CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) blows the alien away and begins her journey back to civilization.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
"In space, no one can hear you scream." A close encounter of the third kind becomes a Jaws-style nightmare when an alien invades a spacecraft in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic. On the way home from a mission for the Company, the Nostromo's crew is woken up from hibernation by the ship's Mother computer to answer a distress signal from a nearby planet. Capt. Dallas's (Tom Skerritt) rescue team discovers a bizarre pod field, but things get even stranger when a face-hugging creature bursts out of a pod and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Over the objections of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), science officer Ash (Ian Holm) lets Kane back on the ship. The acid-blooded incubus detaches itself from an apparently recovered Kane, but an alien erupts from Kane's stomach and escapes. The alien starts stalking the humans, pitting Dallas and his crew (and cat) against a malevolent killing machine that also has a protector in the nefarious Company.

Her fear is what makes her strong in my opinion. I liked that she wasn't invincible, she was actually frightened.

@spiderleenie Год назад

Agreed. Film writers today want to keep creating “strong female characters” without the understanding of what makes them strong and characters you want to root for. Ellen Ripley is one of the greatest film protagonists of all time because she acts like a real human with real emotions. She’s terrified of the situations she’s been forced into, but she still faces these fears head on. These are admirable and relatable characteristics that anyone can relate to regardless of gender and that’s why she’s so beloved. “Characters” like Rey or Captain Marvel are a joke in comparison to the strong female characters I grew up watching!

Ripley is one of the calmest, intelligent, and bravest protagonist in cinema history. No ego, just demanded all follow the rules. protocol of their mission. The cat kept her calm, the cat's instincts became hers. The cat was her last and only link to the world she knew and needed to protect. His life , staying alive and safe, was her mission. Aliens, the little girl, she does the same. Keeping that child alive, shielding her from watching the colonist die, she's a mother. She admired and praised her for staying alive. Truly one of the best films that show this bond

Those people say that James Cameron is better than Ridley Scott... I think otherwise. Even if James cameron has a very financially successful filmography, the genres of his films aren't that diverse. James Cameron made: -Terminator(1984)-Science fiction Horror Action -Aliens(1986)-Science fiction-Horror -Abyss(1989)-Science fiction-adventure -Terminator 2(1991)-Sci fic Action -True lies(1993)-Action -Titanic(1997)-Historical Disaster film -Avatar(2009)-Science Fiction James cameron is very good at direction Sci-fi, action, horror and historical disaster films Ridley Scott although not being always successful tried more variety of genres than James Cameron -Alien,Blade runner,Prometheus, martian:Science fiction -Gladiator: Roman Epic -Kingdom of Heaven: Medieval War Epic -Matchstick Man:Crime Black Comedy -Thelma and Louise:Road movie -Black Hawk Down:War film -American Gangster: Gangster crime film -Black Rain: Neo-noir His filmography covers from Science fiction,Historical Epic,War film,Comedy to Gangster film. He tried more variety of genres than James Cameron and came up with masterpieces for each of these genres.

Psychopath 13 It's because it wasn't conscious or preconceived. Her character was the smartest, most level-headed and resourceful of all the characters.

@LUCKO2022 7 лет назад

No, that is not true. That is what Ridley wanted to do but then Fox threatened to fire him if he did that. The original ending for the film was the Alien dies on the Nostromo when it blows up with Ripley getting away on the Narcissus. Ridley felt that the movie needed the last scene so he managed to get Fox to give him the additional funding to make the current ending of the film but with the 1 stipulation that the Alien DOES NOT WIN in the end.

@OpenMawProductions 5 лет назад

It's really ridiculous to say "original" ending. The O'bannon script had the beast blow up on the Nostromo. Ridley's extended ending with the shuttle was very fly-by-wire depending on what accounts you read. Ridley storyboarded an ending where Ripley and The Alien were sucked out of the shuttle (Ripley tethered to it.) And she would use one of the laser guns that we see earlier in the film .This was reduced and simplified to the filming version where she uses a harpoon gun to get the Alien off the ship.

Fun Fact: In the 2003 special edition interview for Alien, Ridley revealed that Ripley initially was supposed to die towards the end after harpooning the Alien (to no avail as it proceeded to kill her). After which, the Xenomorph would make it’s way into the cockpit of the shuttle, contact the station, and mimic Dallas’s voice to set up coordinates to earth. However, the executives at Fox threaten to fire Ridley if he didn’t change the ending as they believed it would’ve of affected Sigourney Weaver’s (the actress who played Ripley) chances of becoming a star (with them quoting that it was the “worst idea they ever heard”). Thus, Ripley was spared and later appeared in the following sequels.

Well, they weren't wrong. The alien being able to talk after nothing to set up such abilities and that level of abilities? Sounds stupid.

0:51 As great as the rest of the film is, this one single shot just...kind of seems so awful it's hilarious, and the way the Alien bumps into the ship with a dull thud makes it all the funnier. 😂

It's the most clunky visuals-wise, and it's a shame, because they otherwise do such a great job.

@papuateam7898 5 лет назад

i totally agree, the rest of the film is like 20/10 but this falls so egregiously flat, monster falls downwards into space out of a cheap looking scale model then bounces around, cheap star background with bad depth

The Alien is described as a perfect specimen of survival. Ash even acknowledges its “purity” for it. What’s interesting is we watched a whole movie of a character do everything she could to survive as well. Would Ash admire Ripley for this same quality?

@MaskedRiderChris Год назад

The thing I like most here is that Ripley is clearly determined to do what she's gotta do, but she's still scared stiff. She's clearly overcoming her fear of the Alien and Sigourney Weaver's acting was superb, here. If "Alien" had been made in this era, the woman would be the bestest ever and would finish off the Alien without batting an eye, and the scene would be unfulfilling, ultimately. It's Ripley's conquering her fear and still being able to launch the Alien into space that makes this really work.

@artygunnar 8 лет назад

Its several things, the ease of abusing a computer to put together some graphics is much easier than getting a talented artist to create a prop. Then they arent given enough time to make a good end product, if you use cgi to lightly season/salt something as opposed to using it as the main course then things would be much better

@shugo541 8 лет назад

+Arthur Yagami This more than anything, i'm actually currently writing my dissertation and it covers the "evolution of sound design within science fiction". It's due to human perception. Notice how a lot of Ben Burtts sound design "feels" right, it's due to working with pre-existing audio and modulating it to get the desired sound as opposed to synthesis. It's the same with visuals, everything in the old trilogy looks better than the phantom menace despite the phantom menace being newer. It's the same with recording a guitar straight into a simulated amplifier as opposed to a real one. It can sound identical but it's the minor inconsistencies and variations along with the spacial sound of something that actually exists that makes it sound real. So yeah, that's a sort of explanation into why CGI doesn't always look good compared to props. Films that digitally add muzzleflash and blood sprays are the worst.

@violenceisbad6705 8 лет назад

+shugo541 Cg doesn't look as good as props right now, but it depicts the movement of the aliens as much less humanoid.

Turns out after nearly 50 -60 years Big Chap survived and was responsible for the events of the newest movie Alien Romulus hell he was recovered during the films opening went on a rampage through the station before being killed for good but severing as a overarching antagonist for Romulus and having many cloned children from his Dna thanks to Wyland yutani being Wyland Yutani and even a Human/Xeno Son or GrandSon in the Newborn 2.0

Fascinated by the idea of the 'frontier' in the Alien universe. The fact that Thadus, which the Nostromo departed from prior to the events of this movie, was in a highly populated and surveyed area of space, but then there's this gulf between Thadus and Earth/Sol that ships pass through, as the Nostromo did, that remains mostly unexplored.
