1. Although the stunts are a bit rough, but considering that this is the level of the 90s, it is not bad
2. The thin appearance of the heroine is too suitable for a paranoid female scientist (but the space capsule part could have been played better)
3. The imagination is good without making the alien look weird. But I still haven't seen the real body of the alien (if the real body is revealed, it will definitely be considered unimaginative)
4. Both the male and female...

This is the loneliest moment, in the silent midnight, when the universe shows its listeners the vast desolation. The last thing listener 1379 wanted to see was the slowly moving curve on the monitor, which was the waveform of the cosmic radio waves received by the monitoring system, meaningless noise. He felt that this infinitely long line was the abstraction of the universe. One end was connected to the infinite past, the other end was connected to the infinite future, and there were only...

Religion and Science Reconciliation?
The film amply illustrates how ignorant ideas, led by religion, hinder human development. Here we don't talk about doctrine, only facts.
1. Religion says that there is a transcendental existence, you have no way to prove it, but it exists, just believe in it. OK. This is the basic view of many people who support religion. If this is the so-called religion, let's not discuss this issue. But the real religion is not just like that. Religion in reality, what is it? It is asking you to...

The same thing about high-quality science fiction films is that they try to explore human nature
The end of science is to discuss belief, the deepest part of the human heart and the two things that seem to be incompatible above the universe, and finally they are the same thing. The shocking visual at the beginning of the film extends to the end of the universe, already telling us that there is an ultimate belief looming above all things. Whether it's God or the "them" that the Vega civilization says - something left behind by a civilization above another, or just the belief in our hearts,...

Exploring the universe to position human beings
Many successful psychology books emphasize that in order to understand the world, you must first understand yourself.
The question of extraterrestrial life is one of the deepest philosophical and scientific questions, providing insight into our own place in the universe. Not only that, but it's an excellent mirror of our hopes and fears in a rather religious way. This sci-fi film is different from science-fiction films in the previous sense in that it focuses its energy on discussions...

It is not a commercial category, but it is a shocking shock. . I was completely impressed by Jodie Foster's acting skills. The thin and firm mouth seemed to be a symbol of faith, especially the incisive interpretation of the grievances and struggles when it was misunderstood by the society. At that moment, I gritted my teeth! Just to say that Judy's superb acting skills and the scientific attitude of the producers' rigorous exploration are worthy of five...

What impresses me is the perseverance and belief, but the content of the "18" hours is far less exciting than when it is about to...

I have heard about the SETI@home project before. This movie made me understand the project more objectively, and I resolutely downloaded the BOINC software. As the movie says: the universe is too big, only us, isn't it a waste? The more people know, the more they understand their...

Jodie Foster did a great job. Regarding ideals and beliefs, movies always love stubborn persistence and a little bit of surly, but in fact, this kind of didactic story does not have much educational significance to reality, it just convinces myself to be satisfied with...
Palmer Joss: [during the IMC's candidates selection] Do you believe in God, Dr. Arroway?
Willie: Who are we going to call now?
Ellie Arroway: Everybody.
S.R. Hadden: [over video feed from Mir space station] I wanna show you something.
[shows satellite feed to Ellie]
S.R. Hadden: Hokkaido Island.
Ellie Arroway: The systems integration site.
S.R. Hadden: Look closer.
[zooms satellite feed to reveal second machine]
S.R. Hadden: First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors. Who, also, happen to be, recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries...
Ellie Arroway: [speaks with Hadden] ... of Hadden industries.
S.R. Hadden: They still want an American to go, Doctor. Wanna take a ride?
