Humans, on the other hand, can create life at will. Without dying in the process. How would the Prometheans view this? Would they think it natural, or dangerous? Apparently this emergency was related to the Xenomorphs, as we see a pile of dead, exploded bodies. What happened 2, years ago? But we know what happened here on Earth. And the movie takes place on Christmas day.
And we know Prometheans have been visiting Earth. Why would they be pissed 2, years ago, but not 35, years ago? Is it because we killed a Promethean? Did the Prometheans freak out when we crucified on of them, and return to Earth to recover him? Resurrect him? Ridley Scott is the same director who made Kingdom of Heaven. He made a movie about the conflict between religions, between man and religion. Ridley Scott sees the human race thusly; we have science and through science we improve our lives, or knowledge, everything.
Science and technology, he has said, make literally every aspect of human existance, better. Yet we have religion, which fucks everything up. Why do we have religion? Prometheus argues humans create religion because we do not understand the meaning of life.
We can create life without consequence. The Prometheans have to die to do it, not us. We can do it whenever we want. Because of this, we constantly search for meaning.
Was it by pure chance that terrestrial life was created by the engineers? They clearly returned to see us throughout our evolution to possibly realise we were not worth being created? Is there any evidence from the production team at Brandywine, or even Ridley Scott himself, to stop the speculations? If you look at the alternate beginning scene on the Blu-ray, you find that this was actually a sacrificial ceremony attended by multiple engineers.
Once the Engineer breaks up into tiny pieces and falls into the river, you're shown a few extra seconds of footage that explains that the sacrifice was meant to boot up the human evolutionary journey. About the opening, Ridley Scott says that it could be any planet, at any time. This scene was representational of the ongoing efforts of the Engineers to bring life to planets. The Engineer was on a lifeless planet one of many.
He knowingly drank the black fluid, accepting with peace that this would end his life. His body was torn apart, seeding the planet with fragments of his DNA, which eventually formed the life on whatever planet he was on. If it was Earth, this happened about a billion years ago; although this timeline might be off by a lot, since this explanation for life on Earth mixes intelligent design DNA seeding with evolution to get to what we have for life today.
He drank it to sacrifice himself and seed Earth with genetic material to generate life. He was an Engineer an alien race that 'engineered' life. Presumably he was quite high in the Engineer social order as it seems to have been almost a religious ceremony so he could have been specifically 'chosen' for the task. I think he was on Earth. Ridley Scott has said in an interview that it could have been any planet, it isn't specific. I'm guessing that his DNA broke down and mutated to different forms to seed the building blocks of life.
I think that yes, he did know it would kill him. I think the scene was to give a bit more depth to the Engineers and establish them as their namesake. I guess it was around 3 billion years ago if it was the true genesis of life on earth, but this figure could be wildly off. The ship was the ship that took the Engineer to earth.
It was of a different design that the Engineer ships seen later but this is reasonable if it were such a large time difference. Or it was a different class of ship than seen later on. Now we see that lots of this is headed to Earth. The intent has to be to wipe us out, or is it to evolve us, or is it for something else?
Does that mean they made chimps too? Do they use some other DNA that they manufactured? Does that mean the Engineers made all life on Earth or just kick it off and let it evolve? If the latter, why did they let chimps evolve but make us out of a mould? This movie probably would have worked better if it had come out in the , before Hershey and Chase published their ideas. Or maybe He accomplishes this by drinking a black goop which causes him to die in agony, disintegrating at the cellular level.
