A delicate psychological film

At the beginning of the film, I must want to see how the director explained the mysteries of the universe, introduced the magical new world, and some basic expectations for science fiction films. But what is unexpected is that the whole movie is explaining the psychology of the characters from beginning to end, so I understand that the intention of this movie must not be based on science fiction logic.

I prefer to classify it as a psychological film, a space travel to symbolize the feelings of people falling into depression.

The first is loneliness. This loneliness is not about being unaccompanied in life. It is more of a downturn from the inside out. It is no longer easy to share feelings with others, and there is no more passion and expectation for the outside world. It is completely imprisoned. In your own life.

The remaining energy is basically spent on trivial matters of livelihood, such as the constant anxiety about the water problem in the film, the basic living environment and physical condition. Even the occasional spring scenery can only calm down and continue to face the troublesome and ever-changing state after a wave of waves, until the journey of life is completed.

  • William D. Stanaforth: Our bodies are more space than matter. There's an unfathomable distance between each atom, each particle. What keeps us solid? Why don't we dissolve?

  • William D. Stanaforth: Nothing has ever lived here. Nothing has ever died here. Maybe I'll live forever.
