It always struck her as weird, how people from other planets were portrayed in films made here on Earth. That humans beings were portrayed in ways to be different than these so called “aliens”. Epecially when it came to worshipping some sort of diety or making sacrifices to one god or another. It all seemed just like another version of diversion. Self-deprecating dogma always made her uncomfortable and it seemed to her that humans held the copyright to all of that. She wondered why the fuck was she sitting through another one of these films. She knew that it was her boyfriends fault that she was there. Her boyfriend who would laugh at the screen and say out loud things like, “these creatures are fools, fanatics, who should not be allowed to exist,” These comments made her quite uncomfortable and slide down in her seat. Meanwhile as the rest of the audience would cheer the destruction of some foriegn world, she would chew upon popcorn wondering if they realized that the “aliens” were no different than they were and that it was other so-called humans who wrote the lines of propaganda that the “aliens” were saying. Fiction being portrayed as fact was for the moral majority, where it was at. And she was growing ever more so concerned about why her boyfriend kept dragging them back.
