Ngokusekelwe esihlokweni sefilimu ethi Prometheus, obani onjiniyela?
Context:Isihloko esiyinhloko kuPrometheus siphathelene neTitan enegama elifanayo lezinganekwane zamaGrikhi ezedelela onkulunkulu futhi inikeze isintu umlilo, ngenxa yalokho ehlushwa isijeziso saphakade. Onkulunkulu bafuna ukukhawulela indalo yabo uma kwenzeka bezama ukuzithathela onkulunkulu. Le filimu ikhuluma ngobudlelwano babantu nonkulunkulu - abadali babo - kanye nemiphumela yokumelana nabo. Uhambo lwabantu luhlose ukuwathola futhi luthole ulwazi mayelana nenkolelo, ukungafi nokufa. Bathola izidalwa eziphakeme ezibonakala zifana nonkulunkulu uma ziqhathaniswa nesintu, futhi iqembu le-Prometheus libhekana nemiphumela yokuphishekela kwazo. UShaw unesibopho ngqo sezenzakalo zesakhiwo ngoba ufuna ukuthi izinkolelo zakhe zenkolo ziqinisekiswe, futhi ukholelwa ukuthi unelungelo lokuthola izimpendulo ezivela kunkulunkulu wakhe; imibuzo yakhe ihlala ingaphenduliwe futhi ujeziswa ngokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe. Le filimu inikeza isixazululo esifanayo, inikeza ukwaziswa kodwa ishiya izixhumanisi neziphetho ezilalelini, okungase kushiye umbuzo ungaphenduliwe. Ezinye izinkomba ezingokwenkolo zibonakala esinqumweni soNjiniyela sokujezisa isintu ngokubhubhisa eminyakeni engu-2 000 ngaphambi kwezenzakalo zefilimu. UScott wasikisela ukuthi kwakuthunyelwe uNjiniyela eMhlabeni ukuze amise ukwanda kokuhlasela kwesintu, kodwa wabethelwa esiphambanweni, okusho ukuthi kwakunguJesu Kristu. Nokho, uScott waba nomuzwa wokuthi ukuxhumana okusobala kule filimu "kwakuyoba okungafaneleki".  Ubuhlakani bokufakelwa, isihloko esihlanganisayo kulo lonke umsebenzi kaScott njengomqondisi, kubonakala kakhulu kuPrometheus, ikakhulukazi nge-android uDavid. UDavid ufana nabantu kodwa akafuni ukufana nabo, ugwema isihloko esivamile "ekulandiseni izindaba ngamarobhothi" njengeBlade Runner. UDavid wadalwa ngomfanekiso wesintu, futhi ngenkathi iqembu labantu bomkhumbi iPrometheus lifuna abadali balo belindele izimpendulo, uDavid ukhona phakathi kwabadali bakhe abangabantu kodwa akahlatshwa umxhwele; ubuza abadali bakhe ukuthi kungani befuna ezabo. ULindelof wachaza umkhumbi njengejele likaDavide. Ekupheleni kwefilimu, umdali kaDavid (uWeyland) ushonile futhi uhlelo lwakhe oluyisisekelo luzophela ngaphandle kothile ongamkhonza. ULindelof wachaza ukuthi uhlelo lukaDavid alwaziwa kahle nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi uhlelwe nguShaw noma umuzwa wakhe wokufuna ukwazi. Ngemuva kokushona kukaWeyland, uDavid usala noShaw, futhi uthembekile futhi unentshisekelo yokumlandela, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokusinda futhi ngokwengxenye ngenxa yelukuluku.  Esinye isihloko yindalo nombuzo othi "Ngingubani? Ubani Owangenza? Kungani Ungishiyile?" Ukuthuthukiswa kwezinganekwane ezisemkhathini kwahlola indalo yobuJuda nobuKristu besintu, kodwa uScott wayenesithakazelo ezinganekwaneni zokudalwa kwamaGreki namaRoma nama-Aztec mayelana nonkulunkulu abadala abantu ngomfanekiso wabo ngokunikela ngengxenye yabo. Lokhu kudalwa kuboniswa ekuqaleni kwefilimu lapho i-Engineer izidela khona ngemva kokudla uketshezi olumnyama, isebenza "njengengengadini esikhaleni" ukuze ilethe ukuphila emhlabeni. Olunye uhambo lwabo ludala abantu, abakha ukuphila okufakelwayo (uDavid) ngomfanekiso wabo. UDavid wabe esethula uketshezi olumnyama kuHolloway okhulelisa uShaw oyinyumba, futhi ingane ephumela kulokhu ikhulelisa uNjiniyela, idala ingane yazo zonke izizukulwane ezintathu. UScott wafanisa lezi Zinjiniyela nezingelosi ezimnyama zikaJohn Milton eParadise Lost, futhi wathi isintu sasiyinzalo yazo hhayi ekaNkulunkulu.  UShaw uwukuphela komuntu okholelwa enkolweni phakathi kwabasebenzi futhi ubonisa ngokukhululekile izinkolelo zakhe zenkolo ngensimbi yomgexo wesiphambano sobuKristu. ULindelof wathi ngenxa yolwazi lwakhe lwesayensi, izinkolelo zakhe zazibonakala ziphelelwe isikhathi ngo-2093. UShaw uyajabula lapho ezwa ukuthi wadalwa onjiniyela hhayi unkulunkulu ongaphezu kwemvelo, kodwa kunokumenza alahlekelwe ukholo lwakhe, kuyaluqinisa. ULindelof wathi ukubuza imibuzo nokufuna incazelo kuwumgomo wokuphila, ngakho izilaleli zasala zibuza ukuthi uShaw wayevikelwe yini uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokholo lwakhe. UScott wayefuna ukuba ifilimu iphele ngesimemezelo sikaShaw sokuthi usalokhu efuna izimpendulo ezicacile. Ngaphezu kwezingqikithi ezingokwenkolo, uLindelof wathi i-Prometheus isekela isayensi futhi ihlola ukuthi ulwazi lwesayensi nokholo kuNkulunkulu lungaphila yini ndawonye.  Ngaphandle kokudweba amathonya amaningana avela kuParadise Lost, uGovindini Murty weThe Atlantic waphawula amanye amathonya, futhi wabhala ukuthi "izithombe ezihlaba umxhwele uRidley Scott azicabangayo zePrometheus zibhekisela kukho konke kusuka kuStanley Kubrick's 2001 kuya kuLeonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man kanye nePlanet of the Vampires kaMario Bava. UScott uphinde andise indawo yonke ye-Alien yokuqala ngokudala inganekwane yesiNgisi echazwe ngokucacile yiParadise Lost kaMilton nemidwebo engokomfanekiso kaWilliam Blake". NgoSepthemba 2021, kwabikwa okunye ukuhlaziywa kwefilimu.
