Film evaluation
When films are quoted about literary novels, we always fall into the dilemma. Will this work be as good as the novel, or will it have a peer? Throughout the history of the film industry, this percentage has varied in favor of novels at times, and in favor of films at times, and today we have a strange situation, the film and the novel both this time equally creative and brilliant, the film today is «Contact», which is based on the novel astronomer and physics Carl Sajan, of the same name. What was that story and how did it become a flag of contemporary science fiction? That's what we're going to talk about today.
The story

The story tells of the girl «Ellie Arroway» who lost her mother during childbirth, and lost her father at the age of nine, but that did not prevent her from pursuing her dream in astronomy and mathematics, to become a famous scientist in this area and responsible for the dazzling dishes that monitor the pulses that come from far away , Trying to grab any picture of smart life abroad.

What will that ambitious young girl do against all these obstacles? This is what Carl Sagan reveals to us through events!
Impression of the story
Judy Foster Film Contact
It always attracts my attention to the plots dealing with science fiction, and how science is to be in control and control in a way that represses those with arbitrary views, which have no basis but merely personal whims. What is more remarkable about this plot is that it is not entirely about science. Science is the mainstay of events, but not the only aspect of it. The writer has combined the scientific, dramatic, and philosophical aspect in many ways. The combination of this novel and that film created the masterpieces of literature and cinema that deserve to be seen every now and then.
Characters
Judy Foster
The characters from my point of view are really distinctive. The heroine, Ballmer's boyfriend character. Two characters we can say are that they are the exact opposite, someone who believes in God so strongly, and someone who totally denies his existence. This created minor disputes over the course of events, solidifying the dramatic escalation well. Besides, Eli's own past is brilliantly woven, and the motives inherent in him were sober enough to make them what they are now during the events of the film, and what they will be after they are over. The other characters were woven to serve the plot and the heroine.
The acting
Acting Movie Contact
At this point I will marginalize all but two characters, Eli, and Haden. Jodie Foster, the heroine who has been able to embody dozens of different psychiatric states with precision, makes it almost impossible to assert that this is not a representation, especially the scene of her presence inside the spacecraft and looking at the vast universe outside.
Personal opinion
A great movie by all standards and watched more than once opens in your mind new horizons of knowledge and passion that does not fade towards them. What are you waiting for?
