Extra-terrestrial
life has fascinated people for millennia and has given rise to various forms of
pop culture about humans having first contact with alien beings. Some movies,
like Alien
Abduction, boast various degrees of entertainment value. Many people have
also come out of the woodwork claiming that aliens actually kidnapped them and
performed various medical experiments. Still, it leaves you to ask “why do
people love watching movies about aliens?”
Curiosity Killed The Cat?
Alien
movies tickle curiosity among people who believe there’s life out there in the
cosmos, especially when the production design is detailed enough to show
viewers an alien race’s home world and their way of life. A case in point will
be Star Wars: A New Hope, which
showed scenes of the desert planet of Tatooine and the Death Star. Some young
children who watched the movie even wrote fan letters to some of the
characters.
Acceptance
There
are movies about aliens living on Earth who look human but possess powers that
if unleashed, can make them a target of human resentment. Some experts see it
as a study on accepting people of other backgrounds. Certain movies try to see
human life from the alien’s point of view.
In
the end, movies about extra-terrestrials are meant to excite people in the hopes
that one day, perhaps beings from an advanced civilization will come in peace.
