Alien Prequel 2 "Contract" arrived as scheduled, and I went to the theater to watch this film today. I can't help but say that although I was devastated by the scissors hand of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for 6 minutes, Mr. Lei still made me wait for "Alien". There are a lot of tribute shots in the film, as well as the hypothetical subversive concept proposed by Mr. Lei himself, which makes people's minds open, so "Contract" is a good movie, and it is an excellent kind. At the end of the first "Prometheus", the biochemical man David and the female doctor Elizabeth Shaw set off to the home planet where the engineer is located, and after David killed Dr. Xiao, he killed the engineer's family, which shows that David is no longer ordinary. It has become a biochemical human, but it has evolved and become a high-level life above its creator. In other words, it has become a god at this time. At the beginning of the film, when the biochemical man David was created, he asked his creator Weiland: You created me, so who created you? Weiland answers that we will find answers together. This shows that David already had the ability to think when he was created, and human beings are the hands that open this Pandora's Box. In the same way, why did engineers create human beings, but are eager to destroy human beings? Maybe they have higher logical thinking and code of conduct, but they have one thing in common, that is, the creator will never allow to be surpassed by his own creation! If it exceeds, it is equivalent to suicide. I remember that after Skynet derived wisdom in "Terminator", it also has the same setting, that is, the same kind of people who go out to perform tasks are set to read-only mode from the beginning, just obey orders, and the generation of thinking is strictly prohibited. Therefore, the engineer is finally killed by the creature of creation, while the fate of human beings is held in the hands of the biochemical man created by himself. Nietzsche has a saying that when human beings think, God laughs, that is because the creator sneered when he saw that the ants he created were beyond their own capabilities. Human beings play the role of God in front of artificial intelligence and become arrogant. However, the rapid development of artificial intelligence makes people stunned. Maybe one day, we will really be defeated by our own creations, and we will fall or die. The plot of "Covenant" closely follows the previous "Prometheus", starting from ten years after the Prometheus spacecraft lost contact, another Covenant immigrant spacecraft received Dr. Shaw's singing in space, so Go and find out. Originally thought it was the second episode of the prequel, but only after reading it did I realize that it was another prequel trilogy. Can only continue to look forward to the third part. The scientific research spacecraft Prometheus, the immigration spacecraft Covenant, and the transport spacecraft Nosmo are still a movie away. I hope that Mr. Lei fills up this pit soon, and doesn't make us wait so long. At the beginning of the film, David used the piano to play the second act of Wagner's opera Valkyrie, "The Gods Enter the Hall of Valor", and at the end of the film, this majestic symphony sounded, and David entered the human hibernation zone, like a god. In Norse mythology, the heroic spirits of the warriors are led by the Valkyrie into the Hall of Valor and are personally received by the god of war Odin. There is a pig and sheep in the hall that will be resurrected the next day after being killed. Eat and drink in it, and then fight each other, waiting for the final battle with Zeus, which is the battle of Ragnarok. The implication is self-evident. David used humans to raise aliens, waiting for the decisive battle with his creator. Although it is about a time of crisis for human beings, when I think of the third part, I can't help but tremble with excitement! Ridley. Scott also has a movie that fans are most looking forward to this year, and that is "Blade Runner 2" after 35 years, and the status of this movie in the world movie world is self-evident, and it doesn't need to be explained at all. Ideas and philosophy are there. It is also a story about the evolution of artificial intelligence. The difference is that humans play the role of megalomaniac in it. And that classic line seems to be equally deafening today, full of ridicule to human beings and helplessness to their own near-infinite life: I have seen you human beings absolutely unbelievable, the battleship ignited on the shoulders of the Orion constellation The blazing fire, C-rays crossed the 'Tanweather's Gate' in the dark universe, but all these moments will disappear in time, like tears in the rain. . . Finally, I want to say, Scissorhands of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, can I swear at you? !
