologize, after all, I have gone through big winds and waves. Although the critical moment is sentimental, but first comforts the weak. Maybe this child is like a projection of Ripley’s own child, guilt of drifting in the universe for so many years, "I promised to come back with her for her birthday, eleven years old. Birthday." As the film said at the beginning, the biggest debt a mother owes is to her children and her daughters, failing to shoulder the responsibilities of parents. But the child is kind, she in turn comforted Ripley, who is as calm as an adult, and disaster makes people grow up.
Seeing the truth in adversity, Hicks also took this to show his sincerity to Ripley. Although it was only a cryptic suggestion, it was also one of the few sincere smiles of Ripley in the movie. It is so commendable in this cruel movie. In despair, it is this kind of spark that ignites the hope of living.
In the process of learning self-protection, Ripley pointed out the core of the entire "Alien" IP-Alien is the simplest symbol of power, but the ugly faces of human beings in distress caused compatriots to die (such as locking the door). My dear friend), lost the chance to live. For people who are struggling with life and death, even if they die, they must choose the way they want with dignity.
In the end, on the way to death, some people came first, and the little girl was also arrested. "Death is not parting!" If you agree, you must honor it, even if you go through the waters and fires. This is no longer a survivor’s pledge, but a mother’s promise to her child. To live, you must have such hope, otherwise, even if you live, you will be dying. In the final climax of the Terminator, Sarah Connor singled out the T-1000. She changed the bullets with one hand and shot the T-1000 continuously. This image complemented Ripley's last female warrior image, and is a representative of the image of female perseverance in film history. ——The female is weak, but the mother is strong. When struggling to survive with the male protagonist, the relationship between the two has been sublimated.
A wave of unrest has risen again. When strangling the alien nest, this kind of alien nest similar to the social structure of bee and ants condensed the hard work and wonder of the director and the special effects team. This kind of craftsman can make life in this era. I also admire the five-body cast, "The Alien Nest set in "Alien 2" is still well preserved after the filming, and was later used in the movie "Batman" (Batman 1989). Previously, the "Batman" staff The first time I saw these sets, I was very pleased to find that the Alien Nest is still complete." (From "Baidu Encyclopedia")
The final escape process is even more thrilling, and the appearance of the alien matrix pushes the movie to a climax.
As the saying goes: “It’s not a good thing to be happy too early.” After all, the mother body is the mother body, the master of the essence. Not only learned to ride the elevator, but also learned to pick up the spacecraft. When everyone thought they successfully escaped, it came again. As soon as this movie came out, the biochemical man was not spared, the leader was also dismembered, and another screen of white pulp was sprayed. In this movie, the biochemical man not only climbed the pipeline to find the spacecraft, but also grabbed the little girl at the critical moment. He was witty and courageous enough to save everyone with calmness and calmness.
The heroine ran away in a dazed face. Although the alien has various blessings, but the heroine who can't stand the machine is beaten, even the tongue is ejected, but it still doesn't help. In the end, she was severely beaten. Kicked out of the spaceship, I disappeared into the vast universe with resentment. The universe is really a garbage dump. All kinds of littering and aliens are really helpless. They can’t be solved in another way. It’s like this every time, hey, victory. It's not easy to come, the child is really sensible, and she has already assumed that Ripley, who has no hesitation in her heart, is her mother, which is really touching.
I have to say that the side face of the male protagonist before dormancy is really beautiful, I won't repeat it here for you who are idiots, interested friends can find it, Cameron will definitely not let everyone down. Bye~
