trembling

The story is minimal and the background is single. When it comes to gravity, these two words probably cannot escape. In the past few years when movies such as dazzling Transformers and complex such as Inception, it is so out of place. It can even be said that it is bizarre and cannot be easily classified. It is precisely like this, which makes people see that the seemingly different aliens in the science fiction films that have appeared in the past are just self-projections of the earthlings in an unimaginative way. Gravity, on the other hand, shows the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings in the vast and infinite universe in an almost realistic way, and digs into the depths of loneliness and emptiness. It is the boundless darkness that makes people realize that the source of fear is the unknown and loneliness. In the vast universe overhead, the darkness opens, no color, no dust, no company, and no echo. The unreachable unknown, the great loneliness hanging in the boundless darkness. Those are emotions that people living on this blue planet have never experienced in their long life experience. Just like a two-dimensional creature, it is impossible to imagine the existence of a third dimension in three-dimensional space.

Spinning, dark, weightless, gasping, abruptly stopped background music. It is unimaginable that the director used his life's experience, experience and thinking, exhausted all the technical fields he had been involved in, tried all kinds of camera positions, lighting, and painstakingly arranged plot twists and turns and endless editing. effect, or is it a stroke of genius who knows all possible effects in advance? Soundtrack, photography, lighting, special effects, and other technologies that the film industry can do, it has almost reached the pinnacle of this era.

Such a thing is as terrifying as the boundless universe.

As for the maternal metaphor, it is inexplicable to me. Rebirth and self-salvation, such elements are not enough to make a movie transcend an era. What can transcend an era is to place the audience on a grand scale measured in light-years, and feel the terrifying beauty in the vastness, as well as the loneliness and helplessness, the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings that have never been experienced under this magnificent beauty. . It is precisely because of such fear and helplessness that the scene of finally returning to Earth can have such a shocking appeal. More importantly, it makes people have to look from the world to space and rethink the word "meaning". Milky Way, black hole, corona, red giant, white dwarf, thruster, solar panel, the words blurred out of sight. The epic march to space has come to an end, and perhaps the few moon landings that have been and are now are the limits of human exploration of the universe. We are locked in a lonely inner world with the earth spinning, and we are performing endless reincarnations. The glittering, the heavy, the ones that require imagination to complete the contours, have fallen out of time, and there is no room for them here.
