It is in 2025 and I just saw a foreigner of 1979 for the first time – these are my sincere thoughts

I do not expect to forgive not to see him as a “foreigner” until I was 36 years old. As with my resistance to the Pitles, which only spoiled when the world suffered from a worldwide and I had nothing else, I even knew that I had not seen any of the “strange” films just a mistake. Like some indispensable monster of cosmic horror, the concession was always present in the vicinity of my consciousness, and it chases my existence and emitted from it a low -tone every time he was playing on another Netflix.

Now, Disney is clearly adopted the privilege of a new generation with Effective but safe “alien: romulus” In 2024 and A new TV series in the form of “Alien: Earth” (which represents a big problem for the epic timeline). So, it is time to finally stare on the face directly, which means that it begins from where everything started in 1979.

With the fact that “alien” is loved and celebrated as it is, I would like to say that I move away from the movie with a contradictory situation that would review the fans enough to raise some meaningful discussions. But I get it. I understand why this film has the reputation it is doing, and while I am disappointed, I waited for this long time to watch it, I am also grateful in some way. “Alien” is a movie. This type of films that are difficult to find in the era of broadcasting in the sea of “content” in which we find ourselves often. It is a slow burning that somehow can avoid boredom or risk the fans of her fans. It is a mood masterpiece, atmosphere, production design, speed and objective ringing. I understood why he was considered before his time, but it really seems that he is completely out of time – a truly immortal journey to a cosmic horror that deserves every part of the praise that has been received and may be more important and important today than it was about half a century ago.

There are many interesting aspects of “Alien” that is difficult to know where to start. I can talk about irresistible repressive mood for this movie, which has never stumbled enough to remind you that you are watching a piece of Hollywood sweets. This in itself is impressive for a movie of this elaborate ambition that took place in 1979. Something should feel ancient thing about the design of the film’s production, but no. Even the truly outdated elements such as CRT screens feel that they belong to the aesthetic “foreigner”. There is no doubt that this is partly due to the embrace of contemporary contemporary that depends on nostalgia to the long -standing range in the mid -twenties of the last century, but regardless of that, “Alien” feels strange and convincing in its design all the time. Even Xenomorph itself embodies the flexibility of the aesthetics of this movie. Foreign design for HR GEIGER He does not feel the facility at the lowest level, and it is not only a testimony to the vital mechanical visions of the artist but also the Ridley Scott movie as a whole. To say that the film holds visually, then, is to do so.

There is also the fact that, besides being an incredibly effective space and ancient space film with a wonderful foreign opponent, this movie feels that all its tires are full of meaning. The film appears obsessed with the concept of birth and distort the audience’s prior concepts about reproduction. The Stasis Nostromo crew wakes up in a sterile but warm glow, but this soon contradicts the horrific Bustter scene – which, along with being shocking just as I heard, feels more anxious on the path in which this opening snapshot of the crew in the relative calm. The film feels radical and sabotage, as if Scott was really trying to get rid of everyone of self -consent. For me, it is amazing how these topics are echoed until today and may be more relevant We are moving towards the future of garbage, artificial intelligence, which was described by the likes of Joe Rousseau.

It is somewhat difficult to know exactly what societal fears that Scott used to use here were without a complete understanding of the cultural climate of 1979, but I have to think that the homosexual in which society was changing and technology that was still prosperous, or the information that everyone felt on the edge because it stumbled in the eighties of the last century with everything still in cultural expression. In fact, the opening snapshots of the ship wandering in life in different ways, with cathode ray screens that give up vision and panic the text that seems to write itself, gives a sense of a post -biological world that was not only alive, but the lines between human bodies and technology are not clear in a horrific way. This particular concept, of course, is later explored with vivid and annoying details when Ian Holm’s ashes are detected in any unconfirmed conditions for the Android that we do not see in all their strange glory. But again, the aspects of the horror of the body like everything else serve an objective purpose. The image of the non -embodied head that speaks to the crew members not only stands out because it is strange, but because it feels as if it was a warning of an unrestricted expansion of technology and its final domination of the human body. When watching this play, I am surprised by everything closely related to anxiety in 2025.

Even the small details apparently for “alien” with the objective resonance, and I admired the extent of its clarity. Take the way the movie title appears on the screen during the opening sequence. We see letters appear from a row of simple white signs that, at first, lined up the top of the frame. Since the actual credits are played in the lower center, it is not immediately clear what these mysterious lines are supposed to represent. It is only when more letters fade out that we are starting to know what we are looking for.

After I watched the entire movie, I can now see the genius of this simple stylistic option, because it reflects the way the Nostromo crew becomes increasingly familiar with the foreign threat on their ship-a threat, like the five letters of the movie title, appears slowly from the shade until it is finally revealed during the climatic battle between the pyramid. shuttle. It also represents that the creeping sense of cosmic horror is essential to “strange”, and hiding the true appearance of the thing in a way that makes it unknown and worrying.

But before I understood all this, it looked like a great way to start a movie. This feeling “What am I looking?” It really directed me and reminded me of “Longlegs” marketingThe trailers were only prevented from the film’s conspiracy and came with fateful symbols sealed through the shots. He also surprised me that she looks incredibly modern. Simple thing like a obscene Kerning between letters has just sparked a more contemporary feeling and the film immediately removed from its origins in 1979, and put it in the immortal Netherworld. The fact that Ridley Scott has managed to maintain this feeling throughout the film is a testimony of his skill and a constant standing of the film as one of the best science fiction features ever. He shouldn’t have taken me as long as it was watching, but I was also happy because I did it – not only because it was a reminder of the ability of good films at a time when most of them were not simply, but also because “Alien” was saying today as it happened when it happened for the first time.
