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.

    With boundless bounds, mayflies are sent to heaven and earth, a drop in the vast ocean, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation. The first generation of super body is probably Zhuangzi~

    "Super Body" just throws out a cool concept instead of visualizing it systematically. This is the reason why Luc Besson can never become a first-line director. People who compare it with "Interstellar" may not be called "Interstellar". Movie fans.

Lucy quotes

  • Professor Norman: Animal life on Earth goes back millions of years. Yet most species only use 3 to 5% of its cerebal capacity. But it isn't until we reached human beings at the top of the animal chain that we finally see a species use more of its cerebral capacity. 10% might not seem like much, but it's a lot if you look at all we've done with it.

  • Professor Norman: For primitive beings like us, life seems to have only one single purpose: gaining time. And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions. Be immortal, or to reproduce. If its habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing, the cell will choose immortality. In other words, self-sufficiency and self-management. On the other hand, if the habitat is favorable, they will choose to reproduce. That way, when they die, they hand down essential information and knowledge to the next cell. Which hands it down to the next cell and so on. Thus knowledge and learning are handed down through time.
