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.

    Film-noir monologues are inevitably superfluous, but they also invisibly lay the engine that drives the entire film. As a "traumatic detective", Pete calms the contradiction between existence and annihilation in the search for the vast sea of ​​stars, and ends the troubles. After his own "obsession case", he finally completed self-healing. Celestial bases and space stations are both clue locations, carrying types of entertainment functions, just like western gold rush stories or hard-core detective novels, just like common signs in works of the same theme in recent years. The infinite freedom of space in geometric modeling and spiritual sustenance gave Gray a new possibility to analyze and explore the materialization of the inner image of the characters, and no longer follow the trekking in the cities and jungles of Coppola and Herzog, which catalyzed it. The organic evolution of space and roles is unified into a more advanced audio-visual life, which can be seen from the conservative perspective of countless helmets, hatches, and pilots. The shining stars still emit classicism.

    The second brush did not change much. Pete's performance is indeed quite sincere, but it is said that most of the monologue lines are added by the company, and I feel that there is too little information... Recently, space movies have been discussing personal emotions. Is the emptiness of human beings on the earth unsolvable... But in space Still not resolved. The soundtrack has nothing to do with it, no matter how the space film is shot like this, it’s really boring.
