Darker Side of Procreation

Another great posting from AVP Galaxy regarding the sexual themes in ALIEN: "...actually they have done just that thing several times. not to mention the writer of the story has said...to paraphrase because im too lazy after lunch to copy paste the exact quote "this is a film about interspecies rape and taps into the male's fear of being orally raped" dan o bannon also recommended giger for the art direction exactly for that reason. to say that there is nothing backing up my claim is to deny pretty much the entire film. lol for a few things just off the bat the ship is called "mother" and the smaller ship detaches from the "umbilicus" thats not counting the womb-like space jockey chamber and round womb-like area with an almost identical single person room in the "mother" console room. then theres the inside of the ship being womb-like with soft flesh tones and no sharp edges and a nice humming sound as opposed to the ship's innards which were cold, sharp and filled with threatening sounds. then theres the facehugger, a play on a doctor's hands grabbing a baby's head as it leaves a womb, another birth trauma point. the alien's feminine body and penile head are so obvious they dont even need mentioning... when ash tries to mimic the facehugger by shoving a magazine down ripley's throat she grabs at something that mimics one of those toy-dangly-things in a crib. the magazine is also a porno. when the crew awaken from a womb-like room they are all wearing diapers... the vaginal entrances to the derelict ship... the xenomorph makes sounds that are eerily similar to a baby crying. the entire film was meant to be cerebral and get in people's heads. no good director or producer explains every detail of their film, any successful work of art leaves itself intentionally vague to allow people to color in the lines of how they see it, but these are all things that work in tandem regardless of interpretation. im actually getting bored of typing but the list goes on and on. i agree that alot of things can be speculated on as far as the film goes, which is why i enjoy it but thats all me just stating the obvious sets and motif of the film. theres more going on as far as a religious undertone but im thats quite possibly just a coincidence and im still 'collating' about my thoughts on it. the alien was the son of the cain, which was a name chosen specifically, as well as the fact that cain was played by a man best known for his role as a drag queen in a film that was recently released before alien. also an intentional move by the director to tap into the sexual designs of the homosexual alien rape thing going on. i could go on but im pretty sure its pointless... it certainly was not a by the numbers haunted house space film although it does have the appearance of one. sorry for being sarcastic, i write long winded things and then get "NUH-UH" as a reply and i dont even see the point in a response at all. you have my attention, feel free to do something interesting with it. im all eyes. haha..."
