For me, this movie is not that complicated, it is just a belief.

When I was a child, cctv6 played "Contact in Time and Space". It was the first time I watched this movie. This movie had a great influence on me. At that time, I was still a child who fantasized about encountering aliens, encountering their own magical things, and going to bed at night thinking about what stories are happening somewhere in the universe. I remember crying so hard at the movie, because when I was a kid I believed in aliens, and my father told me no, I said everything is possible to believe what happened, my dad said he wouldn’t believe without evidence, I said yes Isn't it your own business? My dad said it's not strict. The contact with this movie from time to time gave me a belief and an attitude towards science or what I wanted in my heart, which greatly inspired me and made me love astronomy even more. After a lapse of many years, I watched "Contact in Time and Space" again. At this time, I realized that this film was my real enlightenment to astronomy, because I went from being curious about the universe to thinking on a spiritual level. I was infected by the heroine when I was a child. I like that heroine. She is serious and persistent, and refuses to give up. She is enthusiastic and willing to give everything to pursue what she wants. It is just because she believes in it, so she works hard to prove it. I like this dream catcher, it's really beautiful! This movie gave me hope. If I really say what's so good about this movie, I can only say that for me as a child, it changed me, it gave a child great encouragement and firm belief, and it made the child see a hero (that is, the heroine), whenever she is hit by reality, she can always think of what this heroine brought her from time to time. I sometimes wonder why I love astronomy so much, I can't get the answer, but I think of the heroine in the movie staring at the stars. If I watched this movie as an adult, the meaning might have changed, and it wouldn't hold a god in my heart, because with the times, I'm also becoming impetuous, and I can feel the essence of a movie when I have time. After watching it, I may only comment. This movie is not bad, because the subject matter is not rich, and I will not be like myself when I was a child. I worship the heroine so much, maybe I just think she is cliché. And it’s not the movie that caused these changes, it’s just me. The heroine is still so worthy of appreciation and respect, but I have become unable to discover these beauties. When I think about the heroine’s behavior, I won’t be like a child. As simple, I will consider it very complicated because of reality. Maybe I don't like myself that much, but I know that I liked myself very much when I was a child, and the heroine also liked me very much in the end. Finally, thank you for seeing this movie, I think about it because it pushes me forward again, who doesn't like myself enough.
