Although the story may seem a little cheesy, it is quite sincere and essentially a sequel to The Lost City of Z, a re-exploration of the theme of loss that is different from the final and thorough Amazonian jungle of The Lost City of Z. Lost, at the end of "Interstellar Exploration", Gray chose a tender treatment. When Pete finally gave out the bewildered inner monologue of "why continue" and "why persist", allowing himself to float in the infinite universe, a blue light illuminated his helmet, and that wonderful blue halo shone on his helmet. A little bit emerges on his helmet, and it also illuminates his lost heart. It is also the wonderful halo we saw at the opening of the film. It is the light of life, the light of love, and the theme of the whole film.
Even if there is no alien life in the entire universe, what if it is full of nothingness, human beings are not alone. Don't ignore the people around you because of your obsession with the life forms of distant stars, and focus on those around you who love you. , the greetings of those friends, the company of lovers, that is the little blue halo in your life, illuminating the dark corners of life. PS: Regrettably, due to the influence of ratings and word-of-mouth, I did not watch this masterpiece in theaters. If you know enough about Gray's works, you should understand that the so-called word-of-mouth and ratings are not enough to define his works.
