After watching it, I think Prometheus is a good literary film.

After watching "Prometheus", I desperately want to make up for the "Alien" series that I haven't watched.

I remember watching "Alien 1" on TV when I was in junior high school. At that time, I didn’t feel terrified when I watched this film. On the contrary, I felt curious. The story of the turning point, every time the person who sniped the alien disappeared without a trace, these elements surprised me, maybe since then, I have established the characteristics of my science and technology man. . .

Later, I watched "Prometheus" and then read the introductions of various "Alien" series, only to realize that this is Cameron's work, and I immediately looked for it and collected it without hesitation.

Now it seems that the film is really nostalgic. Seeing the model design, universe performance, and various technologies of the movie at that time, I feel that people’s technological imagination changes are really interesting. At the time, people thought or liked the future weapons. The design of He Technology is more complicated, rather than the simplicity, streamline and miniaturization of today. Perhaps, at the time, people thought that the mobile phone of the future was something like a Swiss Army knife, instead of the single-screen ultra-thin design that only has one button today. In this way, human imagination is really terrifying and limited, and it is really difficult to predict what the future will look like.

The plot of the film is a typical "Alien" plot: something happened-investigation-found out alien-and alien fight-the whole army wiped out Orz. . . In fact, "Prometheus" is also the plot, so "Prometheus" can be regarded as a work of the old director returning to his own. When Signey was young, he was indeed very temperamental and heroic. The panties that occasionally exposed were also a bit sexy, and the little girls were also cute to the extreme. The director used a few details, I suggest that the majority of film workers learn, not Plagiarism is learning.

As for the brutality, it is the naive army. Those soldiers feel like a group of kindergarten children going to climb the mountain, and then go into various situations. The words "don't fight unprepared battles" should be regarded as the default option for adults. , Elementary and middle school students also know that they need to review and do exercises before the exam. Having mastered the alien's main attack method, he went to the front line naked with his mouth wide open. It can only be said that either the screenwriter was deliberate, or in reality these soldiers are just wine and rice bags. Alien now looks like a strong acid + sharp tail and hands, and its power is not much higher than that of a suicide bomber who rushes over.

It seems that there are not many scenes in "Alien", and it must be torn in half. Only in this way can it be shown that he is a biochemical person. In "Prometheus", the biochemical man became the protagonist, which may also be the director's wish to shift the theme.

After watching this film, I think "Prometheus" is a literary film, it is a foreplay without climax, or that there are too many foreplays and the actual combat part takes less than 2 minutes. The three elements of the alien: the biohazard, the heroine, and the alien are all in place, the story mode of a fixed routine, the biohazard is too heavy, and the whole film has no other eye-catching lenses except for the beautiful scenes. However, after all, the director is not Kashen, not Michael Bay. It's interesting to think of it. Some people dislike those directors who can only make big scenes, while dislike some films that don't have big scenes.

    The first one has a sense of loneliness like "2001: A Space Odyssey", and this one is full of hard science fiction. Cameron didn't use his brains, and later "Avatar" completely copied the weapons, planes and robots here.

    How could it be such a turtle. The difference between Scott's Alien and Cameron's Alien is the distance between a Porsche 911 and a farming tractor.
