| THE FILM In 1994 screen appeared on cinematographic strange film, that it second resumed the oldest one topos of fantascienza which ancient land mythologies are the product of extraland visits, happened in remote ages on our planet. In this case the author of the history, Dean Devlin, imagines that the God of ancient Egypt Ra is in truth an alien arrived in earth of Egypt migliaia of years before Christ. But we go with order. In 1928, during some archaeological diggings, it comes recovered one strange marchingegno to circle shape, with one series of antichi symbols of the same geroglifici, and above all made of a disowned material. The decades pass and in the United States the young archaeologist Daniel Jackson comes recruited from the government in order to inquire on the meant one of such symbols; we come therefore to know that in means to the desert (always in means to the desert the military bases) exists an entire secret base where it has been installed the ruotona, composed of two pieces, a flat inside and an external circle, that they must be made to ruotare in synchrony, but nobody knows like, because from years the students do not succeed to decipher the symbols. Zucconi! Daniel succeeds to us endured and in four and quattr' eight come prepared a square of military capeggiati from the colonel Jonathan O' Neill, which will have to accompany the archaeologist in a travel through the door of stars (by now is clearly that draft of this) in order to look at itself exactly where door. Colonel O' Neill has not been chosen to case: it is one that little months before cleaning up the decree gun has talked nonsense accidentally in head to the son uccidendolo: one that he does not have null to lose, for intenderci. And he is therefore that the square crosses the door, in beautiful a watery special effect, and he finds again himself on a desert planet (aridaje), of the all similar to the Sahara Egyptian. In truth between the two things not there is some nexus, but ago one sure impression. The rest of the film entire carries out in means to the desert, that ago a po' to forget that draft about fantascienza. On this planet, Abydos, lives a community of decidedly rear umanoidi, than in truth they are just land, or better, transported descendants than land l� migliaia of years before. And here therefore what it had happened: much time before, on a planet far away far away, a paranoico alien had undertaken a travel through stars (with a spaceship to pyramid shape) |
| to the search of one way in order to become immortale. On Abydos it had found in abundance a mineral that it was highly necessary for its technology (type the dilitio for our favourites of Star Trek), then on the Earth it had found a race (we) highly resistant to the physical forfeiture, and therefore had used the old trick to on loan take a young and strong body for infondervi just the spirit; en passant also it had transported hundred of egizi antichi on Abydos, because the mines and the procurassero ones with stability worked in the mineral of which had need. In Ra truth it was in possession of a technology that resuscita the human bodies dead men, for this it was useful to use a human body rather than of an other species. And making all that also it had given the imprinting to the entire culture egizia. This aspect in the film has been a lot cured, even if to expert a enough eye they only can find many precise references to the ancient culture egizia. While the pyramidal shape, that it derives clearly from the averse ship with which Ra disembarks on the Earth; from that it would derive, in the fantasy, the choice to construct the tombe of the Pharaohs to pyramid shape, pyramid that then would have metaforicamente " to take off " towards the sky and therefore the other world |
| The other most obvious callback is that one of the machine that resuscita the bodies: draft, to the fine end, of... sarcofago, in which to deposit the persons dead women so that they resume life. It can be assumed, with the film, than Ra it has used such technology not only for resuscitare if same, but also, to second of the necessities, other earthlings; here therefore that, after that, the egizi antichi have begun to place the bodies of the Pharaohs, considered semidei, in sarcofagi carved and decorated with the maximum cure, in way to assicurarsi that also from those feints machines of wood and marble uscissero alive bodies. More times, in the film, we find egizi symbols scattered here and here; also in this case, the producers have intentional an adhesion much grip to that they are really the geroglifici antichi, even if obviously the medium spectator is not that a lot can be noticed of the likeness. The same one is worth for the language, that it represents " nearly perfect the phonetic yield of the geroglifici antichi " (words of one knowing studious of egittologia!). Finally, it jumps to the eye I use it of processed masks used from the Goa' ulds for coprirsi in front of the earthlings, in way to acquire a frightening " divine " aspect: draft of the reproductions of birds and snakes, the same ones to which the then (in fact...) egizi antichi attributed one divine personality |
| In any case, I have found the weft a po' bislacca, to say the true one; a minestrone where there?di all a po ', however to my judgment not?una linear weft; it jumps of pole in frasca and in the end ingarbuglia and row is not succeeded to pull them of all which?successo. Fact is that, while all it spun via smooth like the oil, on the Earth the people egizio rebel themselves to the hard one schiavit?imposta from Ra and succeed to drive away the invading alien. Naturally continuous Ra to spadroneggiare in turn for the universe, with its practically immortale body and its slaves of land origin on the Abydos planet; to scanso of misunderstandings, it prohibits the learning of the writing and of the reading, one never does not know that the culture can make to rise pure requests of rebellion in the Abydosiani. It arrives you to this point of the history, the arrival of the earthlings on Abydos disorders po' waters and the film turns decidedly towards the social protest. There?anche one blanda history of love between Daniel and one native abydosiana (uh uh). To the very fine, I would not know not even if to define it a fantascienza film: history of people who rebel themselves to a oppressore, solo that costui?alieno. The actors are all good ones, the interesting history, but, at least to cos??sembrato me, without mordant: insomma it makes yourself to see but not see again. In order to conclude I would want to spend two words on the interpretation of the personages. The protagonist?certamente the archaeologist Daniel Jackson, interpreted from James Spader: anti - an Indiana Jones from the ways decidedly imbranati, with the characteristic one tic of the persons occhialute to pull always discs of a valve on the nose; a genius of the egittologia that, with umilt?di who does not have reputation n?onori, lend its work without to save itself, until the incredible decision to cross the door of stars in a mission historical and, I add, most dangerous, inasmuch as nobody has pi?pallida the idea of where ports |
| that gadget. But Daniel ago with its tender naivete, soffiandosi repeatedly the nose, and ending for innamorarsi romanticamente of one enslaved from developed intelligence more of the average of its compatriots (Sha' ure, interpreted from Mili Avital) that, also it, does not have fear to smash the law learning to read, mantenendosi leale above all to its man. The tender Daniel makes pendant with hard O' Neill, one suffered interpretation from Kurt Russell; O' Neill is a personage to the antipodal ones of Daniel: colonel of the army, married and with a son of eleven years, sure has the experience, the maturity and the farsightedness that lack to the enthusiastic archaeologist. Dark desperation is however a man marked from one, to reason of the terrible one died of the son, from caused same he. With the disincantati eyes of the soldier who has a mission to complete, it represents logic of the " mors your mea life ". Two are the important encounter of O' Neill: that one with the young archaeologist who tries of spiegargli candid that the life is beautiful and is worth the pain of to have lived, and that one with a boy not more than quattordicenne (Skaara, interpreted from Alexis Cruz), one enslaved without future, that it sees in he a great hero and the trusting loyalty is entrusted with all of which the adolescents are able. To the end, these two encounter will move the perspective of O' Neill from the pessimism more total to a found again force to go ahead, are those that is. Finally, it cannot not be cited the interpreter of Ra, sensualissimo and the Jaye young Davidson, that it seems nearly the incarnation of the damned child; Ra appears in last part of the film, when, come down with its pyramidal spaceship on Abydos (in order to capture the mineral, it is supposed), it notices of the arrival of the aliens and it is revenged in cruel way and cruenta it is of that of the slaves who have received them. Incarnation of the pure evil, without ripensamenti, Ra sprizza hatred and ferocity from the apparently pure eyes of a child, giving mefitici sorrisi to the persons that are in order to condemn. Obviously to the end the good will prevail, but only destroying completely to Ra and the body of the young poor devil from he transformed in executioner.

| Stargate had a large one happening of public, like always starved of fantastic and fantascientifiche history (to the contrary of that the critic thinks). A lot that was believed about produrne a continuation. But the plan did not go in port, therefore, in order not to displease the nourished one fandom that already it was gone creating, the producers created a series that could develop the enormous potentialities of the film: enormous, yes, because a door for stars and a responsible averse population of an entire mythology can be cue for innumerevoli history. The series of Stargate, left in 1997, has resumed faithfully the situation left in suspended from the film: we by now find again colonel O' Neill (called habitually Jack) and the archaeologist Jackson (interpreted from other actors). Once ascertained that the door of stars is effectively a mechanism that allows to visit other planets, the government of the United States prepares some " exploratory " squares of, pertaining to the Stargate Command: O' Neill and Jackson makes part of the first square, called Stargate 1 (from which the title of the series, " Stargate SG-1 "), with to the doctor Samantha Carter and to an alien, about which I will speak to you between little. Therefore, nearly to every episode, the small squadron visits a various planet and lives its adventure (Stargate, therefore, * * series is not one on the mysteries of ancient Egypt). But he is not therefore simple. The averse population to which Ra belonged acquires a name, the Goa' ulds, and therefore has also the bad ones of the series, a po' like the Klingon in the Classic Series of Star Trek. The Goa' ulds has made damages in turn for all the universe, subjecting many planets; here, therefore, than the SG-1 if it often finds again them between the feet; useless to say that they have of the sights also on the Earth. For more, the Goa' ulds, as they had transported a group of earthlings on the Abydos planet, therefore had made also for many other planets; therefore in many of the places visited from our squadron millenia are found before the descendants of the deported earthlings. With passing of the seasons, the subjects have been made more audacious and the stargate ones machine of the time has occasionally become also one. Moreover, it is discovered to a sure point that the door of the sky is not fruit of the technology of the Goa' ulds, but is one creation of one averse population still more ancient, for a long time extinguished. The Goa' ulds comes at this point described stablily like a race parasite, that is a species that has need of a body host in order to interact with the external world; their original aspect is that one of large worms. The race of the Trill cannot not come in mind, constituted from a host and simbionte (not all, but not sottilizziamo); in the case of the Goa' ulds, but, the vermone it acquires the complete mastery of the body that accommodates it (which it supposes that he is not consenziente). The head of the bad ones, than in the film was Ra, now is its successor, Apophis. The guards of the Goa' ulds call Jaffa, calls also " guards snake " because they wear of the colorful masks from style snake (egizio, naturally). The fourth member of the SG-1 is just a Jaffa, of name Teal' c, that it has abandoned its people in order to fight from the part of the good. The presence of this averse one allows to know very close gives us the culture of the Goa' ulds, and inserts in the series that cultural contrast that we trekker already have opportunely appreciated with the personage of Worf. Stargate SG-1, zitto zitto, has arrived to the fifth season and ne it is currently in production one sixth. Here in Italy it does not have a large one fandom, for dirla in other words it does not have the same popolarit� of Star Trek or Star Wars; but the fan of Stargate, than they are defined " gaters ", they have created associations, ring telematici, fanfiction, convention, insomma all the usual, amiable universe in miniatura that is come to create when much people feel themselves joined from a dream. |
