@lebbii87 Well, in the book, witch is much different, the first area they stop at, like in the movie, is supposed to be Vega. In the book there is a big sphere with radio telescopes on it orbiting the star. This looks much different, though. But basicly it could be the beacon that sent the message.
How am i goin to consider the yells of my boss for bein 10min late tomorrow after i watched this movie???we r tiny so our problems r...faith isnt believing in god, but finding who we really r out there and what we can give out to other to make them feel as great as our will pushes us to contribute to the community.
omg omg omg...harry potter fans!!! -_- i don't get this movie at all...what's so beautiful about a big sphere of fire/gas/carbon/etc...no I'm not a scientist, no I'm not super religious...I just don't get what the big deal is with aliens 'n all... ._.
@bentotheclarke Have watched this one many times ... its a keeper! Many cool parts and issues raised; (God vs science, the struggle of women of science , SETI, the politics of funding research ); in many ways Jodi's portrayal reveals her acting talents like no other movie she's done. The child-like wonderment she expresses upon viewing the center of our galaxy in this clip is one of those precious movie moments that can move one to tears.
Finally, an alien movie when the aliens aren't the bad guys, THANK YOU ROBERT ZEMECUS! I really hope that the real first contact happens like this, with a kind loving race.
Really I think we are so young in the universe, all the other species (or at lest the majority) have probably agreed on peace, and the likely hood of running into a peaceful race is our greatest chance. I just hope it doesnt happen soon, we are too violent, we need to make peace with our own world, before we meet others.
Outstanding movie, a favorite. Notable that the conflicts of science/religion/politics/government have increased in volatility along these same lines since 1997. Perhaps our knowledge of both God and science is so rudimentary that it keeps us from seeing that they are one and the same.

We need to understand the wiseness of this fantastic and pioneer movie!The physical world and spiritual world is connecting each other.People, who have experiences in the state of clinical death give us similar stories:the lights,the tunnel,meet with relatives.This act is everything,what we learn in the HolyBooks!Amazing!
i think you are forgetting the point. it has nothing to do with spirituality. this has everything to do with consciousness and faith. what is consciousness? and what is real? aliens can be far more superior then us in this aspect but we as humans have no idea what could be real or what cant be real our minds are so fragile that even if we use our brains a percentage more then that 10 percent we will go absolutely insane. watch the part after this! she tries to convince the world she saw an alien
@alienc wow i thought the same thing, when i saw the Hubble deep field picture i went outside and stared at the stars, and did just what Jodi Foster did, i cried and kept saying it was so beautiful and no joke i said "i had no idea" for about an hour... it was amazing, and sense then i do it almost everyday.
awesome. I suspect that this sense of an epiphany, connection, underlying love(i.e. connection in human terms), is historically referred to as Nirvana or Kingdom of Heaven. No one can be shown it, we find it (one way or another). Congratulations. Welcome to the world! :) Keep it. And take it easy.
No words to describe it.........They should have sent a poet........sooo beautiful.....I had no Idea............In all our searching the only thing we found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.....Do we get to come back.....This is just the first step.......Small moves.
@herndonboy13 I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure, but I think it was the aliens transmitting images into her pod, like how she initially sees out of the pod, but all around. If that made any sense. It's them showing off fancy advanced alien technology.
@thevampirefrog06 Remember the picture she made as a child of Pensacola , Florida early in the movie with the palm trees leaning over the beach? Thats what they downloaded from her mind in order for her to feel at Home..at least the best they could do.
@MarkFFHH No, I know it's the beach from Florida, and that they got it from her memories. I was just explaining why it looked like she was suddenly ON the beach from her memory instead of inside the ship, but thanks for the extra info.
@thevampirefrog06 In the Book they send a team of 5 international astronauts/scientist. I remeber them seeing a door on the beach. She does not go with the others...then while they are gone her father/alien comes.
out of all the beautiful scenes in movies and all the amazing images i've seen, this is by far the most incredible. if this was real, it would be the one place in the universe that i would happily die after witnessing. the sunny beach with the amazing night sky filled with nebulae and amazingly close and bright stars is one of dreams. this vid does not do justice at all for all the beauty in this scene, it must be watched from an hd tv to see just how magnificent it really is.
One of my very fav movies. First contact conversation with the alien was very disappointing however. In the theater I was like...what?!...that's it?! It was notably anti-climatic. Having said that it is still a stirring movie I watch everytime it's on the tv.
@Zee96969696 What else could u mean by such a stupid comment? Do you mean that you didn't see any aliens? I'll give you that, you don't see them in their true forms. But you get to know plenty of stuff about them when her "dad" talks to her so don't come whining that I did not understand what you meant. I did, your comment didn't make any sence at all "moron"
God's creations are beyond our imagination, our every single moment should be of THANKS to our almighty GOD. God bless our earth. Beautiful movie !!!!!!
The 'reality' being that some 88% of people on earth believe in a god with no real basis for this handed down belief system. LOL, aliens need to know the truth.. that humans have a need to go to heaven when they die. They need the bad guy to go to hell, they need a creator because the other answer is muddled and hard to sift through.. God is much easier.
The aliens need to know the truth, not the truth as a person that thinks Jesus is going to part the skies for the rapture thinks it is. IMO:-)
I highly doubt the idea of god taken literally will have anything to do with an event such as this. Man I sure hope not or all I can say is people are still as ignorant as they have always been.
BTW, that number of people in the world believing in god has shrunk quite considerably, better look again. You might also look at who believes demographically and who does not. Religion would only hinder and get in the way of an event such as this, aliens would most suredly not even get the concept.
@guitarplayer4real Furthermore, Many statements in the bible have been proven to be scientifically true bafflins scientist on how manking could have knowledge of things 5,000 years ago that have only recently come to the knowledge of science and that because of all our technological advance. While you correctly point out that the percentage of believers in a higer power has decreased in the past decade and a half you will also discover that the percentage of scientist .........
@Hobu123 yeah there are tons of examples, but if you feel like you need to take cheap shots then I am going to tell you to research it on the internet yourself. I'm sure even ancient people would have thought about using the internet to research my statements.
@Hobu123 yeah there are tons of examples, but if you feel like you need to take cheap shots then I am going to tell you to research it on the internet yourself. I'm sure even ancient people would have thought about using the internet to research my statements.
@guitarplayer4real who dismiss God as simply a myth has simply diminished, As a matter of fact, now days you will find that for every scientist that scoffs at the idea of a creater there is another who supports it. The fact that science has never been able to discredit ANY statement made in a book that is over 5,000 years old alone is a big testament to that fact. A prominent scientist whose name I do not remember once said that science and religion are driving towards an common conclusion......
@guitarplayer4real ...science just hasn't caught up. I am sure will will agree to disagree to no end here and I will not change your view nor you will change mine. That is not my intention. I simply, As a believer in God and his Son Jesus Christ, wanted to show you that we christians are not ignorant and iliterate and that we can also come up with compelling and articulate arguments to defend our beliefs. I pray that we will not remain at odds forever, yet I do not hold my breath.
@darkprince1751 You dont need to convince me of this my friend, I know you guys are smart. I have had religion in my life from the beginning, I just took a left turn at a point. My early childhood was spent at bible camp and sunday school.
When I say ignorant I dont really mean it like I guess it sounded:-0 I can be harsh but I have respect. My mom believes as you do if that helps you understand. I do feel that religion has not been good to science and discovery though, thats the ignorant part.
The part where the priest asks if she 'believes in god' only served to piss me off... That garbage should not enter the subject if this were ever to happen.
Her answer to that priest was right on the money for thinking people. Once again the idea of a man made God ends up thwarting serious science, keeping with a long history of such treatment of discovery by the church and its ignorant 'believers' in the fantastic.
@guitarplayer4real what was also on the money was the answer that 95% of the world population believes in some form of higher power and if we are going to pick an ambassador to represent our planet we would want for him or her to be a person who accurately represents ALL of our most cherished beliefs. Scientific and spiritual.
@darkprince1751 Its pure ignorance and uniquely human as far as we know. Organized religion has been killing science and those who seek to discover it since the beginning. I guess it doesnt surprpise me that this mentality still exists. But put into context, many of the people in the world also still believe in hobgoblins and witches. Its a lot of nonsense and will eventually be stricken from the human record as it should have been long ago. One can be spiritual without being delusional
@guitarplayer4real I am sure that there are a great deal of people who believe that that your way of thinking is also ignorant and arrogant. While it is true that the existence of God has never been scientifically proven to be a fact according to science's standards, it is also true that science has never been able to disprove the existence of God or a higher being whichever you prefer. As a matter of fact science actually points more to intelligent design than away from it.
@darkprince1751 I think you miss the point of what I'm saying. I'm well past the ignorance stage @ almost 50 and grown kids out the door.
My point is that religion has a proven history of squashing real discovery. Ptolemay was imprisoned for suggesting that "god" was not in daily control of the solar system. Its the same today, and while you suggest that mine is a stand of ignorance, I would only want the most level headed clear thinker with no imaginary beings @ a major part of their demeanor.
@guitarplayer4real cont.. To be the one chosen to go. One can easily convey the concept of religion and god on earth without being religious and adopting gods just because some suggested estimated number of the world believes. Picking someone for a scientific endeavour such as this would be and basing it on anything but critical thinking and an ability to communicate and to handle such a mission would be absurd IMO. Might be smart to send a non believer so the reality here could be told. Hmmm
@guitarplayer4real It is true that in the past religion has unfortunately hindered scientific progress, but you will find that in the past 25 years religion has embraced science a lot more than it has in the past 2.000 years. As a matte of fact, You will find that believers today fully embrace technological advance and while this discussion is very stimulating to say the least I have to go because Dexter is about to start. lol. Have a good night.
@guitarplayer4real I agree with Guitar....Most of the things you talk about are ancient history. The Vatican today has its own Science and research dept/school. Its not the way you think it is. Its mostly Atheist propaganda. one can believe in God/Afterlife/Higher Consciousness and still believe and work in science. I work in R & D and believe in God. All science is to me is trying to figure out puzzles, answer the mysteries of the universe and create solutions for the worlds problems.
Carl Sagan is brilliant. He wasn't a theist in any sense, since he did not believe there was a god, though he knew he could not be sure. He was open to the possibility, that is why he called himself agnostic. By today's definition, an atheist is someone who does not believe in a god, not someone who knows there isn't a god. That is a common misconception. Theism is what you believe, gnosticism is what you know. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist.
@trekgeek1 I am sorry, but what you just wrote doesn't make any sense. Atheists are those who do not believe in God and God's existence (dissociating these two would not make sense). Please look up the etymology of the word before posting.
Also, Agnostics are those who believe that God's existence or non existence is unknowable. Therefore there is no such thing as a theist agnostic or an atheist agnostic. I myself am a deist.
There is a difference between what you know and what you believe. An atheist believes there is no god. A theist believes there is a god. An agnostic atheist believes there is a god but does not believe they can prove it. I agree, agnostic relates to what can be known, that is why I have made this statement. Because you don't think you can KNOW this for sure. I assure you, I have researched the term. I will say, the definition depends on what site you read and they lack consistency.
All these labels are missing the point. They create boxes. And they don't defy our perceptions, what we care about, what we are like. They just create stereotypes.
Atheism and Theism are two sides of the same coin. The rim, is far more interesting and boundless.
In the movie, Ellie was a bit of a fundie in the beginning, and she became more tolerant as a result of her experience.
@vdizhoor Curiously, a coin cannot stably remain on it's edge and will inevitably fall onto one side or another. A coin will never have both sides facing up either, and I intend to ensure that my side is always facing up. Labels can place us into boxes, but we are all labeled and and need to be. Labels identify personality and a person devoid of labels has sacrificed far too much in the name of appeasement as they've lost individuality. Labels aren't bad, judging people by them is the problem
not appeasement - balance. What is "your side"? At some point in life, one realizes why certain fictional stories are written, why they are inspired. Those who take them literally, and either believe them or dismiss them on the grounds of not being factual are sadly missing the point. They are allegories, expressions of notions that are too abstract to define rationally. Logic, sometimes includes the notion that none of us can grasp the universe logically. Be honest with yourself.
@killsourenemy If you've read Sagan's book, you would find it wasn't atheistic. It was more agnostic theistic. An interesting portion of the book is when Dr. Arroway asks the ET if they believe in the 'luminous'. The response was more, 'we don't really know, but there must be something out there...'. The end of the book shows that Pi was the creator's signature (fictional of course).
The thing that we have to remind ourselves is that science and math has only existed for a couple hundred years, a fraction of the time that humans have existed on this Earth. The aliens portrayed in this movie are highly, highly advanced and were in existence for a far longer time than humans have. Who knows what is possible in the next century for humankind. Carl Sagan's thoughts and perspectives were certainly not constrained by any notion of what is impossible.
i love this film (especially this scene) because it gives good arguments on the religious point of view as well as the scientific. personally i cant stand religion i think its a pile of lies, full of back stabbers, death and murder. and to those people who keep going on about "hints", the bible is full of freakin' hints. i bet jesus hinted at godzilla. what? godzilla's real.
in the bible it does hint that there is other life out there, but they are without sin. we dont have the capabilities to reach out. maybe someday we will have the technology to take this small step, then again maybe not. i would myself love to meet other life out there, but the way our world is going i dont blame them for not contacting us. i would not want to be part of a power, money hungry world full of hate and sin. we all need to forgive and forget and come together. but thats a large step.
her father who was departed from our world, was now on another planet (world) that is, once we "die" we go to other worlds(planets) but very far away, in another dimension, and no conventional means could ever take us there. That is the explanation of what happened.
I think the reason the alien deflected her questions is because the aliens don't actually want to get any closer to us (earth people) as we are either too hostile, not advanced enough to cope with what they would show us or simply not ready to cope with what they would show us. Which is why they say ' in time you will learn the next step' or something.
am I the only one who cannot watch this scene without getting electricity all over my body and tearing up uncontrollably? When her face is being pulled off into the future, that gets it started. Then when she sees the city and says "They're alive". I can't even think about it without my hair standing on end. Then the chair just snaps off and everything goes quiet. I love this movie and this scene is just irresistible!
I watch this movie at least 3 times a year every since it came out! there's something sexy about Jodie panting and breathing heavy.....lol...good thing she got out of the chair huh? that was funny!
Actually, the fun part is that is a Spiritual Experience. Either God talking to her in paradise or an Alien talking to her through her dreams. And you know - it doesn't matter which one is true, because its EFFECTIVELY the same thing: a personal salvation from inner loneliness.
Contact Movie (1997) release directed by Robert Zemeckis adopted from Carl Seagan Novel "Contact" explores the possibility to search for the truth of universe and the greatest unsolved mystery-Who are we? Our Purpose of life? Are We alone? Is there a perfect brain beyond the creation of universe? Seeking answers to these fundamental question that is beyond the comprehension of human brain...where logic is defied and faith is the main drive to seek reason -the question of faith and rationality

Sagan might not have really believed in God, but I think that he wanted to believe in something. If you believe in the love that all beings can share... well, I think that's the most pure expression of God. People seem to think that God is unknowable, like in the beginning of the movie. But he's not. Spiritual logic, which might seem like an oxymoron, is understandable. When that is understood, it's the most beautiful feeling in the world. This movie reminds me to express Love. To express God.
I did not get this part of the movie at all...what is the point of ET taking small gradual steps to interacting with humans?we would probably be extinct by the time they do reveal themselves to us according to this movie.
@mikemej613 There's a lot more in the book. The aliens are, at the same time, both sympathetic and wary. They see potential in our species and hope we make it, but also danger signs that we're self-destructive. Their job at this stage of our development is to stand back and see if we can look beyond our short-term perspective.
It turns out the point of the Machine was to give them information about us, not vice-versa. The alien says to think of him as working for the galactic census bureau.
The little compass that is given to her by mcconaughey saves her life. The blueprints for the pod did not call for a chair. When she arrives at her destination the chair responds to the magnetic field of the planet and you see the chair crash into the ceiling, which would have killed Jodie if she were still in it. The fact that she got out of the chair to pursue the compass saved her life. I didnt notice this until watching the movie 4 or 5 times.
@lilbromarky1 its nothing to do with a magnetic field. a hole tears open in the ceiling while she is in space, which causes a loss in pressure, this is what causes the chair to slam into the ceiling covering the hole.
why didnt they just try the machine again ?? just to see if she really went or not, that would have been the most logical thing to do ... and she should have asked for some locations of other civilizations or something useful
Great. Awesome sequence when Ellie travels through the worm holes. Fantastic special effects. The Matrix owes props to this film for that. This movie stands up to the test of time.
I love this movie, the tables got flipped on her since now she has to convince the panel of people she was somewhere else in the cosmos...but she had no empirical proof of it.. since she was gone for such a short time...but she was there and to the idiots in the movie theater..The alien was not her father! LOL
This is my 2nd fave film of all time. But frankly i don't believe in aliens or ufo's. I think there may be primitive life out there but as for intelligant life i believe we are unique, a fantastic fluke that will never happen again , and all these crackpots that say they have seen ufo's or been abducted i say grow up.
very thought provoking but of course its just science fiction and will never become reality, the stars are just too far away, seti is a waste of time and the money would be better spent on hospitals and education

herndonboy13 1 year ago
@herndonboy13 I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure, but I think it was the aliens transmitting images into her pod, like how she initially sees out of the pod, but all around. If that made any sense. It's them showing off fancy advanced alien technology.

The 'reality' being that some 88% of people on earth believe in a god with no real basis for this handed down belief system. LOL, aliens need to know the truth.. that humans have a need to go to heaven when they die. They need the bad guy to go to hell, they need a creator because the other answer is muddled and hard to sift through.. God is much easier.
The aliens need to know the truth, not the truth as a person that thinks Jesus is going to part the skies for the rapture thinks it is. IMO:-)

I highly doubt the idea of god taken literally will have anything to do with an event such as this. Man I sure hope not or all I can say is people are still as ignorant as they have always been.
BTW, that number of people in the world believing in god has shrunk quite considerably, better look again. You might also look at who believes demographically and who does not. Religion would only hinder and get in the way of an event such as this, aliens would most suredly not even get the concept.

@guitarplayer4real who dismiss God as simply a myth has simply diminished, As a matter of fact, now days you will find that for every scientist that scoffs at the idea of a creater there is another who supports it.

@darkprince1751 Its pure ignorance and uniquely human as far as we know. Organized religion has been killing science and those who seek to discover it since the beginning.

@guitarplayer4real I am sure that there are a great deal of people who believe that that your way of thinking is also ignorant and arrogant. While it is true that the existence of God has never been scientifically proven to be a fact according to science's standards, it is also true that science has never been able to disprove the existence of God or a higher being whichever you prefer. As a matter of fact science actually points more to intelligent design than away from it.

@darkprince1751 I think you miss the point of what I'm saying. I'm well past the ignorance stage @ almost 50 and grown kids out the door.
My point is that religion has a proven history of squashing real discovery. Ptolemay was imprisoned for suggesting that "god" was not in daily control of the solar system. Its the same today, and while you suggest that mine is a stand of ignorance, I would only want the most level headed clear thinker with no imaginary beings @ a major part of their demeanor.

@guitarplayer4real cont.. To be the one chosen to go. One can easily convey the concept of religion and god on earth without being religious and adopting gods just because some suggested estimated number of the world believes. Picking someone for a scientific endeavour such as this would be and basing it on anything but critical thinking and an ability to communicate and to handle such a mission would be absurd IMO. Might be smart to send a non believer so the reality here could be told. Hmmm

@guitarplayer4real I agree with Guitar....Most of the things you talk about are ancient history. The Vatican today has its own Science and research dept/school. Its not the way you think it is. Its mostly Atheist propaganda. one can believe in God/Afterlife/Higher Consciousness and still believe and work in science. I work in R & D and believe in God. All science is to me is trying to figure out puzzles, answer the mysteries of the universe and create solutions for the worlds problems.

Carl Sagan is brilliant. He wasn't a theist in any sense, since he did not believe there was a god, though he knew he could not be sure. He was open to the possibility, that is why he called himself agnostic. By today's definition, an atheist is someone who does not believe in a god, not someone who knows there isn't a god. That is a common misconception. Theism is what you believe, gnosticism is what you know. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist.
trekgeek1 1 year ago 10
@trekgeek1 I am sorry, but what you just wrote doesn't make any sense. Atheists are those who do not believe in God and God's existence (dissociating these two would not make sense). Please look up the etymology of the word before posting.
Also, Agnostics are those who believe that God's existence or non existence is unknowable. Therefore there is no such thing as a theist agnostic or an atheist agnostic. I myself am a deist.
But you are right, Carl Sagan was brilliant.

There is a difference between what you know and what you believe. An atheist believes there is no god. A theist believes there is a god. An agnostic atheist believes there is a god but does not believe they can prove it. I agree, agnostic relates to what can be known, that is why I have made this statement. Because you don't think you can KNOW this for sure. I assure you, I have researched the term. I will say, the definition depends on what site you read and they lack consistency.

All these labels are missing the point. They create boxes. And they don't defy our perceptions, what we care about, what we are like. They just create stereotypes.
Atheism and Theism are two sides of the same coin. The rim, is far more interesting and boundless.
In the movie, Ellie was a bit of a fundie in the beginning, and she became more tolerant as a result of her experience.

@vdizhoor Curiously, a coin cannot stably remain on it's edge and will inevitably fall onto one side or another. A coin will never have both sides facing up either, and I intend to ensure that my side is always facing up. Labels can place us into boxes, but we are all labeled and and need to be. Labels identify personality and a person devoid of labels has sacrificed far too much in the name of appeasement as they've lost individuality. Labels aren't bad, judging people by them is the problem
trekgeek1 1 year ago
@trekgeek1
not appeasement - balance. What is "your side"? At some point in life, one realizes why certain fictional stories are written, why they are inspired. Those who take them literally, and either believe them or dismiss them on the grounds of not being factual are sadly missing the point. They are allegories, expressions of notions that are too abstract to define rationally. Logic, sometimes includes the notion that none of us can grasp the universe logically. Be honest with yourself.

@killsourenemy If you've read Sagan's book, you would find it wasn't atheistic. It was more agnostic theistic. An interesting portion of the book is when Dr. Arroway asks the ET if they believe in the 'luminous'. The response was more, 'we don't really know, but there must be something out there...'. The end of the book shows that Pi was the creator's signature (fictional of course).

The thing that we have to remind ourselves is that science and math has only existed for a couple hundred years, a fraction of the time that humans have existed on this Earth. The aliens portrayed in this movie are highly, highly advanced and were in existence for a far longer time than humans have. Who knows what is possible in the next century for humankind. Carl Sagan's thoughts and perspectives were certainly not constrained by any notion of what is impossible.

I think the reason the alien deflected her questions is because the aliens don't actually want to get any closer to us (earth people) as we are either too hostile, not advanced enough to cope with what they would show us or simply not ready to cope with what they would show us. Which is why they say ' in time you will learn the next step' or something.

Sagan might not have really believed in God, but I think that he wanted to believe in something. If you believe in the love that all beings can share... well, I think that's the most pure expression of God. People seem to think that God is unknowable, like in the beginning of the movie. But he's not. Spiritual logic, which might seem like an oxymoron, is understandable. When that is understood, it's the most beautiful feeling in the world. This movie reminds me to express Love. To express God.

@mikemej613 There's a lot more in the book. The aliens are, at the same time, both sympathetic and wary.

Their job at this stage of our development is to stand back and see if we can look beyond our short-term perspective.
It turns out the point of the Machine was to give them information about us, not vice-versa. The alien says to think of him as working for the galactic census bureau.

The little compass that is given to her by mcconaughey saves her life. The blueprints for the pod did not call for a chair. When she arrives at her destination the chair responds to the magnetic field of the planet and you see the chair crash into the ceiling, which would have killed Jodie if she were still in it. The fact that she got out of the chair to pursue the compass saved her life. I didnt notice this until watching the movie 4 or 5 times.

@lilbromarky1 its nothing to do with a magnetic field. a hole tears open in the ceiling while she is in space, which causes a loss in pressure, this is what causes the chair to slam into the ceiling covering the hole.
