Small but great

Human wisdom is great, but at the same time insignificant. Ordinary and shallow like me, I don't have the power to look at this problem outside of the system created by mankind. Whenever I think of the vicissitudes of the universe, I can only feel powerless and lonely. Sitting alone in the movie theater, seeing the scenes Lucy experienced when he broke the time limit, was another trance and sadness.
But whenever I fall into this kind of low mood, another voice reminds myself: It is great fortune to be born as a human being. We can never figure out what the truth of this world is. The civilization we have created for thousands of years is insignificant compared to the vast universe; but thanks to this limited wisdom, it gives us joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred, and hatred. Music, art, literature, mathematics, architecture, and so on, these wonderful things. Even if it's just a tiny individual in this tiny corner of the universe, I can still rely on this extremely limited wisdom to perceive my own existence and perceive the connection between me and the world. Because of this limitation, we cherish these wonderful things, even though they are essentially just a stack of atoms and the transmission of electrical signals, they are given a unique meaning to us. The concept of "meaning", which is exclusive to human beings, is so nihilistic and so wonderful...
Although I really want to try to figure out what the omniscient and almighty will look like when thinking about the world, it obviously follows the exploration of the nature of the universe. The same is beyond my cognition. For the first time, I seriously felt that "the four are all empty" seems to be a kind of great wisdom. All I know is that I am grateful for the limitations of being a human being. It gives me love and pain, makes me feel the richness of this world, and makes me feel attached to this life that is essentially nothing but nothingness.

BTW, it turned out to be the first time I went to a movie to watch a movie by myself ==
this kind of film is still very suitable for watching in a movie theater. There is a visual impact, a tight rhythm, worth the price...
Although I think the science fiction part of this film is really weak, the theory developed by the brain is too sloppy; but the heroine's speculation about existence still moved me. While stimulating the secretion of adrenaline, it also allows you to think about life. Give a four-star generously.

    The arrogance of scientism and progress, becoming a new god through reason and technology, and touching ancient apes in the posture of God.

    Why I didn't understand what I wanted to do in this movie, the villain found a group of sticks. At first the scene was in Taipei, and then when I arrived in Paris, there were no subtitles in Chinese and Korean before. I guess the old beauty didn't know what it was. The plot is that the heroine's various super gods open and hang and finally become a U disk.

Lucy quotes

  • Professor Norman: We're so driven by power and profit.

  • Professor Norman: You know... If you think about the very nature of life-I mean, on the very beginning, the development of the first cell divided into two cells-the sole purpose of life has been to pass on what was learned. There was no higher purpose. So if you're asking me what to do with all this knowledge you're accumulating, I say... Pass it on...
