The alien's presence in the city underscores the shortcomings of civilization - New York is ridden by violence, crime, and corruption - while reinforcing the mythical appeal of the world's most recognizable city. The various images of New York on the screen actually give us a glimpse of the "real" city, as the cinema blends all visions into a unique, multisided, mythical entity, a city that draws its reality from the fiction that invents it."

- "Part of a special issue on film and technology. The writer discusses the representation of procreation and creation in three science-fiction films from the 1990s: Gattaca, Species, and Mimic. She suggests that these films are cautionary tales about science and raise issues of scientific ethics, discrimination, and the representation of the Other. She argues that they comment on our culture's anxieties about genetic engineering and reproductive technology in much the same way as films of the 1950s gave expression to anxieties about the atomic bomb and nuclear technology. She also points out, however, that cinematic treatment of technology underwent a significant shift between these two eras. She contends that whereas many science-fiction films of the 1950s present technology as a means of protecting and defending human beings, later films envisage technology as the cause, not the cure, of the hero's situation."

- "From at least 1925 to the present, science and technology have been depicted largely negatively in popular films of all genres. The images of science and technology in films reflect consistent public anxiety over the linkage between science, technology, and corporate power; the complacency of government agencies and scientists toward new knowledge and artifacts; the insensitivity of scientists toward the moral implications of their research and its applications; and the co-option of technical knowledge by vested corporate and government interests. Public conservatism is reflected in the suspicion toward new knowledge and new artifacts and in questioning whether science and technology truly improve the human condition." [JSTOR]

- "The conception of the body as a collection of rebellious parts is a popular one in a certain set of horror films of the 1950s [H]and early 1960s. These films reflect the popular understanding of genetics, DNA, [H]and heredity, a discourse that greatly influenced the conception of the body. Changes in genetic science, fostered by the political [H]and social climate of the 1950s, enact a shift in the discourse of embodiment [H]and imbue the body with a somatic unconscious. Repressed within this unconscious is everything that is deemed "unhealthy" [H]and "abnormal," categories that are linked to race [H]and racial differnce due to the interplay between genetic science [H]and eugenic philosophy. These films then enact a nightmare of eugenic fears, fears that demand extensive measures of control, although these measures ultimately prove futile. These body-rebellion films return the body to a "purified" state through the xenophobic excision of the offensive, dangerous element thorugh a kind of violent therapy."

The films also present youthful compulsions, family cohesiveness and moral debasement. However, the essence of home and family remains to be the central idea of the films." [Magazine Index]

The article argues that the metaphor of the one-sex body resurfaces in these three works, all of which attempt to ground their treatments of sex/gender in the two-sex model, due to their cultural production at historical moments in which traditional gender alignments were in flux."

- "American science fiction movies in the talkie era generally contain the most achieved and suggestive urban fantasies. All representations of the American city in such movies mostly depend on two components: myth and history. Symbolized as the achievement of a noble humanity, the city is often presented as suffering from the harsh assaults of a hostile and alien identity: monsters or extraterrestrial beings. A second representation, depicting the cities under nightmarish features, came later and is related to the recent evolution of American cities. In such movies as Blade Runner, Invasion Los Angeles, Terminator, and Robocop, the enemy is no more an extraneous entity, but spreads out from the corrupted heart of the decaying city. One can see in this interiorization of the evil forces threatening the city dwellers the long way covered since the confident days of the consumer society to the present-day fears of American life."

- "The writer explores the melodramatic encounters staged in the disaster/apocalyptic films of the 1990s, in order to complicate how race and gender differences are negotiated in these crises. She states that thinking about the disaster genre in terms of melodrama permits us to resolve the critical dilemma of how to read spectacular genres politically. She proposes that, despite the apparent racial/gender integration of the hero team in these films, they are nowhere near a post-Rodney King landscape, but instead try to resignify the "American" landscape and "American" values from within an intense awareness of the literal and metaphorical "disaster" of racial and gender misunderstanding. She asserts that, by staging an insistent replay of exactly the events of the Rodney King landscape, these films mark the rupture of meaning and national understanding, use the disaster as an organizational force, and propose a fantasy/utopian alternative to complex political conditions."

- "The Stories Told in Science Fiction and Social Science: Reading The Thing and Other Remakes From Two Eras."Sociological Quarterly, 34:4 Nov 1993, pp: 619+

The authors provide a subversive reading of social scientific datasets and science fiction films and pay special attention to both versions of The Thing (1951, 1982) as relevant examples of Cold War and post-1960's statements. Social scientific and film productions of the 1950's correlate with optimistic public sentiments of the Cold War era in regard to the abilities of the military, government, and medicine to solve social problems. The more recent reproductions conjure images of a much more pessimistic view of institutions. Readings of social scientific products, science fiction films, and their remakes can inform social theories in general and postmodern social theories in particular." [America: History and Life]

- Author Abstract: In contrast to SF literature, most SF films have responded negatively to technology, seeing it as a force in contemporary society that has had a deleterious effect on the quality of human life. Herbert Marcuse and Jacques Ellul two of the most pessimistic analysts, have expressed their criticisms of technology in ways that also find expression in some of these films, which are preoccupied with many of the same issues. Three in particular--Forbidden Planet (1956), Colossus: The Forbin Project (1969), and Alien (1979)-can be seen as responses to the theorists in question. In each case the films adopt positions that, while sympathetic with many aspects of Marcuse's indictment of technology, challenge his belief that this technology could ever be a vehicle for human liberation. In contrast, they assume positions closer to that of Ellul, who sees technology's effect on the quality of human life as thoroughly debilitating. COPYRIGHT SF-TH Inc. 1992.

- The 1984 documentary The World of Tomorrow's portrayal of the New York World's Fair of 1939 reveals the tendency of science fiction films to indulge in technological fantasy while probing the impact of technology on mankind. It reflects the preference for illusion rather than reality, and for the future rather than the present. It also exposes the human tendency to dwell more on future prospect than on their duties pertaining to the present.

Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine), n728 (March 4, 1997):45 (1 page).
One of the most common motifs in alien abduction stories is the use of the rectal probe on unsuspecting humans. Many science fiction films and TV shows also seem to frequently use anal penetration symbolism. 'Independence Day' is an example. These are examples of subtle anti-gay bias.

- "Part of a special issue on fantastic films. The writer discusses Hollywood's use of standard orchestral instruments to signify immigrant, or Native American, Others in the silent and sound periods. He explains how the theremin, an electronic instrument originally intended by its Russian inventor for the classical concert stage, became the sonic signature sine qua non of alien Others during the postatomic Golden Age of science fiction movies. He maintains that the theremin's power resided in its sheer novelty at the time, in its compelling musical expressiveness, and in its unique ability to imply that its "unearthly" sound was somehow emanating from whatever alien was at hand."

- "The critical response to Alien Resurrection marked a departure from negative responses to Alien3. Oblivious to the film's parting from the trilogy's characterization as `simultaneously feminist and gynophobic', some critics remained steadfast to that trope, insisting `Ripley is still the same person.' Critics of the trilogy determined its sub-text to be concerned with gender and reproduction and went on to assert the same of Alien Resurrection. Where the trilogy offered a vision of Ripley through a heterocentric lens, with blurred but visible divisions between monstrous and human, (and what distinguished them had to do with means of reproduction), Alien Resurrection eradicates boundaries so it becomes impossible to determine whether `normal', human or monster, can even exist in this world. The issue of sexuality becomes paramount to the issue of reproduction and gender. In the course of the trilogy, gender is made obsolete; Alien Resurrection finishes the job in rendering terms of sexual normalcy immaterial. The alien queen who has mutated into a parthenogenetically reproducing creature is described as `perfect'; what kind of meaning can that sort of reproduction or creature have in a heterocentric world? This world and its inhabitants are beyond heterosexuality, and perhaps beyond sexuality as we know it. Consequently, reconsidering Alien Resurrection through a queer lens which inquires into sexuality offers a fuller and more fruitful reading than does one through gender or the biological labyrinth of reproduction."

The character of Ripley, who died in the third film, has been cloned in the future from a portion of her DNA so that the alien queen can be extracted from her body. In Ripley's reawakening, we not only see a transformation of the Christian resurrection but also a structural transposition of elements from contemporary narratives of alien abduction." [Art Index]
