Lucifer reading "A Brief History of Time"——From "Winter Romance", the text and empty words clearly make this film a little interesting. It is not the words about the true meaning of life spoken by the heroine in her somewhat hoarse voice, but silence In this scene, the devil goes to see the devil Lucifer, who was reading "A Brief History of Time." "A Brief History of Time" is a popular work at the end of the twentieth century, and the story of this film takes place in the beginning of the twentieth century. The appearance of this book here seems out of place. However, considering that God exists beyond time, even if the devil-Lucifer is not as transcendent as God, he may still have a certain ability to cross time like God. In this way, it is understandable that Lucifer was able to see it decades before the publication of A Brief History of Time. However, why did the film arrange for Lucifer to read "A Brief History of Time"? [Contradiction: Eternity-Time] The core conceptual element of the plot of the film is "love". The contradiction surrounding this concept is "eternity-time". The point it wants to convey is: true love can produce miracles. Miracles can overcome time and lead to eternity. To express such a viewpoint, it can only be presented through fairy-tale fantasy or mythical coincidence. It has no basis in scientific theories and in "A Brief History of Time." "A Brief History of Time" is based on quantum mechanics and general relativity, with the big bang theory and black hole theory as the object of investigation, and discusses the fate of the universe or the evolution of time. In this kind of scientific natural picture, there are no miracles, human true love has no effect, but only cold time and unforgiving evolution. Looking at it this way, the appearance of "A Brief History of Time" in this film also seems to have a contradiction in theme. However, "A Brief History of Time" is silent in the film, with no words other than a brief expression. In this way, the contradiction on the theme is also silent. [Light: Source of Time] There is an object agreement between "A Brief History of Time" and Lucifer. In "A Brief History of Time", or in quantum mechanics or relativity, the central thing is "light." Understanding the attributes of light is the key to time or the destiny of the universe. The speed of light is the limit of the speed of the universe, and light is energy, the basis of all possibilities. Lucifer, as the demon king, was the angel of light before he fell into the darkness. As a creation, it has a position comparable to light. In this way, Lucifer's reading of "A Brief History of Time" is equivalent to knowing oneself through a human perspective, or equivalent to examining how humans describe it. In "Genesis", light also has the most fundamental position. The decree of God alone connects God and the world, and is the first thing in God's thoughts before the world. In other words, light is the world. Although "A Brief History of Time" is a picture of a scientific theory that examines the destiny or time of the universe in an almost ruthless manner, there does not seem to be eternity or God's place in it. However, once it tries to explore the most essential root of time and the first impulse of the universe, then it has progressed to its limit. Natural science theories have found that no matter the origin of time, the singularity of the Big Bang, or the indifferent origin, it is difficult to find a reason or basis. At this time, God was rediscovered by people in good time. It seems that Catholicism therefore declared that the picture of the universe's destiny described in "A Brief History of Time" is consistent with the Christian doctrine of creation. This can of course be a kind of humor, but not necessarily a joke. [Disgusting time] The disgust of time is understandable. People generally can't find meaning in "A Brief History of Time", no matter whether the fate of the universe goes to heat death, or returns to a great collapse, or continues to operate mechanically. All meanings, all pursued, can be obliterated in the passage of time. The primary disgust of time preparation is the destruction of goodness. The heroine in the film is a terminally ill patient, and her existence is a doomed or delimited passing away. This delineated disappearance makes people care about "today" or "now", so that it can put aside the conspiracy, cunning, sin or ruthlessness that people have when they imagine the "future". This seems pretty good. However, time awaits the beauty of murder. For time, conspiracy is the art of its existence. Another disgust of time preparation is the passage of time. [Longing for eternity] Will the eternal sky be the starry sky? According to the intent of the film, it seems to have experienced the miracle of love. After death, human beings turn into stars, can they be eternal? "A Brief History of Time" says: That's nonsense! In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
