Throughout the whole film, it seems that there is no sci-fi narrative and description. Even the alien planet after passing through the wormhole, some are just a few words left by advanced wisdom, and there is no accurate guidance or meaning, which makes me feel the film. The depiction of human nature makes it even more difficult for the audience to extricate themselves. In particular, the film brings up an interesting point: what if all this is fake? As if things were getting interesting.
The role of SRHadden runs through the whole film, but the background and story of this person are never introduced. What is there is that he solves the problems encountered in advancing to the alien civilization time and time again. If it is an NPC deliberately set by the plot, then all of this seems too reluctant, as if he is waiting for the problem to appear and solve it. If this series of events is really a hoax concocted by Hadden, as Mr.KITZ guessed, then we seem to be able to understand the film from another perspective.
First of all, the heroine admitted at the hearing that there is a possibility of forging Vega's signals, and Hadden also has this ability. Well, since investing in Ellie's project many years ago, this game of chess has been prepared. Just when the government was about to take back the right to use it, Ellie received a radio signal from Vega, making the whole incident public. The subsequent decryption and construction can also be considered as part of Hadden's plan. We can also understand that the reason why Hadden lives in the air is to prevent his plan from being leaked in advance. A small reward for the people he oppressed" I temporarily understand it as a new belief (after all, the distance of 26 light-years is not a distance that simple scientific progress can cross). For Ellie's experience of traveling through wormholes and time and space, we can guess that it is a memory implant after hypnosis (after all, a person who can live in space, I don't think this kind of thing is difficult, and it's just guessing the plot of the movie) , the memory triggers during a rapid fall in the sphere, and the reported 18 hours of unsignaled video is a lot easier than letting a man with bombs strapped into the experimental base.
So far, I seem to have convinced myself that there is at least such a possibility for the ending of the film. Hadden's great gift to mankind at the turn of the millennium is the infinite reverie of outer space civilization. It seems to be the same for our real life. Human beings are endlessly pleasing themselves, immersed in consumerism, rationalism, religion, society and other stories created by human beings. It is difficult for anyone to have such a The ability to tell a story out of thin air to make people believe that there is an older, higher-level intelligence 26 light-years away from them, and we are just a grain of sand in this endless galaxy.
