I love this movie. I watched it unkowing it was connected to the alien franchise. Since my husband has talked me into watching the first movies. I have to admit I dont much care for them. But prometheus is like a drug, I hope they get on with the sequel. Though as a stand alone story it is beautiful. I agree with your theory, thanks for posting.
It was not the first time the Prometheus ran up against the reactionary judiciary's attempted censorship maneuvers. Already in May 1926 the German courts slapped an injunction on Eisenstein's POTEMKIN. After numerous court battles, and strong public support from liberal critics, a shortened version was introduced to German audiences. [9] Later the Prometheus distributed TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD, STORM OVER ASIA, THE GENERAL LINE, BED AND SOFA, EARTH, THE BLUE EXPRESS, etc. Over forty Sovkino/Mezhrabpom productions were distributed by the Prometheus between 1926 and 1931. It must be admitted, however, that some of these films, directed by such older-generation directors as Tarich, Razumni, Gardin, and Protazanov, could hardly be called revolutionary.
