I don't know if modern means of communication will bring people closer or farther. To be sure, once, it brought two people so close. Not hyperspace, of course, but clearly beyond space. If a restriction is added for the sake of rigor, it is in a partial sense, beyond the space.
I have never met you at your residence and you have never met me at my residence. We seem to be far away. However, waking up in the morning, evening in the afternoon, two in the morning, five in the morning are all the times when you can send and reply. In this way, both these times and life itself, have a new meaning. It is said in the movie that when you know that there is dust like you in the empty universe, then you will not be confused and lonely. Yes, your presence makes me feel that I am really not alone. If there is a limit for the sake of rigor, it is once.
Of course, just reminiscing can also make the present better. If it is added for the sake of rigor, it should be said: Memories can make the present better or worse.
I believe that Liu Cixin has done a bad job here - if the aliens who entrust the great curiosity of mankind and inspire the imagination and fantasy of countless people are evil, will it dampen our courage to explore the unknown? If asked, why do we have to explore the unknown? My answer is that we are tired of the sloppy and boring chicken soup in front of us, we need that leap. We need to imagine the possibilities that are not reached. Imagination or fantasy, give us the courage to leap forward.
Where this jump went, I don't know. Not here anyway. This is enough. Although I would love to use my argument about human nature to deepen the persuasiveness here. But in order to avoid this film review with too many elements to stray, I restrained the rigor it should be here.
In fact, this long text only has these simple words: I miss you.
