    Fun fact: There’s a constant low-toned heartbeat throughout the entire movie that speeds up or slows down depending on the scene that your brain can subconsciously pick up but you can’t hear it yourself. It’s a way to make you spooked subconsciously. Pretty brilliant.

    The pacing of Alien is great, nothing jumps out at you right away. The studio complained nothing happens for the first 45 minutes, but it’s great that you’re deep in the movie before something goes seriously wrong, then the next hour you’re terrified at what could go wrong next

    The great thing about alien is its ability to not need to show the Xenomoph ( Alien ) nearly at all. Your mind fills in the rest and keeps the threat alive. It's able to keep you locked in a state of suspense while constantly asking yourself what you would do! For an over fourty year old movie to be able to grip new viewers like it still does is a testament to its brilliance. You're in for a treat with number two!

    Always intresting when people watch the Directors Cut for their first viewing if they react to the Big Chap just hanging in the chains motionless at 37:29. With no music cue that "oh look something scary" a lot of people don't notice it or just as it hits them "Wait what is that???" it cuts away. I kinda understand why it was cut so you don't see it till it shows up behind Brett, but it's such a creepy shot that messed with your head.

      @norwegianblue2017 2 месяца назад +3

      There is some additional footage of Brett's encounter with the Xenomorph. It is actually quite a bit more graphic. But the part that gets me is it better shows the absolute state of terror that Brett is in. He tries to call out Parker's name, but it only comes out as gibberish, almost barking, because he is so scared. Although the Director cut is plenty good, it would have been nice to have included this. It's hard to find even on RUclips.

    I'm barely in here, but, I like your slight confusion over the hibernation pods. But, yeah, they go to sleep, the ship travels to it's destination, then it wakes them up when they're close. The Alien universe doesn't have Faster Than Light travel (AFAIK barring recent films) So, these minder leave Earth, go to sleep while their ship zooms along for YEARS, they do their mining and stuff, load up a whole boatload of ore, then head back to Earth asleep for another several years long journey.

  • @swordmonkey6635

    At the beginning when the ship set down on the planet, the surface was pretty rough with rock outcroppings. The stress on the ship's frame (probably a slight twisting because the landing gear weren't level on the surface) caused some alarms and systems to require repair.
    The movie gives you a slight clue to this by focusing on the landing and one of the gear treads angles sharply in a quick shot before they go interior shot to see everything going haywire.

    I love how well you caught details that take many a few views to see. There's a lot of wonderfully built setting and background which is shown, not told. One detail is that Ash was added to the crew at the last minute. As was that order Ripley found on Mother, the ship's computer. The time it's set in, by the by, is in 2122.
    Ripley ran back to stop the countdown because the alien was between her and the shuttle. That's why she was so cautious heading back towards it, and looks relieved (while super-stressed) when entering the shuttle.
    And as you figured out, the reason it wasn't still there is because it had hidden in the shuttle.
    And yes, that kind of undie outfit wasn't seen as that bad in the 70's. Different times. Sigourney was putting forth being nude in that scene, to emphasize her vulnerability. The outfit was the compromise. She didn't... dehair though, so that had to be done in post production. Which in the 70's meant manual airbrushing, frame by frame.
    The creature was designed by the Swiss artist H. R. Giger, who had some... interesting art designs. The actor inside it was some 208 cm tall, with very long legs. It became a truly iconic monster, which has influenced scifi and horror ever since the movie was released.
    Watching this in a dark theatre is... awesome. I have gone to several events where it has been shown. I love it so much. Usually the theatrical cut though, without the scene where Ripley finds Dallas and Brett cocooned towards the end.
    There was no sequel planned when this was created and filmed. Fox had little interest in one. When one finally was filmed... it was a smash hit.

    Most people believe that Parker is the Chief Engineer. He's actually the Engineer and the Chief Engineer would be his supervisor. That's Ripley. They report to her, she orders them around. Clearly her job is Chief Engineer. You see this when they give the damage report over the intercom after the crash, when she goes below to supervise them, when they are sitting around and talking and she complains that Parker's "staff" just follows him around saying "right", you see it when Dallas asks Ripley how the repairs are coming, and you see it when Ripley, Parker and Bret are searching for the Alien. Clearly she is directly over these two men. That makes her chief engineer. Not to take anything away from the character of Parker. Most people who serve on merchant or naval vessels will tell you the real engineer is the guy in the engine room and the so-called chief, is just a supervisor behind a desk. The chief engineer's position is on the bridge. They are in charge of the entire physical aspect of the ship and not just the engine.

      @@Lethgar_Smith Executive Officer is a standard job title in real life navies: they're known as the XO for short:
      "United States Navy and United States Coast Guard:
      The executive officer is the billet of the officer who is second-in-command. An XO is assigned to all ships, aviation squadrons, and shore units and installations, and is responsible to the captain for all ship's work, drills, exercises, personnel organization, and the policing and inspection of the ship. "
      From here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_officer
      However I did get it wrong with regard to Alien: on the Nostromo, Kane is the XO. Ripley is the "Warrant Officer". Parker is the Chief Engineer.

      Her rank is never given in the script. Nor is her specific job title. I am proposing a theory based on the evidence in the actual filmed screenplay.
      Nor is Lambert's, nor Kane's nor either Parker or Bret. One must surmise their roles from what they do and the dialogue. This is what we can surmise. Lambert is the navigator. "Lambert: Where's Earth? Kane: You should know" She later provides the calculation for the return to Earth.
      Kane sits next to her on the bridge and appears to be the pilot although it is not specifically mentioned. It can be surmised he is 2nd in command in reference to Ripley reminding Ash of the chain of command. Ash is directly referred to as the "Science Officer" His duties appear to include both medical doctor and monitoring scientific data collection and radar type systems on the bridge. We know who the Captain is obviously and Parker and Bret clearly work in the engineering section.

    OMG! I was born in '79 and only got to see Alien back in around 1994 - about 14. Having seen Space Balls previously I couldn't take the chestburster scene seriously, and yet not even ALIENS prepared me for the following deaths in the film - Lambert's last scream chills me to this day! I found it hard to get to sleep that night and...oh, dear, The Thing was on the following Saturday. Trust me, you need a frigging counselor to get you through that one!

    The explanation for Ash stopping Parker from stabbing the newborn alien, other than wanting to keep the alien safe, was to prevent its acid blood from eating through the ship's decks and potentially cause decompression or breaking some important cables/pipes. When they made the incision on the facehugger, they got lucky because no important circuits were destroyed.

    I watched the whole thing through squinted eyes and fingers in my ears because I was too petrified to reach for the remote to turn it off.
    It took me another 7 years before I could enter a dark room without reaching around for the light fully expecting to have my arm grabbed or see a Xenomorph standing in the doorway.
    I also had the opportunity to meet H. R. Giger later in life and was given a personal tour of his museum in Austria which really didn't help but learning his inspirations for his art work and getting to know him was truly an amazing experience

There are so many movies and shows that have copied it after that I feel the new generations do not fully understand the value and importance of this movie. Of course they aren’t shocked if they have seen tons of bad copies of this, but this one is the original, the OG!!!!!! Also, reminder this was all before CGI!! The construction, the artistry, the puppetry, the special effects team was superb and again, there was nothing like it prior. So it was amazing to experience at the time, very scary and thrilling! And finally Ripley… nothing like her prior, she was so impressive for a lot of women and men that saw this movie and she influenced a lot of how we saw women at the time, as a woman she is my all time favorite female lead!
