Battered woman... no reaction?

I know this is a very short clip (at most, 1 second), but I've always felt like the 3 people who are in the med lab (David, wheelchair guy, don't know who the other guy is) are not reacting to the battered woman (Rapace?) collapsing in front of them. It's almost as if they were expecting her in this state. Again, it could be me as this is a short clip, but if you use Quick Time in 1080p and go frame by frame (~10 frames), you see no reaction/movement from the 3 people. Plus, the woman is several feet within the room and if the door was closed before she entered, their gaze would more likely be directed at the door to see who is entering. What are your thoughts?

I guess when you see something you're totally not expecting it might take more than a second or two to analyze and react.

Happens to me at work all the time - I see or hear something that is so incredibly stupid it takes my brain 10 to 15 seconds to convince itself that what just happened was real.

Maybe they don't notice the blood until after she is lying on the floor? And I'm not ready to link this scene with the bed scene either -- why is the guy vomitting? Disgusted at his own actions? Or someone else's? Why isn't there any blood on the bed?

I know this is going to sound strange, but I'm not 100% convinced it's blood all over her. I'm no Dexter so forgive my blood splatter analysis, but it seems really concentrated on her hands, feet, and elbows (and maybe even her knees). Almost looks like she was crawling/dragged through something. As dark as her feet are, I would expect to see some bloody footprints as well if it was blood. Again, it's probably blood.. But something seems off about it. I've see post where people think this image takes place after she gives birth to whatever is in her belly. If she just gave birth "naturally", I would think underpants would be more bloody (gross I know). If she gave birth unnaturally.. I would think that would have killed her. @Gehirm I didn't notice any vomit. Are you talking about the scene where the guy is sitting on the edge of the bed with his elbows on his knees?

Yes Jeff, it's very subtle but the man is spitting/vomitting (his arms block most of it from view). @Frantz I'm sure there's no blood on the bed either. Just thought it was important to differentiate between the blood on her back in one scene and the bruises she has in another.

.....she looks so spastic....i mean her whole pose....abnormal....but it was taken as she collapses, which probably explains it....those stains could also be anything....so she might have been crawling threw some dirty tunnel or air duct or something..... I seriously doubt it has anything to do with any kinda birth...u don't just put on your soiled panties and go run around after giving birth...does'nt make sense IMO.

I also am intrigued by her outfit (stasis or medical tests clothing?). I'm inclined to think she was on Prometheus when she got her clothes covered in whatever it is.

(probably not based on the hair color and length, but you never know) [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jyy2ZCqcCb0/TvjrWqaGU7I/AAAAAAAAB-4/tJqiOFd3xaw/s1600/Banner_Prometheus_Nude+Theron.png.jpg[/img]

I have animated gifs [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/468&page=6]here[/url] where you can match the rails seen in inflating stomach gif with the Noomi in pain gif. Don't think it is Vickers although they could use the same bed I suppose. Think when you see them all together it becomes more obvious they are all apart of the same scene.

Thanks Biomechanic. What I meant was Theron [i]might[/i] be the battered woman, not the "pregnant" woman. I say this because, in her famous push ups picture, she appears to be wearing at least the breast coverage/wraps of the "stasis/medical" clothing that we see on the battered woman.

Yeah could be. With all the bad stuff that happens in space no wonder they can only find space truckers willing to go.

Membrane, you're right about the distance she has made through the door and into the room (which looks like a mental asylum btw) What the hell are those 3 doing exactly?!? Looks like a scene from 'One who flew over the cuckoo's nest' - they don't seem to give a shit what's happening.

The gun... that's a perfect way to describe them. It does feel like they are some of the mentally unbalanced in "One Flew..." (dressed in all white nonetheless). Maybe the battered woman is Nurse Ratched. :-) Seriously though, I'm curious as hell about this scene to see if there will be any "normal" reaction from these 3 guys.

We at are assuming pregnancy and or alterations by the SJ/alien. Maybe the humans are the real monsters experimenting on Shaw?
