A man's life is to escape from his father. I think I probably can't understand this sentence now, I can only imagine Roy's struggle when he let go of his father's hand. . I think of the hand that manipulates the puppet in "The Red Box". It is patriarchy, which envelopes the entire society in such a huge way. The film also says: Every boy is born twice, once from his mother's womb, and once from his father. We see the relationship between Skywalker and Darth Vader in Star Wars, and Toy Story Libas Lightyear and Za The relationship between Krishnamurti, these descriptions put the man and his father on the opposite side. From the concrete killing of the father in the tragedy of Oedipus, to the extreme desire to escape from the clutches of patriarchy in today's society, we know that only by killing the father in a meaningful way can we gain freedom. Because the father is the one who traps everything. In "Star Rescue," Roy said that he cut off his emotional connection with others and sealed himself in a harmless space, which was derived from his father's departure. We also saw that Roy walked on the space path that his father had paved for him without knowing it, and this journey to find his father was also the beginning of the killing of his father. He has always believed firmly that his father is dead and will not come back, or it should be said that he convinced himself that this is the truth, his father's departure is like a wound on his body, but he has to cut it over and over again. After stitching, these depressed and untreated emotions and emotions accumulate into a tumor in my heart, sometimes faintly painful. His anger was suppressed, all his emotions were closed, and he could only understand his father by becoming as ruthless as his father. Or, he became his father at all. "I don't want to be my father." This is the determination behind his father-killing. He does not want to live in the shadow of his father anymore, and he does not want to be labeled as the son of that great astronaut. He is him and must escape that. cage. But ah, a man killed his own father, and one day he will become someone else's father. Escape from the cage of patriarchy, and one day will become the cage itself. Because the father is the one who traps everything. The father is the one who traps everything.

    After replaying, I was completely poked by my father's last sentence "There are not many people like us", thanks to Gray for photographing his own things with capital money, and raising five stars. // Aside from those formal things, Gray's biggest advantage is that no matter what the subject is, the core of his story is always the most classic, which is Shakespeare's, which is why "Interstellar Exploration" is still after the visible capital destruction. It retains its classic charm. But don't watch it with the expectation of space Bergman like I do. If you give Bergman hundreds of millions, he will not make science fiction films. He will tell you that it is possible but not necessary.

    75/100 This is a story of restoring "humanity". The audio-visual is top-notch aesthetic taste. Before watching it, I knew it was the sky version of "Heart of Darkness", but it was actually a lost Z city in deep space, but unfortunately it was me. Looking forward to the high-end ending like the Lost City of Z, it still didn't happen. Not only did it not happen, I think its ending was too willful, whether it was in the language of the lens or the language of the text. The audience is responsible.

But beneath their sublime surfaces there was nothing. No love or hate. No light or dark. He could only see what was not there and missed what was right in front of him.

But beneath their sublime surfaces... there was nothing. No love or hate. No light or dark. He could only see what was not there... and missed what was right in front of him.
