I was shocked to see such a huge object

Our spaceship flew above the mighty for so long, and the scene in front of us opened up layer by layer, but we still couldn't see the whole picture of the other party. I began to think: Whoever built such a huge spaceship, its owner must be huge, and the people on their planet are probably giants. Looking at the back, I knew that the spacecraft itself was a huge life, and I felt that the concept in my brain had been subverted again. I remembered when I picked up a hamster from the pet market and looked at it, the hamster didn't know I was a living being, it couldn't look at me, its eyes could only look at my hand. When I saw a few crew members that I released to the powerful man and wanted to communicate with him, I only understood the feeling of the hamster in my hand. Such a huge machine, where are its eyes, ears, nose and mouth? In what direction are we humans speaking to it so that it can hear?
Another small point~ Ilya said that she had sworn abstinence as soon as she appeared. From the point of view of the movie, she will definitely break the ring in the end. As a result, she finally fit in with Dick, but in a way I didn't expect.
I prefer the early years to the current sci-fi movies. The sense of mystery, the shaping of the characters' characters and images is very attentive, and the attention is so sharp that the director's neuroticism can be felt. Whether it's 2001: A Space Odyssey or this one, their slow-paced, slow-moving camera movements have struck me far more than modern movies with dazzling graphics and sound.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture quotes

  • [in Vulcan]

    Vulcan master: Our ancestors cast out their animal passions here on these sands, saving our race through the attainment of Kolinahr.

    Vulcan master: Kolinahr - through which all emotion is renounced and shed.

    Vulcan master: You have labored long, Spock, and proved yourself worthy to receive from us this symbol of total logic.

    [Spock rejects the Kolinahr pendant]

    Vulcan master: Your thoughts... give them to me.

    [she mind-melds with Spock]

    Vulcan master: I sense this consciousness calling to you from space... your human blood is touched by it.

    [pulls away]

    Vulcan master: You have not yet achieved Kolinahr. He must search elsewhere for his answer. He will not find it with us. Live long and prosper, Spock.

  • Lt. Ilia: [Ilia the probe] You are the Kirk Unit. You will assist me. I've been programmed by V'Ger to observe and record normal functions of the carbon-based units infesting USS Enterprise.
