This movie should be 2001: A Space Odyssey

Hehe, I don’t know if anyone thinks that the film’s construction is based on Arthur Clarke’s [2001 A Space Odyssey]. It feels to me like a story derived from the book, but it doesn’t affect it at all. The magnificence of the original book was instead visualized, even better than Clark's own sequel.
It's just a movie that I've watched over and over again, and it's also a movie that influenced my outlook on life to some extent. In my movie viewing experience, only [The Redemption of Xiao Shenke] can be mentioned alongside it.

    4.5/5 Based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name, it is an inspiring film about the exploration of the unknown, which is the eternal theme of the progress of humanity. Also inspired Nolan's Interstellar (2014). The determination of space exploration despite obstacles ahead is the same in these two films. In Interstellar, the drive is more understandable as the space voyage harbours hope for saving mankind. In Contact, the motivation is seeking answers to big questions and the scientific truth. Exceptionally played by Jodie Foster, the brilliant and strong-minded female protagonist is a firm-believer and pursuer of science.

    How did Goddess Judy blend Loli's demeanor and Yujie's temperament into one! What a nice view!

Contact quotes

  • Richard Rank: My coalition's phone lines have been flooded with calls from concerned families, wondering if this message signifies the end of the world or the advent of the rapture. We feel that U.S. policy in this matter wants to be extremely conservative - if there's any chance of danger or threat to our way of life perhaps the message and its contents should simply be disregarded.

  • News Reporters: Reverend Joss! Reverend Joss, what do you believe? What do you believe?

    Palmer Joss: [pause] As a person of faith I'm bound by a different covenant than Doctor Arroway. But our goal is one and the same: the pursuit of Truth. I for one believe her.
