THe philosophy of sciences fiction is that fantasy and mystical realism taking place in a futuristic world. one of it founders were Georage Melies through his movie travel to the moon. Also another founder that pushed Sciences fiction even futher was the director George Lucas with his famous movie Star wars. ALso some of the founders actors Buck Roger and Flash Gorden. ANother film that came before star wars was 20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Vernes. they influenced the genera with the ideas of things that could not be done and this things made the genera more and more interesting because it was life that we can not see everyday.
THe idea I want to pursue is the way western influence on the kind of cutural background of the director and how this influence shaped the kind of science fiction movie they want to make. For example the movie of district nine is shaped my the director growing up in South Africa during the time of apartheid and how the story shows the combination between the fight of aliens and humans as the struggle between balck and white. Like in Avatar it is talking about the culture of americans and our past with the struggle of Idians against the whites as they moved west. ANother movie is the host and it shows the western influence of the Americans on the East. It is about a best htat attacks and kills everything in it path and abducts a person which makes the family start to fight back to save the person. Through this it shows western influence of nuclear substance and how the western influence had spread and how it influence the people.

Rather than just western influences, you may look at the historical context of racism and politics as seen in the science fiction world of the film. How does the film connect and comment to the past?
