To tell the truth before watching it, I didn’t expect much. The film is from the last century, and the audience has not been very wide in the past 20 years. The first half hour of the two-and-a-half-hour film is really not good. I thought the film's vision was not enough. I just listened in the vast universe. There was no fierce conflict of alien invasion, and there was an old-fashioned feeling. It will be a bit backward, and the protagonist's appearance is not very attractive. But since the female doctor received the signal from Vega, the movie has become high-energy and thought-provoking. Even I found out, gosh, President Clinton is in the picture too? Later, I learned from the Internet that it was subtly edited from real news footage, and it was truly miraculous that President Clinton appeared more than once. The film layout is not small but surprisingly large, including communications, cryptography, wormholes, the relationship between truth and technology, religion and science discussions... and the picture is also surprisingly beautiful, the light waves when the cosmic shuttle starts , The indescribable wonder of Vega, the special effects of the last century can also be so good. And the more I look, the more I find that the facial features of the male and female protagonists are so delicate... It is indeed the work of the director who made "Forrest Gump". The discussion of religion and science in the movie is very exciting. The male protagonist believes in the existence of God based on his feelings, while the female protagonist can only rely on his feelings to believe that he has reached an alien. Religion and science seem to be completely opposite to each other, but there are many commonality. First of all, they can all aim for the pursuit of truth, but they are all so mysterious and difficult to fully understand, and the advanced form of science may also go beyond the scope of human cognition to the hazy feeling of religion. I think of the world dichotomy in Western culture that originated from Plato. Religion and science represent two different worlds. Philosophy is the bridge. With the progress of society and the development of civilization, science continues to expand to religion... Interesting, it is somewhat similar to Huang Mao in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", both are so sincere, straightforward and beautiful. The heroine has a romantic scientific spirit, and is full of energy to achieve her scientific goals. Although her hopes are slim and unpopular, she will not be duplicitous for certain interests, and will always express her true thoughts. In reality, such people are indeed very few. As the professor Drumlin said, I also hope that the world can be fair, so that your idealism will be supported rather than exploited. Unfortunately, we all live in reality. . The implication is that the real situation makes him hypocritical, and only in this way can he not be used by others. The heroine said, "It's interesting, I originally thought that reality was created by people. She was helpless to everyone succumbing to reality and betrayed herself, but she still insisted on her honesty without hesitation. This character is also reflected in the Q&A when people questioned whether she had ever been to Vega. It is obvious that she has no evidence but only feelings, and in this case, she also admits that it is a possibility of her fantasy. I think, why is the film set in this way, I also doubt whether the heroine has ever been to an alien, and she may be able to give an accurate answer instead of being so incomprehensible. But then I thought about it, since these can be changed at the will of the screenwriter, what is the point of being entangled in the results? The movie just provides a hypothesis, a possibility. The more open it is and the more blank it is, the more profound the meaning. There is at least one incentive to watch this movie called the pursuit of truth.
