Excerpts of classic lines

Kristoffer 2021-10-20 17:32:16

1. So what's more likely? An all-powerful God created the universe, then decided not to give any proof of His existence? Or that he doesn't exist at all and that we created him so we wouldn'f feel so small and alone.

2. First role in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price. Only, this one can be kept secret.

3. I'm going to travel 26 light years to commit suicide?

4. I 'm going through some kind of a tunnel. ... I must have gone through a wormhole. ... I'm in another wormhole now.

5.No words to describe.

6.None of this is real. when I was unconscious, you downloaded my thoughts, my memories.

7. You are an interesting species, an interesting mix. You are capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone. Only you are not. In all our searching all we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

8.Small moves.

9. I had an experience. I can't prove it. I can't even explain it. But everything I know as a human being, everything I am tells me it was real. I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever. A vision of the universe that tells us undeniably how tiny and insignificant and how rare and precious we all are. A vision that tells us we belong to something that is greater that ourselves, that none of us are alone. I wish I could share that. I wish that everyone, if even for one moment, could feel that awe and humility and hope. That continues to be my wish.

    I am too ambitious and want to cover everything, but it seems a bit boring. It is also a bit deceptive to say that it is a science fiction film. The lens of the mirror is really amazing, the universe beyond the opening and the end of the world at the end. In addition, is the supreme meaning of the outlook on life really the warmth of everyone? Also, the film says that 95% of the people in the world have religious beliefs, right? . . Just let China give it a question of 300 million atheists!

    A classic science fiction film based on the novel of the same name by Carl Sagan. The film goes beyond the scope of sci-fi, and explores the relationship between science, religion and politics in a simple way, full of insights. Judy Foster performed impeccably tough, truth-seeking, and pure astronomers. The beginning of the chapter is gradually zooming out (the acoustic signal is getting weaker). The picture of the universe is excellent, the climax alien lens is beautiful to make people cry, and the long mirror lens is also full of creativity. (9.0/10)
