Well Victor, we just see things a bit differently.

>>> "Surely you are not suggesting this (i.e., inspiring four sequels) is any criteria for evaluation, expecially in the American culture, are you?" <<<

No, I mentioned that as an indication of it's popularity as a theme and as an indication of which films I consider worth one's time (i.e., Alien & Aliens); Alien is worthy of evaluation on other levels within the context of it being a superior horror/SF genre film.

>>> "Well, that "criteria" (i.e., the depiction of women seeking independence in a male-dominated society) is at the same level as the first, or even lower." <<<

Oh really, how is that? You don't consider this a relevent social topic?

>>> "What on Earth do your political feelings have to to with artistic merits of a film and with talent of the director?" <<<

Quite a lot actually, but not necessarily just "my" feelings. The skillful weaving of messages has been an important part of film-maker's craft since early on in the history of cinema.

>>> "Haven't we had enough politically correct trash already to stop giving this aspect Any attention?" <<<

That depends on two things: what I consider "politically correct" and what you consider "trash" and I'm confident that we have differing perspectives of what constitutes both.

>>> "Those two bimbos as role models? Give me a break..." <<<

Is THAT your "intelligent appraisal" of the film Thelma & Louise? Move over Roger Ebert, big Vic's movin' in! ;^)

Cheers,
AuPh
