“Contact”

“Because I can’t… I... had an experience. I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am…tells me that it was real. I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever. A vision of the universe, that tells us undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how... rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves, that we are *not*, that none of us are alone. ...I wish I could share that....I wish...that everyone, if even for one...moment...could feel that awe and humility and hope...that...... That continues to be my wish.”--- Eleanor Arroway

Hello everyone, welcome to my fantastic Science-Fiction film. Above all, I have to give my movie thumb up twice in advance.

Scientist Arroway has been interested in outer space since she was a young girl by the great impression and courage from her father. Her dream is to have contact with aliens and make people assured that there are real lives in other planets. By the pursuit of her own desire and belief, also the support from the minority of people, Arroway gets her first regular signal from radio. She is so delighted to research the data she got and eventually she figures out the data is a clip of Hitler’s address many years ago presently resend by the alien on Vega. At that very point, the American officials interferes this event for the security of all human beings on the earth and decides to focus on it. After the first bomb of “Atom Time Machine”, Arroway gets the most honorable opportunity representing the mankind to land on Vega. Beyond our imagination, during the 18 hours of her exploration, Arroway meets her father and the most unforgettable coast of Pensacola. After she back the earth, she gets no evidence but only 18 hours electric waves. Nobody believes her except her lover Joss.

Arroway is performed by Jodie Foster, a fairly renowned actress who has won “The Academy of The Best Actress” in Oscar for twice. In the movie she falls in love with a theologian named Joss (played by Matthew McConaughey). See, when scientist encounter theologian, when science meet theology, when fact run into spirit. An extraordinary love story is going to display for us.
Believe it or not, I entirely believe all the experience of Arroway is real. Knowing Pensacola and father have special significance for the heroine, the aliens on Vega create this kind of virtual environment to express their kindness and friendship to new visitors. The reason why she only can get 18 hours of electrostatic interference is because the aliens have downloaded her memory and make her has illusion according to her childhood (Actually it does not exist, it is just a kind of illusion and an alien’s mean of communication).

Tiny world has great wisdom. This movie showed us how frail we human beings can be when living in the universe. Only when we cherish and respect to our lives will they watch over us in return.
