Old movie, at that time, computers were still in the stage where windows were not popularized. But because of limited conditions, the imagination is amazing. The beginning is a little creepy, creating a suspenseful atmosphere. The husband and wife study dolphins and keep dolphins at home. The space scene that should be simulated by the model, the so-called mysterious existence in space like a tombstone, and a black hole swallowing objects. The dead people mysteriously appear in front of people in the form of radio waves, illusory images and realistic projections, and the expression is very clever. The attack of unknown energy, although the plot is slightly false, because if the spaceship is attacked in that way, it is estimated that it is difficult for humans to survive. And, in the artificial intelligence that is still hotly discussed today, at the stage when computers and the Internet are still in their infancy, that artificial intelligence, which can talk to people, can think, and can complete tasks independently when humans are in distress, that dangerous but true human nature A computerized machine that encounters logical errors so it malfunctions, and self-destructs in order to protect human beings. Unlike some sci-fi machines that have a human body, they are very close to the human mind. In fact, it is very close to the core of AI. Machines can accept information input and output and program coding, imitate human thinking to make judgments, and even accept self-destruction under the so-called trade-off of pros and cons. And there is such a thing as a sun in the universe. I always feel that today's people don't dare to think about it, and their imaginations are limited in a very narrow range. The so-called rapid development of science and technology, human beings really have no progress.
