I’m not a film buff, but I love the movie Men in Black. Towards the beginning, there is a scene where the main character enters an alien shooting gallery competition. Almost all of the challengers squeeze the trigger, blowing away the aliens.

The main character does not.

This begs the question, “why do we usually want to blow the aliens away?”
