When man thinks, God laughs

After being recommended by a person who claims to have been endure life, I watched this film.

Like totems and religions, the sci-fi world and universe created by human beings are actually the world and universe of human beings. It's like someone trying to pull his hair out of the earth, and it will eventually fall out, not even leaving at all.

Nonsensical is actually the highest level of comedy. The British are not as exaggerated as Stephen Chow, and they are just right. There is a little old-fashioned gentleman in the nonsensical.

The absurd in the movie is like the world itself. Conflict of interest is the root of all struggles in this world; every time a love happens, the parties feel different; no matter how old-fashioned people are, they all have the desire to pursue novelty and excitement; dictators always want to clear the obstacles on the road; Smart people often do stupid things; there are communication barriers between people, like the Tower of Babel; there are always misunderstandings and conflicts between husband and wife, and one party to the conflict always wants to brainwash the other party...

So there are eternal problems. , the computer that collects all the human wisdom takes light-years of time, and the calculated answers are only numbers; mathematics is the abstraction of everything, and different people may wish to add different understandings.

Therefore, human beings are not born as smart as dolphins, let alone cute and kind.

All the sorrows in the world come from human emotions and desires. Pure machines are never painful, soap operas for children to watch.

The author and director saw the facts, but could not give an answer. I had to let everything be destroyed and start all over again. After going through the sea, I found that the most precious is always the simplest.

Every day the sun rises is new. So, Try to be simple and we don't need to know the ultimate question. On the other side, there is no need for us to know because everyone of us is just a little part of the huge machine which has many dimensions. Cherish this moment and what you already have. Tomorrow will be another day!
