"If we break quarantine, we can all die." Ripley
My favorite thing about this film is Ripley. She is brilliant. She is practical and resourceful. I'm not sure if I love or hate the fact that the character was written as a male. I don't like the assumption by the writers that the main level-headed *spoiler* lone-survivor has to be a male. I love the fact that they saw that it could be played just as effectively, if not more so, by a woman. That being said, this film is cute. I'm sure it was ground-breaking when it came out. Less predictable, wonderful imagery, etc. The main reason for my critique of the film isn't the film itself, but when I saw it and the generation that I grew up in. I can see a well-done film, especially with the resources available at the time. I think that a more modernized version with a more intricate plot would be a bit more my speed.
