I like the movie review (absolute belief and relative belief) of the currently hottest Moon Watcher! Basically speaking out about my flaws in this movie. Supplement below.

I thought it was pretty good when I watched the front, but the film fell apart from the moment when the sage asked the heroine whether she believed in God or not. I think as a scientist, the heroine's better answer to this question is: I don't need to believe in the existence of God. At present, there is no convincing evidence to prove that God exists, so logically I tend to God No, if there is strong new evidence one day, then I or even the entire scientific community will overthrow our previous views and convert to God. This is science. Science is not like mathematics. Science only relies on the available evidence (experimental results, etc.) to select the most likely hypothesis to produce these results. If there is a result that contradicts the original hypothesis in the future , then the scientific community is happy to overthrow previous assumptions and make new ones. So science is never right, it largely represents the most probable assumptions we can make with our current human cognition. In addition, to a senior NSA official in the film: Occam's razor is not for you to abuse, you ignore the premise of this principle - you even investigate whether the two assumptions you make can be perfectly explained The status quo is based on the subjective belief that both assumptions are reasonable, while one assumption is simple and the other is complex. It is necessary to investigate whether the big local tyrants manipulated the whole thing. If so, there will always be some clues left; and if the heroine really crosses, then there must be some abnormal evidence, such as 18 hours of video, etc. If it is true The only thing is that there is none at all, either this matter is really beyond the current human cognition, or this time-travel is false, so it is reasonable to make the inference that the heroine has not traveled through (it can only be reasonable, It is not correct, because Occam's razor is only suitable for principles, not principles, theorems, axioms, and this principle also has a "

    Zemigis’s big scene scheduling can still see the influence of the film kids: the location of the radio telescope where people of all colors gather, the editing and mirroring scheduling are not chaotic, and Larry and Bush appear on the scene to enhance the sense of reality, but also There are some inexplicable designs, such as the researcher who talks to himself with dull eyes like a mentally retarded person next to Foster. I don't see any meaning except for the actor who is robbing the show. Foster is the absolute narrative core of the film. All the inheritance and transformation are due to her. She has a strong personality to chase the truth of extraterrestrial signals (even a bit unpleasant). There is also a side line about her nostalgia for her father, and she chases after it. Chasing, the final answer is for the secondary line. Of course, there are a lot of religious content on the secondary line, such as believers who are extreme to blew up to prevent the launch, such as the false priest McConaughey who read inexplicable lines-this film is considered to be There was an inadequate interpretation of "the end of science is religion." Maybe Zemigis intended to show the terrifying strength of the American religious world in realism, but I still looked dazed: what? Find an alien and finally find a vain love?

    4.5/5 Based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name, it is an inspiring film about the exploration of the unknown, which is the eternal theme of the progress of humanity. Also inspired Nolan's Interstellar (2014). The determination of space exploration despite obstacles ahead is the same in these two films. In Interstellar, the drive is more understandable as the space voyage harbours hope for saving mankind. In Contact, the motivation is seeking answers to big questions and the scientific truth. Exceptionally played by Jodie Foster, the brilliant and strong-minded female protagonist is a firm-believer and pursuer of science.
