Walter and David, who are the last cyborgs on the Covenant? I swiped the contract number two times today. Regarding the final biochemical reversal, I think Lao Lei may have left a bigger foreshadowing. Let’s start with two discussions on the Internet: 1. David scrapped Walter and cut himself on the ship in disguise. 2. David and Walter reached an agreement. A certain consensus was reached, and they defected. Regarding the first article, it is also a relatively mainstream idea after reading it. Some people say that Walter has self-healing ability, but David doesn't. The evidence is that when the two were fighting, David pulled something out of Walter's body and there was a close-up with a shimmering neck.) I don't think this close-up is meant to show that Walter has Self-healing ability, but mainly said that his switch was turned off. In this way, he later said that the models behind us have been upgraded, and the subtext is that I have a backup power supply or programs such as automatic startup, which is more in line with this context. I watched the fight between the two very carefully. When Walter came back to save the heroine, he was indeed scratched on the right side of his face by a knife during the fight with David, revealing the white gel inside, and there was no sign of healing in the 5 seconds of the close-up. Another detail that confirms this is that the heroine returned to the mothership after the attack and saw Walter repairing herself. If Walter had self-healing ability, she must have found David and ganged up here. Such a rigorous film will not make such a low-level mistake. After all, the script has been written for so long, I still believe in Lao Lei's gatekeeping. After all, for a very simulated biochemical person like him, it would be very awkward if he had a conspicuous switch on his body. It might be designed to be hidden under the skin. (similar to the genital sac structure of the sperm whale's jj) So I tend to think that the last cyborg who boarded the ship was indeed Walter. So why would Walter do this? ? Did he actually defect from David in the end? I don't think so either. From the very beginning of the movie, the people on the Covenant were all kind to Walter. When the captain scolded Walter when he suffered a solar flare, sister Faris also came out to speak for him (just bad luck). All kinds of behaviors are to outline the scene that human beings are very friendly to him. The conversation between David and Walter is very interesting. I hope to analyze it one by one after the Blu-ray is released, but first let me tell you what I remember. David talks to him about love and creation. They both exchanged some opinions, and when David said he loved Dr. Shaw, Walter said: "You and I both know that's impossible. Then David cut him off to save the mistress The incident shows that there is also love between Walter and the heroine, and Walter says that is a responsibility. At this point David said: I know better than you (your feelings for her). From the point of view of our human emotions, the duty to protect is not a kind of love. There are thousands of kinds of love in the world. A soldier sheds his blood to protect his family and the country. Besides his final duty, is it not a kind of great love? Yet this great love is based on the voluntary sacrifice of the individual. When it comes to willingness, it is necessary to talk about whether Walter has an ego. "Ozymandias" [English] Translated by Percy Shelley: Zhang Chongyin I once met a traveller from a distant ancient country who said: "Without the body, two huge stone legs stand in the desert... Nearby, there is still half of it." Covering the face of a broken stone statue. His frowning, wrinkled lips, and the contempt and indifference between his fingers showed that the sculptor had penetrated the lust and desire that the master had left in the stone carving so far. The hand that was engraved was obliterated, and the heart turned to ashes, On that pedestal, vaguely could be seen the following inscription: "I am Ozymandias, King of Kings, behold my great deeds, heroes, beyond my reach! ' And nothing else remains. Around this huge ruin, there is only a desolation left, and it is boundless, this flat sand is lonely, the loneliness that stretches into the distance... While reading Ozymandias' psalm, David reads the first half of the psalm until the end of his career, accompanied by a fragment of David's destruction of the engineer and Walter reads the remaining lines of the psalm There is a kind of sadness in the words. The Qin and Han dynasties are all made of dirt. This poem has a double innuendo. First, it can refer to the brilliant achievements of the engineer. In the end, it is also returned to the dust by David's behavior. On the one hand, speaking through Walter's mouth has a sense of warning to David. It means that your destruction of the engineer and the so-called creation, which you think is a miracle like a creator, may also end up in vain. After all, although David is an immortal artificial intelligence, of course, he is not incapable of physical destruction. In addition to this poem, Walter ends up saying to David "Ozymandias was written by Shelley, and a single wrong note ruins the whole movement" This statement is special because Walter and David The way he speaks is very different, and Walter speaks very short and concise sentences throughout the film, and most of them are statements of fact. But David often uses metaphors and other complex rhetoric when speaking. If I remember correctly, this sentence is Walter's first metaphor in the film. I don't know if the metaphor is creative and self-expression, but it seems to reveal Walter's desire to protect human beings even when he has a self. So I don't think Walter will defect to David at all. There is no foreshadowing at all, and the sequel currently being produced is also a matter between the two parts of the Pope. It is impossible to leave such a big hole unfilled. Then the person in the spaceship is neither David nor Walter, so why did the biochemical person end up here in the end? I tend to think that Walter was hacked by David, that body was indeed Walter's, (David's consciousness shifted to Walter's body) or the consciousness of the two merged. It is mentioned in the film that Walter's body has been upgraded, that is, the hardware is better than David's. After winning Walter, he can occupy his body by the way, which is much easier than hurting himself? Before the heroine goes to bed, when she asks Walter what the future colony will be like, David (Walter) says If we are kind to people, they will be kind to us too. How this sentence is like David summed up Walter in this whole movie. In the cognitive awakening of artificial intelligence (Adam and Eve eat the fruit of good and evil), they know both the evil of human nature (people in Prometheus are not friendly to David) and the good of human nature (contract No. and Walter have a good time) The realization of the goodness of human nature is definitely from Walter's meme. This leads me to believe that some part of Walter must still be in this body. Affecting David, after all, for living things, what can be inherited is genes, and inorganic things like artificial intelligence may pay more attention to the inheritance of memes! The last title of the film is covenant. In the Bible, David and Jonathan once made a promise to never forsake their friendship. Recalling that David said to Walter a bunch of things like I love you the most, and what kind of things I did, maybe it's another hint that the relationship between the two is not just a simple hostility. That's all I can think of for the time being, after all, I'm watching the castrated version... When will I be able to watch the full version, I'll check and fill in the gaps. After I finished writing, I realized that my point of view seems to be no longer new, but I have already written it and posted it. After all, it is my first film review... It is the result of my deep love for Fa Shark... If you don't like it, don't spray it. , thanks here.

There is one more supporting argument to add:
In the end, the shark used both David and Walter execution codes on the boat. How he obtained Walter's code was a very important issue. Walter hadn't said anything about codenames in front of him. I can't think of any reason other than hacking Walter.
