PROMETHEUS Theme Sounds a Little Familiar

I think the music below is the theme of Prometheus. It is played in a mysterious opening sequence, and the main melody pops up many times during the movie. This wonderful and memorable melody, which is supported by strings and letters alternately with one of the most memorable works of recent movie scores, sometimes chorus, says that they understand the secret of the universe It is shown to be keen on. Most scores consist of standard suspense music, but this does not frighten the audience but helps to improve the purpose of the movie. This is an important part of the movie's role.

However, after this melody first appeared, I immediately noticed something. It sounded familiar. It took me only a few seconds to understand that the melody was a small change in John Williams 'planet Krypton' from the original Superman's soundtrack. Melody begins with the 32 second mark.

Have anyone heard of similarities? Is not this just me? Strangely, even if you know that the theme of Prometheus may be inspired by Superman's songs, I can not reduce my gratitude for it. In my conjecture, the composer (apparently Harry Gregson-Williams, he is not the main composer of the movie) is familiar with Williams's work, but he does not realize his respect. The point is that art works need not be creative and powerful.

As a bonus, this is arrangement of Prometheus guitar music on YouTube. Very nice in my own way

Galaxies will be reduced to paper clips. This is the worst case. This may sound ridiculous, but it sounds familiar. After all, Frankenstein is the story of contemporary Prometheus, its creation is driven by their own motivation and desire. In this case, remind people that super intelligence is not a human being - it will be something else that we may not understand. That means it can be dangerous

Another title by Frankenstein, Hyundai Prometheus, implies the theme of the novel. Prometheus is a mythical person who puts on fire to keep them warm ("Prometheus gave to people"). But Zeus punishes Prometheus. Prometheus was punished by eternal punishment. Instead, the fire symbolizes knowledge. In my first and second theme, the monster character has a dual purpose in the novel. First, the role is a concrete expression of knowledge. It is a product of the research and experiment of Victor. Therefore, it symbolizes the result of knowledge. In the novel, this monster is depicted as "ugly, disgusting, disgusting" and killer. What is that knowledge view? It shows that knowledge is also ugly, disgusting and disgusting - killer, monster

Although the theme of dangerous knowledge is clearly shown in the novel "Frankenstein", in contemporary Prometheus, it is possible to analyze the symbolic title of the novel first. Prometheus borrowed the word Prometheus from the story of ancient Greece Prometheus is very intelligent and it is well known that it shines to humans by stealing the hidden fire of Zeus. Through Prometheus's action, people can cook and civilize with fire. Perhaps Mary Sherry has a deeper meaning to incorporate Prometheus into the title of the novel? You might want to explain how Prometheus stole a fire through Zeus, but you can do bad things and good things such as grinding and killing cooking and iron tools with fire It was.
