Alien and Predator Movies as Reactionary Propaganda


Alien

Alien is a reaction against the anti-colonial independence movements from the 1950's, 60's, and 70's.

Colonializers travel to planet.

They are infected by a monster that had already infected a former colonial force.

It is unstoppable.

They must destroy it before it can make it back to the homeland.


Creature is Black

Filmed in 1979--at the end of the independence movement--Zimbawe was up to be independent in 1980.



Predator

Predator is a reaction against the left in Central and South America.

Predator has dreads.

Is not White.

Is the ultimate hunter--indigenous people were and are the best hunters in the world.

Operation Condor


1987
