Today, I’ll be talking about the most controversial scene in recent cinematic history — the Engineer dialogue in Prometheus.
We’re going to look the deleted blu ray scene, 5 page dialogue in the leaked script and then have a deep dive analyzing the Engineers civilization, history and your theories. Thank you guys for leaving so many of your own interesting theories in the comments. It would take 10 hours to cover all of them so I chose some of the most interesting theories however if you want me to talk about your theory in the next deep dive leave a super thanks or join youtube memberships or patreon and send me Your theory that you want me to discuss in the next Dee dive/.
Most people probably felt like there was something missing from that scene, and that is exactly the case, because the entire dialogue between Weyland, the Engineer, and David was deleted.
There are three layers to that entire scene. The first — is the Blu-ray deleted dialogue in which the Engineer Actually speaks. Then, if we go even deeper, there is an early draft script that contains a 5 page extended version of the dialogue between Weyland, the Engineer, and David. And then — there is also a separate controversy surrounding that script, as well as many censored and obscure references to Jesus, Enoch, Annunaki and the Demiurge which we will all discuss in great detail.
And then, if we go even deeper into the third layer, there is an even earlier script where the scene with the Engineer awakening was completely different.
So let’s cover everything in order.
First of all, Ridley Scott hired a real linguist to create the Engineer language from Proto-Indo-European. This language can even be heard in the actual movie.
During the two years on the way to elvee-223, David was learning the language so he would be able to speak to the Engineer.
But more than that, both actors who played David and the Engineer practiced that language extensively, only for their entire dialogue to be cut for literally no reason.
Another interesting thing about the Engineer language is that all the cuneiform-like writing on the walls does not have any meaning at all. In fact, the linguist specifically created it to mean nothing, so it would not offend any culture or accidentally say something offensive.
But let’s actually get to the dialogue from the Blu-ray deleted scene.
Once the tubes detach from the Engineer’s body, before the Engineer can even come to his senses after 2,000 years of cryosleep, Weyland selfishly tells David: “speak to him David tell him we came just like he asked.”
Right away, Weyland projects his own interpretation onto the Engineers’ intentions, assuming that the Engineers wanted humans to come to elveee-twotwothree.
And I’ve made a whole separate video discussing how the star map was not an invitation, but a warning, a temptation test, or something much, much darker.
Then David speaks to the Engineer in his language. The Engineer looks eerily surprised, gets out of the cryosleep chamber, and says something angrily in his language, which David translates to Weyland as “He asks you why you're here“
However, Shaw interrupts their dialogue, and after Weyland’s guard violently hits her, Weyland says, continue David, tell him why I came.
David then says something to the Engineer, but there is no translation in the subtitles or anywhere else. However, the real-life linguist Anil Biltoo said in an interview that, in the Proto-Indo-European language he composed, what David said can be translated as “This man is here because he doesn't want to die he believes you can give him more life.“
The Engineer angrily responds, dismissively pointing his hand toward Weyland. David translates, saying that “I told him you want to live forever. He asks why.”
And then we get a short monologue from the greedy, insatiable billionaire Weyland, in which his arrogance, selfishness, and hubris are on full display. His speech reaches the highest level of delusion when he calls himself a god.
