The universe is vast, and as one of the races, human beings have developed to a certain level of civilization, or a bottleneck of civilization, put aside race and religion, and think at the level of the human race. In the distant outer space, whether there is a civilization like ours, I believe that everyone who looks up at the stars has such an illusion. If one day, a visitor from afar brings information, are we ready, and how should we face it?
Lonely, humble, hopeful.
This is the answer given by the movie. The focus of this sci-fi film is also here. The existence of living organisms, human doubts, fears, affirmations, final exploration, and adventurous spirit have always been the keys to human civilization and development.
Looking at the whole film, it is actually a not very exciting story, and even the plot seems a little procrastinated. But the director or the original author used this kind of detailed narrative and repeated mention of details to create a real atmosphere, and at the same time, it well expressed human's feelings for contact with time and space. Brilliant imagination and pragmatic attitude are the keys to the success of sci-fi films. The shocking scene at the beginning of the story, the joy of finding the signal, the nervousness during the launch, and of course the cross-examination in the courtroom, are all in place.
And it is also very suitable for casting. Jodie Foster, since her debut, has shown a special temperament, with rigid strength in the weakness of women, making her one of the few female actors who can support In this film, as a scientist full of enthusiasm for contact with outer space, her performance is undoubtedly a classic among the classics. Especially the answer in the courtroom at the end, with tears in her eyes, grievance, helplessness, but firmness, it made the two men who played opposite her bleak.
