For my speech on organization, I am choosing to talk about my favorite movie of the summer, Prometheus. Ridley Scott hit it out of the park with his prequel to the Alien franchise. If you have not seen the movie I do not recommend you read any further. *Spoiler Alert!* The way this movie is organized is that it begins with a flashback of a humanoid that sacrifices itself in order to create more life on a planet. The next scenes depict humans searching ancient artifacts and cave drawings that all seem to point to a certain planet, which they believe will hold the answers to the creation of life on Earth. So, they head out to this planet hoping for answers. What they find out is that they were actually products of these humanoids, but they were planning on destroying the human race two thousand years ago (about the time Jesus was crucified *dun dun dun*). Now, still curious, these people are asking more questions and want to know why they were planning on being destroyed. In the process they eventually release the weapon of their destruction.... the alien xenomorph! So, basically through a series of causes and effects, the humans find out the answers they never would have wanted to know.
If you enjoyed the movie check out these explanations and fan theories, they're awesome.
