Movies about human-alien contact that feature gentle aliens we’d be lucky to have visit us are very reassuring, and among the best that cinema has to offer.
 |
In this archetype, which features fantastic movies like ‘E.T.’, ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’, ‘The Abyss’, ‘Arrival’, and ‘The Iron Giant’, the aliens are good guys, and the villains are our aggressive and deceptive government.
In some of these types of films, like ‘Starman’, ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’, and ‘Midnight Special’, the alien can be a pseudo-Christ figure, and government bureaucrats a nasty combination of the Sanhedrin and brutish Roman soldiers.
These benevolent alien stories put us at ease, because humans are still in power. These movies are philosophical in nature and posit that the problem isn’t the aliens, it’s our own corrupt human nature, something we foolishly believe we can eventually overcome.
