MemberOvomorphOct-08-2012 2:22 AMPrometheus isn't the first time Ridley Scott's attempted a SYNTHETIC LANGUAGE in a sci-fi context - we of course all remember his Cityspeak from Blade Runner. So...
1) we have the hand on head
2) we have the sniffing hand
3) we have the synthetic language
4) we have a quest for more life
what other POINTS OF VISUAL/CONCEPTUAL REFERENCE are shared by the Prometheus and Blade Runner films?
And no I don't think the two universes NEED to combine (for either Pro~2 or Bla~Run~2), but it's just the way Ridley's mind works, I guess - God being in the details, as evolution describes mankind, retrospectively.

MemberOvomorphOct-10-2012 6:44 AMit is not synthetic, it is hungarian + german
kövessen kérem (hungarian) = follow me please
bitte (german) = please
hungarian could be because actor Olmos had hungarian ancestors.

but that's not my point, it's an [i]Engineered Language[/i], like the Engineer's Language.
