Finding presence in fiction

I have always felt that Galaxy Quest and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" have some similarities, perhaps because both have plots of small characters living in a lonely and unfamiliar environment after being far away from their homes on the earth. However, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is more It talks more about the nihility of people, but the theme of Galaxy Quest is the sense of existence.
Since it was originally just a popular work for people to laugh, and there is no original work of science fiction as the basis, Galaxy Quest does not have so many ridicules in all aspects like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", it is more of a kind It's almost childlike and humorous, ranging from the eight-catch-fish alien who can invent a spacecraft that travels through the universe but doesn't know how to deceive even a fictional movie; to the noisy and dissatisfied "Space Task Force" members; and that The NOBODY actor with a flying machine; until the final duel with the badass aliens, the plot and performance are not the key issues at this time. The movie just presents a fresh and simple movie style of the 60s.
Another interesting aspect of this film is that as actors playing the "Space Commando", some people are still very accomplished in performance, but what really reflects their value is through the performance of this soap opera. After the soap opera was stopped, everyone’s value seemed to have disappeared, until the real aliens came to visit, and life continued in an extremely unreal and fictional way, and everyone seemed to be real people. The movie In fact, it also provides such a fiction for everyone who is immersed in dreams.
