Major Theme Of Roswell The Cover Up

3 Pages 733 Words

The major theme presented in the movie, "Roswell: The Cover-up" is the question of whether or not we are alone in this universe. The point of the movie is that we are not. In the movie, a space craft with four aliens aboard crash-landed on a large ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. The government almost immediately rushed in, sealed off the area, denied that it was extraterestrial activity, claimed that is was a weather balloon, and threatened everyone involved if they told anyone. The aliens in the film were the stereotypical small child-like alien with a tiny body and limbs, but an enormous egg shaped head with large black, almond shaped eyes. The only difference was that they had white skin, and while alive, glowed faitly blue. On top of that, the movie stated that not only are we not alone, but aliens were greatly involved in human progress and evolution. The mysterious Townsend claimed that perhaps aliens don’t travel thousands of light years to earth, but in fact travel through different dimensions or universes. Physisists have hypothesized that there is not one universe but a multiverse. Townsend thus claimed that many beings possess the technology and the means to travel in and out of these different universes. Later in the movie we find out that the four aliens that had landed on Earth were part of an invasion and more were coming, further increasing the contact with the United States government, and increasing the size of the conspiracy. To put it simply, the movie puts forth the idea that we are not alone, and that there are many more races and species of creatures all over this universe and others. In my opinion, something happened that day, and whether or not it had to do with aliens, it resulted in one of the worst government cover-ups in American history.
