At the end, I typed "For Carl", thinking that it should not be Carl Jung, I checked that it was Carl Sagan, the author of the original novel of the movie, a pioneer in the study of life science in outer space, and also the search for extraterrestrial intelligent creatures project (SETI). ) one of the founders.
The film mainly focuses on the relationship between science and religion, but also has a humanistic aspect. Carr advocates that science and religion work hand in hand to fight against the various threats facing humanity, and the film is also with this theme. The heroine returned from interstellar travel, but could not produce any evidence. When she had no way of defending herself, she embarked on the road of BELIEVE, holding the hand of the lay priest and sitting in the car together. Usually when talking about extraterrestrial creatures, you will stand from a high angle to overlook the behavior of the entire human being, and this movie is no exception. What the aliens say is actually the same as what the gods, demons, animals, and robots say in other works. In the final analysis, it is still spoken by human beings, who evaluate, reflect, and teach human beings through another way.
Some flaws in the movie
When running for the pilot, the lay priest asked Do you believe in God. The old man in the back said that 95% of the world believes in some form of God, so it must be answered. In fact, it is a vague concept to equate God with religion. The heroine can go deeper into it. 95% of people do not believe in the same god. Which one does "God" refer to? To distinguish between "belief and unbelief", the heroine is subtly included in the 5%, but those who believe in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism stand on the same front, not necessarily. The film secretly confuses Christian God with God in general.
The freedom of religious belief also means the freedom of not believing in religion. Letting the female protagonist choose a corner by "not believing in God" is itself a form of religious discrimination. Furthermore, does faith have to exist in the form of God? The heroine believed in extraterrestrial life from beginning to end and insisted on SETI career, which is also belief. Just like Brazilians don't just believe in God, football is their belief too.
Before the second flight, a lay priest ran over to the heroine and said that he voted against the heroine because he did not want her to go. Originally, the previous purpose was to cause the audience to think about the relationship between science and religion. In addition, this paragraph seems nondescript, and it is better not to have it. It's as if Lao Mei can't make a movie without adding some love seasoning.
In the final court hearing, the security officer said that everything was a farce by Haydn. The design drawings were created by Haydn. When they were made, other scientists could not see at a glance that it was the technology of the people of the earth. There is also the three-dimensional puzzle to crack the password, I can think of it, it really degrades the professional level of professional coders.
By the way, there is also the Okan's razor theory, "the simplest explanation is often correct", can also be called a scientific theory? ? ?
