Ultimate question?

First of all, let's talk about Marvin, the robot who suffers from depression. This guy is the highlight of his appearance, and it is also my favorite robot character so far. As for the "universe, life and all things", understanding such an ultimate answer naturally goes back to the most primitive ultimate question. And just as humans approached to ask such questions, our homeland, the Earth, was absurdly destroyed. So I have to start all over again... This story itself is full of countless questions, because the human brain itself is good at asking questions, and the answers to all questions must be as simple as "42", but we can't think of it due to some limitation. What kind of restriction? It's just the shackles that people can't get rid of in their minds. In fact, both the ultimate question and the ultimate answer are in a simple human brain like Arthur: "My head is filled with questions, and no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to. Is she the one? The answer bloody well isn't 42, it's yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly, yes."

    If you don't read the book, you will give the movie a higher score. The novelty of reading the book is less, but the movie is still good, which makes up for the lack of image sense when reading the book. The film is less ironic, but more entertaining.

    It's another movie that's not fun to visualize. Or read books. [yawns]
