How small and lonely people are in the vast and boundless universe. Since ancient times, human beings have been thinking about the eternal proposition of "Where did I come from, where do I go...", whether there are signs of life in outer space, and whether we have "friends" in this universe , Are we "lonely" in this boundless universe? This is the common wish of countless scientists and philosophers, as well as all those who yearn to explore the mysteries of the universe! The American film "Contact in Time and Space" can be said to be the pinnacle of the same type of film. From this film, we can see the tenacity and tenacity of human beliefs, as well as the rumors that are short-lived and fearful, as well as the lack of trust and doubt among human beings. Of course, the exploration of the mysteries of the universe also runs through the end. core decryption. Ellie Irovey was full of curiosity about radio communications since she was a child. However, when she was nine years old, her father left her life forever due to a myocardial infarction. Eventually he became a meticulous, calm and passionate astronomer. She is committed to the research of searching for extraterrestrial life, but she is rejected by her peers and senior scientists, thinking that she is not doing her right job, so she has withdrawn the funds and projects. Ellie was determined not to give up. After many unsuccessful attempts to find investment, she finally persuaded a private institution to invest in this project, and decided to rent the government's satellite probe to raise funds and work together with like-minded colleagues to start the project. new journey... However, the long and hopeless research made the government that rented the radio telescope to Dr. Airoway's team gradually lose patience, and demanded that the paperwork be handed over within three months and the funding support be stopped. Almost desperate, Ellie drove to the launch pad and made a final attempt. Just when she was drowsy, a miracle happened. Vega's aliens sent a signal to the earth through a series of prime number pulses... Time began to enter a new era, however, the fellow senior scientist easily snatched it away. She took the lead on this research, and the White House also authorized it to take over this research work. The struggle of human interests and the trampling of science make Ellie a little dazzled... But she still firmly believes in her belief that the signal sent by the aliens is actually the image of Hitler at the opening ceremony of the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany , which made the U.S. government and military personnel inexplicably nervous. When they finally deciphered the alien peace signal and the "spaceship" blueprint sent by the alien, they gradually dispelled their doubts... However, this research cannot be Avoidance has aroused two voices of human support and opposition. Yes, human beings have always been cautious in their exploration of the unknown, especially the universe. Especially in Western society, people with strong religious consciousness may be more afraid of God being proved to be a fiction... So, when we see the launch pad mixed in The religious fanatic who disguised as a mechanic actually detonated the bomb on his body and blew up the spaceship built based on the alien blueprint, in order to prevent human beings from going to distant galaxies in outer space to contact aliens and keep God forever. The existence of ... This kind of fanatical action makes people see the insignificance of human beings and the huge contradiction in the spiritual world. The scientists sacrificed in the film remind people of the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. Human beings have sacrificed too many lives in order to explore the mysteries of the universe and space development. This is of course an inevitable process of technological progress and development, but Is it really worth it for humans on earth? Isn't the life and value of human beings, as well as the existence of life, more important? This paradox has always bothered me... In the end, Ellie was chosen to carry out this trip to outer space. With her amazing perseverance and the source of power to explore alien civilization, Ellie finally embarked on the journey. However, when she was sent into the orbit of Vega by a wormhole and successfully reached this beautiful alien planet, she actually saw her father... She found out that it was the alien who imitated her father and approached her , she was relieved... The warmth that human beings and alien intelligent creatures finally come into contact with and can experience from it is exactly the message that this film wants to convey. And when the aliens sent her back to Earth, she Now, it's only a few seconds on Earth... and everyone saw that the spacecraft fell and failed to launch, but Ellie firmly believed that she had seen aliens... The White House held an inquiry meeting, and Ai Li Li was asked to give a reasonable explanation. In this chapter, we see the good intentions of the directors and screenwriters as well as the filmmakers, the following statement, incisive and full of humanistic radiance: I have this experience, I cannot confirm it, Can't explain it either, but as a human being, I feel it is real with all my heart. I was given something so wonderful and it changed everything about me forever. It was a vision, a vision of the universe, telling us with certainty how small and insignificant we are, and yet how rare and precious we are; it was a vision, telling us that we belong to such a thing, which Greater than us, it keeps each of us from feeling alone. I wish I could share with others, and I wish that everyone, even for a brief moment, could feel that awe and humility and hope. The insignificance and lowliness of human beings, in the long river of history, human beings have experienced countless wars and natural disasters, especially in the process of World War I, World War II and the Cold War, several terrifying nightmares that almost destroyed the hopes and dreams of mankind... However, Humanity has finally conquered the darkness and despicableness in the heart and human nature, and hope and the brilliance of human nature will come to the world again... However, the complete liberation of human beings' self-redemption and personality will take time, especially in this depressed and helpless country, It may be hard and long for people to overcome fear and the conscience of the human beings who are ruled by darkness, to rescue the conscience from the abyss of darkness, and to shine... But I'm not a pessimist, I still have hope , "Is the world going to be okay?" I'm always skeptical, but I'm still cautiously optimistic. Because the light of human nature and the characteristics of humanity have not disappeared from human beings. As long as there are these, the future of freedom, equality, fraternity and democracy can be expected. The dawn is actually not far away from us... It changed everything for me forever.
