I must say 2 of the following concepts are just not frickin’ done well enough for my liking in movies or television
I will start off with all alien movies fail, hell plenty I enjoy, Independence Day, Mars Attacks, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cocoon, Men In Black (great totally singing that song forever now!) and of course Star Wars & Star Trek
District 9 came closer to doing it right, but also failed
I should have originally wrote this when the idea popped into my head, b/c now I can not state why they fail, but OMG do they ever fail
Steven Hawking said a few things recently that really got my mind going on this subject matter. What got it going even more than that was the people who replied to what he said.
But on an intellectual level and certainly on a psychology level, we didn’t explain shit well enough, demonstrate it in the movies/tv or just explore other scenarios instead of WE MUST DESTROY ALL!
(again Distract 9 did really well IMO of changing shit up a lot)
and of course the aliens in Star Wars and Star Trek do not wish to destroy all things/humans.
IDK where I am going with this, and I wish I did, b/c at the time it came into my head, it was pure gold, but that was last night, and I was so dead (tired) I literally couldn’t move.
anyway
my 2nd topic is people with special abilities, let’s say can sense/see/tell the future (if only for certain very random sporadic things and not very far into it either) but that is all besides the point, haha
but yea so showing a person with a special ability, and no-one really ever examined deep enough in movies/television how they would be treated socially
(more than welcome to give recommendations of movies/tv shows where you think they have in the comments section, and DON’T SAY HEROES! b/c that is B/S answer)
I just mean no-one explores deep enough in depth (repetitive statement) how everyone would feel around said person and what they would think. And I want other ideas besides OK lock this freak up too.
IDK both these things I am really umm longing for better material
