家园 严重underrate的片子

IMDB上只有7.3评分,烂番茄上更差,只有66%。

但我却认为就思考深度,内容的丰富而言,此片在ET之上。

Judy的演绎看上去也非常顺眼。

让我最震撼的一幕是Judy在圆球内,因为强大的电磁场导致球壁透明,看见外面无垠宇宙当中一片璀璨的星河,无数恒星散发着珍珠的光芒,在十万光年的圆盘上缓慢转动。It's so beautiful, Judy如是说。

Carl Sagon是除Isaac Asimov外我最喜欢的科幻小说家, 虽然这并不是他的本行。

当Voyager 1 飞行器在1990年航行到太阳系的尽头时,Carl Sagon提议让它最后回头望一眼,从60亿公里外拍摄地球的照片。

在无边的漆黑中,地球是苍蓝的细如尘埃的一点,这个景象让人心灵悸动。照片很有名,叫Pale Blue Dot。

Carl Sagon为此留下了非常有意思的一段话,英语原文如下:

Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
