Let me state a few positions first 1. I am a fan of sci-fi movies 2. I am a fan of Ridley Scott 3. I am a fan of the Alien series The heart is very complicated, based on the above premise, so fat intestines and fat intestines are looking forward to this movie. There have been several frustrating moments in the past five years, first when the directorship of the fifth Alien film was given to South African ghost director Neil Blomkamp (though he was very talented, he could not give the series The film is epic), and Lao Lei is busy making the main theme movie "The Martian", so I was worried that he would not direct this alien prequel. And during this period, Lao Lei directed "Pharaoh and the Gods" and "Black Gold Murder", which were not satisfactory. Fortunately, the alien contract is still here. First of all, I don't want to talk about 80% of the film critics who complain about the lack of IQ from the perspective of God. All are bugs to show off their high school education level. Complaints about screenwriters have fatal flaws, either because they didn't watch the movie well, or because their knowledge level and IQ are insufficient, and they think they are better than the movie. Great idiots from the production team. If there is a problem with the development of the plot, most of them are designed by the film team to be like this, not the IQ offline. When "Prometheus" was released, there were also many such idiots jumping around and saying that the plot of the spicy chicken was chaotic and messed up. Afterwards, it was proved that Prometheus is a great science fiction movie, and the plot is well experienced everywhere. For scrutiny and deep thinking, please refer to the 3-hour in-depth analysis of Taiwan WAN netizens [who is not important] https://www.bilibili.com/video/av10495453/, although it is very lengthy, I don't think there is any suspicion of over-interpretation, and it also adds a lot of knowledge, which is very interesting. Another point is that the first prequel was called "Prometheus", and it didn't have any alien labels. At that time, many parents thought it was a film from Greek and Roman mythology, so they took their children to watch it. In fact, "Prometheus" "In many respects, it still tells the story from the positive perspective of human beings, but "Contract" is not. It is a bloody and corrupt R18 film that extinguishes the brilliance of human nature and the immortality of faith established in the previous work. The first time I watched "The Covenant", I was very uncomfortable. I thought this movie was too bad. The whole thing was a feast of trapping and killing directed and acted by David. It was full of racial thoughts, very Nazi, and as a human being, I also Feeling depressed and hopeless. After watching it, my lover told me that it was not good-looking. I said that Prometheus was more beautiful. He said that this scene was not enough for CULT, but Prometheus opened the scene very nicely and magnificently. So think back to the opening scene. The opening scene of "Pu" was filmed in Finland. In front of the surging waterfall, the engineer drank a deadly potion and sacrificed himself for mankind. It was very heart-warming.
And "Contract" is an indoor, blinding room where David and Wieland seem to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent of snarky dialogue, a tense and depressing atmosphere arises spontaneously, so the pattern of this film is very Small, revolves around David, and "Pu" is a grand beginning, the tasks undertaken by the two films are different.
At the beginning of the film, the golden energy sail slowly unfolding in the dark and quiet deep space is the most beautiful scene in my opinion. And this beauty is also the source of the whole tragedy. If the energy sails are not open, the spacecraft will not absorb so much shock energy in the flare, and Captain Branson will not be easy. The former captain played by Fu Lanlan has only a few pictures, but some important information is explained before and after. The heroine, Dany, told Walter after his death that Branson had to come, not her own. So please make those film critic trolls know that this is a colonial cargo ship, not a scientific research ship. It is just an ordinary spaceship that the earth flies to other planets to live in. It is the same as the high-speed train your mother came to see you on. , all people can choose to stay on the earth or leave the earth, not Noah's Ark where human destiny seeks to survive. Branson's accidental (suspected) death led to the strong (?) appearance of the great evil star Captain Aum in this film. After Branson's death, the crew mourned privately. Aum was very displeased. He felt that the crew did not accept him, did not trust him, and were not confident because of his identity as a believer. He felt that the upper management did not let him be the captain because of him. Religious thinking is more paranoid, so when he heard that this fourth planet is suitable for survival and very close, he was so happy that he wanted to see it. This was because he was eager to make achievements and gain everyone’s approval. A conversation between him and Danny was enough to show that he was a fragile, hesitant and reckless person. He said that you are still protesting publicly, and I will write it in the logbook. He was very concerned about his decision from beginning to end. He said this to prove his a priori wiseness to future generations after the colonization was successful, but at the same time he was cowardly. Later, when the casualties were over, he smiled right by the fire. Dany said that her decision was wrong, so he was a strong man and certainly not suitable to be a captain. He also said "I'm not climbing bare-handed, I use ropes" to satirize former Captain Branson, but Captain Orm, where are your ropes? There is also a small detail in this plot. After Branson died, when Danny was alone in the cabin, there was a picture of sunshine pouring into the forest. This was a small tribute to Alien 2. After Puli returned to the earth, he also had this kind of video image of psychological healing with the beautiful scenery on the earth.
Subsequently, the contract was invited by the human voice, and under the arbitrariness of Captain Aum, the contract sailed to the home planet of the engineer. The second mate of the bridge (beautiful) once reminded that this song is sent every 46 seconds. After the captain and his party landed, they also manually triggered this song on the engineer spacecraft, so on this lifeless planet, it was David The first part of his plan was to lure humans to land by sending this signal. After the group landed, Sergeant Lopp, an experienced and assertive crew member, first reminded everyone that there is a human crop - wheat, and then he noticed that the trees were uprooted and broken, there was something Scraped through the forest, Sergeant Lopp, with such keen observation, was also a crew member of the later GG (framed by David and died in the contract's medical cabin). Then there is the plot of the first batch of infected people dying one after another. I think in this part, a lot of shots in the medical cabin were cut out, which made the crew seem particularly mentally retarded. The second infected person, Tom and Sergeant Loop, was a gay couple, and Sergeant Loop should also be a believer. He kissed his dead lover while praying. The gunfight into the night ends with the appearance of David lit up with a flash bang, especially mysterious in his cape, and the flash bang lit up the sky, bringing a god-like glow of hope to the previously dark and tragic tension (however this is a FLAG). Note that David lit the flash bomb here to save the little white alien, because human laser guns can kill the little alien. For David, the latter is his treasure. He used flash bombs to attract everyone. The attention, letting them cease fire gave the little aliens a chance to escape. So when the little alien he was taming was mercilessly shot to death by Captain Orm, David was out of anger. After David led the crowd to the high platform, there was an interaction between him and Walter. This was his attempt to turn against Walter to help him accomplish his great cause. After repeated attempts, he realized that Walter was just a loyal lackey of human beings and could not stand. After that, he was determined to get rid of him. There is a NETA here. David led Walter to Elizabeth Shaw's cemetery. Before that, there was a picture of a high cypress tree swinging in the wind between two mountains in the dark. It was taken from Böcklin's painting "Die Toteninsel". There are several versions of this painting, and here is the first version. This painting depicts a small island with pines and cypresses on the Forgotten River. Charon, the king of Hades, sails in a boat carrying the spirits of the dead. In the next life, the metaphor that Aum and his party set foot on is the island of desperation.
And David recited Shelley's poems under the sound of pines and cypresses to satirize the demise of the engineer family (personally, I think the engineer family has not perished, the civilization of this home planet is not developed, and the ethnic group type is also far from the "Pu"). And every time David talks about Elizabeth Shaw or blows a dirge, there are tears in his eyes. In my opinion, this repeated reaction is very deliberate. Viewers will forget that David is a robot and see him as a villain full of bad water. David is not a robot at all, he is imitating humans all the time, and I will discuss that at the end. This was followed by the unfolding of Captain Aum and David, who was ruthlessly interrupted by Captain Aum when he "communicated" with the white alien that had successfully escaped. The poster of this film is a mature alien looking at David, just like a shepherd taming an animal.
In David's eyes, he is the highest, aliens are the ultimate creations, pets/weapons raised by him, and humans are the existence he is determined to deny. In his eyes, humans are flesh and blood but only fodder for aliens. As he said, aliens are perfect organisms. This evaluation is also said by the bionic man Ash in the first "Alien" in 1979. He praised aliens as "pure, unconstrained by morality, and perfect organisms", so great In addition to destroying the human race he despised, Wei's series of actions is to strengthen his alien army. He takes Captain Orm to the cellar where the xenomorph eggs are kept to complete the epiphyte of the facehugger. Before the mature alien (the black variety with long fins on the back) broke its belly, Orm asked "what do you believe" Human, his father Wieland, a smart but arrogant straight maniac, and David imitated this, Wieland felt that his own wisdom was able to create, to develop, and to be arrogant. David inherited this, so the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, he also stepped on Wieland under his feet, and got rid of Wieland with the hands of the engineer. David's pride and the characteristics of the entire human race are the same, feeling that he is the spirit of all things, above all, which is completely consistent with David's chauvinism. In the film, he expressed his contempt for human beings countless times. When Lopp and the black signal soldiers tossed the signal on the top of the mountain, they asked David how long the storm would last. David held his head high and said "days, weeks, months", as if to put human Play on the palm of your hand. This kind of pride is criticized, so it makes David so bad, but he won't have a good outcome I don't think. At the beginning of the film, Wieland asked him what your name was, and David said "David" in front of Michelangelo's masterpiece David, which depicts King David of Israel, and the name means "David". Beloved", as shown in the picture David Robot is also loved by Wieland. King David was brilliant, but he was extremely miserable. He plundered his wife Bathsheba and caused countless misfortunes (David also loves to engage in wives: Elizabeth Shaw, Dany), and his beloved son Absalom raped his concubine and robbed him in front of him. The throne died unexpectedly. David's bionic man seems to be able to destroy the world, but he is faced with an embarrassing fact. His birth was despised by him, and his domineering and arrogant actions will inevitably have a tragic ending. Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, who has the most steadfast faith in "Prometheus", was deeply appreciated by David and lived to the end, which can be described as the victory of faith and the brilliance of divinity; and the Aum ship, which repeatedly emphasized her faith in "Contract" Chang paid a cruel price for the entire Covenant, which was the destruction of faith and the haunt of the devil. Finally, let me say a few points off the field. Another reason why "Contract" is sprayed by many audiences is that the heroine is too ugly. Although I haven't watched her other movies, it is really inappropriate to use her in this "Contract". The heroine of the Alien series has always been tough and determined. Even the heroine scientist and actress Noomi Rapace in "Pu" is handsome and compelling (she starred in the original "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and broke people in minutes), and Dany? The round, mournful and ordinary figure simply makes people see no hope, and there is no bright aura of bravery and perseverance.
In addition, the group special effects in the film (the falling of the black water tank and the crowd of engineers) are used a lot by Lao Lei in "Pharaoh and the Gods" (intensive fear), and the previous alien series did not have such pictures.
I hope that everyone will not stop watching the movie because many people complained that the movie was deleted. I am very worried that this kind of R18 movie will not be introduced in the future.
