Questions about the definition of science fiction

I can't imagine how boring it would be to watch movies without science fiction movies. I wouldn't dare to bang my chest and say that after watching "The Seventh Seal" for a whole year, I can still chant "I love movies" unwaveringly. Science fiction films always revolve around such things as the universe, time, monsters, etc., always reminding us of the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings. Of course, most of them have no scientific and educational significance, and some of them are even purely entertainment. I believe that when I was a child watching Godzilla ravage New York, I never thought about such a heavy issue as "human destruction of nature", but was thinking about Godzilla. Why do such monsters always appear abroad. Fast-paced editing and special effects are also a more traditional way of presenting sci-fi films. Come to think of it, the first time I felt that I had time to think about other things while watching a sci-fi movie was when I was watching "2001: A Space Odyssey". I felt that the director was very considerate of the audience and gave the audience a lot of time to make arrangements freely. Keep up with the plot. I didn't realize my ignorance until I read the comments later.


Strange to say, since then, I suddenly felt that I had never actually seen a sci-fi movie. "2001: A Space Odyssey" helped me reshape the concept of sci-fi in my mind - "Star Wars" is not a sci-fi movie, Back to the Future is not science fiction, and Jurassic Park is not science fiction. I found that I couldn't describe the concept of sci-fi movies in my mind through words, so I was determined to find the dividing line of sci-fi movies. The Hitchhiker's Guide.


In my opinion, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a complete science fiction film. It's not serious, but occasionally makes the protagonists spit out some philosophical lines. It can be seen from the opening paragraph of "forcibly demolishing the nail households" that the film has obvious irony and this irony permeates the whole film. The highlight of the movie is the journey of the President of the Galaxy and his party to a certain planet to seek the "ultimate problem". What's ridiculous is that the answer to the ultimate question in the movie is made by a supercomputer designed by a higher intelligent creature. What's even more ridiculous is that the supercomputer finally got the answer after tens of millions of years of calculation is 42 - the answer to the "ultimate question" about the mystery of life, the secret of the universe, and everything is actually 42, which makes Everyone was disappointed. The most nonsensical thing is that the supercomputer, after giving the answer, changed his mouth and claimed that he did not know what the "ultimate question" corresponding to the "ultimate answer" was, which led to such a result, so it promised to design a computer that could get the "ultimate question". "The machine - Earth. Here, the film also teases the sages who think about the ultimate problem. The problem that human beings have pondered since its birth turned out to be due to the design of a computer... Seeing this, I realized that my delusional behavior to define science fiction films is doomed hopeless.


As Woody Allen said: "No matter what you think about or what you don't think about, you still can't change anything. So, without telling others, as long as you can find happiness, you can define science fiction. "


Look, "The Seventh Seal" isn't a sci-fi movie?
