  • Alien 1979 is a beautiful combination of sci-fi and horror which has rarely been replicated since. With Ridley Scott's direction, HR Giger's unique visual design, unsettling special effects, tight script and a unique exploration of both alien life and artificial intelligence it's no wonder it went to spawn multiple sequels, prequels and spin offs. Probably too many really. Thanks for checking out or Caravan Of Garbage review

    I think my favourite thing about Alien is the engineer ship and how it makes you think you're watching a different kind of movie.
    They find an alien space craft, that's this whole thing, its big, expansive and there's a dead alien pilot, and you think this is the alien in the title. Then the alien they fight is a completely different alien, I just think that's really neat and a cool subversion.

      The engineer ship makes me feel like there's a ton of crazy things happening out there, or have happened long ago, but we don't know about it. Space seems like this vast stretch of cold peacefulness but it isn't. It's like a higher level of subtle horror in the movie.

When Burke explains to Bishop the deal with Ripley's hatred of synthetics, he says "It was a Hyperdyne Systems Model 120-A/2", to which Bishop responds "The A-2's always were a bit twitchy". Also, in Alien: Isolation, every now and again, you can observe the Working Joe synthetics doing the same animation.

  • @ShinGallon
    @ShinGallon 2 місяці тому +30

    One of my top 10 favorite movies, ever. It's a masterpiece. I love so many things about this film: The performances are all sublime, the pacing and atmosphere (in the theatrical cut) are flawless, the production design and art direction are beyond reproach...everything about this film just *works*. The messaging about how the working class are exploited by corporations to the point where literally getting people killed is irrelevant as long as it generates potential profit, plus the fact that the script was specifically written to prey on men's fear of being violated, it's definitely got layers beyond "haunted house in space". I love how if you saw this in 1979 and thus had no idea Ripley survived how the movie tricks you into thinking she's gonna die next when she goes off alone to find the cat. I love how she pauses before saying Ash's name in her final log entry. I love the little song she's singing to calm herself while waiting to pop the door at the end to blow the alien out. The weird liquid fuel thing happening with the engines in that shot. Everything. I love everything about this film.
    It also has cinema's most unsettling character death, poor Lambert. Because that's the platonic ideal of "let the viewer's imagination conjur the terrible things happening" just from the sounds because oh my god, the sounds in that scene haunt me.
    11/10
    Also the theatrical cut is objectively the superior version *because* you never see what happened to Dallas and sometimes less is more.

    • @im3phirebird81
      @im3phirebird81 2 місяці тому +1

      Completely agreed on all things except the eggs scene. I find it unsettling to think about something making you into something completely different. It makes you into what spawned your horror in the first place and as it seems in the movie it hurts like hell. I find it a bit disappointing nowadays that in the original Dallas just disappears after the Alien goes all "You found me! Want a hug?" on him.
      Did you know that the implication shot of Lambert's death was actually Brett's boots and trousers? You can see it in a different cut I believe, how the Alien carries Brett impaled by its tail up to the airshaft.

For this reason, Lynch refused to use Giger's designs for his Dune adaptation, even after Giger personally reached out to him with concepts/ideas. So there is some branch of the metaverse where Lynch and Gigerr collaborated on Dune. Lynch held a grudge even deep into the 90's, but eventually let it go. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, Lynch made several allusions to the situation during interviews over the years.

I think we realize that when people leave the movie industry (which happens a decent amount), they don't literally disappear. 😆
      Unfortunately, he died at the early age of 39. I'm glad the boys are giving him his proper credit, because people can't actually ever see his face in the movie. They just feel his presence.

So much so the visual effects team outsourced to California in order for the costume to not appear so reflective with the blue screen.
