What makes ‘Memory: The Origins of Alien’ interesting is the way, as one critic puts it, “it was a synthesis that wasn’t done consciously“ of Giger’s biomechanical designs, Scott’s eye for striking compositions and O’Bannon’s fear of insects and the unknown. The Xenomorph, a symbiotic monster and classic cinema nasty, was created through a vast melting pot of the different influences brought to the film by three preternaturally creative people. In regards to outlining the complexities of this origin story, O. Phillippe’s documentary is an unqualified success.

Honestly, there’s not much to say about “Memory.” Or rather, there isn’t much to say about “Alien” that hasn’t really been said before. Most of the information is stuff that’s been talked about before. It was interesting to see some more information about the original idea for “Alien,” that being the screenplay for “Memory.” To be honest, not only would I like to see more about that, but I would actually like to see that movie. It’s nice to have a single encapsulated version of all the background info and critical analyses of one of the most symbolic films produced in recent memory, but if you’re a fan who’s studied this film to death already, you’re not going to find anything new or revelatory here. This is really only for fans of the original film. Others probably won’t get much out of it.
I want to go back to the old freezerinos after seeing this documentary
Imagine the horror of a feminist dissection of the movie in which one of the speakers condescendingly infers that the creators of the movie were actually making a subconscious statement about oppressive patriarchal society without even knowing!Imagine the audacity it takes to say that artist like Scott, O’Bannon and Giger were actually unaware of their own creative process and subconsciously succumbed to their male guilt.
The decision that this angle is relevant to this movie was wrong and it made the documentary naive, shallow and obtuse. No wonder Ridley Scott wanted nothing to do with it.
Shame really, I liked the bit about Francis Bacon.
OK, but it ascribes too much to the actual movie, most of which was likely invented after the movie itself
So. This is a documentary about the origins and making of the first Alien movie. I am a fan of the the movie and the movies that followed not counting the last two stupid ones that Sigourny Weaver was in. Overall it was a good little documentary BUT… It starts getting in the weeds when they start getting into a gender studies class and a whole lot of other nonsense. At that point it reminds me of some of the art history classes I have taken . I once had an Art History Professor that was kind enough to impart some actual knowledge upon us. I was reminded of this knowledge while watching this documentary. This professor basically told us that in the art world an artist can sit down and tell people all day what their piece art is, what it means, what inspired it, etc etc, but the truth in the art world is whatever art critics think it is, represents, and what inspired it. Those two things can be widely different. I feel that is the case with this documentary. They take a really good horror/sci fi movie, after it is 40 years old, and describe it as some giant philosophical humanities project. I don’t buy it all, but whatever!
