Vega's Azure Beach

This one seems to have been seen before. At that time, the memory was fixed on the blue beach of Vega, so when I watched it again, all the plots were not remembered, only the blue alien beach and the colorful galaxies within reach of the sky were still in my mind.

The first thing that touches people’s hearts in this film is its imagination. When the heroine, Judy Foster, drove an alien to teach us how to make a spacecraft through the wormhole time tunnel and see the fantastic scenery of outer space, I felt deeply. Amazed. This is a plot based on the dual foundation of human technology's imagination. The material of the spacecraft becomes transparent with the change of the huge electromagnetic force, allowing the passengers to travel through space without any burden under the protection of the invisible spacecraft. Eighteen hours of space flight was just a moment on earth. Time, space, and Einstein's theories that have been proved theoretically but cannot be realized in reality are shown in the movie.

This film repeatedly talks about the contradiction between science and religion, and guides people to think about how to solve the contradiction. However, the film does not deal well with the interpretation of religion. As the senior adviser to the White House, the male protagonist often speaks indistinctly. Too handsome and has no character. A deep understanding of religion must not be conveyed by handsome blue eyes.

In contrast, Judy's performance is very beautiful. Especially when the spacecraft saw outer space, the words, expressions, and the phrase "They should send a poet..." moved me.

Respect, awe and hope, as human beings, we not only experience our own insignificance, but also feel that we are not alone in space. The advantage of science fiction films is that they guide people to use their imaginations while teaching science. This kind of film is most suitable for children.

Repost this female scientist's speech at the final review meeting:

"I have this experience, I cannot confirm it, nor explain it, but as a member of humanity, I feel that it is true with all my heart. I was given such a wonderful thing, and it changed my forever. Everything. That is a prediction, a prediction about the universe, which definitely tells us how small and insignificant we are, but how rare and precious we are; that is a prediction, telling us that we belong to such a thing, It is greater than us, and it makes each of us no longer feel lonely. I hope I can share with others, and I hope that everyone, even for a brief moment, can feel that fear, humbleness and hope."

Some things, yes There is no evidence; such as love, ideals, beliefs. . . . But they are real. Science can't even explain, no evidence can be found, but we really feel them.

Human beings have been searching for the most beloved, true, and beautiful realm that cannot be verified but really existed in their entire life, and that is the blue beach under the Vega starry sky.

    How did Goddess Judy blend Loli's demeanor and Yujie's temperament into one! What a nice view!

    Although it is still a bit long, the explanation of the point of "pursuing the truth" is still in the heart: the original life of life or the ultimate mystery of the universe, the similarity of human beings as a whole and the differences of individuals, the intersection and confrontation of science and religion, the climax makes people feel excited The surging, casually blacked out politics, it looks good. Tech madman Zemikis played with the President of the United States again this time, and what was more astonishing than the alien phase in space was the long mirror and looked at it several times.
