The work of boring and sick moaning

The girl lives on the earth alone, playing the recordings of her dead father every day. But what she and her father insisted on caused many people to stay on the earth and finally died. The black man came to ask his guilt, and finally wanted to take her away from the earth.

The girl communicated with her boyfriend and learned that it was impossible to meet each other. So as soon as he turned his head and left the computer, he hugged the black man and cheated. I can't help but feel that the reality is terrible.

Finally, the heroine committed suicide, and the black man left alone. The plot of this movie can be summarized in just a few words, a boring stroke.

I want to discuss what people think in the play. The heroine's father thought that the species could evolve and the earth could recover. But the evolution of species is based on the millennium. I don't think that one or two generations can recover.

In addition, I think the director underestimated modern technology. It couldn't be easier with modern technology to create oxygen. The big deal is that we humans can seal all kinds of buildings. Take an oxygen tank when you go out. I think this technical difficulty is much easier than all human beings immigrating to an unfamiliar planet, and it is much more practical. You can also grow vegetables in the greenhouse, and you can make your own oxygen. It is much easier to build such a greenhouse on earth than in space.

In the movie, we saw dense clouds under the mountains, various dense gases sinking, and oxygen at high altitudes. Then I think it can be inferred that there is not no oxygen in the air, but a lot of harmful dense gases are produced for some reason. Then human beings don't need to make oxygen by themselves. You can live by pumping oxygen from high in the sky with a very tall pipe.

IO quotes

  • [first lines]

    Sam: [narrating] It's like we were doomed to destroy our planet. Some say it was because of the increasing pollution. I just call it human nature. A few scientists predicted what would happen. They started working on a power station that could be sent into space to harvest geothermal energy from other planets. But it was too late. People would start dying in their sleep... suffocating in the streets, the blood in their veins turning black. "An unexpected change in atmosphere composition," they said. To me it was just our planet desperately trying to survive by kicking us out.

    Sam: So one day, a hundred ships flew off into the sky.

    [numerous glowing dots across the planet]

    Sam: It was the Exodus mission. They turned the power station into a colony, like a lifeboat floating above Jupiter's volcanic moon, also known as...
