In summary, Stargate is a science fiction film told through the eyes of a person who travels through space gates to encounter a culture set in ancient Egypt. A tyrant, an alien who took life on Earth and desired to cultivate it as his garden. However, even in ancient times, tyranny was intolerable, and freedom has always been something cherished and embraced by people. Therefore, the extraterrestrial being set off in search of new horizons to cultivate life in a different way.
Daniel Jackson, in his journey with Commander O'Neal, is the precursor to this new revolution against the tyrant that will be put to an end forever.
Mila was seated in one of the fabric chairs used by the team members as they reviewed the final moments, the grand finale of Emperor Ra. Billy was as absorbed as ever, oblivious to how Mila reverenced him with her eyes. The sweet moments they've shared in recent days have forged a small friendship since her arrival in Israel. The supporting role in a science fiction production has been won through connections, and her transition from Israeli cinema to American cinema is another step she aims to take in the coming years.
Daniel Jackson had transformed and resumed, his posture not as hunched and timid as the film's Daniel. The progression from boy to man was complete as he learned to fight for his life.
He walked through the starry corridor, where all the remaining military personnel was, led by O'Neal, Kawalsky, and Ferrati. What was supposed to be a stargate appeared to be a circle of styrofoam and aluminum, with a lot of green screens around it.
Ferrati turned to Daniel as they walked closer to the gate. - By the way," Ferrati asked, raising his voice due to the gate's humming. - Did you get your books? -
-Yes. One is a bit damaged, - said Daniel/Billy.
-I want you to know that I was always confident you'd bring us back home," said Ferrati.
-Yes, of course, me too, - commented Kawalsky, extending his hand to bid farewell to Daniel.
Daniel could only nod, the facade changing to a true warrior and leader, now with his hair slicked back, contrasting the previous coconut style.
-Will you be okay? - O'neill asked.
Daniel looked at Shaúri/Mila, with her charming smile, still with teenage features, captivated by beautiful green eyes. Daniel's gaze pierced through, understanding what they were talking about and how she had been chosen.
-Yes, I think so. Soldier, will you be okay? - The mission's commander understood what Daniel meant, after learning many secrets and his suicide attempt. Perhaps there would be time to save his forgotten marriage.
-Yes, I'll be fine," replied Colonel O'neill. - This place suits you well, Jackson. You'll probably spend half a year wandering these catacombs.
-I hope you come to visit me, - said Daniel.
-What can I say? I don't make decisions; I just follow orders from my superiors, - said O'neill.
-Military information? - Daniel asked.
-If there's one thing that characterizes the military, it's that they never inform about anything. -
-Do me a favor, - said Daniel, handing him Catherine's locket, which she had given him at the start of their space adventure. - Tell Catherine that she brought me luck. -
-Of course. - Before getting too emotional, he climbed the stairs to the stargates.
Followed by all his men, their images hung in the air, like extended photographs that disappeared after a flash, a moment vanishing into stellar travel.
Daniel and Sha'uri stared for a while until the ring closed. Sha'uri rested her head on Daniel's shoulder, or was it Mila who rested her head on Billy's? The young woman smelled the perfume and could only muster a faint smile with narrowed eyes. A note captured by camera number 3, Ronald Emmerich didn't call cut, and everyone remained in their positions.
Three seconds passed, and the script was over.
Billy/Daniel approached Mila. -- Let's go home, - said Billy, grabbing her hand, and walking outside the pyramid.
"Cut," said Ronald Emmerich.
-All right, we can consider this set recording finished. I need a few quick and light shots, - said Ronald Emmerich. Everything was done, and now only the follow-up remains, but happiness is evident.
-I didn't know that in the script, you had to hold my hand, - Mila said, the happiness on her face revealing certain things that Billy could pick up, though he missed a few.
-I thought the director wasn't satisfied with our ending and needed something more romantic. After all, Daniel was captivated by the beauty of Sha'uri, even abandoning his home planet to be under the charm of his lovely Egyptian, - said Billy.
Heat rose on Mila's cheeks. -Daniel is quite a brave man. We need more of these romances in our time, men willing to love. -She stepped out of Billy's personal space in a kind of enchantment.
-You two have a lovely friendship, - Kurt said.
Billy turned to look at Kurt. With his military appearance, he looked so different from his usual self. The workout with Kurt over the past three weeks had been effective, but there was still a long way to go before having a body considered suitable for Hollywood's aesthetic world.
The sound was like music to Billy's ears.
-She's quite a cheerful young lady, - said Billy.
-Nigel needs some close-ups of you. As for me, I'll head to the hotel to enjoy a well-deserved rest, - said Kurt, patting Billy on the back.
Billy just sighed at the idea of more work. The 12-hour shifts, along with the moments to sit down and write and draw the next shots for Evangelion and Yu Yu Hakusho, which were in their final stretches, left Billy exhausted.
Billy walked to the studio and found Nigel talking to some cameramen, and team members. - Nigel, Kurt told me you needed some shots, - said Billy.
Nigel nodded but continued attending to the camera team. Billy walked to a chair and made a lazy gesture.
-If it isn't our protagonist, - said John Diehl, who played Charles Kawalsky. The rich and deep sound of his voice was fantastic.
-John, you also have some shots to take, - said Billy.
-Not at all, kid. I'm waiting for Jaye Davidson. We're going out for drinks later with the boys from the cast, - said John.
-I see. Good luck, John. It's been a pleasure working with you. I hope we meet again sometime, - said Billy.
John stretched his long neck and moved his head as if he were strutting. - Likewise, good luck, Bill, - said John, shaking hands before turning away.
Only hours of shots remained, running or in communities, and some with studio colleagues. Some short lines and others longer, but in total, it was a long and boring task.
-Billy, - said Mila from one of the studio chairs.
-I thought you had left, - said Billy.
Mila pouted. - I don't have a car, I can't drive, and Ronald will give me a ride, but he's taking quite a while, - she said.
-Come with me, - said Billy.
The young girl smiled mischievously, following Billy.
More or less, a representation of Billy in a Stargate suit.
