1. At the beginning of the main film, during the conversation between David and his father, a painting of "The Birth of Jesus" appeared. Add in the songs that David plays, and already hints at what's going on in this movie.
2. In the movie's promotional video, the heroine's boyfriend (ie the original captain, the first to die) puts a sackcloth shawl on his shoulders in a shape that resembles Jesus. Plus the clip aka "The Last Supper" (the 5-minute clip shows 13 crew members having a meal together), it's very religious.
3. In the main film, the trademark used by Wieland Company is displayed many times, which is very similar to the ancient Iranian god "Ahura", and Ahura was the supreme god and god of wisdom in ancient Iran, so it can be seen that Wieland Company Godly ambition.
4. In the feature film and the promotional film, the black water that David poured down on the planet where the engineer is located is a metaphor for the destruction of the world by the great flood in the Bible.
5. "Alien-Contract", originally called "Alien-Paradise Lost". In the Alien Covenant movie, David asks Watt: Are you going to be a slave in heaven or a king in hell? And in Paradise Lost, there is a saying: It is better to be a king in hell than a slave in heaven. It implies that David wants hell to be king.
6. The destination Origae-6, which the contract number is going to reach, is actually LV-426 in Alien. First disassemble Origae into Orig-ae, and Orig, which means the beginning in Chinese, has 4 letters. AE, the abbreviation of Alien Encounters, means alien contact in Chinese, with two letters. So it adds up to 426, implying that Origae-6 is the original alien contact planet LV-426.
7. The song "Ryan's Gold" in the film shows that only those who give up love can have a ring with the power to rule the world. This explains why David wants Dr. Shaw, who needs humans to research new alien species and gain god-like creativity. In the story, the gods asked the giants for help in order to build the temple, but not only did they fail to fulfill the previous covenant, but also deceived the ring made by the gnomes, and finally led the gods into the magnificent new temple. This story of betrayal is actually what happened in Alien-Contract. At the end of the film, David orders the spacecraft computer to play the song, which echoes the beginning and end.

Many people say that in the movie, the IQ of all the crew members is 0, so let me give an example of two science fiction films that were highly rated before. , It
is estimated that the IQ of 0 in the movie "Prometheus" is only the two scientists who have contact with the hammer worm (like the white-eyed snake).
There are not a few scientists with an IQ of 0 in the movie "Interstellar". One of them knew that one hour to Julangxing was equivalent to 7 years on Earth, and they still had to go, knowing that the environment of Bingxing was too bad to save their teammates.
So let me talk about the IQ of those people in "Contract".
A total of 15 crew members (including the cyborg Watt),
the 1st, male, the original captain, the heroine's boyfriend, died from a stellar flare. There's nothing to say about this.
The second, male, accidentally stepped on the black "spores", and was caught in the ear by black floats, and finally died of the birth of the broken back of the white alien. This shouldn't be about intelligence.
The third, female, was locked up in the infirmary and killed by the white alien. In fact, she wanted to escape, but couldn't.
The 4th, female, shot the oxygen tube with a gun in order to kill the white alien, and the explosion occurred. As a result, she was killed, and the white alien escaped. IQ 50.
The 5th, male, was born with black floats into the nose and died of a broken chest of the white alien. This IQ is 50. In Prometheus, the crew members will tease it when they encounter the "hammer bug". This IQ is halved when they come into contact with immobile creatures (spores). So the IQ is 50.
The sixth, male, was killed by the white alien, seconds after Watt's hand was bitten off by the white alien.
The seventh, female, was killed by the White Alien while washing her hands at David's house. Out of trust in David, this is not a question of IQ.
The eighth, male, was tricked into offering sacrifices by David, parasitized by the face-hugging bug, and died of an alien-shaped broken chest. David said: Absolutely safe. This IQ is 50. If David doesn't tell him that he is safe, then his IQ is 0.
The ninth, male, was killed by a mature alien in the sacrificial chamber.
The 10th, the cyborg, Watt, was killed by David?
When everyone thought the alien was dead, another alien appeared on the spaceship.
The 11th, male, was burnt half of his face by a face bug before, and was killed by an alien in the medical room.
The 12th and 13th, men and women in the bathroom, were killed. While loving and listening to music, where will you hear what the radio broadcasts?
Therefore, there are a few with an IQ of 50, and almost none with an IQ of 0. In "Contract", a total of 4 aliens appear. In Alien-Covenant, among the 15 crew members, 3 people died when they encountered a white alien for the first time, and 3 people died when they encountered the second white alien. The first time I met a classic alien, 2 people died. When everyone felt that the alien was dead, the alien appeared again, and 3 people died. So it's not like some netizens get "self-initiated group destruction".
Finally finished writing, if you analyze it further, you will find a lot of details like Lao Lei (director Ridley).
So I think "Alien-Covenant" is the best sci-fi film of the year, bar none.
