Fake sci-fi real commercial film with feminist private goods

The full of commercial film routines are all designed for the characteristics of the plot. Regarding the alien, I only agree that it is a monster film with a big brain. Secondly, I was shocked by the feminist private goods entrained in the film. Various image designs in the film have strong sexual hints. The director once admitted that some of the designs were designed to express the rudeness and disrespect of men towards women in society at that time. If this is understandable and acceptable, then the character setting in the play can only be said to be incomprehensible: in the first two parts, the first is the most feminine, and in the first, we see that all the problems are in male characters. In his body, the captain did not act, the male artificial man tried to kill all the crew members, the two repairmen were obsessed with remuneration, and the heroine was a nearly perfect and rational person. The second part is also reflected. From the plot, we can see that Alien will not kill people. He will bring people back to the cave and let the suckers plant eggs in the human body to breed more aliens, but the first battle of the film One of the players was arrested, and the hostess calmly said to the players: "its gone" , And when it was the little girl’s turn to be taken away, the heroine had to rescue herself and the other two male characters on the spaceship. Feminism is undoubtedly revealed. Third, the biggest problem is the logic of the film. As a commercial film, the first two elements are not the focus, but a problem with the logic of the film is the biggest failure. In the first part, the director forcibly added the element of cat in order to create the atmosphere and reason for the first blood and forcibly promote the plot. In fact, this made the character setting and logical core of the whole movie have been greatly impacted: starting from the first blood, The cats are running around on the spaceship, but the director forced a timid repairman who didn’t take money and didn’t work to find cats everywhere in order to send a blood. When crises abound on the ship and the crew is facing annihilation, the heroine is still holding the cat, and the heavily armed crew is still killed by the alien. What is the chance of survival for a person holding a large box with limited mobility when encountering the alien, and The life and death of the crew member is not clear, but the heroine is in the mood to find a cat to save the cat. This is completely inconsistent with the image of a sensible heroine. It can be said that it violates the value of human life is more important than animal life. In the second part, the director seemed to realize the mistake in the first part and replaced the cat with a little girl. This is indeed true in terms of values, but the director made another mistake: the heroine was so desperate to save the little girl but gave up early. In fact, the director’s logic is that the heroine lost her daughter, so he wants to save the little girl. This has been fulfilled since the little girl finally called the heroine mommy, but the foreshadowing is really lacking. Seeing the heroine's fear of aliens, she did not see the heroine's daughter complex at all. There is also a movie that really spares no effort to create the image of a heroine: the heroine, a crew member who has never been trained, not only can use a gun but also is more fierce than anyone else. In the end, she rides through the barrier and rescues the little girl. It has done something that a team of strictly trained fighters can't do.

In short, this movie can only be regarded as a mid-to-high-level commercial film in the 1980s and 1990s that focused on special effects and discussed human nature issues.
