"Humanity is but the edge of all things. Monod: the ancient alliances have broken down: man is finally aware of his loneliness in this vast and indifferent universe, that his appearance is purely accidental." (Calvino) The space cemetery, as dead as the eternity of night, will be buried in the endless night. While achieving the power of surpassing technology, he still prays and still believes in God, and his belief recognizes our infinite weakness; because of such weakness, he decides to do...

The space version of "The Lost City of Z" indeed. Shooting sci-fi in a classical way, from a certain point of view, interprets human nature, loneliness and philosophy to the extreme. Muttering is like a dream, a human being whose body will not fluctuate even in extreme environments, still can't hide the ripples in his heart, and goes to the end of the universe, only to be able to talk to his father and the source of his alienation. "In the face of the known tragedy, the highest level of human...

Still very Gray's motif, the obsession with the old world, the rejection of the new world and the unknown world dominated by developmentism and progress theory, the closest director of Gray is actually...

I really thought it was Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now that lame was going to vomit blood. The director always deceived the audience with a face of "I have something profound to tell you". In fact, he was just keen on the Abandonment...

#2019VenicePart II# It’s really ugly, the stereotypical family affection + personal heroism, the hard-to-concave character conflict, the companions and enemies of the five scumbags, the whole film is simply Brad Pitt’s personal advertising film? …Two stars, one star for Pete's military uniform at the beginning, and one star for special effects, really can't be...

I chose the latter in "Marriage Story" and this one, thinking that sci-fi films can always be refreshing, but it turned out to be an epic failure choice, all the action scenes were cut into the trailer, and then it's all about Zhan Mr. Gray's hypnotism as...

The setting of the story is very attractive to me. A son is looking for his missing father, and the father's mission is to find intelligent life in outer space. It reminds me of the title of another film in the same Venice main competition unit, "About Endless", which is about the universe. The infinity is also the infinity of the loneliness of man as the only intelligent being. James Gray structured the depth of the plot according to the stellar structure of the solar system, creating a...

I cried when Saturn appeared. "Ad Astra" takes us back to the age of astrology, the strange silence of the stars, does the universe have depth? Connected to the father's cord blood, there is distance and movement. Surge only when the lover enters the door. A great 2D...

I like this film, although I don't care too much about what it is about... I feel like two hours have passed by in a swish, I seem to enjoy a meditation, so I'm going to add a meditation film to my personal genre... Found this kind of flying In the film to the space, the wife and husband are the first to give in or be abandoned, and the blood relationship becomes a kind of desperate eternal connection; this is probably determined by the relationship between human beings and the earth. Although...

7 points, for some reason, after entering space, everyone became philosophical. A person's space trip will magnify the sense of loneliness even more, especially placing the individual in the endless universe, which has become the biggest charm of the film. However, the most loneliness and the coldness behind it, I always feel that it does not fit the theme of finding a father and the relationship between father and son, which is a little strange. I still prefer last year's Gosling movie. Of...
