Sort out the clues and ambiguities in this film



(1) The hibernation cabinets are



distributed throughout the ship and are arranged according to their positions. There are 3 crew members in groups, and each group works for 2 years. There are 3 behind the command warehouse. A hibernation cabinet is provided for the next group of 3 people.



(2) Timeline



2174 The spacecraft set off in



2180 Gallo started on duty (calculated based on his being the 4th team). During his duty, the earth was destroyed, so the time of earth destruction It should be between 2180 and 2182 when



Gallo will resume hibernation. The exact time is unknown, but since he was a young man on duty, he is now a middle-aged man, so he should have been on the boat for 20 to 30 years. hibernating



2297 spacecraft, arrived at the purpose of the planet and sank



3097 years Bower, who escaped overboard



(3) awakening time



could have been awakening is controlled by the computer, the person awakening to the automatic awakening, another spacecraft, the destination After that, everyone will be automatically awakened.



However, the awakening function is destroyed by two factors.



One is that Gallo artificially destroys the awakening time of some people, such as the awakening time of the 5th team. The



second is that the reactor has a problem in the later stage, the power system Malfunction, so someone will be awakened randomly.



(4) Lieutenant



Payton Payton is a member of the 5th team and is about to replace Gallo's next group. The automatic awakening function of his group was stopped by Gallo, after dozens of Years later, Gallo got tired of it, so he removed Payton from the hibernation locker and went to hibernate in the locker.



Bower originally knew Payton, but he didn’t recall it temporarily because of his memory loss. Gallo who came out of the Payton cabinet mistakenly thought it was Payton. Later, he recognized Payton’s wife’s cabinet in the hibernation cabinet of the Human Resources Department and recalled her name. Marianne, also remembered Payton, so he realized that he saw that Payton was a fake



(5) The chef



was the dirty guy. Why would he know about Gallo and what happened in the command post?



Gallo will be two All colleagues have been killed, and there should be no one else knowing what happened. So this is one of the doubts.



(6)



According to the female biologist, the person who wakes up only needs to live long enough in the boat. Will mutate into an alien, but why doesn’t the chef who have awakened for a long time not become an alien?



(7) Gallo awakens multiple times, assuming



Gallo is likely to have awakened more than once.



Gallo, who first recovered his memory, did not feel the alien on the ship Unfamiliar, it took him 20 or 30 years from the beginning of his destruction to hibernation. This time was not enough for passengers to mutate and form alien forms.



Secondly, he was not surprised when he saw the voyage time, indicating that he might have known that the spaceship had arrived. The destination.



Moreover, the woman said that the reactor on the ship can continue to work until the children of their children, that is, three generations. It is good for 300 years, and then the energy will gradually decay. From the earth to the destination planet In 123 years, the reactor should still be working when the spacecraft arrives.



Combining the above three items, you can make an assumption: Gallo sets his own awakening time to reach the goal, because the reactor is still working at that time, so the computer can wake him up normally on time. After he wakes up, watch The alien on the ship has reached the fact that the spaceship has arrived, but because of the things he has done, he is afraid of being settled, so he dare not release the rest of the hibernation cabinet, and he himself does not want to go out (the ship entered later). He didn’t plan to run away in the water), so he went into hibernation again after a while, until the beginning of the film.



(8)



Imagine yourself without the chains of your morality.

You'd even surprise yourself.

It's the ultimate freedom.



imagine, if you can get rid of all moral shackles, will get the ultimate freedom to



imagine, if there are tens of thousands of people's lives in your hands, you have absolute control over them, master of life and death, how would you do? If you are the only person in the world, do you still need to retain humanity?



Gallo in this film is in such a situation, he is a freely active person among human beings at that time, and all the moral norms of human society It doesn’t apply anymore. He wants whoever dies to die. Gallo is the norm of mankind, Gallo is the god, and human nature has no meaning to him



because good and evil are relative, and they need reference objects, if There is only one person left, there is no reference, and naturally there is no good and evil.
