A Place Nearby

"I wanna ask you not to cry, I'll always be by your side" Lynne Marlene's line is precise right up to the film's end credits: ET touches Elliott's forehead with his glowing fingertips and says to him: "I'M HERE", which translates to: "I will always be in your memory" So don't say STAY again, because we never parted.

What kind of story is this? A picture book in which human beings are excited to discover new species and can't wait to dissect and recreate them, thinking that they can evangelize human beings. Sometimes I think, curiosity is the source of creativity, but where exactly should it be placed? Whether it should be divided into categories like the Dutch Society in the eighteenth century in the fields of trade, industry, agriculture, art and science, but not in biology and social circles; At the same time, the abyss is staring at you." Assuming that I want to give an answer now, I choose "life"; I maintain curiosity and desire to explore non-living matter, and maintain distance and respect for any creature that exists in the form of life. Whether it is E·T, all kinds of people in real life, blue whales inhabiting Novaya Zemlya, unknown wildflowers blooming on the roadside (in my school and the roadside in the inner ring road of the university city often blooming against the blue sky Flowers and plants that can’t be called) are all equal creatures in a sense, all of which can only be appreciated, as for curiosity, control and destruction. The obvious point is that since we can't explain whether the soul is separated from the body after death, we also have no way of knowing what happens to other living things when they become inactive. Curiosity is pointless at this point.

This film also reminded me of another question - why do you still want to go back to your childhood when you are an adult? Let’s talk about one characteristic first: only children have the full capacity for unconditional respect . There may be many adults who are tired and commuting between reality and see the cleaning staff hard at work on their way home from work on the subway and then exclaim: "Ah! It's really hard for them", but only because they started from the beginning. Rank these people and the positions they are in at heart. It seems that the higher self also has some kind of compassion derived from so-called goodness, and feels misfortune for those poor people. This respect is a little more self-salvation, and it is not complete. Children, on the other hand, observe the world and play with it without any extras attached.

Insert a topic that has nothing to do with it - at the moment when the thought of feeling pity for others occurs, the creator of it immediately becomes not very pitiful.

The last thing I want to mention is about the costumes; Coyote's keys are sassy as soon as they appear, showing them as big brothers. He reminds me of my good old friend LK, maybe they fit the same outfit, I can bring this outfit to her as a conversation next time - that's what I thought of when I noticed the outfits in the end credits of Keys. Turtleneck sweater one-piece shirt, linen or dark gray Baker visor with red-rimmed cat-eye narrow sunglasses. It's not difficult to meet, I, E·T and LK are all in a place, and for us, a place nearby is the best preface.

    The year that I graduated from junior high school happened to be the 20th anniversary. I went to Yidu with my sister to see it. At that time, I just hated not bringing facial tissues... I cried.

    Why do I start crying every time I see a movie of kids + aliens or robots, I have a problem with the magic horse...

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial quotes

  • Keys: Elliott, that machine, what does it do?

    Elliott: [in a sickly voice] The communicator? Is it still working?

    Keys: It's doing *something*. What?

    Elliott: I really shouldn't tell. He came to me, he came to me.

    Keys: Elliott, he came to me too. I've been wishing for this since I was 10 years old, I don't want him to die. What can we do that we're not already doing?

    Elliott: He needs to go home; he's calling his people. And I don't know where they are, but he needs to go home.

    Keys: Elliott, I don't think he was left here intentionally, but his being here is a miracle, Elliott. It's a miracle and you did the best that anybody could do. I'm glad he met you first.

  • Michael: [imitating Elliot] I found him, he belongs to me!
