At the age of 83, most people are enjoying their old age, but some people have been working for several years.

For example, the 83-year-old director: ridley scott.

At the beginning of September, Nolan's film aims dazzled the audience on the big screen, while Old Man Lei brought his first sci-fi drama, which made people constantly open their eyes.

Alien catastrophe, online.

As soon as it started broadcasting, it was an episode, and Douban was stable at 9 points.

Many viewers knelt down to Raytheon and hit five stars angrily, not only because the play was amazing, but also because it was a continuation of Ray's Alien Universe.

Some time ago, he has confirmed that new aliens are coming!

It is reported that the new Alien movie is under development, but Director Lei also admitted that Prometheus and Alien: The Contract are difficult to return, and they may not continue their original direction.

The movie Alien was a story 465,438+0 years ago, and then Prometheus in 2065,438+02 and Alien: Contract in 2065,438+07, ridley finally realized that these once latest strange things began to show signs of fatigue.

Obviously, Ridley will not give up this IP easily. This is not that he lives on his laurels, but that he really thinks there are still many places worth exploring for aliens.

Unlike those big companies that constantly expand the "alien universe" for commercial interests, ridley is most fascinated by the origin of human beings, such as whether human beings have a creator and so on. To some extent, the "alien" in his lens is what he thinks is the epitome of the whole human race.

When filming the first Alien, Ridley was thinking about who this alien was and for what purpose. Exploring this angle is probably an alien building in the future.

However, I am afraid that the new aliens will not meet the audience so easily. Before that, Director Lei, who had been looking for new sci-fi themes, needed a new drama with clever ideas and rich imagination to perform.

"Alien catastrophe" currently broadcasts 3 episodes, and gets a high score of 8.7 in IMDB.

Foreign media commented that the drama is full of creativity and extraordinary imagination, and the exploration of artificial intelligence and religious beliefs will directly stimulate the eyes and mind, if not the mind.

In Douban, the score is stable at 9.0, ranking third in the audio-visual list of real-time popular books.

Some netizens bluntly said: Alien enthusiasts can't miss it. It can be seen that the drama is still familiar with the mother and characteristics of Lei Dao.

Visually, Alien Catastrophe continues the boldness and pioneer of Lei Dao.

First of all, there is a dazzling outer space scene, which captures the eerie scene with cinematic photography.

Scenes and objects such as bottomless mysterious caves, huge scary animal bones, abandoned space bases and spaceships full of futuristic sense, partial solar eclipse environment during the day, strange-looking monsters, etc. are all very similar to Lei Dao's past "alien series".

Secondly, it is the setting and development of the plot.

The background of Alien Catastrophe is set in that after the earth was destroyed by a great war, two robots, father and mother, were ordered to raise human sons on an undeveloped mysterious planet.

However, when the outer space colony of mankind rose rapidly, it was torn apart because of the differences in religious beliefs. At this time, the robot found it difficult and dangerous to control the human mind.

The two robots in the play are no different from humans in appearance. When the earth was destroyed, they came to a new planet in a spaceship with their embryos.

These two robots are easily reminiscent of the bionic man David in Alien: Contract. He respects and hates human life, and obeys and resists human instructions.

"Father" is gentle and humorous, while "mother" is more extreme in reality. She will tell children the story of "Three Little Pigs Building a House", so that they can believe in themselves when talking about wolves.

However, what if the children should be worried about not others but the mother herself?

When the only child raised by two robots is campion, she will not hesitate to rob the child from the human base in order to find a partner for the child; In order to find antibiotics for children and prolong their lives, she will kill them; In addition, she will prevent children from believing in religion.

Science fiction movies are dominated by men, and most of the female characters are thin. One of the important reasons why Lei Dao's works have always been loved by women is that the female characters in his films are three-dimensional and full.

As the producer of the series "A Good Wife and a Good Mother" and the director of the film "thelma and louise", since sigourney weaver in Alien, various feminist interpretations of Lei Dao's story have never stopped.

The robot "mother", a complex character with both good and evil, may be one of the reasons why the script attracts Lei Dao.

The care and protection of children is in sharp contrast with the fierceness and hostility of outsiders.

In alien disasters, mothers often make crucified actions. Whether she will eventually save the world or destroy it will be the biggest attraction of this drama.

It is a group of survivors on the earth who inspire robots to protect human offspring, mainly Marcus and his wife Sue.

In the flashback that followed, we can understand that they made a dangerous decision to escape from the earth. In order to survive, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make shocking moves again. Marcus' role is unknown for the time being.

In this play, faith runs through the whole play's discussion on the origin and survival of human beings.

What is more obvious is the confrontation between theists and atheists. For example, Mitra, believed by theists, has the symbol of the sun god on it, which is very similar to the costume of the Crusaders.

It is implied that there are the posture of the robot "mother" being crucified and the super power of instantly melting human beings into a pool of blood, as well as the ark spacecraft created by doomsday atheists.

In addition, the setting of robot father and mother also has the shadow of Adam and Eve.

Paul, the son of Marcus and Sue, has a firm belief in religion and his father, which is hard to shake.

Tempest, who was kidnapped by the robot mother with Paul, is the opposite. She never believed in any faith, and because of the experience of sexual assault, she relied more on the robot mother who really cared about her.

However, campion, the only surviving son of the first batch of human beings, began to question the robot parents and began to pray in secret after his companions died one after another.

The resulting split confrontation has been brewing in the dark, and where will the human beings in the play go?

Although Lei's father only directed the first two episodes of Alien Catastrophe, the whole production team cooperated for many years, and the director even had Luke Scott, the son who won the biography of Father, which also ensured that the play continued the previous style and taste of Thor.

The audience will not fully understand what happened in the play, and there will be no mistakes that cannot be explained for the sake of mystery. According to this rhythm, Alien Catastrophe is estimated to be the number one drama of HBO this year.

Director Lei himself admits that if the play has a second season, he will definitely return to directing.

Then, let's wish the talented old man A Lei a long life!
