It’s not so much an alien expedition as it is a parallel world exploration

The scientific nature of this drama is naturally not as good as Star Trek Interstellar Crossing and other dramas, but it takes the easy and funny route, and does not expect to really use this amount of funds to create top-notch special effects scenes, so in fact fine. I think the focus of this play should be the people and things they met during the voyage, which triggered thinking about the rationality of some things. So Ed and their space exploration is not so much an investigation of unknown areas in the universe as it is a hypothesis of the parallel world of mankind.

The episodes of Patus’ child changing gender, evaluating planets, and Kelly becoming the core of an alien civilization’s religious beliefs were the first thing I thought of.

In the first season, the customs of the home star of Patus, Mokran, are also really strange. In the first season, women are considered to be disabled and need sex reassignment surgery to change to men. In the second season, they need to urinate once a year and divorce and need to stabbing their partners. I can’t imagine. But I was shocked. Other members of the Interstellar Federation, including us, feel that these traditions are contrary to universal values. Although these practices have their historical factors in it, whether they are still suitable has yet to be verified, so maybe We have to think about what is the bottom line of respect for other ethnic cultures.

Evaluate the planet. All affairs are determined only based on the number of likes and disapprovals. There is no law. All people like and disapprove is the highest law. If a person is opposed more than a million times, he will be forced to become a grateful brain-dead. A properly tyranny of the majority. What is the difference between this and the pottery exile law? Normally, it is impossible for this kind of society to develop to the level of human science and technology in the early 21st century, but this film also ignores these details. Well, the Internet now has this kind of smell.

Kelly has become the religious core of a civilization. Perhaps every civilization will experience such a theocracy in the early stage of its development, and it will gradually die out with the development of technology and humanities. Can't help but wonder whether our gods were also travelers from high-tech alien civilizations.

It's a good movie, and it's very enjoyable to watch.

It’s been a long time since I watched the episode of Patus Children’s sex change. Many details are only remembered by other bean friends’ film reviews, and it also brought me more thinking.

Patus was shocked by the human culture, and he realized that women are not manifestations of physical disabilities. Petus’s partner, Kelden, was once a female. Because of discrimination, he was transformed into a male by his father and father at a very young age. This secret was not discovered until Kelden grew up. He thought that if the child was a female, she would in the future. There is a lot of discrimination, so it must be transgender. Both sides have their own considerations.

Morkland’s arms industry is a first-class industry, the environment is harsh, and it requires a rough-skinned and high-powered labor force. In addition, it takes an average of seventy-five years to be born a woman. It is natural to think that women are manifestations of physical disabilities. This idea is deep. Deeply pierced in the hearts of the Moklan people.

It is undoubtedly correct and progressive for Patus to realize that women are not physically disabled, but Kelden’s consideration depends on deep-rooted concepts on the one hand, and on the other hand he does not want children to be bullied and discriminated against. After all, even the greatest on their planet All of the writers are not recognized because of her female identity, so she can only hide in the cave and die alone, not to mention his children.

Not surprisingly, although Kelly’s exposition is fuller, even the greatest writers have come out to say that women are not disabled, but civilization is not as easy as a single individual like Patus to change their customs and ideas. The lawyer on the other side even came out to accuse the writer, saying that because she is a female, she is more sensitive in nature, and because she is lonely, she has more time to think before she becomes a writer. The child still has to have sex reassignment surgery. Because of this, Patus was depressed for a long time, and even in the second season, he didn't want to have a relationship with Kelden, but became addicted to pornography in the simulator, and Kelden almost went with him. Divorced (stabbed him to death with a dagger).

This reminds me of the bad habit of binding small feet, but the difference is that binding of small feet must be done when I was young, and sex reassignment surgery can also be done when I grow up.

Perhaps a better way is to tell her from an early age that women are not disabled, and then wait until the child grows up to let her freely choose whether to do surgery or not to do it. However, the pain caused by bullying and discrimination by the entire society cannot be evaded by a well-educated father.

The personal sacrifices made for progress are ultimately difficult to bear. Someone must take this step, and the first mover will eventually be painful, but why must it be my child? Perhaps most parents think so, including Kelden.
