time is the theme of the movie

Is time money? A millisecond gap can generate billions of value on Wall Street. It seems that time is money. Then why is the farmer featured in the movie using primitive horses and human to carry? And why are several rich bosses intriguing for a few milliseconds and no one has a good result in the end?

Speed ​​can not be measured only by time, as said in the play: only 16 milliseconds of time can also be like living 100 years. Interests can't represent everything. What is nobler than it is the family of the second male, the friendship of short-term cooperation, and the life that stops at any time due to accidents.

Life is like a journey, the important thing is not the destination but the scenery and the mood of the people watching the scenery. The protagonist in the play ignores cancer in order to achieve his goal, in order to realize his dream, a dream connected by pipes. And when the dream was shattered, he was relieved, as if it was a practice that had nothing to do with fame and fortune, gaining insights, the definition of fast and slow, and the meaning of life.

As the saying goes, the magic height is one foot and the road is one zhang high. Even if the straight-line distance of the Unicom pipeline is the shortest, it will not be as fast as the microwave, and the microwave will not be faster than the atomic level. What is the pursuit of speed? Benefit? What are you looking for after you get the benefit? The sensible answer can only be: slowly enjoy the natural life.

The Hummingbird Project quotes

  • [first lines]

    Bryan Taylor: How long does it take to drive from Kansas to New York?

    Vincent Zaleski: Uh, two days.

    Bryan Taylor: You wanna do this in 16 milliseconds?

    Vincent Zaleski: Yeah, but round trip.

    Bryan Taylor: We're talking about a lot of money here, Vincent.

  • Vincent Zaleski: Sometimes I wonder, if all the time that was given to me was, like, like, 16 milliseconds, and I had no past memory - I had nothing carved into my mind before those 16 milliseconds. And the only thing that was left imprinted in my brain were the images and the smells and feelings of those 16 milliseconds. How do you think I would process that?

    Anton Zaleski: I don't know. Hmm. I think your life would feel exactly as long as someone who lived for 100 years.
