06. Ripley Appears as an Angel in Aliens (1986)
In comparison to some of the other shots chronicled here, this may not seem like the most imaginative one, but it is the probably the most expressive of the bunch. As
Sigourney Weavers Ripley immortalises the iconic line, Get away from her you bitch! she stands a dozen feet tall in her metallic skeleton, backlight by a bright white beam. Looking every image the saviour in an insanely religiously inspired way visual representation has never been this obvious before! Cameron manages to express his intentions at the most fundamental level and there is no mistaking Ripley for anything other than the hero and saviour of Newt. It is the simplicity, yet hugely interpretable, nature of this shot that makes it so imaginative and such an iconic image within cinema history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnOIvn8hMS4
