Roy ran from the earth to the orbit of Neptune. On the way, he passed the moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Unfortunately, he did not see Uranus. The scenery of the moon and Mars has an intuitive display in the film, and the loneliness of a space cyberpunk , an Odyssey tour of the solar system.

Roy's father Clifford started the "Lima Project" in order to explore extraterrestrial life. Finally, he and the crew reached the orbit of Neptune. After 30 years, the crew could not bear the loneliness and wanted to escape back to Earth, but Klee Ford did not allow the crew to be deserters, which eventually led to an escalation of the conflict. All the crew members were killed by him, leaving him alone to continue the project. He would rather abandon his wife and children to achieve his goal.

Roy and Clifford are very similar in character, both have extraordinary courage and persistence. Roy divorced his wife for the space career, while Clifford appears to be more extreme in character. Never give up, he can maintain absolute rationality when dealing with major issues, but Roy does not have the same lofty ideals as Clifford.

Clifford's pioneering work in space has inspired a generation as a heroic deed. He stayed in Neptune's orbit for thirty years, persevering for a goal that has never been achieved. When Roy wanted to bring him back to Earth, he took the initiative. He gave up and let himself float forever in space, slowly dying in the unknown universe. He had no memory of the known earth, and always kept expectations for the unknown life. He would rather die in space than live. on Earth.

The biggest difference between Roy and Clifford lies in their attitude towards family affection. Roy lacked fatherly love since he was a child, and parted ways with his wife. He always lived in loneliness. When he found his father, his joy was beyond words, but , Father is the kind of person who can abandon his wife and children for his ideals. Roy's heart is very painful and helpless. He criticizes his father for always taking the pursuit of extraterrestrial life as the most beautiful thing, but the beauty is right in front of him, but he turns a blind eye— - The family love between father and son, the thought of "Dad loves me again" eventually became empty. Although the body is close at hand, the heart is far apart.

The loneliness and emptiness of space, the persistence and thinking of human beings, persistence in loneliness, pursuit of the value of life in persistence.

    This is a movie that can really give people a great sense of happiness. Whether it is day or night, when you walk out of the movie theater after watching the movie, and see the street full of traffic or bright lights, you will feel that the whole world is surrounding you. Looking around, thinking about having both parents, thinking about such a quiet and deep image in the world, feeling love, everything is beautiful.

    The more interesting thing is that those conversations that take place in space are basically like whispering mirrors. Similar to poor signal, poor connection, mixed with low-frequency noise. There are also space suit helmets that show the changes in the light and shade of half the face and the shape of the light spots, otherwise it reflects the scene of the entire universe. As for natural NASA fans, it also seems easy to be moved by the state of space travel. Of course there are many bugs in this story (the one I'm most disappointed with is the nuke), the question is why find bugs in such a movie? I'm addicted to having a single person dominate the big screen in a movie theater. If you want to find bugs, humans have not landed on the moon for decades. As soon as you arrive at Neptune, you will retreat. Of course, this is also the thinking of many human beings.

  • H. Clifford McBride: We need to find what science tells us is impossible. I can't have failed.

    Roy McBride: Dad, you haven't. Now we know. We're all we've got.
