Alright Dean They're sad because they think that we don't like them It really depends
on how long they've been evolving That's an alien Aliens have noses? (1)………

… ……….Oh my god, it's one of those facehuggers from the Alien movie Which means that when we think about aliens, we're usually thinking about the product of someone else's imagination This is the first film featuring life out in space:
A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès It came out in 1902 and the strange moon aliens in it are not at all that strange They actually look a lot like us (2)……
………
……….This is Charlie Henley, an Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor who worked on Ridley Scott's Alien series So yeah, he spends a lot of time thinking about aliens Obviously sometimes it's just like, well, we'll dress somebody up So they're gonna end up with a head and arms and legs, you know? The idea's that they would relate to us if they're intelligent, so we'd be kinda similar We don't have any reason to believe that they would look anything like us The form of a human being is the result of several billion years of evolution.that the sort of the form of life would look anything like we have on Earth That's Andrew Siemion, the director of SETI Institute where they conduct experiments to detect extraterrestrial technology We're lucky in that we don't have to think too much about the biological organism, the specifics of the life that created the technology, because we just search directly for the technology and then we use that a proxy for the existence of life But imagining alien organisms, especially ones with relatable features, is what feeds a popular theme in

……… And that's made for some powerful storytelling Are they good or are they bad? What would we do if they try to communicate with us? I think those are their names So what are we gonna call them? Science fiction has stuck around as a major Hollywood genre for decades, with more advanced visual effects technology in recent years, filmmakers had more room to experiment with the alien form But even with the right tools it can be hard to break out of what we already know Normally there's a bit of a history for the film, there's some DNA that you want
to follow For example the Neomorph in the new Alien is effectively like a new creature that Ridley wanted to create, but it had the DNA of the original alien, so obviously features relate to that (4)………
………
………In The Edge of Tomorrow, there's a creature called a "Mimic" and we did some design work for that originally But the brief for that was it shouldn't be humanistic obviously and it should follow the normal laws And that's a difficult task for filmmakers But the challenge with anything like that is that if it doesn't follow the laws that we know, They need to come up with something totally new, but also have it makes sense to us Often, the trick is to find inspiration in nature For example, the Neomorph, we referenced these Goblin sharks which are quite rare, found in the deep sea and they have a particular quality to the skin, but also just the mechanism of how their mouths open Or the ink-squirting Heptapods in Arrival: they're otherworldly but still familiar And even Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Who effectively is an alien, but you know not in any classical sense Like he
tree.(5)………

………… We're all sort of wondering about the same thing And I think some people draw pictures of it and some people make movies about it and some people make music about it and some people talk to their friends and family and some scientists try to determine the answer using the principles of basic science and
Trang 3observational astronomy, but it's all part of I think the same human question Which is
of course:
1 Aliens /'eiliən/ Người ngoài hành tinh
2 creatures Sinh vật, loài vật
3 organism /'ɔ:gənizm/ Cơ thể; sinh vật
4 mechanism /´mekə¸nizəm/ Máy móc, cơ cấu, cơ chế, thể chế (nghĩa đen) & (nghĩa bóng)
5 astronomy /ə´strɔnəmi/ Thiên văn học
6 nostalgia /nɔs'tælʤiə/ Nỗi luyến tiếc quá khứ, nỗi nhớ
7 depictions /di´pikʃən/ Sự tả, sự miêu tả
8 humanistic /ˌhjuːməˈnɪstɪk/ Thuộc về con người , nhân văn
9 hostile /'hɔstail/ Thù địch
10 nominate/'nɔmineit/Chỉ định, chọn, bổ nhiệm
1 There's no right answer, since no one really knows But we often imagine extraterrestrials to look a certain way, because we've encountered them in
books, films, or on TV shows
2 These creatures were incredibly ambitious at the time, but they were also
convenient
3 There's always a point of contact, an interaction that's sometimes hostile and
other times it leads to a warm and fuzzy relationship
4 That connection creates a strong sense of nostalgia for franchises like Alien, but
sometimes when creators break away from that DNA, that leads to new forms
5 The design brief there is to make him friendly, but also figure out the technicalities of how it's gonna work These aliens come from someone else's imagination and they might not be entirely rooted in science, but the depictions
make us think about life beyond our planet
Các bước nghe hiệu quả Bước 1: In bài này ra(cô khuyên chúng ta in ra, làm việc trên giấy sẽ tập trung hơn) Bước 2: Nghe 1 lần 1,2 ( ko dùng sub, cố gắng tập trung nghe hiểu)
