I laughed when I saw this, it always happens when Americans' curiosity turns to aliens.
Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" illustrates a universal law - the dark forest. It means that the universe is a huge dark forest, and the civilization in it is a hunter with a gun in the forest. The characteristics of the dark forest are that they cannot communicate with each other, and both sides hold weapons that can destroy each other. Therefore, as long as any hunter is found, in order to protect himself, the only rational response is to shoot the other party immediately.
According to Da Liu's logic, it is unsafe to send signals to outer space. If they are accepted by other civilizations, they can lock the coordinates and destroy them immediately.
After reading the "Three-Body Problems", my heart was half-shattered. Although the earth was not destroyed by the Three-Body Problem in the end, the laws of the dark forest still made people feel chills on their necks.
So back to this movie (CARL's novel has not been read, so I can only talk about the plot of the movie), alien civilizations are completely well-intentioned characters here, and it was our curiosity that discovered them, and they stood at a more The light of truth that guides us on a higher plane.
In the film, science and religion from the initial confrontation to the later reconciliation can be said to be the destination of Western science or philosophy history.
Newton said earlier that we are only children playing by the sands of the ocean of truth.
The great Assac Newton finally threw himself into the arms of religion. The relationship between science and religion cannot be explained in a few words. From the origin of science alone, the rise of the scientific and technological revolution in England in the seventeenth century had to be thankful for the role of religion in it. (See "Science and Technology in Seventeenth-Century England") Therefore, science and religion, this endless topic, also frequently appears in science fiction.
There are soft and hard sci-fi. Some good hard sci-fi looks quite enjoyable, but sometimes soft sci-fi has a different flavor, and even sometimes, I prefer soft sci-fi. (Of course, it's natural to combine the two perfectly like Arthur Clarke)
Science fiction, or any fantasy, isn't just for us to see what the future looks like, it's of no use to us right now. It's all about living in the present moment, that is, here and now.
So I understood what the film was trying to convey, although Judy didn't bring back any practical things (such as technology, knowledge, information about alien civilizations...), but she was like a saint, she took her from "God" The truths seen there spread. Everything she saw changed her, and it was just seeing. Often, the so-called philosophical religion or everything related to the soul does not need complicated explanations. All questions, disputes and confusions are in the dark sand in Judy's hands at the end of the film.
"How small and insignificant we are in the universe, yet how rare and precious we are... A vision, we see these, greater than ourselves, it will no longer make people feel lonely... I hope that every Individuals, even for a short time...just a moment, can feel the fear, the humility, and the hope."
How well said, fear, humility, and hope.
