The first 3 minutes, leaving the door ajar, boy meeting dead loved one.
A lot of movies today are mixing tropes like mad in order to tell a story in a NEW way, not dissolving or challenging tropes, but increasingly dissolving genres.
I never did like genres anyway, even if "science fiction" as a genre has been my guiding star towards a good many movies that had nothing to do with science and much much more with making the future a SPACE, where some desired things would become possible, other things freekin obvious, and all the rest just inevitable (says fears and projection). The future is a great place to be. And an even better transit station for even better things to come. Or worse, if you are into that. I am not.
I like a good yarn. And this is a good yarn:
"I can promise you there is something after dying, come see for yourself, we are all about science". And so people do, the leads do, and as we know: Forced travel brings people together, who would never have given each other the time of day.
There is so much grief in the world presently. Things we though over are not over, things we hoped to stop seem unstoppable, we are not sacred as a species, nor holy or evil, or even thoughtless - the universe, or simply life and climactic functions on earth, only has one way of expressing reaction to our disruption of evolutionary rules and that is reacting to disruption like a child rather than intention or logic reacts to intention with great precision, if permitted...
It is a painful movie for me. They are both beautiful, and become even more so, through their acts of love and courage, and when forgiven, we are right there forgiving them too-
THIS is what we want: Loving and being forgiven and forgive and love, to not give up..
