After watching the hot air balloon pilot, what made me feel the most was a conversation between James and Emilia:
Emilia: It's because the air is thinner, he's expanding, and we should consider slowing down.
James: So the air helps us rise again, isn't it obvious?
Amelia: It's time to put on oily skin
James: No oily skins, they are very heavy
Emilia: I told you, you need oily skin
James: Equipment and weight restrictions are important if I'm a little sick
Amelia: You brought four thermometers and you brought strange boxes, but you can't bring some proper clothes?
Emilia: We have to go down now
James: Wait, no, we can't go down, not yet. The best way to get out of the storm is to go up, that's what you said, dear lady. Maybe the best way not to catch a cold is to go up
Emilia: What science is this based on?
James: The science says that every layer of air we enter is unknown, so we're closer to the sun.
Amelia: We're done
James: These discoveries that I'm still exploring may be shocking
Amelia: You're freezing! Our lives, please, we have nothing to lose
James: It's probably more important than our lives. Please, I know you want it as much as I do
Emilia: I'm going down
James: No, this balloon has withstood every challenge we humans have given it
Emilia: It's not about balloons, it's not about science, it's about the war between you and the people who rule you, and I've fought them too, me. . . . .
James: That's not the point, the point is this. There is nothing more beautiful and mysterious than the stars in the sky. Look at us, we dance in it. You want those words written on the balloons, Amy Neil. The sky is so vast, go to it!
Emilia: Go for it. Of course, the sky is there, let's go over there, the sky is so vast.
James: It's very broad
Amelia: Now, you see, there will be a moment when we won't be moving on
James: Yes, I know
Emilia: Do you understand that only I can make that decision
James: Yes, I understand
The desire for science and the desire for nature is often beyond human life itself.
James' whole body is almost frozen, but he has not stopped longing for the sky, not so much the longing for the sky, but the longing for the development of human beings. He has spent his whole life, just for predictable weather when the weather is positive. In the chaotic order of nature, scientific methods are used to find the proper order. Through these orders, people's losses can be reduced and people's lives and properties can be maintained safely.
Forget the sarcasm of outsiders and stay true to science. In life, we may be ridiculed and ignored. Outsiders think that their views are wrong, so they disdain to talk to us, and we can't find any evidence to prove that we are right. We choose to give up or insist, if If you persist, you may continue to be ridiculed by outsiders. If you give up, you will feel unwilling.
James chose to persevere, disregarding the ridicule of everyone, being loyal to science, and daring to find any opportunity to collect data to prove that he was right. Because of this, James and Emilia were able to take a hot air balloon to the sky. Opportunities, they discover something astounding, their dreams come true, their desires fulfilled.
When we approach life, we also need the courage to ignore ridicule. We just need to keep silent, keep smiling and keep calm when others laugh. Because of restlessness, anger will not solve the problem. All we should do is silently look for the right reasons to prove that we are right. The process of pursuing the truth by oneself is often the happiest and most meaningful process.
Dare to break through the limit, not for glory, but to challenge the limits of human beings, for science. The purpose of James flying into the sky is to collect weather data such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, and use this as a basis to prove that the weather is predictable. He broke through the limits of human flight and the limits of what the body could bear just for science. Another protagonist of the movie, Emilia, is to reach a height that ''all men, or all women'' cannot reach, to prove that she is the highest man flying by human beings, to prove that she has surpassed the limits of human beings.
