The ultimate of science fiction is philosophy

The picture quality of 17GB, after reading and listening to teacher Dai Jinhua’s sharing: science fiction films that do not use any space spectacles, in the old tower, the ultimate of science fiction is philosophy. Regarding post-humanism: how to recognize people, the world, and the existence of inhumans? Fictionalized Solaris, pointing to the absurdity and limited understanding of anthropocentrism. Can human beings know everything with the help of reason? There are unreachable places in cognition, and there are unrecognizable energy in the universe. Terror comes from the abyss of human memory, and faces oneself with the return of memory. All the knowledge we recognize is based on anthropocentrism, and whether the final shots leave the space station is still in suspense. Color (objective, realistic, scientific) and black and white (long shots, montages, emotional world) shots are mixed. In the mixed shots, the protagonist begins to give up struggling and choose a world outside of human understanding. All shots no longer have a subjective and objective distinction, being tracked and stared by absent eyes, surreal and oppressive. The survivors cannot talk, because the task of the scientist itself is to explore, learn and explain, but this cannot enter the logic of rationalism, it is the inner anxiety and desire that cannot be detected, and the inexpressibility of language.

"The secrets of happiness, death, and love." Touching on multiple ultimate questions, Lao Ta can present philosophical thinking in a "seeing" way. There are still many things to be excavated, which will be revisited in the future.

    I get up as early as work on weekends. Except for being sleepy and crying, I didn't get anything special. The space station is like an ordinary ground room. It's too unreal. The girl is very beautiful. Is it to express that people can die for love, and something can live for love? The first Tower God film, forgive me for not understanding too much...

    8.5 I think 2001 is more in line with the definition of science fiction if we talk about science fiction. This one is more like using a sci-fi coat, setting the proposition of human and non-human, and discussing more metaphysical issues, free will, rationality and sensibility/science and emotion. At this moment, I suddenly feel that Laota is extremely sensitive and fragile. A gentle person, he still has "love" for the individual suffering caused by the destruction of cognition and reality at this time. Kubrick is space, and Tarkovsky is consciousness. Flowing water herbs are meaningless, but when I no longer use my personal cognition to measure the unknown value, at this moment I can symbiotically float with it in the water. The proposition that if memory is regenerated, whether humans just need human conclusions, hope to remain mysterious forever.

Solaris quotes

  • Dr. Snaut: If you see something out of the ordinary, something besides me and Sartorius, try not to lose your head.

    Kris Kelvin: What would I see?

    Dr. Snaut: I don't know, that sort of depends on you.

  • Kris Kelvin: Your position is absurd. Your so-called courage is inhuman.
