Wow, what a beautiful movie. It has strong themes that it isn't afraid to wear on its sleeves. I started crying when Ellie was traveling through space. "They should have sent a poet" just absolutely destroyed me.
I wish more people in STEM realized the importance of humanities. The way Carl Sagan clearly did. I'm not just saying that about this single line, but because the entire movie is wrapped up in this beautiful dance of scientific pursuit and the human experience.
Great movie, I highly recommend it. I know not everyone loves it, but I loved it.
Great flick.
It's funny, I feel as I get older I yearn for films and art in general that actually have definite opinions and points of view. Like it feels like the world is too serious and endangered for none of my art to take a strong stance on anything
I think this is kind of a stereotype, I don't know any STEM people who don't. Yeah those guys exist, but I'm not convinced they do in greater number than in other fields.
Sure, but I'm in STEM so I guess that's what I see. Lot of people who don't want to analyze or critique anything. And I guess that's a lot of people, but I felt that when I was in college there were very few chances to even be exposed to humanities courses.
