For this series I chose to differentiate within the sci-fi
genre, and I chose to do this by comparing and contrasting the film E.T, to the
Star Troopers series, which is a fairly old series that displays the conflict
between humans and the giant insect aliens that now assault them all over the
universe. Other than the fact that both of these films involve aliens, they are
opposite in every way. E.T, is a child friendly movie, that teaches us not to
judge others for their appearance, and shows us the true value friendship
through loyalty over authority, while Star Troopers is an extremely vulgar
series, in which the aliens are the only enemy, and thousands of soldiers fight off swarms of giant bugs on distant planets far from home. Filled with blood, gore, and sex, it is the
polar opposite of our moralistic children's movie E.T. I believe that when
these two blockbuster films are placed side by side, it shows you how diverse
the sci-fi genre really is. The range of its audiences and age-groups,
surpasses any other genre. In sci-fi, literally anyone can find something that
appeals to them no matter their ideology, or age.
