What is helpless is that this is another time to watch a movie after "I'm Not King Mao".
As an alien science fiction film, there is no tight and bloody war scene in "Independence Day", nor is there a fierce conflict of positions similar to "The Ninth District". Some is just a macro exploration of language and civilization, and all the ups and downs are The handling is calm, depressed, and even slightly dull. It is this kind of atmosphere that makes this self-discussion, which is essentially a philosophy of human life, reveals a little unspeakable sadness. Taking off the sci-fi coat, the film itself performs the role of a placebo, using circular narratives and disrupting the timeline to "work hard" to tell you the beauty of life. This "work hard" seems even more sad.
The strange thing is that if someone cuts a wound on your arm, you may cry, but you won't feel sad. If someone quietly gives you a bottle of placebo, there will be some fluctuations in your heart. This fluctuation is that whenever you look up at the starry sky, you will ask yourself:
If the so-called ending is nothing but the sadness that I foresee, and the future is my knowing loss, will I move forward, and am I willing to have it?
