'Wow! What's that? A big rock head?', my heart whispered.
There is a dark color poster attracted my attention this evening. It's entitled Prometheus.
What is Prometheus? I thought it was a name for the big rock head. After I watched the film, 'Prometheus' was actually the ship. Oh man~ Prometheus should be the name for a titan who created humans in ancient Greek history. It's not supposed to use it as the name for that four legs King-Kong alike ship! It's just not suitable for me.

However, there was a very awesome phrase used in this movie.
'Sometimes to create life, you must first destroy it!', said by David -as a robot in this movie.
There's an idea just break through my mind when I heard it for the very 1st time! It's like telling me to wipe out every things in my mind while I'm run out of idea. This is very true! Have you ever heard of the zen story called 'A cup of tea'? The story begin with:
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (a868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquired about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. he poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
Te professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is over full. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
(Myrko, 2008)
It was the same theory using in both film or reality. To get something new, you must first wipe out all your speculation! This theory can be used in art too. Sometimes to create something that is new and never existed before, try not to think logically and follow others designer do and don't. Designer should be Think like a leader, Not a follower!
