Your only chance is to talk about life and ideals with this bomb with its own mind and hope that it will dispel the idea of exploding on its own. Hence the following dialogue -
Crew Dolittle: Hello, bomb! are you there?
Bomb: Of course.
Doolittle: Do you want to embrace some new ideas?
Bomb: I'm always open to new ideas.
Doolittle: Great, then think about it this way: How can you be sure that you exist?
Bomb: Well, of course I exist.
Doolittle: But how do you know you exist?
Bomb: Isn't that obvious.
Doolittle: Yes, at a glance, but there is no evidence. Is there any concrete evidence that you exist?
Bomb: Um... well... I think so I'm here!
Doolittle: Very good, very good. But how do you know that other things are real?
Bomb: My sensors told me. This is really interesting.
After a discussion full of existential philosophy, the Bomb No. 20 fell into deep thinking, and its intelligent system is now a "brain in a vat". It finally came to a realization: "The only definite existence in the universe is myself. At the beginning of chaos, there was only darkness. Darkness is invisible and empty, and only I exist in it. I approached the darkness and saw only my own shape. Single. Let there be light." So, bang! There is light in the universe.
This is the most interesting and absurd classic scene in the sci-fi film "Black Star".
We know that the director of a sci-fi movie is like a crab on a rope. When you pull it, you will find that there is a connection. For example, Cameron was stimulated to shoot "Terminator" after watching Lucas' "Star Wars". , Ridley Scott was also stimulated to film "Alien". This 1974 sci-fi film "Black Star" was made by director John Carpenter after being stimulated by 1968's "2001 A Space Odyssey". The difference is that "Terminator" and "Alien" are well-made and have excellent special effects, and they have become Top 10 regulars in the history of science fiction movies. And this "Carpenter" John went the other way: I couldn't make "2001 A Space Odyssey", so I made "Sleepwalking in Space"! "Black Star" can be seen as a dark and humorous version of "2001: A Space Odyssey", or a sci-fi version of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (although it came out a year earlier than "Monty Python and the Holy Grail").
The film presents crude special effects with a B-level film attitude that is not ashamed but proud: the spaceship is as unrefined as a cottage electrical factory, the alien is a big tomato-like balloon wrapped around a person, and the space scene It's like what children paint on a drawing board... The epic atmosphere of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the spirit of exploration of "Star Trek" heroism are completely invisible in "Black Star". In this film, space is no longer the last frontier of mankind, but only the domain of a few bored plumber-like young hippie astronauts.
Rough special effects, a lot of interior shots, and snarky dialogue all combine to form a bizarre style: rebellious, dazed, irrational, hopeless, depressing (in the cabin) and 1960s and 70s. The loneliness, coldness, vastness, and greatness of space (outside the cabin) form a strong contrast. The theme of the relationship between "universe and human" is reflected in the absurd, funny and even inexplicable actions of several protagonists. Especially at the end of the film, when the crew and No. 20, the most neglected AI/robot bomb in the film's history of science fiction movies, discussed philosophical issues in an attempt to solve a very realistic survival dilemma, the realm of "Black Star" was lifted to the top. "As soon as man thinks, God laughs" height!
Unlike the crude sci-fi horror films of the 1930s and 1950s—such as Ed Wood's 'Outer Space Program 9'—Black Star turns low-budget sci-fi into a deliberate The stylistic features make this crudeness of production a manifestation of the spiritual core of comics, absurdity and irony. Since 1977, "Star Wars" has made science fiction movies synonymous with special effects blockbusters, but John Carpenter has always adhered to the spiritual concept of B-level films, and has continued to shoot "The Thing", "The Great Escape from New York", " Extreme Space", "Devil Returns Soul" and other very distinctive sci-fi and horror films.
At the end of "Black Star", the astronauts surfed at high speed in space like supermen or gods as the bomb exploded and flew to the earth! At that moment, he saw the legendary phoenix planet that circles the universe once every 12.3 trillion years - whether it is worship, fear or jokes, the universe embraces your small life with a divine mind. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the grand background of the universe that even the smallest life can be attributed to eternity.
