Respuesta: Sir Scott vuelve a Alien, o no: Prometheus
¿LOST?
This film is good. Indeed, imperfect, but still, good.
There is many thing I want to say about this film, and I'm really happy to discuss with you about it.
I think that some of the viewers today were disappointed because they waited too long. Or maybe because they were waiting something else !
Prometheus is not another Alien film. You really need to understand that.
That's really different.
Of course there are references, monsters, etc. But that's not the point of this film. This film is about the origins of life and its purpose. What for ? Why ? Why life ?
Somebody said once that big questions have big answers but that's not the point of the film either.
Prometheus is about the frustration of not being able to understand some horrible things or not accepting the truth.
I was saying on Twitter (the translation of my tweets was not totally good) that the Ridley Scott film, written by Lindelof (LOST, don't forget LOST !) was about... A love story. Well, not a love story... But a Love History.
Have you ever felt in love with someone and not being able to understand why you did have these feelings ? Not being able to understand your own body about that ? Your own emotions ?
That's the parabol of this film.
And what if I told you that the one you love doesn't love you anymore... What if I told you that the one you love plan to destroy you... What if I told you that the one you love plan to replace you by someone else...
Have you ever had these feelings ?
THIS is the film is about.
But it's going further and further until... a sequel, and now I hope that they will do this.
This is really different of Alien.
The monsters in the film were almost unnecessary. It's all in the plot. The story.
It's all about all of these questions. All about the characters and the meaning of their relationships.
I think that the only problems that remain are from the original treatment when this film was still an Alien prequel. I do think that the best thing that they could do is breaking away from Alien.
The consequences from this ? The supporting characters are not developed enough, some things are not explained, etc.
But the story is strong enough to get over it and enjoy this epic adventure with big Lostian questions.
I can't write everything that I found in this movie which is really deep and different. But if you have questions, I would be happy to give you answers.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
