A bit of a dead end...

One of the interesting points of the 7.0 "Alien" series is that different directors will bring their own different styles into movies of the same theme. Finch has also done this, the religious elements in the film are sober, a little bit of eroticism is added, including the addition of a first-person perspective of the opposite sex in photography. These elements all bring out the personal expression of the director himself. Of course, it is undeniable that, with the filming of a series, the horror element itself is a selling point. It has become more and more aesthetically fatigued, even if the addition of CG technology makes the alien itself more complete in form and action. But it still can't hide the slightly doomed nature of this series of films.

Alien 3 quotes

  • Boggs: Watch your step, brother

  • Ripley: How 'bout leveling with me? Well, when I asked how you got assigned here you avoided the question. And then when I asked about the prison ID tattooed on the back of your head you ducked me again.

    Clemens: It's a long, sad story. And more than a little melodramatic.

    Ripley: Try me.

    Clemens: [smiles] If you insist. After my student years, despite the fact that I had become secretly addicted to morphine, I was considered to be most promising. A man with a future. Then during my first residency I did a thirty-six hour stretch on an ER. So I went out and I got more than a little drunk. Then I got called back. Boiler had blown on a fuel plant and there were thirty casualties. And eleven of them died. Not as a result of the accident but because I prescribed the wrong dosage of painkiller. And I got seven years in prison and my licence reduced to a 3C.

    [pause]

    Clemens: At least I got off the morphine.
