Carrying the poetic philosophy of "Alien Arrival", it tells the love proposition of "Marriage Story"

If compared with other science fiction films of the same type, you may feel that "Alone in Space" is a bit bland and lacks the sense of vastness brought by the universe. However, watching "Alone in Space" is an alternative interstellar experience. The film revolves around familiar themes such as "loneliness", "love" and "forgiveness", but it is able to discover otherworldly poetic philosophy and the eternal law of love from the mysterious and allegorical dialogue and plot.

"Spaceman" is actually like reinterpreting the complex emotions described in "Marriage Story" in the poetic and literary way of " Alien ", whether it is the entanglement between love and non-love, Or the conflicting feelings of loneliness but longing for companionship, all can be seen clearly in the marriage of Yakub and Lenka that is on the verge of breaking up.

Although the distance between the two people is getting farther and farther due to the execution of space missions and the knots and trauma left by past conflicts, it can still be seen that it is the gravitational force that maintains each other that is holding on to the edge of the cliff.

Explore the mysteries and truth of the universe between illusion and reality.

"Everything is permanent, but nothing lasts forever. This is the truth of the universe."

In fact, when watching "Spaceman", I can't help but think of "Pulse of the Machine", an episode of Netflix's animated poetry anthology series "Love Robots", which also tells anecdotes about astronauts' encounters during missions, and is also the same They all use metaphors to explore the universe and re-understand the meaning of life.

However, "Alone in Space" not only tells the truth about life, but also makes people re-understand love, loneliness and the treasures that only humans have.

It seems like a plain text that lacks charm, but it relies on touching and romantic emotions.

"If I had known what I know now, I would never have left."

"Spaceman" may lack the entertainment effect and plot tension, and it is not the kind of science fiction film that meets the public's taste. However, with its sad and frustrated atmosphere and unique poetic confession, the film has become a classic. The gripping score by composer Max Richter of the track "On the Nature of Daylight", and the alternative presentation method similar to "If We Will Separate", create a realistic but touching and romantic love story, and if it is I was moved by several of the plots, and I can even feel the unforgettable aftertaste of the moral of the story
