Does this come across your radar?
Oh, no.
Okay.
Because you 1,000% nail this perfectly in your movie.
Okay, let us set this up for you if you haven't seen Fede's movie, Alien Romulus.
In his Alien, we actually start on a mining and farming planet, a colony entirely controlled by the corporation Weyland-Yutani.
And it is, you know, bad.
Workers are living some version of indentured servitude in a company town.
And just like in the original Alien, one of Fede's first scenes is simple yet stuffed with all kinds of huge labor economics.
Right, our protagonist, a young woman named Rain, she goes into Weyland-Yutani's Office of Colony Affairs, and she tries to submit some paperwork to get off this planet.
You know, basically, she's trying to quit her job.
Wait, what?
Come on.
No, I reached the required hours.
This is a depiction of monopsony that could be taught in economics classes.
the way that remote towns historically created this kind of trapped labor force, the way company towns infamously had so much control that workers had to use fake company money to buy things from their company stores using company script.
We asked Fede if he and his co-writer, Rodo Sayegues, had researched, like, case studies to get this right.
And he was like, yeah, but also, it's a bit more intuitive than that.
And it's also about, early on in the movie, setting up what he thinks is the ultimate theme of a good alien movie.
General powerlessness.
