Are we Being warned through V and all these other Alien Movies?, page 1

I have seen more and more of these "are we be warned through _______" and what could be summed up as V= Disclosure now threads for a while now, and none have been interesting or thoughtful. So lets see if we could look into the past 100+ years of warnings.
1902- Le Voyage dans la Lune ( a trip to the moon)

A group of astronomers go to the moon and pick a fight with a bunch of insect like aliens living on the moon only to find out that the aliens go boom when struck with a blow. Still, for reasons unknown the astronomers are scared and run away.

1938- Mars Attacks the World
Alein invasion in 1938, yeah it is 2009 still no signs of alien invasion and still no diclosure

1951-The Man from Planet X
1953-The War of the Worlds
1956-Invasion of the Body Snatchers
1959-Invisible Invaders
1959- Twilight Zone
1963-The Day Mars Invaded Earth
1963-The outer limits
1966-Zontar: The Thing from Venus
1974-Invasion from Inner Earth
1983-V
And on and on... So how is it that litterally we have had these sci-fi movies for over 100 years and people still think that the V show is a warning or that the fourth kind and district 9 are warnings??? Even if they are warnings, it is a broken record that has been playing for 100 years and it is time to stop taking it serriously.
V-2009 no aliens no disclosure

Excuse you, I do and it's annoying when people post a thread similar to someone else's thread. The search exist for a reason, but there is no real reason to have it, if most people don't use it.

Im not sure. But i think whoever made the original V was warning us about David icke

I usually agree with Zaiger but I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one.

Movies and TV are first and foremost about entertainment, no question about that. So if anyone says the primary reason for making a show is to make a warning, I'd have say, that's not the reason entertainment is made, it's made to entertain.

Having said that, I think some movies or TV shows can contain messages that can act as warnings to us. One example that comes to mind, is a movie called "The China Syndrome" www.imdb.com... about what could happen if a nuclear power plant had a meltdown. 12 days after the movie was released, there was a partial meltdown at the three mile island nuclear power plant! I think one of the unintended consequences of the movie was a warning and it so happened the warning came partially true.

A couple of other warning movies come to mind, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb www.imdb.com... and even though it's a comedy I think it's a warning about what can happen if doomsday machines are developed.

Similarly I think "War Games" www.imdb.com... was partly a warning about what can happen if we give too much control of our nuclear arsenal over to computers.

Now as for "V" being a warning, I see an underlying warning in the show. We've got crackpots like Steven Greer claiming that aliens are benevolent and won't harm us, and some people seem to believe that garbage. My best guess is that aliens (if they exist) would, like other human individuals and other nations have a range of attributes, some are more good, some are less good, and some can be evil. And that may be true for an entire species or culture of aliens, or of the aliens individually as well...and here we have the parallel example in the V series, where some of the aliens are "good", namely the "fifth column" who disagrees with the evil intent of the leaders.

The warning about contact with aliens was given to us by Stephen Hawking, that in our history on Earth when more advanced cultures have come in contact with less advanced cultures, the latter haven't fared well, so we should heed that warning and not make an active effort to try to contact more advanced ET cultures before we're ready.

Now as for whether there's anything more specific we are being warned about, no I don't think so. No impending disclosure, other than the continued release of FOIA documents after they become declassified etc. But I do think we need to hear the warning that not all alien contact may be with benevolent species. The warnings about aliens could take much longer to be realized than the warning in the movie "the China Syndrome" which only took 12 days, but I think we should consider that some movies do pose possible scenarios that go beyond their pure entertainment value.

But entertainment is still the primary purpose, and not any warning.

I'd call those examples less "warnings" and more "messages". The big difference between the two being messages are just expressions of opinion and "We shouldn't pollute." or "Nukes are bad." whereas warnings would be a more explicit "If a nuke goes off, duck under your desk and cover your head." kind of thing.

There's messages in almost all types of art, be it movies, music, writing, whatever. They're not all warnings, but the message helps make it more consumable to the public because it's easier to relate to.

Aliens are just another gimmick to send a message. Hopefully folks are actually seeing past the aliens in V and seeing that there's a larger, very human message in it.

That is by far the BEST warning about self-destruction, and it also proves that you have to leave alone politically-correctness if you really want to make some masterpiece, as it IS: all you have to do is to show to the others what you have in mind, that's pure art.
I watch this part whenever i'm on bad mood:


What we seem to don't be ready to do is to fix our own issues before even looking outside.
A good attempt, though, was "The Day the Earth Stood Still" ( www.imdb.com... ): a possible scenario, but a weak story and, of course, an happy hand: every now and then, make some darn story end in some BAD way, since even stats say so. What we should keep in our minds is that we know nothing about possible alien civiliations, and that likely we would look to them like insects look to us: perhaps, like bacteria.
Even a scenario like this one can't be ruled out, as far as we know:

I vaguely remember both of those , well the ending anyway to AI , didn't those 'helpful' Aliens appear AFTER mankind has become extinct as they searched for artifacts we left behind? ( I.E they didn't appear before we wiped ourselves out) therefore not being helpful to us, and KPax , didn't the film sort of not say that Kevin SPACEY ( good name for an Alien) he's not an Alien but left the film with us guessing that either he was an Alien or a delusional individual?.

And in answer to your more popular bad aliens , simply because the public clamour , or at least Hollywood THINK we want to see horror and visceral action.
Sedate films of Aliens 'helping' mankind wouldn't sell very well, you might as well show a film of a farmer planting seeds.
