1-4 is a whole, even if there are different directors, the duality unites for self-war and identification

I further thought that "Alien" is actually not a feminist film, or it is more than simple feminism. I now think it more highlights the energy of androgyny (binary merger). As a warrior, Ripley is a female, and it is by itself. A kind of hermaphrodite is erected on the most intuitive level. Looking at the appearance of the first generation of aliens, it is actually a JJ and a GT, but in the second episode, there is a female queen alien (the image of the ant colony itself is referred to in the American shaman tradition). enemy, corresponding to warrior), neutralize the male alien to a dark side. At this time, Ripley and alien form a duality similarity. When she becomes the mother of alien to some extent, especially in the fourth When you personally kill/release a humanoid alien (her child) into space, it seems to indicate such a relationship between warriors and enemies (self-resistance): you can only incorporate the enemy into your body (system), And make it reappear in the form of a part of the self, and then kill it, that is, kill the part of the self that needs to be removed but was difficult to be realized or abandoned before, in order to truly clear the nightmare of the dual universe.

Cameron’s second film has been demoted the most, undoubtedly because of the style of the movie. Scott’s status is unshakable in the hearts of fans. In the third film, Virgo Vinci is his typical bronze tone religious and ethical suspense, especially monks. Feeling, Christian fundamentalism, sacrifice, temptation, atonement, the biohazard bishop being connected and unplugged is very moving. The overall visually lonely but still dark and warm tone, this is actually a very good sequel. In the fourth episode, the ethical conflict is stronger than the aesthetics. For example, most movie fans cannot accept the alien with crappy skull eyes. But I think the great thing about the Alien series is that it proposes a clearer dream stage. It is said that there may be a Scott’s Alien awakening next year. As for whether that movie will be "awakening" enough, I don’t know, but Alien 1-4 series It is indeed the pre-awakening series. This is also the four directors, one heroine and one alien connected to form a complete section from Leo to Sagittarius (I think the alien happens to be the only vacant Scorpio position), about self-establishment, self-war and The self-identifying part.

    Adhering to the style of Lao Lei's Alien 1... Join Vinci's human belief in the dark temperament... The undead queen Weaver can finally thank her clan... Now... Lao Lei and Finch have grasped the point that aliens should not be mass-killed like 2...Humans are the targets of mass-killing...

    I think it is the most in-depth of the first three, and Vinci's mirror is also very good, completely creating a sense of the end of the world. The parallel editing of that cremation and the birth of Alien Caesarean is so beautiful! The whole film is also full of unusual effects combining religious metaphors and eschatological scenes. The final leap in depth also coincides with the meaning of Jesus sacrificing himself.
