I found the X-Files movie we watched in class interesting. In the movie two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully, are trying to figure out what the government is trying to cover up. The beginning of the movie took place thousands of years ago when someone was killed in a cave in Texas by an alien. This happened again when a kid fell into the cave thousands of years later. The alien blood went beneath his skin and crawls up towards his head and his eyes turned black. This is an important element of science fiction that we have seen a lot. The most prominent work that we saw that used eyes as a symbol was 2001: A Space
Odyssey because it is both human and alien. In the movie Mulder found a bomb in a building in Texas after receiving a tip of a terrorist attack in the area. While he and Scully evacuate the building, another agent is supposed to disarm it but does not because the bomb was meant to cover up what the government did about the boy and a few firemen who experienced the same fate as the kid. Mulder and Scully have to go to a hearing because the government was trying to blame them for the death of the boy and firemen to cover up what really happened when they were not informed that there was anyone else in the building. Mulder and Scully investigate this and find that the people left in the building had died before the acual explosion. Soon after this, I thought the movie started to get interesting. They had found that the virus was being trasmitted through bees and Scully was infected. She was being heald in Antartica where there were many other people with the alien living and growing inside of them. Mulder and Scully got out of there and the entire 'alien ship' took off and left. The last part was interesting because Scully is skeptical throughout the movie and she is in such a weakened state that she cannot look up to see the space ship.
