WATCHING THE FILM PREDATOR
 

offline proteus5 from Toronto (Canada) on 2005-10-16 13:59 [#01751707]

Predator is one of my favorite films. The reason it’s not
listed in the altered beats `proteus’ uber-vanity section
is mainly because I don’t really think about predator when
I rhyme and freestyle. I put movies there that have a lot to
do with my rapping and music and despite what a lot of
people may think that has many uses besides me telling the
world how great I am. So anyways let me get right into why I
like predator so much and more importantly the WAY that I
watch it. This also is a rather intense time for me in
terms of music so I think I am going to watch Predator today
or tonight and I think I really need to share the way I
watch it with some people.
So what I am referring to here is a sort of mindset. Or a
little added mental thoughts and background to the actual
film before and during it. The fist thing to think of is
simply life in general. Life is a powerful thing very much.
And life does not want to die and life wants to keep going
on. If you get sick your nose drains trying to get rid of
the illness. If you see a attractive woman you get aroused.
That life’s way of making sure you make more of its self
to keep the species going. You put your hand near an element
on a stove and pain rushes to get you to move your appendage
away so you not burn yourself. All these things are just
common sense. However this is where it gets weird. Have you
ever thought of say the entire human race as say one human?
Or more like. How do I put this. Imagine all human life as
say one Biomass if you will. Picturing the whole human race
as `one entity’. I never really thought about that until I
watched the film Predator years ago. Now let me clear
something up right now. I am not going to spit some physics
crap and act like I am a scientist or anything of the sort.
I am talking about a deep common sense that just kind of
occurred to me when I saw the film. Have you ever seen the
movie Magnolia? All the events that they talked about in the
beginning actually happened. So without being religious,
over superstitions or

or on lots of pot. Its true that in our existence weird shit
happens. You see imagine for a moment that the events or
Predator were real. Imagine they really happened. Imagine
that a creature came to this planet and hunted humans.
Imagine it. NOW call me crazy BUT if that ever happened I
cant help but think that somehow the human biomass. The
human `one body’ if you will would somehow know this.
Maybe how you could perhaps feel that there was a rat in
your house but you can’t see it or hear it maybe. Like if
someone in your family is getting hurt somewhere and you
maybe get a `funny feeling'. Sort of like the whole human
race is connected in a way. I am not like I said a hoodoo
weed smoking hippie wanna be scientist like I said but
damn... I think there would be some kind of freaky reaction
from the whole human presence on this planet to a invader
like that. It was insulting us. It was violating us. OK now
just like the events outlined in the beginning of Magnolia
if we ever did have a creature like the Predator come to
this planet do you know what I HONESTY think would happen? I
think the human biomass would fight back. Yes I really think
it would. I shit you not I am a pretty cold nihilistic guy
and I normally think all this means nothing and we are just
soon going to be worm food or whatever BUT I know there is
some cosmic shit going on to some degree because all the
things in the beginning of Magnolia really happened and
other things happen all the time that have to mean something
is going on. So what do you think the human race would do.
They would fight it the BEST it could. You see if you think
about it. The team in Predator was an almost private sector
outside of the military. They were the `best’ All the guys
in the team where all highly unique. I would have to say
that in the predator world they were all possibly the
toughest humans on the planet. But it gets better Dutch was
the toughest human ever. You see that’s what I think a lot
of people don’t get about the film predator. There was a

bizarre feeling of responsibly and a look in the character
Dutch’s eyes though the whole film I think. And this
theory gets even better. In the early 80's scientists said
that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the most genetically perfect
human. At least I heard that someone said something like
that when he keep wining Mr. universe or whatever. Watch it
again and watch the character. Just like how everyone in
Donnie Darko who was in the tangent universe knew there was
something wrong even if they did not really know it …it
was there. I normally never go for that fate crap in real
life or in movies. But Predator makes me believe. Dutch was
our defense. Dutch was everything we got.

So when I watch Predator I don’t just watch it. I imagine
that the events really happened. That something came to our
watery sphere and hunted us. And I know in my heart and in
my gut that if that ever happened that my body. That
everyone’s body would know it deep down that something was
here doing this to us. Even that far way in the jungle we
would all know it deep down. I know that somehow someway we
would send the best defense we had. We would send the
toughest of us all to show this thing human beings. PEOPLE
will not take this. Why do you think Dutch had that
impossible look in his eyes as he slowly applied the mud to
his face in the ending battle scene? Look at the look of
absolutely unimaginable responsibility in his eyes. The
spellbinding awesome feeling as every last one of the human
spirits from across the globe are flying into him one a time
as each stroke of the mud goes onto his face. Do you really
think such an intense ritual would be happened if he were
just fighting for his survival? When he looks up at moon
with a sense of ownership. Why?...... because that’s our
moon and this is our planet! And that creature does not
belong here.

When that earth shaking bellow or a war cry blasts from the
core of the characters being that was not a yell of a
scream. That was the entire human race inside him screaming

as the smoke clears at the end you see Dutch looking up with
his hands on his side. Most people would think he was
looking up at the chopper that was coming to rescue him. But
I know he was looking up at all of us.

Saying I did it.

if you liked Predator, you should check out Junior. Arnold
in true form with a fetus gestating in his "perennial
cavity." Very sci-fi.

No, no, it was Proteus for sure, though without the 5. He
had a strange blobby giraffe-like animated creature in his
avatar.

Nothing. I was kidding about the prominence. However that
running animal is stuck in my mind pretty deep and whenever
harm is done to any proteus, I want to hug that adorable
green blob. Just let him nibble his grass, he won't do any
harm.

Predator aged remarkably well for a 80's movie even the big
explosion in the end looks great.
