Ash, From the Movie the Alien

“I can’t lie to you about your chances but… you have my sympathies’’-----Ash

Ash was one fictional character who was from the one of the most classical fictional movies, Alien. Ash was a hyperdyne system android who pretend to be the science officer of the Nostromo. At first, he acted like a total human with logic and adherence. However, he was trying to do some unbelievable and out-of-compassion things, such as allowing Kane in to the ship and trying to kill Ripley. Two crew members stopped him and saved the Ripley. He got screwed twice by the canister. As the white nutrition liquid and wired was exposed from his skin, people realized that he was an android. His served head was plugged in and he told the truth about the creature. Ash told that his purpose was to ensure to bring the creature to the ship, without regarding the crew member’s life. His life ends up with “You have my sympathies”.

The movie was filmed in 1979, I think for that time, the creation of Ash as an android was totally beyond that time. Even though it showed up in the movie, the technology at that time, even now was may not allowed to create an android such as Ash. The technology of creating androids such as Ash could be a huge progress of human history. These androids can replace the work of manufacturing. Also, androids would not make mistakes as human do. More interesting thing is that those androids have emotions and feeling about things they are going through. Even though Ash was an android, but his death was still a shock to crew members. It is hard for them to believe their science officer was an android. Ash has his own feelings even though he was made by wires. He does feel sorry about what he did even though his purpose was to bring the creature to the ship.
