A good movie that I didn't watch very closely, but couldn't make it out

The Aniyara space exile, it is more appropriate to understand it this way.

This is a super low-cost sci-fi film shot in a super expensive country. The actors and the like are unknown, the special effects and scenes are relatively simple, and there are no big scenes. But the original work based on it is a surrealistic anti-romantic sci-fi. I read it segment by segment, it was very boring, and I even skipped a lot of piss... But after reading the last chapter, as the ending sound faded away, I I have never been able to get out of my state - the original idea and the deep thinking about the pursuit of human society and ethics, just like the gods entering the mind of the thinker.

The following spoilers don't matter, you won't watch it anyway, it's very niche.

The story of the film is very simple. A spacecraft carrying 8,000 passengers flew from Earth to Mars. In order to avoid a space wreckage, the spacecraft automatically evaded. As a result, a screw in the wreckage hit the fuel tank of the spacecraft's engine, in order not to let the spacecraft Blow up, the captain can only release the fuel. The spaceship that avoids in space is like an eternal arrow. After deviating from the original orbit, there is no fuel to start the engine to turn again. The universe has no resistance and can only drift forever in an unknown direction with the original inertia. ... the vast space, unable to stop and wait for rescue, unable to make any slight changes in direction... The hapless 8,000 passengers began a never-ending journey.

It’s romantic enough. As far as this story is concerned, if I were to shoot a commercial blockbuster, there are countless ways to shoot it to achieve better results. Of course, we can’t be completely loyal to the original work. There must be self-help and rescue, and there must be accidents. And heroism - at least a few of the "Space Travelers" super scenes passing by Arcturus...

It is a pity that the works of realism are extremely cruel. If you want more stimulation than life, they will not give you a little more.

With 8,000 exiled passengers, but with electricity to survive (electricity and fuel are maintained separately) and life support - the ship's management needs to make a choice: tell the truth of despair, or give hope to create the smallest human society. Obviously, helpless but discerning leaders will choose the second.

And the whole work tells us what the structure, needs, ethics, and vitality of human society will become over time in a limited space... The structure of the smallest society, the lowest survival needs, how to evolve and operate, and finally we individual and collective pursuits, how to make decisions...

think for a while:

We live on the earth. Although the earth is like dust in the universe, it is extremely great for human beings... Human beings are really like children who have grown brains before weaning. We can imagine the vastness of space and create works that can be based on the earth. Flying to the edge of the universe, and we are also trying to find a way out of the earth. Mother Earth is like a giant watching our excitement, but it doesn't move... Maybe the 4 billion years of profound memory in philosophy is much thicker than that of human beings, and all our behaviors are like children's eyes. ANIARA is like this, despite the emergent effect of 8000 people, there is enough water, air and electricity, but it is so helpless in the universe, and the planet gives people only when they know that they will never go back on this drifting journey. Knowledge is extremely precious, and even the residual memory picture is enough to form the hope of people to maintain their spirits and survive.

This is a very magical thing. Human beings cherish only those unfair existences in social life-money and things, food that requires labor, water and air on other people's land, but they never feel that Mother Earth is fair The space allocated to all children, the gravity, the shielded radiation and suitable sunlight, the diversity of the land and life, and even the challenges and troubles it brings to human beings – all are gifts. In this film, none of these exist, and no matter how hard the whole ship tries to use human thinking to maintain the survival of the small society, the result is futile. We have to admit that human beings are only suitable for short-term weaning, whether spiritual At least to maintain the connection with the earth population, or to say that the mission of human life is to expand the territory of the earth population, there must always be something that is the invisible umbilical cord between human beings and the earth, until we are truly weaned from the earth and captured a new planet.

In addition to the gifts of the earth itself, return to the continuity of human society - the smallest society of 8,000 people, survived for 24 years. There is a scientific research that says that when the number and diversity of a certain ethnic group is less than a certain value, this ethnic group will inevitably die out. 8,000 people cannot produce enough reproduction and diversity in a limited space. Most people hope to return, and very few people can actively embrace the future. When the desperate atmosphere in the later paragraphs of the film gradually unfolded, I suddenly felt that I should be grateful for all the troubles that the real society and interpersonal relationships gave me—because of hunger and injustice, there is pursuit, and because of pursuit, there is interpersonal relationship. Because of the love and hate of interpersonal relationships, there are choices and the diversity of life. No population can survive in constant fairness and enjoyment. People have mission value because they actively solve problems, and they have mobility and vitality because of uneven existence. The continuation of human society is based on spiritual deceptions, set missions and real territorial expansion - no demand creates demand, no contradictions create contradictions, and the truth of human society's prosperity is to constantly generate collisions and challenges. The soil in which our spirits endure.

The best part of the film is also the only one who can accept the future: a child born on a spaceship. Raised by human society, although there is no gift from the earth, in the cognitive world of children, all the worlds are this spaceship. Philosophically speaking, this child is lucky, positive, and has a future; ethically speaking, how unfortunate this child is, even in front of the screen, I feel that this child's life is too cruel, he cannot enjoy the real earth The world is beautiful, and the poor need to spend their entire lives in this lonely drifting sarcophagus - from the passenger's point of view, it is indeed seen - so that the mother of the child I expected the ending, and finally the ending of the child , it was difficult for me to digest it for a long time - although I knew that it would be such a law, I could not accept the inevitability of this tragic reality. Is there a possibility, philosophically speaking, the 8000 passengers are actively raising the next generation, and the spaceship is regarded as the world of the next generation, the captain hopes so - but the smallest world is not acceptable to the mother's generation, replace me, Can't accept it either.

At the end of the film, after 5 million years, all life in the spacecraft dissipated, and the skeleton of the ship was carried to the planet Lyra... If 8,000 passengers have souls, perhaps as long as they know that there is a destination and expectation, 5 million Years can pass by.

Therefore, what supports the survival of the human spirit is hope. Hope is not a realistic acquisition, a good dinner, or a competitive advantage, but a kind of expectation for a better future for human beings, and it also carries the mission of this generation. This looks forward to following countless generations, without stopping. Just like this epidemic (this article was written in early 2020), countless doctors and nurses rushed to the front line, and the whole people worked together to overcome this obstacle. What we are looking forward to is that the society will return to normal. Although returning to normal cannot be said to be better than before, but at least it is better than it is now. . The advent of an event brings countless troubles, but it can make the subsequent world have a new flow and mental state, which is always stronger than a world that is old and rotten.

Finally, thank her: the earth has given us enough time to realize our hopes and realize our imagination, and for a long time, we have and only she can rely on. So don't think too much about what you don't have, live yourself well, and lay a foundation for the hope of future generations. Humanity is a long river. After all, we are all beautiful flowers.

Minghui, I want to go to your house for dinner!
