Past 2010

The desire of this film is obvious. In the last era of the Cold War in the 1980s, many American and Russian films produced at that time expressed the same concept, that is, to abandon the hope of peace. The film's expression of this wish is very straightforward. It naturally brings people's hearts together through an international cooperative space mission. There are not too many concrete images, and all the expressions are logical. Of course, except for the mysterious aerial stele and the last second sun.

What is gratifying is that today, more than 20 years later, we find that the good wishes we entrusted back then can not be regarded as fully fulfilled, especially in today's era of social turmoil and terrorist activities. However, the relationship between Russia and the United States is indeed much better than during the Cold War, and people have broken a lot of prejudices and communicated more together. I think this is what I felt and moved the most when watching this film.

    2010 is an excellent sci-fi commercial. The text is clear and the purpose is clear. The dialogue and final statement between Doctor James and Hal are quite touching. Although its artistic consideration is completely different from the previous work, it will not affect my love for it. "We have witnessed the process of the birth of life, maybe this is what the earth has experienced hundreds of millions of years ago. Or maybe it is completely different. I still don't understand what the stone tablet is. It is a collection of all phenomena, beyond what we know. A manifestation of intelligent beings, like elephants are invisible. Your children will be born in a world with two suns. They will take the sun for granted. You can tell them that when the sky is still dark, the stars are dimmed , the night is frightening. You can tell them that when we are alone, we can point to the stars and say to ourselves that there is life there. Children born under the new sun will meet children under the old sun. They will become Friends. When everyone looks up at the sky and realizes that we are just passers-by in this world, we have already accepted the warning from the master of the universe."

    This Chinese translation is inexplicable, "Megatron Eyes", how did you come up with this name? It's a good movie, with great ideas. It's a pity that the Soviet Union didn't last until the 1990s, and now we haven't been able to go to the moon in 2012.
