It's two different feelings from the original

In the original work, there are also two lines of daughter and alien, but in the original work, the line of daughter is more like recalling the past, rather than "remembering" the future. From the plot point of view, the line of daughter and alien in the original work The relationship between the lines is very weak, and it has almost no function to promote the development of the plot. It is more like some static interludes. But these interludes make the emotion of the original work more delicate and three-dimensional. The aliens in the original work have the tone of higher civilization, I came here inexplicably, walked away inexplicably, did some inexplicable things, and acted as if it was about my bird and yours. This kind of inexplicable line and my daughter's line, in my feelings, echoed each other subtly, together It makes the original work give me a very delicate, very moving, and somewhat puzzled and sadness that seems to have been there.

The sci-fi foundation in the original book is very praised, but the emotion of the original book is the main reason why I like this work so much

There are some adaptations in the movie that make you look confused, such as the line of General Shang, such as the image and intention of the aliens are too specific, such as not enough white space

But oddly enough, it still strikes me as a whole

The daughter line in the movie is much more functional. The heroine's past, present, and future are combined into a complete puzzle, and the time in this puzzle is non-linear, or must be non-linear in order to form a meaningful unity For example, the incident where the heroine and General Shang called on the phone was chaotic, and the heroine "remembered" the future before she knew what to do now. This adaptation, coupled with the way the film was advanced and the music, brought about A different feeling, a little... detached?

Some people say that the heroine's cognitive structure changes and can foresee the future because she has learned language, which is not scientific at all. I would rather understand that aliens have changed the heroine's brain structure (or higher-end gameplay) in a way of advanced civilization. )

(There's an analysis tool in the movie like Mathematica?)
