Under any other circumstances, he and Alexander would be having dinner "together" if you catch my drift. The Uber Morlock is sinister and quietly menacing, but he's also intelligent enough to realize the situation for what it is.

Interesting thing: the Morlocks' origin in the book is different in the movie, the Morlocks evolved out of poor people who were forced to work in harsh conditions by the rich and powerful and hunt down humans as a sense of vengance for years of enslavement. That probably is why the Uber Morlock justifies their reasoning to kill humans

I think they got to Earth after 800,000 years. They destroyed themselves and then the wraith made their move and took it over.

I remember reading this book in class then going to the theater to watch the movie. Damn, I'm old..

This movie, especially this clip, makes me think so much. Holds my mind captive for long periods. That's not like any other clip.

truth in plain sight

Always thought Jeremy Iron's played this role amazingly, even for such a short time on film

I liked the character played by Jeremy Irons in this film.......he was DEEP!!!!.

Jeremy Irons, Arnie, and Malkovich. Perhaps the 3 most distinctive voices in Hollywood!

Irons did an amazing job, such an underrated an underused actor in my opinion.

"Don't worry, I control them...without that control they would exhaust the food supply in a matter of months." Interesting for Jeremy Irons' character to say that when he played Scar in The Lion King where he teamed up with and led the hyenas to exhaust the food supply - under his control.

and so what does Alexander do? he kills the controller. OOPS!

Exactly. And then, having re-established that species, re-establish some more, so that the Morlocks wouldn't be left trying to live off of what probably still would have been a severely depleted ecosystem, given the fact that there had been a mass extinction event less than a million years earlier. One which would have left the Earth with an unstable axis, lengthening recovery time.

I was not prepared for Uncle Scar to go full LEGACY OF KAIN when this movie released.

I love that our "hero" kills the controller knowing full well that it would leave the hunters to rampage without control, essentially dooming that section of the world.

If someone came from 800,000 years ago and made judgements against you, what would you say? You'd probably react similarly to Jeremy Irons' character

from Alexander's point of view is questionable. But, on the other hand, that's how nature has gone. It is like questioning the colour of the sky, the principle of gravity or death itself, it is the nature of things and that is above any single human or any reasoning.

Imagine if he just chilled and learned from the psyker. Imagine the possibilities!

So when Alexander kills the brain, the hunters go wild and kill all the Eloi. Nice going Alex.

Nah, he destroyed that particular hive.

Here is the quiet genius of this scene. You go into it identifying strongly with the views of the protagonist. Rightly so. On the surface, what is going on here appears to be controlled by a truly evil person. But let me ask you this: If he is so evil, why did he admire the glowing fish instead of killing it?

@xyrus345

Moral relativism. Good and evil have always been in the eye of the beholder. One person's genocidal maniac is another's patriotic hero. It's why humanity will eventually destroy itself, either by accident or on purpose. This leads to my favored solution to the Fermi Paradox. The reason why we don't see intelligent life roaming around our galaxy is because for every technological advance of said civilization there is an ever increasing risk of disaster. We're basically still in our diapers as far as technological advancement goes and we've already had some damn close calls, and that was before climate destabilization started throwing matches at the powder keg known as human civilization.

What a Philosophy boaa why do I need to watch it so often?

That's fascinating how he grabs the little fish and let's it go🤔

Should have had a bigger roll the best part of the movie is this scene

Jeremy was astonishing in that role. But, hen again, he ALWAYS is..

I love the discussion and implication of what said. When he utters: «How dare you to question 800.000 years of evolution?», it's as if the current natural order is the teleological conclusion of mankind. It will happen, has already happened and will always happen. Whether the protagonist accept the fate of Humanity or want to fight it, he can't avoid what we will become. Evolution is the survival of the fittest, and through selection we've sacrificed our Humanity (from a prehistoric perspective) for a existence that's not defined by environment, but the very fact that we ARE THE ENVIRONMENT aka the ones that will do the selection for ourselves. As a Force of Nature we will shed our Humanity and replace it with a natural state only recognizable as nature herself; ruthless and unforgiving. Absolutely fantastic writing and performance deliver us a brief, but far more potent narrative than any CGI-fest or tons of exposition could ever do justice.

The look of the leadership caste Morloc's always remind me of the Wraith in Stargate.

Jeremy Irons is a master actor.

It also looks like a wraith from both Lord of the Rings and Stargate. It looks like a Drow from The Forgotten Realms setting for DnD. It looks like, and was definitely inspired by, a TON of fictional beings. Same goes for the necromancy from Diablo, it was inspired by the uncountable creatures that it looked like before it. It’s only a copy, one of many. “Confirmed”!

The ultimate moral of this story is the balance of humanity is in aggression and passivity. Apart, the remnants of humanity become nothing for eons. Together, they can reach the stars.

So killing him mean his hordes were left to rampage the surface . Nice .
