The world is much easier to understand when I compare it to Science Fiction
Lately I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping. I can blame the war, the stress, and everything, but I choose to deal with it in a better way:
Science Fiction
Because most of the times I sadly can't concentrate on something more productive, sometimes not even trun on a gaming console, I try to get the most of the time and my little attention
so I try to watch all the Science Fiction classics our beautiful world can offer
I'll soon write a post why I'm so into Sci-fi, but I also love psychological horror so Alien was a great choice
And it blew my mind
But I don't want to talk about the amazing atmosphere, soundtrack, plot and vision, you know that already
Alien touched me because It reminded me of my of my past and made me think about my present
[spoilers for a 47 years old movie here]
Most of the plot revolves around chain of command, protocol and rules
When the ship mainframe - "Mother" woke the crew up and sent them to a random planet to answer a distress signal- that was the protocol, everything was fine
BUT when Ash, our "frindly" spaceship android decided to break quarentine and let a badass alien inside
That was putting Personality before Principles
I've done it for most of my life.
I've let my impulses and what I thought was proper feelings control me
When personality if before principles there is no order, there is no future- I was letting an alien, a parasitic disease eat through me
I thought that's the way of living and didn't knew any better
Used people, used drugs, did anything to run away from myself and life
My life, like the Nosterdamus crew- was expandable, to get my desires satisfied
Everyday was a fight with my own alien, my own parasite
And one of my main ways to not even face it now is to keep my Principles before my Personality
