The Alienist

The Alien is a science fiction horror movie. Its setting in space and the presence of technology and artificial intelligence empathizes on its science fiction genre. Moreover, the presence of the Alien and the fact that it is a threat to human lives reflects it is also a horror film. The movie revolves around seven human beings that have the mission to return to earth from the space.

The topic of aliens is often a very controversial one to talk about. The aliens in THE FOURTH KIND represent many fears that we have has as humans such as the fear of feeling inferior. That is why many people don’t like to acknowledge that there could possibly be other intellectual species outside of earth, due to the fear of them feeling inferior to a more advanced life form. If aliens are anything like the human species then we should all be afraid, due to the fact that the human race killed most of the animal species and even kidnapped and enslaved other humans. If extraterrestrials ever came to our planet, their technology and intellect would be far more advanced than ours and that could possibly hurt humanity because they could have the power and technology to enslave us. They also represent how people would be willing to do wicked things like using science and technology for malevolent purposes. The aliens abuse of power in the film reflect how humans could possibly turn out if we obtained their technology. Humans could learn to one-day build rockets and spacecraft’s that can travel to other planets and their main goal would be to use these technologies to benefit ourselves. If we had the power to overtake another planet and inhabit it, we would not hesitate to do so and we are willing to do the unthinkable for power and advancement. Aliens also represent the fear of there being no god or religion because most religious people oppose science and credit god for

One of the main themes the author conveys is fear. In the teleplay, neighbors are afraid of each other because they don’t know who the aliens are and what they will do next. An example of fear is when Charlie shoots Pete Van Horn. Pete was walking back to Maple Street, and Charlie shot him, thinking Pete was the alien. “But.. I didn’t know he was… He comes walkin’ out of the darkness. How am I supposed to know he wasn’t a monster

Kristen D. Randle wrote, “What the mind believes the body will often make reality.” This shows that what you believe can often be true and can be made into real life. In the book “The Only Alien on the Planet” ,Ginny attempts to break into Smitty’s safe and emotionless world, but she realizes her efforts might be causing more harm than good. This can teach us a lesson that if someone uses violence against us , we should stop it and tell someone about is, because it could’ve hurt us.

After reading, The Only Alien on the Planet, my views have changed on people. I have realized that some friends, like Caulder and Ginny, in the book would be willing to do anything to help Smitty in his situation. They didn't give up on him even if he never talked to them, because they knew Smitty was acting like that for a reason. Another view of mine that has changed is on how people act to one another. It has taught me that just because a person acts a certain way to you, like Smitty not talking to anyone, can be much more serious than you think. It can be a small problem, such as a personal issue, or it can tie to a more broader problem like Smitty's, where he was threatened and controled by his older brother.

“Alien Notion” by Chip Rowe was featured in The Playboy Forum in February 2003. In this article Chip Rowe writes about the attempts of creationist to bring God into public schools. According to Chip Rowe, after the Supreme Court ruled that teaching biblical creationism in public school is a violation of church and state, creationist have been divided into two groups. One group called “young earthers” believe a literal interpretation of Genesis in the Bible, while the other group developed a new way to “sneak God into the classroom” by creating intelligent design or as Rowe describes it “creationism after a shower and a shave”. The creationist behind intelligent design avoid mention of Adam and Eve; instead they say any intelligent being could’ve designed it. He also states that religious right organizers utilized “grassroots lobbying efforts” that gave intelligent design “a legitimacy it didn’t deserve”.

In the movie, “A stranger among us”, it is vivid that there are three ethnic groups that are represented. The first group of people is the Jewish religious people who are from the Hasidic sub group of the Jewish religion. The second group of people represented in the movie are the mobsters who detective Eden refers to them as “scumbags”. The third group of people are the citizens of Brooklyn like detective Eden herself, her father, the boyfriend and other police men. All these groups play a significant role in the movie and thus are able to show is the diversity that exists in the movie. The movie is portrayed from various perspectives and this is because of the uniqueness of the groups represented in the movie. One of the main perspectives which the movie is portrayed is through detective Eden’s perspective, who observes the lives and the culture of the Jewish community. By virtual of the lack of understanding of the Jewish culture that we are able to learn how the Jews live and also get to know more about their culture. The other perspective in which the movie is presented is through the Jews, which enables us to see the ways of life in their community, in a completely different perspective.

The first Alien movie is one of my favors whose sound evokes terror and suspense. The scene that used sounds build terror and suspense is very intense was when Captain Dallas was inside the cramped air-duct. The other members were tracking the Alien on a computer and communicating it to Dallas. The computer was making clicking sound to show were it was located and then all the sudden the tracking sound stops and you have stone cold silent. This silence creates an eerie vacuum that sense of something impending is about to bust. Then all the sudden the clicking sound started up again and begins to get louder and louder and is moving towards Dallas. Then silent, and you then see Dallas gets out of air duct, turn and is face to face with the Alien.

When the Czar was overthrown, many people think that the entire family was killed, others think that Anastasia, the daughter of the Czar, escaped. When a girl who looked, and acted like Anastasia was found in a river, many people believed that it was her, others believed she was a Polish factory worker named Anna Anderson. Anna Anderson and Anastasia are the same person because evidence proves that only nine of the eleven bodies were found in the grave, many of her close friends and family believe that it was her, and Anastasia and Anna’s ears match.

Ridley Scott and Olivia Butler both took the topic of aliens and made it their own. While they have different story lines, there are still distinct similarities, but many differences as well. Ridley Scott took the idea of aliens and with that he created the movie Alien. In this movie, the humans are awakened from their sleep capsules to explore a distress call from an alien vessel. An alien attacks one of the crewmembers and that is when the trouble begins. In Olivia Butler’s short story, “Bloodchild”, humans had to evacuate their home, Earth, and found refuge with the Tlics. The Tlics then use male humans to incubate and give birth to their young. The aliens from Alien from “Bloodchild” share a general objective of trying to maintain their race, but they have a great deal of diversity at the same time. There are similarities that are seen in the lifespan of men, the process of impregnating the man, and the sense of sexuality throughout the film and short story. The distinction is most obvious when it comes to their characteristics, their mannerisms and their values. More specifically, the portrayal of the two different aliens the film and short story, the relationships between humans and aliens and the perspective of the humans on the incubation of the young.

Extraterrestrial life has been a big topic for Americans since day one. According to author Lee Speigel there is an estimation of 48 percent of Americans throughout the nation that believe in life on other planets while only 35 percent reject the idea. Life on other planets exists. According to the article “Aliens among Us” by Paul, David extraterrestrial evidence has already been discovered such as different types of bacteria and even water. The article “Aliens among Us” is a credible source because it has many explanations and possibilities on how life on other planets can easily be real. Extraterrestrial life can be many things such as plants or living bacteria. Astronomers have proven that there is water in other planets such as Mars. Water contains different types of bacteria and cells, water in other planets can be one of our best piece of evidence that we can prove that there is life on other planets. There has been UFO’s crashes that have been recorded such as in Roswell, New Mexico 1947 but the government took all the evidence and it’s probably in Area 51. Although there is no hard evidence that proves aliens are real, NASA has announced that they will be able to find living creatures by the year 2025.

Alien abduction stories have always held a strong interest among people all over the world, captivating our attention and curiosity as they propose yet another unsolved mystery of gigantic proportions and unthinkable consequences for humanity to contemplate. More so in modern times, and especially in the western world, where the media is a more significant part of culture, many science fiction novelists and screen writers brought out the issue to the public in the form of entertainment. This, due its widespread appeal, gave these stories a certain level of credulity among the masses, and sparked curiosity for closer investigation.

Albert Camus creates a series of characters in The Stranger whose personality traits and motivations mirror those that are overlooked by the average man. Camus develops various characters and scenarios that are considered rude and unpleasant, but because it has become common, society accepts it as norms. Camus incorporates atrocious personality traits of the characters, variety, consistency, and everyone’s fate through the creation of the characters.

Since the 1960’s, development of alien research has grown with the observed growth in extraterrestrial beliefs, “which has been accompanied by an increase in reported accounts of UFO and alien-related experiences” (Dagnall, Drinkwater, Parker, 700). This development has led to the categorizing of subjects by intelligent levels, personality traits, mental health, and many others, all in an effort to map the psyche of the paranormal believer, and to investigate the science behind these beliefs. Eye witnesses of alien abductions frequently describe their experience as being taken from bed by unworldly creatures, and brought on board their flying spacecraft to be exposed to all kinds of experimentation. Similar testimonies have been frequently
