Spielberg's favorite original comics

" Men in Black in Men in Black : International " is currently in theaters and is the fourth film in the series. It has already been 22 years since the first film was released, and it is loved by fans as a long-running series. In this article, I would like to look back at the memorable first film `` Men in Black'' and explore its appeal.

First, let's review. "Men in Black", commonly known as MIB, are top secret agents who are often told in urban legends, such as kidnapping people who have witnessed UFOs in order to cover up the situation. It refers to a mysterious being whose true identity is never revealed. ``THE MEN IN BLACK'' by Lowell Cunningham, a comic artist who focused on this urban legend, was published in 1990 and became a popular manga due to its comical science fiction interpretation. Steven Spielberg liked it and acquired the rights to make it into a movie. His own production company, Amblin, began working on the film, and plans began to move forward.

“Men in Black” trailer

A story about the efforts of agents of the U.S. government's top-secret agency ``MIB,'' which manages the stay of Alien who come to Earth and cracks down on their crimes. Barry Sonnenfeld, who gained recognition with the Big hit `` The Addams Family '' (1991) and was selected as director, was greatly fascinated by this script. However, one thing that stuck with me was that most of the scenes are set in rural towns, including Kansas. If Alien were to live blended into human society, wouldn't it be more natural for them to live in a big city where they don't stand out no matter what they do?Therefore, the main setting was changed from a rural town to the big city of New York.
