The Thing Reflection

What does the film say about the role of scientific elites in society? Why? What scenes demonstrate this?

I think that the movie portrays the scientists and greedy humans that only want to have more knowledge. In the movie they were very bias towards the soldiers because the soldiers disagreed with the lead scientist and wanted to destroy the creature unlike the leader scientist which wanted to study it. Such scenes that demonstrate this is when the scientist tried to persuade the thing that he was on his side and that he didn't want to harm him. But he was attacked by the thing anyways. He also tried to save the alien plants while other people wanted to destroy it.
