The REAL Meaning of the Sacrifice

MemberOvomorphJune 18, 20121580 Views12 RepliesSo, I finally figured out the true meaning of the Engineer sacrifice. It is completely symbolic.
The Engineer represents the movie Prometheus [i]could have been[/i]. His flawless physique = epic film masterpiece.
The black goo represents Damon Lindelof's script.
When the Engineer (the potential film) ingests the goo (the Lindelof script) he becomes a complete mess, literally falling apart, utterly destroyed.
Perhaps the giant spaceship is symbolic of intelligence, which vanishes from the film within the first 5 minutes. Haven't figured that one out yet.
