A noble ideal for all mankind.

I haven't seen many sci-fi movies, so the subject matter is still very attractive to me. I'm going to touch briefly on what's remarkable about this film in two of the most obvious ways. (If you don't like it, don't spray it)

First, the filming method of this movie is different. I can say that in the first 20 minutes of the movie, I was very dizzy. Plus, being a liberal arts student, there are a lot of terms that I can't understand. "A sci-fi pseudo-documentary" is how I define it.

It is such a method that will make us feel the director's rigorous and awe-inspiring attitude towards science. In this case, viewers can feel the real life of astronauts in outer space, which is very ordinary but very real and delicate. For example, James is documenting his own life and wants to show his son; girls complain about the lack of clothes; besides eating, drinking, sleeping, and working, they are accompanied by a bunch of machines.

Second, is the theme of the film. Through Rosa's mouth, "Compared to the breadth of knowledge yet to be known, what does the life actually matter?" This may be that after losing one teammate, there will still be a second teammate willing to move forward to explore this unknown Europa, I saw a group of astronauts who could give their lives for science. When they knew that they had to face death, they chose to connect to the communication facilities and transmitted the obtained data back to Earth. What they exchanged for their lives was a new understanding of the unknown Europa by all mankind.

Rosa's words appear twice in the movie. The first was exciting, the second was tragic. In the face of the unknown world, human beings are really too small. Is a person's life important in advancing the journey of exploring the unknown? Everyone has a benchmark in their hearts that can be measured. This is a lofty ideal related to all mankind, that is, to explore the unknown and to advance the cause of science, you can dedicate your most precious life.

Off topic, I admire those people who are tirelessly doing academic work, so much that I want to read a doctorate, do research and write papers TT

    A well-established exploratory sci-fi film, paving the way for exploration at sacrifice, this is the greatness of human nature
