Today, let's talk about the American drama "Alien Cataclysm Season 1".
The film title Raised by Wolves Season 1 (2020), alias Raised by Wolves / Adopted Son of Wolves.
In the sci-fi genre, an unavoidable name is Ridley Scott. He single-handedly created "Alien", as well as a series of classics such as "Blade Runner" and "The Martian".
In his series of works, there are thoughts on the fate of mankind, especially on the origin and end of mankind.
Ridley Scott is again directing the latest HBO MAX drama "Alien Cataclysm." Using his best technique, he once again focused on the birth and end of mankind.
In "Alien Cataclysm Season 1", the story has a lot of "Alien" shadows, and the audience can easily find the feeling of watching "Alien" at the beginning. But it should be noted that the official statement clearly stated that "Alien Cataclysm" has nothing to do with "Alien".
Ridley Scott loves to play with metaphors. "Alien" was filmed according to the sci-fi thriller routine, and the subsequent three sequels were directed by three different directors, with completely different styles.
Then Ridley Scott turned the "Alien" series into a religious ethics film through the two works of "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant". This made countless crowds rejoicing and fell in love with this kind of science-fiction and pessimistic tone.
If you like this kind of tune, you might as well continue to follow "Alien Cataclysm".
The first season of the show is currently over, and it was officially announced that the second season will be renewed, but it is still unknown when the second season will return.
In the first season, the story left many pits, and it was clear that it was to be explained in later seasons. Now all kinds of explanations are speculations that everyone has opened their minds, and the final situation is still dominated by official announcements.
Here are only a few of the content that has been expressed or implied in the play.
The story of the show is set in the near future. The entire earth was ruled by a religion called Mithraism, who worshipped the sun god Thor. At the same time, a group of atheists resolutely opposed religious rule and took arms to seize power.
A fierce war broke out between the two sides, making the earth uninhabitable. Mithraists and atheists can only leave the earth.
An atheist builder has captured two Mithraic bionic robots and reprogrammed them for his own use.
The builder named the two androids "father" and "mother", and arranged for them to carry 12 human embryos to the planet Kepler-22b, 600 light-years away from the earth, to reproduce humans there.
Here are a few related backstories:
1. Mithraism mentioned in the play is a real religion that flourished in Rome from the first century BC to the fifth century AD. The religion mainly worships Mithra, who symbolizes the sun and is worshiped as the sun god.
2. The planet Kepler-22b is 600 light-years away from Earth and is the first planet discovered by NASA in the Kepler system. Based on its distance from the Kepler-22 star, it is considered the first planet in the Goldilocks belt. a planet. Discovered in 2011, Kepler-22b is about twice the mass of Earth and has an orbital period of 290 days, and is also considered a habitable planet.
3. In the opening shot of the first episode of the season (00:55, the ship arrives at Kepler-22b) with Ridley Scott's movie "Prometheus" (24:55, the ship Prometheus Arrived LV_223) shared some aerial footage of the same.
4. When the Mithraic order asked what the name of "Mother" was, she replied, "Lamia." In ancient Greek mythology, Lamia was a woman who was destroyed by Hera after her child was destroyed. , she turns into a child-eating monster, and Hera learns that her husband Zeus has a tryst with her. Hera also made Lamia suffer from insomnia, so she would be in constant pain.
5. The series was filmed at African Film Studios in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as at various locations in the Western Cape.
6. The tooth of Romulus found by Holly on the ship refers to the myth of Romulus and Remus. Romulus and Remus were twins best known in stories and legends being raised by mother wolves.
7. In the ninth episode of the first season, Sue said she was a doctor, not a mechanic. It's a classic reference in Star Trek, as when Captain Kirk is again asked to perform a mission or provide insight beyond his fairly professional level, he often reminds Captain Kirk that he's a doctor and nothing else what.
8. The mother revealed the presence of six nipple-like connectors in her lower abdomen while nursing her unborn first-generation young colonists, and later, when she was attacked while interacting with the mock pod. During these times, she looks like a bitch or wolf, with at least six nipples in this position.
Here are some clear clues from the play:
1. Kepler-22b and the earth are inextricably linked, and the two constitute a kind of reincarnation.
Kepler-22b and the origin and demise of Earthlings contrast each other, returning to the familiar recipe and familiar taste of the "Alien" series.
On the mural of the Kepler-22b planet, it can be clearly seen that two Kepler-22b people took a spacecraft and flew to Earth with 9 seeds.
The planet on the left is the Kepler-22b planet, and inside it is a large wormhole full of planets.
On the right is the destination of the spacecraft, where the sun and stars such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and the moon can be clearly seen.
2. After the father's mouth identification: the humanoid aboriginal race on Kepler-22b is Neanderthal.
A few years ago, Kepler-22b people went to the earth to live and multiply. Although the battle against Homo sapiens failed, Neanderthals still left 2% to 4% of the DNA in modern humans.
The book that Kepler-22b people brought to Earth with their spacecraft became the holy book of Mithraism.
3. Kepler-22b technology was once highly developed and mastered deep dark photons.
The Mithraists on Earth could not master the principles of the holy book, but they applied the formula in the book and successfully created a large-killer necromancer using dark photons.
The undead robots like mother rely on the principle of dark photons to kill all directions, and the emitters of dark photons are her eyes.
The attack method is very similar to the directional supply of ultrasonic weapons. The place where the two eyes focus is where the dark photons are concentrated and blasted.
This is the climax of the first episode, and it is also the hottest point of the show.
4. There are two types of higher organisms on Kepler-22b. One is a Neanderthal and the other is a serpent.
When the mother scans the card to view the historical footage, she sees an android imprisoned by the Kepler-22b people. A group of Kepler-22b people surrounds a small regular dodecahedron with a android locked inside. It can be seen from the skeleton of the android that the android has the same structure as its mother, and there is a gap in the position of the android's mouth.
Make a bold guess, the Kepler-22b people created this android, the purpose is to use it as a breeding vessel, and the purpose is to reproduce giant snakes. The process of conception and delivery by the mother shows that the initial function of the android is to prepare for pregnancy and give birth through the mouth. The giant snake produced by the android has wisdom, which opens Pandora's box.
In the process of competing for the planet, a fierce war broke out between the two parties, and a nuclear bomb is likely to be used. The nuclear pollution of the land made the planet uninhabitable, so the Kepler-22b people took the spacecraft to the earth to save the fire. After the death of the giant snake, a lot of debris was left on the surface.
Several years later, carbon fruits still carry trace amounts of nuclear radiation.
5. Looking at the volume of this small regular dodecahedron, it is very likely that the bionic man inside has only a head and a body, no limbs, and is just a "human stick". 22b didn't want to weaponize it, but just as a breeding petri dish.
And it is very likely that the artificial giant snake has a higher intelligence because of this, and backhanded the 22b person to the ground. 22b people want to be the creator, but they are backfired by technology. It's also a theme the director has been discussing throughout his series of sci-fi films.
6. In the huge regular dodecahedron, it is very likely that there are not many remaining giant snakes, or the first generation of androids. They lured the Mitre believers through electromagnetic waves and created the illusion of an oracle, in order to induce believers to release themselves.
In Western works such as the "Bible", the snake has an evil aura, and is always set to act as the negative role of the protagonist of temptation. This meaning can also be seen here.
7. The Kepler-22b people established a large electromagnetic field near the equator in order to prevent the intrusion of giant snakes and protect themselves.
The giant snake can affect the human mind through electromagnetic waves, and theists will worship it as a god. The giant dodecahedron is likely to contain the giant snake. The huge building limits the giant snake's ability, and people are only affected by the giant snake's electromagnetic waves when they get close. The serpent will use every opportunity and means to prevent people from going to the equator.
Electromagnetic fields can block the electromagnetic waves of giant snakes, and the side effect may be to cause biological degradation. After a few years, Kepler-22b people can only survive like primitive people.
8. After the giant snake induces its mother's pregnancy, the newborn giant snake inherits the flying ability of the necrobot.
Subsequent surviving humans and degenerate Kepler-22b humans are likely to join forces against the serpent.
9. The scene of the spaceship rushing into the center of the earth and rushing to the magma simulates the process of sperm rushing to the egg to conceive.
Reincarnation is not just the core of the show. Science fiction works are full of pessimism about intelligent life, and the ending will without exception lead to extinction. Even if the individual shines with the light of love in the process, it cannot cover up the group's madness and self-destruction.
The cycle of life and death is Ridley Scott's favorite subject of discussion.
The reincarnation of life is that people want to be the creator, the god of creation, and the creation will also have the same idea. The creation will destroy the creator, become the master, and then think about becoming the creator.
The cycle of death manifests itself as the demise of various intelligent beings. Kepler-22b humans, giant snakes, androids, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens constitute a huge cycle of reproduction. will perish.
After Kepler-22b escaped to Earth, they were called Neanderthals.
Don't look at the brains of Neanderthals. When they climbed the technology tree, they even pointed out the dark photon black technology. In the process of competing for the earth, they lost to the more cunning Homo sapiens.
The reincarnation of history has not stopped. Later generations regarded the technical books of Neanderthals as teachings, created Mithraism, worshipped the sun god Thor, and the aggressive earth people still called death without knowing the principle. Spirit robot skill points, but as a result, they foolishly played human beings to death in the debate of theism and atheism, and still failed to save the fate of death.
Ridley Scott's "Alien Cataclysm" plays the same routine as his previous works.
Such sci-fi works mainly discuss "What makes us human?" "What makes a family?" "What if we could start over and remove the chaos from our planet?" "We could survive. Go down? Can we do better?"
When materializing these ideas, it is wrapped in a science fiction coat, in other words, showing off the settings. In order to make the setting look good, take the method of saying half and leaving half.
Most of the discussions on the Internet focus on conjectures about the plot setting. This drama only vaguely gives half or a small half of the setting, and the rest is completed by means of hints and follow-up works, which requires the protagonist to lead the audience slowly. Explore slowly.
The same routine has been used in "Blade Runner", "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant". The result is that everyone's discussion is basically focused on the settings.
It is hoped that the follow-up works of "Alien Cataclysm" can be completed by the same team, so as not to change people and cause unfinished results.
Life and death are eternally reincarnated,
Man and God are in conflict.
