From "Space Traveler", I saw the first appearance of human nature and love

I imagine that you are just four years old, and go back to the sunny kindergarten to take a nap in your memory. The children around you sleep soundly, only you are awakened by urine, and you can only lick your fingers and pick your feet when you are bored. At this moment, you noticed the little girl on the bed next to her. She was asleep with a very cute look and hair. The bear card successfully attracted your attention, so you start to observe her long eyelashes, fleshy ears, round nose, you "love at first sight" for her, you silently stretch out your evil little hand and cross the bed By the fence, I woke her up and talked to you...

In fact, "Space Traveler", which was at the center of public opinion once it was released, talked about the same thing. Jim’s love at first sight for Aurora seemed to happen in an instant, different from 4. When you were young, your impulse to wake up the girl in the bed next door was at most the other person’s waking up. Jim knew well that the consequence of waking Aurora was almost equivalent to murder and the termination of the other person’s dreams, so he struggled. He repeatedly hesitated and tried to restrain, but in the end he chose to wake Aurora. Seeing this, you might think, God, this is too scumbag! This has become an intuitive reflection of many viewers on this matter. However, think back to you when you were 4 years old. Yes, this "Space Traveler", which was featured as the annual space adventure giant, actually talks about the truest human nature and the original appearance of love.

If waking up in the kindergarten nap ahead of time brings only boredom, then when the background of the story takes place in a darker and indifferent, boundless and vast universe, a person's awakening nearly a century in advance will bring about Endless sense of loneliness and despair. Fate chose Jim, he was unfortunate. But Jim chose Aurora, as if in an endless abyss of loneliness, instinctively grasped the last straw.

They dated, fell in love, kissed, and were even so sweet on the extravagant and luxurious spacecraft of the "Avalon". For a moment, they even forgot that they had been "abandoned" by this immigration journey.

Seeing Aurora enjoying the beauty of the end without knowing the truth about awakening, many people will stubbornly condemn Jim as "straight male cancer." Indeed, this term is very popular now. So if "The heroine wakes up early" in this plot, what title would you give her? (Here only smiles, no speech) Some netizens joked that they should wake up three people to make up a table to play mahjong. In fact, instead of struggling with this question, it is better to jump out of the video and ask yourself, what if it is yours that wakes up? Do you feel shuddering just by imagining it...

If the exploration of human nature pursues the most primitive and essential things, then the gorgeous coat of science fiction is the ultimate fantasy of the future. From the beginning of the spacecraft "Avalon" that carried this voyage, the extreme charm of technology shown in the film suddenly made me understand why it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, because when it first appeared At that time, you will find that it was born for this sea of ​​stars and for this highly anticipated journey.



Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous exterior, the interior is "pragmatism first." Comfortable rooms, cinemas, shopping centers, restaurants, bars, gyms, swimming pools, observation decks...Technology here provides meticulous services, instead of the usual Hollywood blockbusters, just bringing lively vision enjoy. "Avalon" is to the universe what "Titanic" is to the Atlantic Ocean, but fortunately this is not the last voyage of "Avalon".



So this is actually the space version of "Titanic"? In fact, the love in "Titanic" seems to be beautiful, but it is cruel. The luxurious ship carries a small society. Fortunately, there is no hierarchical barrier between Jack and Rose. Although Jim and Aurora are working-class "engineers", the other is a successful writer in New York. However, when they embraced each other in the vast universe, there was no disturbance from anyone, no material bondage, and it seemed that there was no tomorrow, but it presented the purest and beautiful love we could imagine.



Later, dog abuse resulted in a deep-space disaster. Well, it was actually a spacecraft malfunction... In this accident, Jim chose to sacrifice himself to save Aurora, a man who couldn’t stand loneliness and selfishly awakened others. Why did this happen again? Can choose self-sacrifice? Is there a bug here? In fact, the seemingly contradictory choice embodies the complex and pure, beautiful and moving essence of love to the fullest. The model of love should be like this-selfish and selfless.



At the moment when the last dormant warehouse appeared, they could have made a choice between each other in the future, but Jim and Aurora finally chose each other. Like the circular trajectory of the earth, Jim saved the "world", Aurora saved Jim, and they increased the thickness of each other's lives in the process of falling in love.



Although this unexpected accident completely disrupted the life trajectory of the two people, the green life that grew tenaciously in the indifferent universe at the end witnessed the best gift the two people got from their destiny. Do you still feel that fate itself is ruthless at this time? Although you will never go back to the sunny afternoon kindergarten, but fortunately, you can still board this spaceship that witnesses the purest love. If you don’t mind being sprinkled with dog food in a space adventure movie If so, the video is worth watching.
