on the X-files

The X-files have always had an exciting appeal.  With the retro looking black and white appeal, I found it very interesting. With the exception of older, modern film, not many productions or shows are done in black and white anymore. The only real exception would be horror films, and scary movies. The dark and eary look gives the perfecting setting for something to pop out at you, or clash with red blood. This is precisecly what the X-files were trying to do.

With an ugly, deformed, unnatural being in the mix, the show was sure to balance in the likes of a horror film.  Similar to that of Frankenstein, the creature was an outcast searching for human interaction. He did what many people viewed as terrible things, however in his mind he was trying to get his fix of physical interaction and human contact. With no intentions of harming anyone, the being really spoke to me that there was a soft side to this creature. This was confirmed at the end when he was getting his boogy on while Cher sang one of her sappy love songs. In one way many of us can relate to the creature in the sense that sometimes we just want some human interaction, and to be loved. Is it too much to want to feel loved?
