Prometheus untangled

Hi everyone! I've seen 'Prometheus' yesterday and I can tell you that the film was totally worth the wait! I wouldn't say it will make you forget the originals but comparing to today's Syfy films, it surely stands comparison! You'll find my understanding of the plot within these lines. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I can show you the doors which lead to some of them. [b]/! If you haven't seen 'Prometheus', you might want to stop here and go back to the home page. /![/b] Here are the scenes that may be confusing: - [b]The opening scene:[/b] according to me, what we witness after the opening credits is a sacrificial ritual. We see a ship departing from an unknown planet. One of the crew members is left behind. He wears a kind of sacrificial toga, and takes it off before drinking what appears to be a lethal solution which eventually kills him. One may wonder why this sacrificial ritual? I think that the 'creator' guys move from planet to planet and perform this ritual. They do this ritual in order to breed new life forms. Could it be that the planet is the Earth? - [b]Giant head in the rock:[/b] The creators came to the planet where the ship Prometheus lands. The carved a head in a rocky mountain to "show off". We came, we conquered! -[b] David's experiment:[/b] Why the heck does David the robot contaminate Pr Holloway on purpose? The answer lies within these lines: "How far would you go to get your answers.. what would you be willing to do?". David's experiment is one way of satisfying his curiosity. And yes, the robot is curious! [b]- The cargo of the creators' ship (the jars):[/b] This is a tricky one. In my opinion, the jars are either weapons the creators have found on another planet or weapons they have designed. - [b]The video that David tries to send:[/b] The video of a girl playing violin is also seen at the end of the film, on the walls of the safety capsule. Could it be a young Pr Shaw playing violin? But why would David want to send it? Honestly, I chuck up the sponge here! Any thoughts on the video? - [b]The last of the creator:[/b][b][/b] Why is the creator angry? Why does he want to beat the crap out of everyone? When he awakes, he's disoriented but he quickly stands up. He then meets the crew of Prometheus.. When he hears David talking to him.. I think he's intrigued by David.. As he touches him he somehow realises that David is an artificial being.. at that moment, I think he's somehow jealous of the humans for having evolved and having been able to come to him. Maybe he interpreted David's abilities (the fact that he presumably speaks his language) as a sign of arrogance and couldn't stand it.. - [b]The new alien:[/b] A lot of people on the internet seem to wonder why the alien we see at the end does not look like the aliens we have learnt to know. To me, that's kinda odd because when you know that the alien is simply a newborn, no matter it will grow up and evolve into what we know. [b]What do you think? Does it make sense? I'll be thrilled to know your thoughts on my hypotheses. Please comment :)[/b]
