Kepler 22-b and the earth
Before brain analysis, we must first let everyone know that the secret of Kepler 22b is the core driving force of the "Alien Cataclysm" series. I can't guess that in the end, the audience will not know what happened to this planet. , So the following are all personal insights, not responsible for mistakes.
The root of the story of this play needs to start with this mysterious Kepler-22b.
First of all, "Alien Cataclysm" should belong to the category of a science fiction film, no matter how magical it is, it may be explained by physical science phenomena in the end.
Of course, I can't say too much, "Alien Cataclysm" will not be impossible to evolve to the space version of "LOST".
In the last issue, we have talked about the existence of the Wise Man Gao Wen on this planet. The giant 12-sided figure, the silver card, the mysterious aging "engineer", the cave paintings, etc. all explain everything.
The cave painting found in Paul revealed many secrets of the planet.
There are large and small vortices, it should be the planet Kepler 22B, the surrounding three stars and moons, and the local alien shape next to it, it can be explained.
And there was a spaceship flying out of Kepler 22b with 9 small balls. There were two people sitting in the middle of the spaceship. It was very similar to the mother in the first episode. They flew to Kepler 22b, but from the direction of the mural spaceship, they The destination should be to fly to the earth, and the direction of the spacecraft is exactly facing the earth.
There is also a moving python in the mural, and the remains of the python in the previous home should be of the same species. The python is also the only animation in the mural that can move.
This mural can be interpreted from two directions. The first is that the mural is very old, far enough to be connected to the birth of human beings on earth, or Neanderthals.
Perhaps before the birth of mankind, Kepler 22b was no longer suitable for civilization to survive and multiply for some reason, so Kepler people took their embryos to the earth. This may be the ancestors of Neanderthals, and because of this, the earth began. With the existence of Homo sapiens.
But if this is the reasoning, it is really similar to "Prometheus."
Another insight is that these murals were actually painted decades ago, which must be combined with the birth and rise of Mithraism on Earth, and the sudden emergence of necromantic black technology.
When the episode of "Alien Cataclysm" was broadcast, a related comic was also released offline, with only 8 pages, but it added some explanations about Mithraism and the earth. We will talk about it later. Here we first It is clear that Mithraism emerged in the drama probably in 2120, and not always so strong.
So in conjunction with this official cartoon, we will study this mural again. Perhaps it was a few decades ago that the spacecraft that flew from Kepler 22b to the earth was carrying the black technology of "dark photons". Going to the earth caused the human world to become Chaos, leading human beings to Kepler 22b in disguise.
In the mural, the two people on the bow of the ship have the light of Sol Sun God on their heads, just like the messengers of Mithraism, and the ones behind them are like eyes, the ultimate weapon of the dead. , Is the pair of eyes, which means that they are equipped with dark photon technology.
Supplementary Comics for Cataclysm
This supplementary comic can be regarded as a small prequel to the series.
In the same way, the comics began as mothers telling bedtime stories for their children, telling that the earth, the homeland of mankind, is a beautiful place, but cruel wars are taking place there.
After that, the picture turned to Earth in 2120, when Mithraism had entered a very prosperous period, and at that time it was announced that they had successfully used the fifth force of nature, which is darkness, under the guidance of the sun god Thor. Photon.
In reality, humans have recognized that there are four major energy elements in nature, namely gravity, electromagnetic force, weak force (weak interaction), and strong nuclear force (strong interaction).
Scientists believe that these four natural physical phenomena dominate the operation of the entire universe.
The fifth energy is the dark photon in the play. In reality, scientists also believe that the fifth element exists in the universe, perhaps dark matter or antimatter, but scientists have been finding evidence to prove it.
In the play, Mithraism uses dark photons on necromantic robots to clean the earth for Mithraism and eliminate atheists.
The next step in the comic is that the Necromancer enters the combat zone. The atheist soldier sees the Necromancer for the first time.
From these details, it can be understood that Mithraism is a very powerful religion in the drama, powerful enough to trigger a war with atheism, but this battle between gods and atheism is not divided before the development of the necromantic machine. Victory or defeat, it wasn't until Mithraism possessed necromantic robots that it caused the entire planet to be overwhelmed, and the control of the world was in the hands of Mithraism.
Later, the comics returned to the mother’s bedtime story. The mother added that this was the reason for Mithraism to instigate war, and even the mother believed that the technology of Dark Photon was a technological achievement that Mithraism had stolen from atheism. , And then developed the Necro Machine.
The mother's rhetoric is also because she was transformed into atheism to educate the children in this way.
But what is interesting is that the children became scarecrows of necromantic machines the next day, began to play a war chase scene, and fought near the crops in their homes.
This passage actually satirizes the genes of human nature's warlike nature. The mother's bedtime story originally wanted to instill the cruelty of war in the children, but it has become the motivation for the children to use the element of war as a fun.
After Campion accidentally fell and caused the crops to catch fire, this also caused an in-depth dialogue between father and mother. The content of the dialogue was about how to better educate human children and make them think that the necromantic machine is a very cruel killing machine. And the cruelty of war.
Afterwards, the mother explained to the children that the necromantic machine can use sound, which is the roaring method in the film, so that the sound can enter the brain through the ear canal, causing death, and it can also look at you and make it die, which is very scary.
After that, Campion had a nightmare at night, dreaming that he was being chased by a necromantic machine, and his mother rushed to it and hummed a small song to comfort Campion.
But when the screen turns, it is the roar of the dead, and there is a ruin below...
The secret of the alien snake eel
How did the mother get pregnant? I personally think that if the entire technology of the Necro Machine is not developed by humans, but comes from Kepler 22b like a mural, then the hometown of the Necro Machine is Kepler 22b.
Then it is possible that every necro machine has a fertility function, that is, every necro machine has an unfertilized egg in it, but it has not been activated for a long time. This also explains why the necro machine is a female body. , So far we have not seen a male necromantic machine.
But humans don't know this, and Mithraism only uses necromantic machines as killing machines, but in fact, necromantic machines may have greater uses.
For example, in Kepler 22b, the necromantic machine can be fertilized and conceived. As for how to conceive, it is not known, but in the play, the mother enters the virtual world and the fake Dakan performance art is used to show the audience the mother's pregnancy process.
So why let the Necro Machine conceive? This involves the snake eel born after the Necro Machine is conceived.
When the mother read the silver card, she saw the past information image. A group of people in black faced the alien creatures imprisoned by the 12-sided body, and seemed to perform religious rituals.
Combined with the mother’s picking up the remains of the imprisoned alien creature in the cave, structurally, it is very similar to the mother’s tissue structure. This seems to indicate that the alien creature is also a biochemical human, and the creature spit out white liquid at the time, which is also the same as the mother spit out. the same.
We can see that at that ceremony, the imprisoned biochemical man’s mouth (which was deliberately held up) was very big, which seemed to be very similar to the way the mother gave birth.
This is also the direction that many people have guessed. They are using biochemistry to produce snakes, eels, or other weird creatures.
We can see those prayers in black clothes. Their height is about the same as their mother's height, and there is not a small gap between the height of the masked person killed by their mother. This may indicate that this memory message is that the Kepler people have not yet degenerated.
They are doing experiments related to the birth of biochemical people, and as a result, they opened the Pandora's box and caused the entire ethnic group to suffer.
Of course, we can also think in the opposite direction. If the Kepler people are afraid of creatures like snakes and eels, this ritual might not be the birth of snakes and eels, but the killing of the snakes and eels in the biochemical human body. The biohazard is imprisoned in the Decahedron for the purpose of hanging the biohazard in preparation for the birth of the snake and eel.
So this so-called birth ceremony may also be a trial and execution ceremony.
Which of these two opposite results are you more willing to believe?
But in any case, the snake eel born from the mother is not the remains of the giant python in the homeland. It can be seen from the teeth of the head and can only be regarded as a close relative. At present, we do not know whether the previous giant python can fly.
And this flying snake eel has a strong connection with its mother (dead spirit).
First of all, the nutrient absorbed by the snake eel is the white blood of the mother's body. This natural nurturing mechanism must not be accidental. This also confirms what I said earlier that another function of the necromantic machine may be used to breed this kind of flying. Snake eel.
There are also snakes and eels that can fly, and they have the same technology genes as the undead machines that can fly.
So maybe the snake eel will have the lethality of the roar of the necroman after adulthood, and so on.
There are a few more details about the snake eel. The screenwriter Aaron Gezkowski does not shy away from it, claiming that he is a big fan of the Alien series, so in the plot and design, a lot of Alien and "Prometheus "Elements.
The way the snake eel was born is not as cruel as the breast-broken body, but this aggressive way of birth is very similar to the alien. Similarly, the shape of the snake eel also has a strong suggestion in terms of sexual metaphors.
For example, there is no need to explain what the head of a snake eel looks like, and the mouth of a snake eel is very similar to that of a female.
And the snake eel seems to have the ability to control the mother's body functions from the beginning. There is a detail in the film that when the snake eel approaches the mother, its mouth protrudes and opens. The mother's abdomen immediately stretches out a mechanical nipple, and the snake eel leaned over to suck.
The mother was unaware of these actions, but the snake eel knew all of them.
When the father and mother carried the spacecraft into the huge crater, they fell into the core part similar to the planet. The spacecraft flew to the core of the planet like an egg like a sperm.
The whole process is like the birth of new life.
At that time, after the spacecraft fell into the core of the planet, they thought that their father and mother were going to need a lunch box, but then they flew out from the other side of the core. I said earlier that this was "God’s will", but in fact the most important thing was the snake eel. Snake eels also have the ability to avoid heat.
Of course, the core may look as hot as magma, but the temperature is not high, but I prefer to believe that it is because of the former.
The spacecraft rushed out of the core, and after flying to the tropics, the snake eel had separated from its mother and became the same size as an adult. The snake eel was awakened by the father and mother until they opened the hatch and jumped out. The snake eel did not appear to be attacking. It even seems to talk to them, does this mean that the snake eel's IQ is not as stupid as expected, and the snake eel has a certain emotional basis for the mother.
Then there is the snake-eel plate in the driver's seat, which has a feeling of controlling the operation of the spacecraft.
When the spacecraft half-fallen and half-landed to the ground, we could see sparks from the tail of the spacecraft. This shows that the spacecraft did not fall for too long. At this time, the snake eel had become very large, breaking the spacecraft and flying into the jungle. Place.
If this time difference is deliberately designed by the main creator, can I understand that after arriving in the tropical zone, the growth rate of the snake eel will increase exponentially, so that the snake eel will become very large in a short time.
And when the snake eel flies in the jungle, it feels like the snake eel grows in such an environment. Remember in the first episode, Marcus (team) mentioned that the magnetic field in the tropical zone is very strong? Perhaps the superpower (growth speed) of the alien moray will double in the tropical zone.
This is also the reason why Paul threw the spacecraft switch away after hearing the auditory hallucinations, because Paul obeyed "God's will" and thought it was a bad idea to go to the tropics. Maybe there are more similar dangerous unknown creatures in the tropics.
Of course I know that this auditory hallucination seems to have been helping the mother give birth to snake eels, so how could they protect Paul and the others at this time.
But let’s think about it in the opposite direction. It is not stated in the play that the auditory hallucinations come from the same character, right.
In addition, some people have suggested that after the spacecraft passed the core, time passed. The father and mother arrived at Kepler 22b a long time ago. This inference is very interesting and it may happen, but there is no evidence at present.
However, as far as the current science fiction theme is concerned, it is relatively unlikely to do old-fashioned settings such as time travel, and I myself like not to play a so-called reincarnation setting routine like this.
Auditory Wrappers
For now, we can clearly feel that there are two clearly opposed forces behind the planet, one is to guide the birth of the alien moray. The other faction is the opposite, preventing the birth of the alien moray and trying to tell humans more.
Let’s talk about the first faction. At first, Tali’s mystery left his home, and then disappeared. Based on the doll left by Tali next to the huge pit, we should be able to confirm that Tali fell into the huge pit. I don’t know whether Tali is alive or dead. But the Tali we saw later can all be understood as the actions of all the masters behind the scenes.
Then the mother was guided to the dormant warehouse by the ghost Tali, the purpose is to let the mother meet Dakan, and Dakan in the virtual world can also be understood as the master behind the scenes, he also made the mother pregnant, but this mysterious master behind the scenes It is not clear who it is, he is like a collective consciousness, able to affect everyone on this planet at the same time.
Some people may ask how the big hurdles of the virtual world can make the mother pregnant. Combined with what I said before, the Necro Machine may have placed an inactive embryo when it was manufactured. As long as there is a chance, it can activate and then become pregnant.
During Campion’s confinement, the ghost Tully also tempted Campion to commit suicide. It was also because his mother loved Campion too much, which would lead to the dispersion of maternal love.
And when Marcus was about to kill his mother, the master behind the scenes let Marcus hear hallucinations and told him not to kill his mother, and then when Marcus wanted to throw his mother into the giant pit, he even asked Marcus to produce Illusion, slashing against oneself.
In short, everything that the master behind the scenes did was for the mother to give birth smoothly.
There is a saying that the main envoy behind the scenes is actually the moray himself. From the very beginning, the unfertilized state has been able to control many things.
Although there is no evidence to support this, it is certain that there are many things in common between the main envoy and the mother behind the scenes, as well as the alien moray.
For example, many people have seen the ghost Tali, which is very similar to the mother's technique that allows others to see her face change.
There are also auditory hallucinations, which is a bit close to the technology that mothers can control humans to sleep directly.
Next, let's look at another faction, that is, the anti-conger-born faction.
This representative should be the masked person. The masked person first brought the children’s trackers back to their caves. In fact, they were not curious about the trackers to bring them home to decorate, but to guide Marcus and the others to their caves to pass Place a good map, tell Marcus the coordinates of their children, use Marcus's hand to kill the mother, and then rescue the children.
In other words, the masked man knew from the beginning that his mother had the ability to give birth to alien morays, so he wanted to kill with a knife.
After the mother prayed in the giant pit, the masked man also wanted to kill her mother.
As for the masked person who wanted to kill his mother, whether it was the one Marcus met earlier, and some netizens proved that they were not the same person based on their physical agility. That can be understood as a masked person of the anti-alien moray sect, not just One, but an organization.
At present, we know very little about the information of these two schools, but all of this has a strong connection with the history of this planet, as well as the earth and Mithraism.
The secret of the giant pit, the history of Kepler 22b
One of the most widespread claims on the Internet is that Kepler once had a cruel war like the earth, and even used nuclear weapons. Then the planet was radiated and the Kepler people began to degenerate. In order to save themselves, they went to colonize the earth for many years. Later, he brought Kepler's necromantic technology to the earth, and guided the earth humans to Kepler 22b step by step, and then sought revival.
I don't think this statement is true. For one thing, there is no evidence. Secondly, it ignores the existence of one of the most important elements, that is, the mysterious power of Kepler 22b itself, which is the dark photon.
I have to mention "Prometheus" again. "Prometheus" revolves around black water. Black water is the fuse for engineers to create life and ultimately lead to self-destruction.
Although I know that "Alien Cataclysm" is not "Prometheus", we can think of it as whether dark photons exist like mysterious black water.
Next is the irresponsible historical part of Kepler 22b:
The rise and development of each planet’s civilization needs to rely on the natural conditions brought by the planet. Kepler 22b naturally has the energy of dark photons, so the planet’s high-tech civilization can develop rapidly, even the Kepler people once went When it comes to the Earth’s colonization experiment, this can also be linked to the reason why there are Neanderthal relics on the earth.
The Kepler people are highly dependent on dark photon technology, which has also brought about the side effects of technology. As a result, the Kepler people's race has begun to degenerate. Very strong radiation.
That's right, this brain hole is a bit like the engineer of "Prometheus", suddenly unable to give birth, who is called "Alien Cataclysm" is so alien.
After that, the Kepler people used dark photon technology to save their own race. They tried to use dark photon to breed new life. In the film, there is a similar use of biochemical people to give birth to other lives, or snake-like creatures.
In the film, a masked person killed by his mother, he used snake skin to cover his face, and also the masked person who had a strong sense of jumping before. These snake skins seem to have a protective effect on the masked person, which is to slow down Mental decline, or reduce sunlight stimulation or avoid radiation, or both.
The weird snake on the planet Kepler 22b seems to be a species that the Kepler people experimented with using dark photon technology. But there are still too many unknown mysteries of the black technology energy of Dark Photon. The Kepler people used too much force and got out of control. For example, the giant python was later created, or the flying alien moray in the film, which led to the Cape. Le people accelerate their demise.
As for the large and small pits of Kepler 22B, you can see that some huge pits have obvious traces of manual excavation, and there are circles of gears on the pit walls.
But in fact, most of the pits are very rough, and the deeper they go, the more they look like they were dug out by animals rather than neatly dug by machines.
Especially when the father and mother finally fell into the pit, the whole pit was actually more like a snake dug out.
So I am boldly guessing whether all the previous deep pits were dug by giant pythons with the purpose of leading to the core. Afterwards, the Kepler people were curious, so there were some pits, and they used machines to dig them, thus forming some The pit has traces of manual excavation.
Earlier I mentioned that netizens pointed out that all of these behind the scenes may be alien snakes, but I think this is more like Kepler 22b’s own voice, yes, the planet Kepler 22b seems to have its own. Thought and wisdom are just like the father of Xingjue in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Perhaps the so-called Sun God Sol is the planet Kepler 22b. Do you remember the logo of the sun god Sol, a sun radiates light, but in another way of reading, isn’t it like a lot of snakes digging holes to reach the core of the planet? Kepler 22b can to some extent Control the lower animals on the planet.
The logo of the sun god Thor in the silver card also looks like many snakes rushing towards the core of the planet. If the snake is compared to a mirror, it is also like a process of fertilization and new life.
The reason why Kepler 22b produces thought and wisdom is also closely related to the dark photon.
The above are some of my analysis and insights on "Alien Star Cataclysm", or that sentence, these are all my own reasoning and guessing, I am not responsible for making mistakes. After all, I am not the screenwriter of this play. These pits will continue to be. Season 2, and even seasons 3, 4, and 5.
It is said that the "Alien Cataclysm" story outline has been expanded to the content of the 5 seasons, then we can only hope that the drama will get better and better, and it will become a science fiction drama worth looking forward to in our minds.
1-2 in-depth analysis
This is a special episode of "Alien Prequel". It is about the discovery of a planet named Kepler-22b in a galaxy near the engineer's home planet. The environment there is similar to LV223 during the day and LV426 at night. .
The food grown there is irradiated, and there are fragments of prehistoric Homo sapiens buildings. Whether there has been a nuclear war between engineers before human beings discovered it... All of the above are purely fictitious. If there is any similarity, It's all because of Lao Lei's illusion.
At present, in order to attract the attention of the audience, including me, many people write "Alien Cataclysm" directed by Lao Lei in the title. It is true that Lao Lei directed the first two episodes, but after Lao Lei planted the seeds of the style of the show, he gave it to others. The director went to make it. This is also the usual routine of American dramas, such as "House of Cards" with David Fincher at the beginning, "Atlantic Empire" with Martin Scorsese and so on. However, the relationship between "Alien Cataclysm" and Lao Lei is closer. As one of the executive producers, Lao Lei also brought his son Luke Scott to participate in the whole process, as well as the title of the chief director (it feels just for Propaganda), his company SOCCT FREE is one of the producers. From the development of the series to the formation of the tune of the series, you can strongly feel that the sci-fi thriller elements characteristic of Lao Lei are everywhere, and of course, each episode has accumulated. The pit that attracts you to keep looking down.
Especially in the first episode, the story volume of the 2 episodes of the traditional American TV series was used to attract the audience to stay in the huge and complex pattern of the story weaving in this series.
The spacecraft in the film landed on that barren and barren planet. Does it remind you of the pictures of "Prometheus" and the strange mystery of the planet itself. The appearance of the low-profile version of the planet’s native "alien" also makes the alien die Loyal fans, smell a familiar smell. The drama is also permeated with a strong religious connotation. From the name of the character to the opposition camp in the film, it is not alluding, but directly discussing religion and atheism, which is also very in line with Lao Lei. Tonal (I will quote a lot of religious myths for analysis later).
The English title of "Alien Cataclysm" is Raised by Wolves (raised by wolves). As we all know, this name comes from the legendary story of "The Establishment of Rome". There are several versions of this story. The most widely circulated one is a female wolf. Romulus and Remus who "built" Rome. The two of them are twin sons of Roman mythology. The mother is the priestess Rhea Sylvia, and the father is the god of war Mars, the son of Jupiter and Juno, the kings of ancient Roman mythology.
The two brothers had a dispute after the city was built, and Romulus killed Remus and became the first king of ancient Rome. The she-wolf is naturally reminiscent of the mother in the film. After Tully disappeared, the mother also issued a wild and primitive wolf call. As for who the two brothers are in the film, Campion and Paul are the most commonly mentioned, but I personally understand that this is more like a symbol of a she wolf raising these children. Of course, when I first saw the title of "Raised by Wolves", I thought of U2's song of the same name. It is worth noting that the opening song is ethereal and has religious choir singing. The singer is Mariam Valentine from Sweden. She also claims to be a believer. Her songs are generally very religious. color.
The lyrics of the opening song are also like a poem. The first two sentences will eventually open the door. With the slight flood on the floor, it seems to be a metaphor for the punishment of the great flood caused by humans, and finally leaves the earth in the space ark.
The planet Kepler-22b does exist in reality. It was discovered by NASA with a space telescope. The planet is the first exoplanet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, 600 light-years away from the earth.
Kepler is a German astronomer and mathematician, and his most well-known achievement is Kepler's law on planetary motion.
Here we need to sort out and expand the background of the story. It seems that there is only one known human Ark, controlled by Mithraism. The destination is to go to Kepler-22b, but to go near the equator and land with the spacecraft on which the mother and the others took. Not in the same area.
The place where the spacecraft carried by the mother landed is relatively closer to the poles, so the temperature difference between day and night is more obvious. Because the father and mother took a faster and lighter spacecraft, they could arrive here many years earlier than the human ark. When mother and father first came to a new and unfamiliar environment, the first thing that people thought of was the story of the Garden of Eden. The remains of the giant python-like snake on the planet are also reminiscent of the snake that deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden.
In the film, they planted food on the remains of snakes, but they did not know that the food had radiation, which indirectly killed 5 children in the end, which also meant that they were deceived by "snakes".
Lao Lei’s works have always held deep doubts about human religion, but they also reveal respect and identification. This contradiction is particularly obvious in "Prometheus". Theories of scientific evolution have all challenged. "Alien Cataclysm" is also very similar. If you think of your father and mother as the so-called Adam and Eve, then it is not God who created Adam and Eve, but human beings.
In the film, human beings play God in disguise and create artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence becomes the hope of human survival in disguise, nurturing the descendants of mankind, and transmitting human civilization and knowledge. When the father and mother first resisted the planet, the father was still kneeling under a tree, picking up a tree fruit, this tree is a bit "Eden" tree of life.
There are various trees in the Garden of Eden. Two trees are very important. One tree of life can live forever after eating the fruit of the tree of life. The other is the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" (the tree of wisdom). Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" and were driven out of the Garden of Eden. The place where the mothers landed is more like the abandoned and defeated Garden of Eden. We can tell from many signs that life and even higher wisdom existed here. They choose to settle in the area, you can see the piles of stones, there are traces of man-made, more importantly, the growth position of the plants, before the mother they did not cultivate, they can already vaguely see the growth around the ring, these are not like It is a wild state.
So before the mother and the others arrived, what happened on this planet seemed to be related to the mysterious and warm bottomless pit, which made all life here disappear or mutate. This hole, which looks like a crater, has regular circles along the edge of the hole, similar to the traces of mechanical excavation. It is obviously the work of an intelligent species rather than a natural formation.
When my father was climbing the bottomless pit, he also picked up skin tissues that resembled shedding. The little friends who have seen the alien series are probably not unfamiliar. Isn't this just the alien morphing into mature skin? Of course, it is impossible to be alien. Linkage, so the omnipotent old stalk is left with self-tribute.
After the mother had successfully conceived 6 babies, Campion did not breathe at first, but became the last child to live. The reason is not clearly stated in the play, but I think it may be that the mother transmitted it in order to save Campion at the time. Give him some energy, thereby protecting him from the radiation brought by the fruit. Mother and they brought a total of 12 embryos. I talked about it in the issue of Interstellar. The number 12 is very special. The 12 disciples of Jesus in Christianity, the 12 main gods of Greek or Roman mythology, etc., will not be expanded here. .
In the beginning, the mother gave birth to 6 babies, 3 boys and 3 girls, but later 6 embryos were accidentally destroyed by the children's play. Some people may wonder why they didn't directly conceive 2 times at that time, and bred all 12 babies. This should be calculated as the maximum load of the two robots, which is 6 at a time. When Spilia fell ill and died, Campion began to pray secretly in the storage room. The design of this section in the film is thought-provoking.
As a strong supporter of atheists, his mother rejected religion from the beginning to the end, that is, Mithraism in the film, and wanted Campion to uphold the spirit of science. But the irony is that the planet keeps taking the lives of the children, so that Campion begins to try to find the hope of survival in the Mithraism that his mother hates, that is, prayer. This extends to whether religious beliefs are inherent in human genes, or are they cultivated?
Campion in the film represents the original "hope" driving force displayed by human beings when facing danger. In the theory of religious emotion, human beings are a strong emotional sustenance species and have an intuitive sense of "hope". Dependence. Simply put, as long as people perceive or recognize their own insignificance, and understand the grandeur and unfathomable nature of the universe and all things, they will arouse a sense of hope and dependence on the "mysterious sacred person", which seems to be human nature.
So Campion made prayer movements without other people's teaching, which is really interesting. Coincidentally, in the fourth episode, Campion and his father picked fruits that resemble pine cones in order to let the new friends eat non-irradiated food. When Campion was put into the energy intake of the spacecraft, it also Made an action similar to "prayer". These are involuntary behaviors
Ironically, in episode 5, when my mother knew that her creator, Campion Sturkis, was so great, she also showed an extremely happy, gratifying, and grateful behavior. When my father saw her, she felt like she was A believer. The mother denied it, saying that Campion Sturkis was real. But in fact, let's think about it from another angle. In today's religious evolution, in addition to religious gods that we cannot falsify (such as the existence of Jesus), the pope is also a real person, but it does not affect the worship of thousands of believers. And to be more rigorous, for robots, their worship of humans (creators) different from their own ethnic group is actually a kind of religious belief.
Starting from the words the mother said in episode 5, the discussion of theism and atheism has risen to the form of consciousness and unconsciousness. Moreover, is there no reason to follow science to the extent of fanaticism, isn't it also an act of believers? Can our lives really exist independently of religion or belief? Every time a child dies in the film, the mother buries the dead child and sets up a tombstone as a memorial. This is actually a simple religious act in itself.
Speaking of her mother, her identity has been subverted in twists and turns. In fact, her real body is a killing machine developed by the theistic Mithraism, with the purpose of killing the atheist resistance army, so we can also see that when her mother transforms into a necromantic machine, With his arms outstretched, he posed a cross, a posture with strong religious intent, but it was full of irony to do charcoal work. What's even more ironic is that later such a necromantic machine was transformed into a mother who gave birth to the offspring of atheistic humans. This also laid the groundwork for the future development of the drama, whether the mother's transformation is thorough, and whether she will return to the killing machine of Mithraism someday.
Mother has also shown multiple activations or "error" states in the previous 5 episodes. For example, when there was a load when comforting the sad Campion, and the sleep mode was turned off, I "remembered" that I was a necromantic machine, and I was still digging the remains of the giant python in the farming land to "dead". The taught biochemical man fights to activate the Necro machine mode, restores the previously locked memory through the virtual link, and so on. So maybe the mother will experience something in the future, becoming more out of control, or hiding the greater secret of the founder, Campion Sturkis, against Mithraism. When the people of Mithraism came, the mother also said her name, called Lamia.
In Greek mythology, Lamia was the daughter of the sea god Poseidon. She was very beautiful. She later became the queen of Libya, but she became the mistress of Zeus. She was discovered by Zeus’s wife Hera. Hera was furious. Killed Lamia's child and turned Lamia into a half-human, half-snake monster. The remains of the giant pythons in the film are also very suitable for the half-snake human body of Lamia.
Later, Hera cursed, as long as Lamia closed her eyes and went to sleep, she would keep seeing her child being killed. So Zeus, in order to compensate Lamia, gave Lamia to take off his eyes in a short time, so that Lamia could sleep more peacefully. The most powerful weapon of the mother (necromancer) in the film is the eyes, but the lethality of the eyes is also harmful to their children, so the mother sometimes removes her eyes or replaces the pair of extremely powerful weapons. The original eye of lethality.
Regarding the shape of the necromantic machine, what people think of is the 1927 science fiction apocalypse film "Metropolis", one of the German expressionist works, from the master Fritz Lang. The robots in "Metropolis" are a bit like the necromantic machine transformed by their mother, and "Metropolis" is a movie worthy of the name that includes a sci-fi coat, but full of religious and dystopian features. The works are very influential, and I have a chance to have a chat with you.
In the costumes of my father and mother, the retro styles of early sci-fi designs were adopted, which reminded me of sci-fi movies in the 1960s and 1970s, especially the tights of Star Trek at the time. On the contrary, Mithraism’s clothing tends to be retro-traditional, with white main color clothing, helmets and armors, and even cloaks with the religious symbol of the sun god in the middle. Under the guidance of the outer space, these elements all alluded to the Crusades of the Middle Ages.
Although Mithraism in "Alien Cataclysm" is a fictional ruling class that will dominate the world in the future, Mithraism once existed in reality, and maybe it still exists. The god of Sol that Mithraism believes in is not the thunder god Sol we know. This Sol is the sun god of ancient Roman religion and mythology. Like in the movie, Mithraism has a strict hierarchy in reality, and A more religious belief in doctrine is needed. And such a religion that can rule the world has long been a tool used by high-ranking believers to grasp power. The high-end clergy surviving in the film use their power to control anything, but in the end they were also used by the captain to rule others. body. These political trade-offs and struggles using religious beliefs have also allowed the film to have more reflections on current issues, and increase the visibility in addition to the novel settings of science fiction.
"Alien Cataclysm" is not only a battlefield for debates in religion and science, but also in artificial intelligence, it is still a common topic of old Lei, from "Blade Runner" to "Alien", the biochemical man of "Prometheus", Even today's mothers are challenging the topic of artificial intelligence for the special existence of human beings. Looking at Lao Lei’s work, in fact, Lao Lei does not place too much artificial intelligence in the dimension of awakening, but opens up new perspectives, using artificial intelligence as a bridge to communicate and diverge from human emotions. Perspective, to re-examine the richness of human emotions.
Can you say that the mother’s emotions towards the child in the film are all calculated and written? There is a small detail in the film. When their penultimate child died, the mother wanted to comfort the sad Campion, but the mother herself became "CPU-loaded" because she was too "sorrowful", and the nose came out of white liquid. Such a powerful robot, but However, the "computational overload" in the field of human emotion also reveals the complexity of the mother's thoughts. It cannot be simply regarded as a robot.
In addition to the conflicts between the character factions, they also have to face a common "enemy", that is, the mystery and unknown of Kepler-22b, the weird illusion of Tali's children, which reminds me of "Star Solaris" "After the scientist went to an unknown star Solaris (above), mankind produced various illusions, not even illusions, but the planet "assisted" to create the beloved deceased in the character's heart, and let these dead People appear in front of these scientists alive. I wonder if the planet Kepler-22b also has this ability?
In short, the plot and various plots of the opening chapter of "Alien Cataclysm" are exactly the Cthulhu myth system that Lao Lei has used many times. The audience follows the characters and experiences unknown fears and mysteries. At the same time, the series also contains the "cosmism" that created Lovecraft's mythological system of Cthulhu. The basic concept of cosmism is that the limited mind of mankind cannot understand the essence of life, and the universe is cruel and strange to mankind. The most prominent theme is that human beings fear their own insignificance when facing an incomprehensible huge universe. The description of Kepler-22B in "Alien Cataclysm" is to a certain extent like Cthulhu in the deep sea (deep sky). One of Lovecraft’s masterpieces, "Crazy Mountains", is full of unknown and mysterious The iceberg is actually like the planet Kepler-22B, waiting for people to dig and explore.
