For me, I like the movie A LOT; maybe because I identify with the loner trying to make connections (but not getting the girl). And, there's more than a bit of Pavlovian process-of-association, in that it gives that loneliness a SOUNDTRACK.... When I recall that soundtrack, the sense of loneliness that I imagine he felt (often) washes over me. And, even tho I myself am a student of Naturalism, I CAN APPRECIATE in this story the one lasting friend he makes is God. For, who else rewarded him for his sacrifice to save the others by answering his scientific curiosity with another world where things work VERY differently? IMO, he knows he'll continue to remain alone, but that one watches...and, he gets a very real experience of the vast beauty of space. I just hope there's fish in that ocean, and wood to burn.
Where is everyone?!!!!
The Quiet UA-cam
