More likely, he wasn't going to give us answers at all. What he wanted to give was more questions, good questions and bad questions.
What he definitely wants to give is horror.
The above is the conclusion I came to after watching "Prometheus" and walking out of the theater after thinking about it for a long time.
Someone once said irresponsibly: a movie that can make the audience think and bring problems to the audience is a good movie.
After watching "Prometheus", we have to correct the above sentence: a movie that can make the audience think and cause problems to the audience is likely to be a good movie.
Because a movie that brings problems to the audience is not always a good movie, it depends on what kind of problems it leaves the audience.
If the question is: Is
the assumption of human origin (origin of life) explored in this film valid within the scope of this film?
What is the relationship between humans and robots?
Why are those "engineers" building those forts/ships?
Why did the "engineers" both create and destroy humans?
Is it possible for the DNA to match exactly?
Ridley turned out to be a creationist?
Was the opening at the end in preparation for the sequel or was it a philosophical gesture?
...
then this is a thought-provoking, seriously good movie.
If the question is:
How could the scientists and professionals on the spacecraft not know each other? Even if they are hired for money, they are professionals anyway, so how can they act like a motley crew? There is nothing mysterious about the purpose of the voyage, why didn't you tell them before?
Why did the whole ship land on the surface after the spaceship reached its destination? Shouldn't it be safe and common sense to leave the big ship in near-Earth space and send small boats such as exploration boats to inquire?
David is the robot guarding the ship. Why is he surprised that the ship has reached its destination? Shouldn't he know the itinerary like the back of his hand?
(The spaceship found the place it was looking for as soon as it arrived, this is a coincidence and let’s not talk about it) The expedition team entered the castle without showing the slightest professional attitude. The helmet was lifted when it was lifted, and things were touched if they were not touched. In a panic, he turned his head and left. Is this the kind of person who is looking for a project with an investment of hundreds of billions? Is space travel child's play?
Dr. Shaw ran around the world just after his caesarean, what happened? While women are inherently tough, they are overly tough. (My Peanut's explanation: It means that the machine is good and the medicine is good. Let's just listen to it) When the
two foolish "scientists" were killed, there was no one on duty in the spacecraft to monitor it. Although it was incredible, it was not a bug. The question is why No video?
...
Strictly speaking, such a question is not a question, but a question; it does not lead to thinking, but to play. Such a problem is caused by the imprecise script and casual character creation, which is not a good problem.
Prometheus has both types of problems, so I think it's a mixed bag. It also has some confusing questions, such as:
Why on earth did David subsidize Charlie's wine? Even if his design does not obey the three laws of robotics, there is no reasonable logic to support this move. At first I thought he was going to experiment with Charlie, because his boss made him try harder, but just risking the life of one team member and possibly threatening the safety of the entire team, didn't he think about it? My Peanuts think he hates Charlie because Charlie sneers a few times that he's a robot and he obviously has feelings. It can be explained, but I think that this is actually looking down on David. He should not be so stingy. Judging from his other words and deeds, he is a very knowledgeable creature with his own purpose. Just a few words will kill him. People, really not. Maybe the combination of the above two reasons is his motive?
Having said that, David is probably the most interesting character in the film. After he mastered dozens of ancient languages, he understood the language of "engineers". This is actually a bug, because who knows how the real ancient primitive language is pronounced? Assuming that 90 years later, people know, and then David understands, don't you think this robot is really better than blue? Well, this whole story might actually be driven by him behind the scenes. In the end, it was he who proposed that other spaceships existed. Well, maybe he poisoned Charlie for a completely unsuspected reason. With this development, he is likely to become the creator himself.
This can't help but remind me of Daniel in the "Robot Trilogy". The whole time I watched the film, I kept thinking: The perfect Daniel, Fassbender! You are the Daniel in my imagination. A perfect robot, with its own unique sense of mystery and charm. So in addition to the police, vampires, and superheroes, there is one more role that a good actor must play: robots.
Uh, off topic (or really getting into it), let me wrap up the film. I take "Prometheus" seriously, because it is produced by Ridley, and the shortcomings of this film cannot be ignored. The book is not well written, and it is not as solid as "Blade Runner". By Ridley's standards (note: it's Ridley's standards), it simply fails science fiction. Its advantage is that the scenes and pictures are very delicate and smooth, and it does raise some interesting propositions, but unfortunately there are no answers at all. What this film is really doing is the thrilling atmosphere and scenes, but it also sacrificed the shaping of many characters. It is also a confusing question whether the role of Sister Theron is necessary.
Originally, I was still confused why Guy Pearce was asked to play an old man, and he put a lot of effort into putting on makeup. Later, I found out that there was a promotional video that was a speech by the big boss when he was young, and Pearce played it very well. Maybe when the extended DVD comes out, we'll have footage of the big boss when he was young. Another promotional film "David 8" is also very good and worth watching. Is the name David sure not to pay tribute to "2001 A Space Odyssey"? The actor who plays Charlie looks like Tom Hardy.
I give it a 7, with 2 for Fassbender, 4 for the graphics, design and effects, and 1 for the music.
