@creamb, with all due respect, I disagree. Margaret's not assertive, she's vicious. And what kind of feminist treats other women like absolute garbage (for example, raping them in front of a room full of people)?
@EyeLean5280 IMO, the film has been showing everyone taking advantage of Margaret up until this point, and afterward, she diliberately kills whatshisname, the guy who raped her on the stairs. Ironically, the Aliens then decide to leave without her once she gets her power back.
@powergirl901, I'll agree with everything you've said except the word "ironically." The filmmaker was a professor of mine and I don't think there was much irony going on here. I think you're thinking a lot more deeply about the film than he did while making it! LOL.
I saw this movie at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena when it came out all those years ago. I was in my mid teens then, and this movie, this scene particularly, has stuck with me ever since.
@Sigdriffa I wasn't as lucky. the moment I first saw the film (March 1986), it stopped showing everywhere in LA after that. So I had to fly to Tuscon, Arizona to see it in 35mm projected as it was meant to.
Yes, that means I like the film mroe than a little bit.
I saw this movie in a small underground cinema in West-Berlin when it came out early 8ts , it totally blew me away, specially the strange music in it. It made me go to New York later. I love this film, and even when I'm back in Berlin, I love New York.
Oh my god this is exactly my kind of art! no one i explain this to gets it. someone please tell me where i can get this or post the whole thing. I've got to see the whole thing man i've just fucking got to.
And i absolutely love the glow in the dark scene and her speech
When I was 13 or 14 I rented this film, a few years after it came out. I was a kind of arty "new wave" kid, and with devilish glee, I played the film for a cheerleader who had come over for a sleepover. She freaked out. She insisted on seeing "Purple Rain" and "Duran Duran" videos instead that weekend. We went our separate ways--took radically different paths.....
I love that they disintigrate into these aluminum foil sculptures when they die, like where did they get that idea for that? If you pause at 2:23 you can see the foil sculpture clearly. So low tech yet very effective.
Thanks, love it! I was 14 when the film came out & my best friend's mom owned an art theater. We saw the film every weekday after school for 2 weeks straight.

Margaret's soliloquy after Adrian crumples up to nothing is the best part of the movie.

Man, those people really can't take "no" for an answer.
Maybe you should put a rape-warning in the description, for those who aren't familiar with the movie?
(And I just know that someone will give me a thumbs down for this)
