Science Fiction: This is one of the best heroine of the cinema and after 37 years, everyone has been unjustly forgotten

In 1988, Paul Verhoeven Dynamite Science Fiction Cinema, to offer radical work on aggravated violence: Robocop. The dystopian story drives us to the city of Detroit, which is caused by organized crime.

We meet a police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) there; The latter remained dead after shooting in a fortified criminal gang. Then it becomes a perfect Guinea pig for creating a new weapon, a half -man hybrid policeman, a semi -robot.

A loyal and strong fellow

Before becoming a car, Murphy merged with a competent and beautiful partner, Ann Lewis, who was received by Nancy Allen. The latter will be the unwavering support of his teammate, calling him part of the lost mankind.

In addition, on his first scene, the character is presented to us to defeat a reconstructive crime in the police station, Murphy, the police station. It does not interfere with it to help him and does not appear to be the savior of the young woman in distress.

It manages to escape this difficult situation, which was quite rare in these types of performances at this time. Immediately, Lewis was shown as Bales and a ruthless heroin.

Transfer the pictures

In the 1980s, the science fiction and charismatic heroins counted with one hand. Sigourney Weaver paved the way for Ripple in the first two foreigners, and Sarah Conor (Linda Hamilton) began to go to the terminator in 1984. The latter will definitely get another dimension in Section 2 in 1991.

Between Ripley and Sarah Connor was Ann Lewis, a courageous, discerning, loyal and powerful policeman. It is often forgotten when the herds of the movie theater are quoted and it is completely unfair. The character, who is encamped by Nancy Allen, is also a pioneer in terms of women’s representation.

“I got the script from my agent. I took him out of the envelope and saw” Robocop “. I said to myself: They would change this title, right?He said in October 2024 Hollywood show.

Robocop, of course, is a protagonist of the film, but without Ann Lewis’s precious help, he could never get in touch with the share of mankind. He never plays the director of the main actor and is not sexy at all.

Nobody never calls their professionalism in doubt, and, above all, he is a Robocop’s essential partner, actively participating in quarrels and surveys. Their relationship is based on mutual respect, without a romantic connotation that was innovative at the time.

Moral compass

In addition, in this ultraviolet dystopian world, it is equal to his male colleagues, guided by the most fortified criminals and its corrupt superior. In addition, Lewis is also a kind of moral compass in the dark world that Verhoven shows in Robocop.

This is especially the first to recognize Murphy’s constant humanity behind his cybernetic shell, to strengthen the film’s central theme: the struggle for its identity in the wake of dehumanization. Between strengths and weaknesses, Lewis in this world hopes for hope that is dedicated to destruction, in the spiral of endless violence.

Nancy Allen, who is often found in more charming or vulnerable roles (impulses, blast, 1941), cut her hair and hardly give her life a powerful and flexible policeman’s trusted character. This pointed out the viewers of the time and promoted the icon of Ann Lewis’ character.

The actress resumed her role in 1990 and 1993 at Robocop 2 and 3, but after that such amazing characters were never found. He is now 75 years old, he completed his career in 2008 in 2008, after the last role of quality time, SF’s work has been overlooked.

At the same time, Ann Lewis’ legacy continued, creating a way for other courageous and independent heroons, such as the Trinity in Matrix, Katniss in Hunger Games, Furiosa Mad Max Fury Road or Ballerina. Finally, by mixing strength, intelligence, devotion, and humanity, Lewis completely determined what could be a woman in science fiction and consumer action film.

“My father was a police officer in New York, so I had the impression that I knew this character. I knew this relationship.Nancy Allen said in the Hollywood show 2024.
