This sci-fi movie, which was born in the 1970s, is older than my age. The special effects in it seem a little rough today, but this does not affect its beauty.
As an older science fiction film, his plot is nothing more than the contact between humans and aliens. But compared to other more exciting and imaginative science fiction films, "The Third Type of Contact" seems to pay more attention to the concept of humanities.
When encountering certain unnatural and mysterious phenomena, people—including mothers, children, husbands, scientists, governments...These people have their own reactions.
Their origin, social status, personality, and age prompt them to make different decisions; and the instinct of human beings to face unknown things brings them together.
Children are innocent and carefree, calm and sincere. For Barry, the whole world is unfamiliar to him, every scenery is a novelty that he has never seen before, and every little thing is an adventure.
Therefore, the aliens are no different from their own electric cars. His mother gave him enough love so that he could treat the whole world with tenderness.
Opposite Barry is his mother, a gentle single mother. The three views of adults are mature enough that when faced with situations beyond the scope of life, panic, anxiety, and fear will all appear. This panic that belongs to an adult is in sharp contrast to Barry's calm curiosity.
If Barry's mother represents fear and fear, then Roy may represent human indelible curiosity and sense of adventure. He is the father of three children, but he has kept the blood and dreams of the young man intact.
The adventure that night made him crazily yearning for the spaceship almost madness. So he embarked on the road of searching. Against the demobilized crowd, evading government searches, climbing up the mysterious mountain in the gloomy night, finally saw the human base.
The spacecraft was radiant, and landed at the appointed place at the appointed time. Like a dream, Roy even leaned on the rock and kissed Barry's mother in a way that couldn't help it.
This is a stray and frank, brave and stubborn man.
He was finally selected by aliens and boarded the spaceship. Maybe, this life will not return to the earth. What's more, he was sent back to Earth a hundred years later, still so young.
