In space, no one can hear you scream.
A famous quote from the movie series: Alien. A movie that made the audience think twice about life outside our planet. While the film is a mix between action and horror it has a lot of psychoanalysis meaning behind it. as said in the link above many do not see the deeper meaning in the movie Alien 3. It should be analyzed, so the audience can see a hole new perspective of their favorite movie(s).
Okay, first off I have never seen any of the Alien movies (maybe when I was a 4 but I was probably too scared to see it.) but I know of it. The lead hero is played by Sigourney Weaver, who is just one the strong female leads in James Cameron's films. (Avatar, Terminator, Abyss, Titanic) It seems the Psychoanalysis of the movie is the role Weaver plays. She is a strong women who not only tries to survive the Alien menace but fights it as well. One thing I have notice is that she is in all three movies, meaning she has survived all adventures. She has become one of the few strong females who can take over and kick-ass in the 80s-90s. During that time cinema had heroes like the Terminator, Bruce Willis, and other action packed macho like heroes.
The ending result is that women too can defeat a ancient race of killing aliens. The deal is that the main character is a strong willed person who not only fought against the odds but lived through a trilogy.
