With a really quiet soundtrack, it is very comfortable to watch the stories full of American middle class.

After reading several film reviews, I found that this unobtrusive film has different interpretations in the eyes of different people. Family relations, internet, youth psychology, open culture... I think the content of the original book should be richer. There are a thousand Harry Potter in the eyes of a thousand people, and what impresses me is the part that touches me.
At first, I thought it was the new movie of Adam Santana, who was the king of golden plums and rotten movie (but has always been looking forward to him) after the single resort in the past few years. Well, at the beginning, I still thought that when Adam was on the website. Fortunately, he became an actor this time.
The soundtrack has a quiet rendering power, and it matches well with the gilded record that has been floating in the universe for decades, which occasionally inserts the rendering theme.
At the beginning and at the end, I was talking about the space explorer floating in the universe. Rather than looking for consciousness outside of human beings, it is more like witnessing the smallness and loneliness of the earth in the vast space. Including the social network throughout the film, it reveals everyone's loneliness in RL (quoting the real life of the online game man in the movie), and loneliness creates emptiness. So go cheating, go to small web pages, go close to each other, and regard openness as a kind of cool.
The director separates several plot lines and several protagonists should have too many things to express. It's not the dark ring of playing "Pulp Comedy". Through the Adam couple talked about family relations, marriage. The control freak mother clearly reflects the issue of discipline. Both the photo girl and the slim girl talk about the impact of open culture on young people. Juno, the young couple, is the closest to the theme of loneliness.
More, I took it as a comfortable growth-themed movie to enjoy.

    Narrator: [recites extract from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, A Vision of the Human Future in Space] That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. Every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on the mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. How frequent their misunderstandings, how fervent their hatreds. Our imagined self-importance, the delusions that we have some privileged position in the Universe are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the earth is where we make our stand.There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits, than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
