This is James Cameron! A glimpse of Cameron's world seen in "Aliens"

A glimpse of Cameron's world

In the second half of the movie, the battle with the Alien Heat up at an accelerated pace, and James Horner's famous song " Bishop's Countdown " (this song would later be used in the trailers of many science fiction and action movies) is played. Around this time, the excitement for the movie reaches its peak. It's Cameron's specialty, cinematic catharsis, and builds up towards the second half. The movie reaches its climax when the famous Brad Fiedel song `` Tanker Chase '' starts playing, perhaps in the latter half of the movie, like the chase scene with the tanker truck in `` Terminator 2: Judgment Day' ' (1991). . (Incidentally, this style of peaking seems to have been inherited by Neill Blomkamp, ​​who worked on films such as `` District 9 '' (2009).)

Looking at it in this way, we can see many glimpses of Cameron's subsequent worldview in Aliens. The original production, art, design, settings, etc., are packed into Aliens.

For example, you can see glimpses of this in the title sequence. In Aliens, what appears to be blue metal slits gradually change into the word "ALIENS." This looks like the metal slit in the front of a large truck that appears from the top and bottom of the screen after the title of ``Terminator 2: Judgment Day.'' Also, in the complete version of Aliens, there is a scene of colonists on planet Lv-426 before being attacked by Alien, but this is the same as the depiction of RDA Corporation colonizing the planet Avatar. , the impression is exactly the same. From the layout of the base, the location of windows and monitors, the exterior of the base, and the design of the transport vehicles, it looks like the Lv-426 base has been updated directly to Pandora's base.

Also included in the complete version is the monitor projected onto the wall of the hospital where Ripley is hospitalized at the beginning, and the wall of main character Jake Sully's room on Earth in Avatar(Extended Edition). There seem to be quite a few commonalities in Cameron's depictions of the future, such as monitors.

There are also many similarities between ``Aliens'' and ``Avatar'' in the setting and depiction of characters, such as members of the Marine Corps and people in charge of large corporations. However, while Burg of Yutani Corporation who appears in "Aliens" is a terrible villain who is willing to kill to bring back Alien, Parker of RDA Corporation who appears in "Avatar" Although he takes the stance of prioritizing the company's profits, he is portrayed as a small villain who is incapable of going out of control and committing acts of murder, and it seems that his portrayal has changed to a more realistic and realistic one.
