(This article is longer and cautiously)
1. Candidate shot: The engineer drank medicine and turned into dust.
This clip appeared at the beginning of the film.
Release version: The circular spacecraft landed, only a young engineer appeared, watching the spacecraft stand up and leave, then undressed and showed muscles and took the potion to drink, the ashes fell into the waterfall, fresh DNA and cells scattered in the water .
Trivia version: A total of nine engineers appeared. Eight of them watched the young engineer walking towards the waterfall. An old engineer handed the pot of medicine to the young engineer. The two greeted each other. The young engineer undressed, took the potion and drank it. While high, watching the spacecraft flatten and break through the clouds, then the medicinal seizures, and the sky screamed. At this time, I saw the spacecraft stand up and leave, and I fell into the waterfall torn apart.
Analysis: As revealed in the stills, many engineers appeared. Both sides looked peaceful and polite, which was more like a solemn sacrifice than "execution". When showing the medicinal seizure, the DNA fragmentation from the engineer's body was cut back to his torso. There was a close-up of the brain exposed to the air after it was corroded.
2. Candidate shots: After everyone on the spaceship wakes up, the group show
release version: The old boss's daughter Meredith saw the captain fiddle with the Christmas tree and asked what he was doing. The captain said to remind himself that time was passing normally. Meredith Kukudi reminded the captain to go to the meeting.
Trivia version: Meredith asked what the Christmas tree was doing, and the captain reminded himself that time was passing normally. M said that time has been passing by. The captain laughed at her Xiaobai: Is it the first time to come? M reminded the captain of the meeting. While the captain said he was going to have breakfast, he put the decorated Christmas tree on everyone's table and hung a little angel pendant on it.
Analysis: A lot of interactions between M and the captain have been added to the tidbits, and it will be more convincing for the two to become friends overnight. These clips also make these two characters fuller, and more clips that shape the image of the two will appear later.
3. Cut shots: Biologists found fish-like creatures in the cave of the Tibetan spacecraft.
It happened shortly after everyone entered the hole for the first time. In a dripping hole, biologists found a fish-like creature in a muddy ditch, and maintained the same excitement as when they found a mutated worm infected by the potion. While shouting OMG, he praised his beautiful, and did not change his stupid character when he found the mutant worm, no matter what the three seven twenty one grabbed it, and put it in the preservation vessel.
Analysis: Biologists are happy to be the first biologists to discover organisms larger than bacteria on an alien planet. Perhaps it was this safety experience that made him more paralyzed when he saw the mutant worm and lost his life...
Four. Cut shots: Biologists and grumpy geologists found something similar to a snake in the cave after being alone. Skin.
Analysis: Still a dead biologist, no matter what the three-seven-two-one grabs it... and then he leaned in to smell it! After making an expression that smelled of chrysanthemum, he threw it on the ground with disgust. Maybe this is the skin of the mutant worm? But the location was wrong, the tunnel was relatively dry, and there was no potion canister like an alien egg.
V. Cut shots: Elizabeth braved her head to return home. After returning to the cabin to rest, everyone stood by the tall Christmas tree and listened to Elizabeth's remarks about the past.
Analysis: Elizabeth told everyone about her experience in Africa with her father when she was a child. It is nothing more than the mysterious view of nature of primitive African tribes: first there was the sun and then the sun created man. Why did people say you made me? The sun said: I'm so lonely, blabla. Then there is the lyrical expression of young scientific women: we are no longer alone! cheers! The captain is still very nice. Tell Elizabeth I appreciate your suicidal enthusiasm, but you must be safe next time. His boyfriend Charlie has been very disappointed after discovering the body. He didn't take it seriously when he listened to her speech. At this time, he jumped out and poured cold water: They are all dead, so we are still lonely! I didn't come all the way to dissect a corpse sample! I'm here to talk to them! ——These are all seen by the biochemical man David. At this time, we have faintly seen Charlie's lunch halo.
6. Candidate shots: Elizabeth and Charlie's previous sex scenes
Release version: After Elizabeth burst the engineer's head & Charlie drank David's spiced wine, the two had a friendly conversation in the room. Charlie first sent the frozen rose. Elizabeth said that the engineer's DNA is consistent with human beings. Charlie It means that there is nothing special about creating human beings, anyone can do it, just a little DNA and brain. The Elizabethan literary young woman burst into tears with hypocrisy: Why am I infertile? Charlie hurriedly comforted, the two of them succeeded.
Trivia version: After Elizabeth burst the engineer's head & Charlie drank David's spiced wine, the two pinched each other in the room. Charlie didn't give the rose. Faced with Elizabeth's enthusiasm for studying the cause of alien death and doubts about it. Death is a conjecture of some kind of infection, and he just once again expressed his disappointment in the business: these guys are not gods! We are just some kind of experimentation! The earth is a petri dish! A look after the collapse of faith (in contrast to the obsession with the cross represented by the cross after Elizabeth). He further stimulated Elizabeth, what are you doing here? To redeem your sins? Still want to find out why your mother died because of your dystocia and God took your father away? (These are supplementary explanations on the side of Elizabeth's life.) Elizabeth ran away and slapped both Charlie. Charlie scuffled with him. The two began to kiss, moan, scuffled onto the sofa, and Elizabeth crossed her long and toned legs. Charlie's strong waist... That's it when you are done.
Analysis: The characterization of Charlie in this sex foreplay is obviously different. Charlie in the backstage is more disillusioned and irritable, with less tenderness and hesitation. It is a typical image of a nihilist whose faith collapsed because of the discovery of the truth that did not conform to his presupposition.
7. Candidate shots: Charlie found his eyes blood-red and bugs out after a spring night.
Release version: Charlie woke up sleepy, washed his face, and found bugs in his eyes. At this time, Elizabeth was called by the captain, and the two rushed out.
Trivia version: After Elizabeth was called up, he hugged Charlie who was petrified in front of the mirror because of bugs in his eyes. Wen Cun said that your body temperature was so high, and then the two rushed out.
Analysis: The Highlights Edition is a more detailed description of the various signs of Charlie's infection.
8. Cut shots: The team went back to the cave and found the dead biology and geographer. The biochemical man David discovered the cockpit, reproduced the 3D spectacle, and found the living engineer. Charlie became ill, and the group hurried back to the spacecraft.
Analysis: There is mainly a scene in which Meredith urges David to return to the ship and complains that Charlie is about to infect his cabin. Biochemical man David cut off the camera signal to Meredith when he found the cockpit in the cave. At this time, he turned on the signal again and lied that he encountered a technical problem.
Nine. Cut shots: The captain comforted Meredith, who had burned to death after being infected with Charlie, and wrapped himself in a bath towel and shrank himself.
Analysis: The captain still showed off his nice demeanor, and he did not forget his responsibilities after a night of shooting friends, and appeared in time in front of the poor Theron to do his ideological work. I told a tragic story about my own voyage in the past. It roughly means that in an alien colony, humans are developing something bad. One day there is a problem. Those who develop it are restricted and cannot leave. Then the officer presses Thousands of people were killed by a button; and then, "Theron, the situation here is the same as last time. They developed bad things and then lost control. Those things started to raging, and then you were the one who pressed the button. "The soft heart under the hard shell of Theron has not been crushed. I ask you what this is for? The captain said: You killed someone today, and you look painful. Theron's mouth is stiff: I just got burned my hand. The captain expressed helplessness. At this time, the spacecraft detected the vibrations in the pit and the heat signal of life reappearing (that is, the one that suddenly disappeared after being detected before, in fact, is the only living engineer), Theron and David said that they want to wake up the old man. La!
This paragraph has done a certain degree of excavation in the hearts of the captain and Theron's roles.
10. Candidate shots: Theron's separate conversation with the old man after waking up.
Analysis: The dialogue in this segment is richer. Theron expressed his respect and love for his old father when he was young, and the natural law of the current vain attempt to fight aging and death, and he refused to give up his corporate empire to his old man. Resent, and put down cruel words: I can't wait for your last breath.
11. Candidate shots: The geologist who was killed by the mutant worm's body fluid sprayed onto his face in the cave mutated and came back to life. After killing a series of bento crew members, he was burned to death by the captain.
Analysis: There is no extra plot. The difference in this segment lies in the subtle changes in geologists' modeling after mutation. The geologists in the release version basically retain their original appearance after death, wearing spacesuits, but their heads become larger; their movements and destructive power are faster and greater than those of ordinary humans. In the candidate shots, the geologist's head has begun to show a strange round and long, the ears are no longer, only some strange textures are left; the color of the torso is dark brown, the fingers and toes become slender and sharp, acting and attacking Presents a kind of inhuman swiftness and fluency. To put it bluntly, the geologists of the living dead in the trailers, their appearance and behavior patterns-more like an alien! I don't know why Scott removed this setting that is closer to the alien original.
12. Candidate shots: The old boss, David, and Elizabeth went to the cockpit in the cave to see the engineer.
Analysis: In the public release version, the engineer never spoke after his resurrection, while in the extravaganza version, the conversation agenda between humans and engineers was more substantial this time, and the engineers also spoke for a short time. Specifically:
David first told the engineer according to the father's order, we found your call, and come here according to your invitation! The engineer asked, why are you here? Elizabeth interrupted and said: Ask where they came from, ask them what was in the cargo hold that killed your regiment? Why do you want us to make biological and chemical weapons? After being firm on the belly just after the cesarean section, I still hysterically questioned: Why is all this? Why did it make us hate us? The engineer looked innocent in the face of the violent woman. At this time, David expressed the old boss's willingness to live forever, and the engineer asked with an awe-inspiring look: Why?
At this time, the old boss was obviously too excited to control, and he began to sigh like a stick: Look at this man (David), my company made him out of nothing, and I made him out of mine. The look, make him perfect, so that he will not fail! So this is what I deserve! You and I are more superior, you and I are both creators and gods! God will never die!
There was no interpreter from David in this conversation, but the engineer seemed to understand, and began to caress David's head lovingly, like a work of art. Then...then what happened was the same as the release version. David enjoyed the caress like a cat, and the next moment he separated...The engineer was invulnerable, and he used the palm of the Tathagata to kill two bento actors...Elizabeth escaped …
It can be seen that the public release version played a little trick: there is no translation of David in the film, and David only said a paragraph to the engineer. Before the old boss and Elizabeth asked David to ask different questions. So what exactly is David asking? It has become a question that everyone wants to know.
In the extravaganza, we know that what he asked was the immortality of the old boss, and then with the help of the engineer’s rhetorical question, the old boss came to a monologue with a stronger religious significance, and the engineer answered him with action after listening to this monologue: Like God, engineers are not satisfied with their creations!
Thirteen. Candidate shots: Theron was killed by a ring-shaped spacecraft (you know how to run straight 555), Elizabeth crawled back to the rescue capsule after being spared, was chased by the engineer, and released an octopus to blow up the engineer.
Analysis: This paragraph enriches some interesting shots. In the behind-the-scenes version, Elizabeth did not find the octopus immediately after escaping back to the rescue capsule. Instead, she drank two sips of wine before hearing the abnormal noise and discovered that "The baby has grown up!" After being prompted by the engineer to come, David scrambled fiercely. And the subsequent oral explosion did not happen immediately, she hid in the corner first.
When the engineer entered the cabin, he looked interested and even intoxicated at the wind chimes in the cabin and the little girl playing the violin on the electronic screen. In this clip, Scott should be trying to express how complicated engineers feel about the civilization created by their creation.
At this time, David was so dead and called Elizabeth. She was discovered, and she showed the traditional courage and fortitude of the heroine of the alien series. Blood splattered... the next blowout incident was a matter of course.
14. Candidate shots: Elizabeth took David's head and torso, and piloted the engineer's spacecraft to fly away.
Content: The plot is roughly the same. There are two main points:
First, Elizabeth's questioning was added to the dialogue between Elizabeth and David: What did he say before the thing broke your neck? where is he from? David picks the words first: thing? Not long ago you saw them as gods. Elizabeth froze: God never wanted to kill me.
(Actually, there is a suspected bug: whether it is the release version or the side-by-side version, the engineer did not speak before twisting David's neck... And if Elizabeth asked the previous, the engineer, in fact, David has already given a translation …)
David’s answer is: I didn’t understand it too well, but there are some words in the engineer’s words that are similar to the ancient human culture, such as paradise (paradise, garden of Eden). ——This word, eh, so far, Scott has answered all the suspense of some fans in the tidbits.
Secondly, Elizabeth has a completely different attitude towards David, the biochemical man, in the release version and the side-by-side version.
In the release version, although Elizabeth did not have a good color for David at the beginning of the clip, she was gentle and friendly towards David at the end. Faced with David, "Is it important for you to pursue this answer?" I was puzzled. Elizabeth explained that it might be because of me. It's a human and you are a robot; when I put David's head in the bag, I am very nice to apologize to him first. It can be said that in the end, human beings have achieved a certain degree of reconciliation with their creation.
In the side-by-side version, Elizabeth faced David's question. Although the answer was the same, she coldly added a fxxking: you're a fucking robot. Then she disregarded David's plea and slammed his head into her bag very rudely. Here, Elizabeth, like her boyfriend, showed contempt for David, a human creation.
Analysis: Thirteen is mainly to enrich the image of engineers, and to deepen the description of the complex mentality of the creator "engineer" when facing human civilization; and in the fourteenth fragment, Scott is not too complex, and once again strengthens the "human and biochemical man (robot) "Relationship" is a classic science fiction theme, and the attitude of human beings towards their creation has not changed in the end. Two different Elizabeths exposed Scott's split and swing.
