Dreams are like light, from one star to another

Facing a Leviathan-style world of violence, humanity has been alienated by technology, which is also the terrifying scene depicted by Huxley in Brave New World. A "defective person" has a dream of soaring to the stars, and overcomes many obstacles to finally leave the earth and embrace the stars. In the film, flying to the stars not only represents his eternal dream and persistence, but also reveals that the earth has become a hell that stifles dreams and humanity. Capitalism uses technology to bring mankind to a dead end of self-expansion and never turn back, and mankind is doomed to destruction. However, a few people still have dreams and perseverance. At the end of the film, the two were equally determined, "I just gave you my body, but you let me share your dreams."
When he finally got away from the earth and ascended into the starry sky, he said: "Now I finally leave the earth, but I am still a little reluctant. Some people say that stars are also made of atoms, and they are also part of our body. Maybe I did not leave, Maybe I'm going home."
Identity doesn't matter, flaws don't matter. Human beings are based on dreams, dreams are like light, from one star to another.

    Vincent: [voiceover] For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.

  • Vincent: Is the only way you can succeed is to see me fail?
