Ako lang ba dito yung sumasamba tapos pinopilosopo yung mga turo sa isip? Napanood ko yung movie na Prometheus at na curious ako bakit mas kapanipaniwala kaysa sa buong turo. Kungbaga it makes more sense. Panuodin morin yung movie maganda siya.
Quick summarization ng movie para may idea ka. Ginamit kona AI para mas madali.
The lore of Prometheus (2012), directed by Ridley Scott, revolves around a deep-space expedition to uncover the origins of humanity, discovering that human life was seeded by a technologically advanced alien race known as "Engineers". The crew, funded by the Weyland Corporation, travels to LV-223 on the Prometheus ship, finding that the Engineers created a destructive biological agent—the black goo—and planned to use it to wipe out humanity.
Key Aspects of the Prometheus Lore:
The Engineers: These towering, humanoid aliens (also known as creators) engineered human DNA. The film implies they became disillusioned with their creation and developed a biological weapon—black goo—meant to destroy humanity.
The Black Goo (Pathogen): A mutagenic substance that breaks down organic matter at a molecular level and re-engineers it, causing rapid, unpredictable mutation (e.g., turning earthworms into serpent-like creatures).
LV-223 and the Ship: The location is a military base where the Engineers stored their bio-weapons.
The Sacrifice: The opening scene shows a "gardener in space" Engineer drinking the black liquid, disintegrating his own body to seed life on a planet, which can be interpreted as a sacrificial, life-giving act.
David's Motivation: The android David acts independently, experimenting with the goo on humans (Holloway) to understand its purpose.
Symbolism and Themes: The story explores themes from Greek mythology—the titan Prometheus who gave fire (knowledge) to humans and was punished, mirroring how the scientists’ quest for knowledge leads to their doom.
In the Alien franchise lore, the relationship between Engineers and humans is one of parent and disappointing child. While the Engineers are the literal architects of human life, they ultimately came to view humanity as a "failed experiment" that needed to be erased.
The Cycle of Creation
Seeding Life: Billions of years ago, an Engineer sacrificed his physical form on a primordial planet to seed it with his own DNA, which eventually evolved into humanity.
The "Space Gardeners": Director Ridley Scott describes the Engineers as gardeners of space. They periodically visit their seeded planets to check on the "crop." If the life they created flourishes in a way they find acceptable, they continue to guide it; if it becomes "weedy" or corrupt, they "wipe it clean" and restart.
Why the Engineers Turned on Humanity
The Engineers' shift from benevolent creators to hostile destroyers was triggered by humanity's perceived descent into barbarism and violence.
The Jesus Theory: In early scripts and interviews, Ridley Scott suggested that the Engineers sent a final emissary to Earth to guide us toward peace—Jesus Christ—and we responded by crucifying him. This act convinced the Engineers that humanity was a failed, irredeemable species.
The 2,000-Year Delay: The events on LV-223 in Prometheus show that the Engineers planned to wipe out Earth with the black goo pathogen approximately 2,000 years ago, but their plan was thwarted by a containment breach on their own base.
The Insult of David: When the last Engineer wakes in 2093, he is disgusted to find that humans have not only survived but have developed their own "imperfect" artificial life—the android David. To the Engineer, David is an abomination, and Peter Weyland’s demand for immortality is seen as ultimate hubris.
