Living Alien from “ Men in Black ” [Mizumaru Kawahara’s CINEMONOLOGUE Vol.25]

Timeless Alien

Alien living on Earth have a predetermined place to live, but if they leave that area without permission, MIB will naturally come. Regic leaves Manhattan with his wife, who is about to give birth, and is pursued by Agents K and J, but in the midst of this, his wife safely gives birth. The baby that popped out into J's hands was squid-shaped, with many tentacles growing out of its head, and the wet feeling on its surface made it seem like a living thing. It's also interesting that she has baby shema-like characteristics (especially her big eyes). MIB's Alien have a very biological feel to them.

Another unforgettable Alien is the tiny Archilian, who controls a human-like robot in his head. It appears from inside the head of Mr. Rosenberg, a jeweler who was killed by the villainous Alien, and Mr. Rosenberg's face that opens up is well done, and I was fascinated by the details of the cockpit and Archilian's expression inside. Put it away. It doesn't move vividly because it's about to die, but its weak, faint movements give it a sense of life. The unfocused eyes and slow movements of the puppet characters make it seem like they're actually dying, which reminds me of Yoda's death in Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi .

In my head, I thought that the cockpit was very detailed, and that the small Archilian made delicate movements, but in reality, not all scenes were at the actual size of the movie, and close-up scenes were shot. It seems that a human-sized Alkyrian was being moved inside a cockpit of that scale. Is that so? This is the first time I've looked closely at the cockpit when drawing a picture of it, and it's interesting to see that there are many pedals not only on the control stick but also at the feet. I wonder what kind of procedure they use to move humans smoothly...

Still, real people are amazing
