Alien 3, Dylan's Redemption

Prisoners in hermit robes, biblical Dylan (both the role of priest and mentor), choir-like soundtrack, and deliberately downplaying femininity for abstinence (Ripley's bald head). Obviously, the film has a strong religious color, while Eschatology and Redemption are the main themes hidden behind the plot of the film. The background of the story of prison and long-term punishment is reminiscent of another famous movie "The Redemption of Shawshank". It seems that prison is the ideal place of salvation in the minds of many filmmakers. For a commercial film, this kind of literary and artistic style may make the audience feel a little confusing, but I really like this kind of tune, at least it makes the story itself not so straightforward.

Ripley is pregnant, and this stalk bought in the first two episodes is finally activated in this episode. The first generation of sexual cues, the second generation’s dream of childbirth, the third generation of aliens killed doctors but not Ripley, and Ripley was listed as the highest priority by the company. Such sufficient preparation made Ripley’s pregnancy a surprise In the plot. Just as the United States let Bin Laden live to start the war on terrorism, and let Bin Laden die to end the war on terrorism.

Compared with the second generation, Alien 3 pays better attention to details, which makes the movie more durable, and the audience can also take a closer look after watching the movie, instead of simply watching it. For example, an accidental explosion in the middle of the film caused a big fire. After the fire was extinguished, an iron barrel ruptured due to thermal expansion and contraction, which paved the way for the final demise of the alien. In the end, Ripley, like Hicks and Newt, was buried in a high-temperature furnace, and it was also regarded as the same end by different routes. In addition, the high degree of compatibility between the scriptures of the Bible and the plot of the film is also a highlight of the film.

In order to contrast the company's greed and stupidity, the film also put a lot of effort into the plot setting. Even the jailer with an IQ of only 85 (it’s said that Bush’s IQ is only so little, do science fiction films really have the ability to predict the future?) knew that aliens must be eliminated; comparing the loyalty of the Bishop of Biochemistry with the unscrupulous means of his designers, The appearance of the bishop's designer implies that Alien 3's time was shortly after Alien 2.

As an audience member, I regret that the story of the male doctor ended too early and was a bit scribbled. It feels like he is a person with a great story, far more complicated and tortuous than what he said, and it would be more interesting if it can be spread out. I don’t know if everyone feels the same with me. Maybe it’s because of the blond hair and baldness. I think Charles Dance was a bit similar to Russian President Putin. Many years later, Dans appeared in "Game of Thrones" and felt that his image and temperament had changed a lot.

This film is the first big-screen movie directed by David Fincher. It is said that the box office of this film is bleak, and it can only barely make a profit. Perhaps the literary style does not suit the audience's taste. However, this film fully demonstrated Vinci’s ability to manipulate large-screen movies and his unspoken characteristics, so he has since shot "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Social Network" and other masterpieces. Not surprisingly.

Finally, let’s talk about the Japanese-made elements that can be seen everywhere in the film. The film was completed in 1992. At that time, it was at the peak of Japanese manufacturing. Japan’s bubble economy had just burst. The world did not expect Japan to fall into the "lost 10 years" (in fact, there are already two). The elements made in Japan are also appropriate. Regarding the grand occasion of making in Japan back then, readers who understand the contents of my signature file should have experienced that era. At that time, Japanese products, led by home appliances, had a long history in the country. With advanced technology and reliable quality, a generation of consumers were in droves. It also left a deep impression on me when I was young. Now that Japanese goods are constantly being hit by European and American manufacturing and Chinese manufacturing in the high-end and low-end markets, the time has passed. The declining furnace factory in this film is the best footnote to the decline of Japanese manufacturing.

Alien 3 quotes

  • Andrews: We've 25 prisoners in this facility. All double-Y chromos. All thieves, rapists, murderers, child-molesters... All scum. Just because they have taken on religion doesn't make them any less dangerous. I try not to offend their convictions. I don't want to upset the order. I don't want ripples in the water. And I don't want a woman walking around, giving them ideas...

    Ripley: I see. For my own personal safety...

    Andrews: Exactly...

  • Morse: [When Dillon proposes to fight the Alien] When the fuck can't we wait for the company to have some guns on our side? Why - why should we go on a fuckin' suicide run?
