I personally think that this is a very good science fiction movie. You can slow down and enjoy the unchanging nature of the universe. It may be a little different from the original plot, but this is a re-creation of the film, from the book purely through imagination to the film screen It’s specific, and there are some discrepancies. What the movie particularly satisfies me is the K23 planetary environment shown in the film and the spacecraft Ether sailing in space. The colors, composition, details, and contrast of light and shadow are excellent, which is extremely satisfying for the senses. Maybe mine The sight is too easy to satisfy, especially the little girl in the film Emily. This child has a pair of eyes that are always frightened and explored. It is inexplicably distressing. He wants to protect her, plus her The attachment to people, whether it is an imaginary phantom or an entity, I think she is a little girl who really needs protection and needs to be surrounded by love.
The film mainly tells that the scientist Augustine discovered that the previously undiscovered Jupiter planet k23 may be suitable for human colonization. A few years later, the Ether, which went to the planetary survey, returned to the earth, but the earth is no longer suitable for survival at this time, and all human beings have turned underground. Augustine, who was terminally ill, took the initiative to stay at the Arctic Research Station to contact the currently missing Ether, hoping to inform the Ether crew of the current details of the Earth, and give the Ether the freedom to choose to return to K23 or the Earth. During this period, due to changes in the earth's environment, a more powerful radar station was needed to contact the Ether. Augustine and Emily went through untold hardships and almost died as a result, finally completing their soul salvation. But these are all appearances. The film actually explores the loneliness of thought, the belonging of human nature, the choice of family, and the salvation of soul.
The beginning of the movie is the great migration of mankind. From the ground to the underground, Augustine, who stayed at the scientific research station alone, lived his life slowly, while maintaining his sick body with instruments, and routinely contacted the ether and wine every day. Spent drunk, and the unexpected arrival of the little girl Emily disrupted his peaceful life waiting to die. Maybe there are only these two humans left on the ground at the moment. Augustine, who can’t choose, can only take care of Amy. Li's responsibility. The little girl remained silent, but was able to get along with him in harmony. Her attachment deeply moved Augustine. I highly suspect that the little girl has autism. The environment, colors, and composition of the film attracted me from the beginning.
At this time, the Ether, which had not been able to contact, was lost because of the inability to obtain the Earth’s response coordinates. After a joint discussion between the captain and the crew, it was decided to continue sailing along the current route and at the same time strengthen contact with the Earth on all frequencies.
Augustine decided to take Emily to a more powerful radar station deep in the North Pole. This radar station is less affected by the current earth environment and can increase the chance of contacting the Ether. During the long journey, the plane crashed and an abandoned human settlement was discovered. However, the floating ice on the sea broke while staying overnight at the settlement. The two who were almost killed had no choice but to abandon all the supplies and means of transportation before they escaped. In the blizzard, he encountered a pack of wolves again, and Augustine, who was desperate and collapsed, finally found the sunshine of life on Emily, and finally found the radar station.
The Ether finally contacted Augustine who had rushed to the radar station, but at this time the spacecraft strayed into the meteorite array, causing damage to the spacecraft body and radar antenna. During the process of repairing the damaged parts, it encountered a meteor shower, causing the death of the crew member’s doctor. Although the members of the spacecraft were depressed at this time, fortunately the radar has been repaired to contact the earth, but they were even more frightened to learn about the current situation of the earth at this time, and everyone's opinions were divided.
The four crew members finally decided that the captain and her lover Alice would return to planet K23 and no longer return to Earth. The spacecraft pilot and repair technician missed the family’s call for home and decided to bring the doctor’s body home, even if he died. The family died together. When the captain and Alice watched the return cabin leave the mother ship and drifted away from the earth, it might be a question of where they were home.
At this time, on both ends of the radar, Augustine finally confirmed that Alice was his daughter with a premonition. The indulgence, exploration, and abandonment of his youth finally had a result. With mixed feelings, he pulled Emily’s Hand, standing under the arctic sky, the soul drifts forever at night.
