@theblazingraven ... we are apparently echoing each others lives. If you suffer any serious problems in the future, I would appreciate the 2 minutes heads-up.
Setting Sagan's beautiful talk to a bunch of movie clips doesn't exactly deliver the same impact or feeling as the original imagery of just the pale blue dot. Movie clips?? Was that Braveheart I saw in there, and Reservoir Dogs?
Seriously....cry for this video?? It's a bunch of movie clips. Using real life photos or clips would have at least been something.
According to the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" Xenu who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. He used the IRS to gather the people. That religion seeks to preserve us from nuclear destruction. Source Wikipedia And everyone calls them wacky. How is Carl Sagan any different?
@timetomakeauturn Sagan is only speaking about what has he observed and we can observe and UNDERSTAND, and make SENSE of what he's said. The lips that the words have come from are completely irrelevant. He is but a teacher of facts, and were it from a 7 year old boy from a long lost island it would remain the same. We can decide for ourselves, THINK for ourselves. Sagan provides guidance in this. How dare you compare him to L Ron Hubbard!
What biology does to make us fantastic, astronomy does to make us minute. Context from the microscope and context from the telescope, we stand in the middle, surrounded by the truth of both worlds that we make up and that we are made from. I feel conflicted, significant yet humble.
@marmoh123 Some people cry because a celebrity dies, some cry because they lose something precious to them, some cry because they win something amazing that will change their life, others cry because they are amazed by life and the universe.
does any one ever wonder if the whole universe and out side of that and so on is just sitting on a tiny peace of dust? or what if im/we just dreaming about this. i mean time goes ridiculously fast when we dont pay attention to it.
I can never understand why people are so cruel, Sagan points out with such elequence that I can only hope to achieve, That we are small, eventually we will be forgotten and we are only here once. For the breif moment we are alive on this earth why should we waste it on being cruel, bitter and greedy. For money? power? I'm only young, but I hope I don't waste my life worrying about what I have, but to be more like Sagan and make the world, even for a moment, a better place to live for all.
This is one of the best renditions of the "Pale Blue Dot". Very nicely edited and put together. I also love the short clips of various movie scenes - brings back good nostalgic memories.

@haywardmj "its above me"? i don't understand what you mean.

I'm a 17 year old male believer, and when I see this video I believe in God more than ever. We're so incredibly small in this universe. Greatness, can be achieved by all walks of life, both believers and non believers alike.
vary well don I personally thought that the music volume was perfect and the build up was perfectly executed. The idea of using movie clips was also vary original and sets this vide apart from all the other Carl Sagan tributes. favorited and shared. Can I ask where you found the audio of sagan reading this. Im thinking of creating a tribute of my own just for fun.
"Our responsibility to preserve and cherish" the insignificant pale blue dot? The speck that has no significance? We're to whistle in the graveyard and believe that we matter, even when we know we do not Carl? What hypocrisy! Our destiny is that of the dinosaur Carl, so get over yourself! Oh yeah...that's right...you're dead! So much for destiny!
@WSGAC You're missing the point. How wonderful is it that we're here, alive in this time when the universe is opening up to us, and we're just beginning to understand it! Our fate may yet be that of the dinosaurs but for right now, this small, insignificant moment in eternity, we're here, and we know we are. And that's just beautiful.
I'm a 17 year old male atheist, and when I see this video and think about how small we are in this amazing universe, I literally almost start to cry. I love my pale blue dot, and I wouldn't trade it for any other dot in the universe...
@D0CT0RPR0CT0R what makes you think its YOUR blue dot my friend? what makes you think anything could be YOURS? Point is, the human ego attaches itself to things that are tangible when in fact the ego doesn't exist at all... the brain simply creates a sense of self to make sense of its perceptions.
@D0CT0RPR0CT0R as another 17 year old male on the verge of tears, I read your comment and i dont even know to say. When I get fed up thinking about the evils that people have committed to our dot in the name of money and a fake God, I come here attempting to restore my faith in humanity. it always works.
@D0CT0RPR0CT0R What does being atheist have to do with anything? I'm agnostic myself but I bet if I was a beliver I would love my pale blue dot just the same.
@FrankCostanzasLawyer If you don't believe in the existence of a deity, just admit that one is possible (like I do), you are still, by definition, an atheist.
I don't think he meant to be divisive. If I'd said it, I'd have intended to say that even though I don't believe Earth was consciously designed to be special, nor to specifically matter to me, it really does. Here's more love for our little mote of cosmic dust, and the thin film of life on it! :)
@D0CT0RPR0CT0R I agree dude I'm 18 years old and the video didn't almost make me cry but I felt the catch in my throat then read your comment and my eyes welled up, I wouldn't trade either, in a million years for a billions things, this pale blue dot for any materialistic possesion. The fact we do exist is phenomenal and that's enough for me, I just hate the prospect of some humans going through this existence alone.
My only criticism is that 98% of the clips are from Hollywood films which means they're all fantasy. This erodes the significance and realism of Carl Sagan's words. This film would be devastatingly touching if you used video/pictures from *real* moments in history (Eg. WWII, paintings of Kings & Queens, 9/11 etc.).
@AlanAnthonyDoyle The sound *quality* is actually fine, that's just Mogwai's music that sounds like that. They're noisy and distorted; all their music is basically several heavily-distorted guitars playing at once.
It grows on you. I wouldn't have chosen this song for this video, though, I gotta say.
Ohh yes. The whole audiobook was like that, I've got it. It was recorded in the 90s but sounds like it was recorded in the 70s; low-budget audio/video quality seemed to be a recurring thing with Carl Sagan.
@abrelosojos18 This should go before Fear & Loathing and after Miller's Crossing:
Life Aquatic, To Kill a Mockingbird, [martin sheen film], The Great Dictator, The Professional, [the wild bunch?], Vanilla Sky, Gattaca, Gladiator, Braveheart, [truck being burned], Hero, Reservoir Dogs, Gangs of New York, American History X, Mystic River, Citizen Kane and 2001 (again).
Ok, I counted 62 films. Without cheating I could identify 54: Willy Wonka, Big Lebowski, Some Like it Hot, Moulin Rouge, You Me and Everyone we Know, Memento, Elephant Man, The Story of Others, Amelie, [japanese woman crying?], The Ten Commandments, [alec baldwin film?], T2, LOTR, Rashomon, 2001, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Eternal Sunshine, Life is Beautiful, Cinema Paradiso, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Dancer in the Dark, Usual Suspects, Miller's Crossing. Continues.....
@abrelosojos18 Continued: Fear & Loathing in las Vegas, Rounders, Scent of a Woman, Infernal Affairs, [asian woman sitting on bed], Brazil, Superman, North by Northwest, Shawshank Redemption, Patton, Mission to Mars, Blade Runner, Rear Window, Lady and the Tramp, [The Proposition], Ferris Bueller's Day Out, [woman dancing on seashore], In the Mood for Love, Singing in the Rain.
Without cheating: Willy Wonka, The Big Lebowski, Some Like it Hot , Moulin Rouge, ?, Momento, ?, ?, Amelie, ?, The Ten Commandments, ?, Terminator, The Lord of the Rings (Either 1 or 2), ?, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, ?, It's a Wonderful Life, Life is Beautiful, ?, The Life Aquatic, To Kill a Mockingbird, ?, ?, ?, ?, Vanilla Sky, ?, Gladiator, Braveheart, ?, Hero, Reservoir Dogs, Gangs of New York, American History X, Taxi Driver, Mystic River, Citizen Kane...

@veronicachic I recognize Willy Wonka, The Big Lebowski, Big Fish, The Lord of The Rings, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Its A Wonderful Life, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Space Odyssey, Hero, Reservoir Dogs, Citizen Kane, American History X, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Superman (of course), The Lady and The Tramp. Can anybody tell me what the last movie in the clip was? Looks interesting.
@veronicachic I know the one with Edward Norton, the one with the Swastika sign on his chest is from the movie American History X, There is Lord of The Rings, To Kill A Mockingbird, Space Odyssey 2001, Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind, Leon The Professional. That is all I know.
A metaphor on our insignifigance in the vastness of God's glory. But, Where are the BLACK people? Are we not on the pale blue dot? Were we not here 1st? Michael Jordan, Don Cheadle, and 1 gladiator, huh? LOL! That's another metaphor...
@fathergrimes Exactly what I thought. It made me think that if Hollywood is the height of our civilisation, it wouldn't be so bad if this particular pale blue dot was snubbed out of existence.
@fathergrimes You're absolutely right. What a horrible, horrible idea. Shot of Smeagol? Just because Carl said 'creature'? It's very amateur, and causes the audience to say "oh that's from X movie" instead of actually reflecting on what's being said. That, compounded with the fact that you're showing fictional accounts of humanity while we meditate on the truism of our existence. It's bad. And the sound mix is bad too.
this was really good except for the clip of Gollum...that wasn't on Earth :-p

@veronicachic I recognize Willy Wonka, The Big Lebowski, Big Fish, The Lord of The Rings, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Its A Wonderful Life, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Space Odyssey, Hero, Reservoir Dogs, Citizen Kane, American History X, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Superman (of course), The Lady and The Tramp. Can anybody tell me what the last movie in the clip was? Looks interesting.

@BAMboozlrisforGibo You forgot Memento, man. The final movie, by the way, is Singin' in the Rain.

Astronomy is very humbling indeed. It's a bit like what the philosophy of Buddhism says, "we are nothing". Self realisation is true enlightenment.

A metaphor on our insignifigance in the vastness of God's glory. But, Where are the BLACK people? Are we not on the pale blue dot? Were we not here 1st? Michael Jordan, Don Cheadle, and 1 gladiator, huh? LOL! That's another metaphor...

It's unfortunate that this person decided to add a montage of movie clips which really undermines the impact of what Carl is saying. Too bad.
fathergrimes 1 year ago
@fathergrimes Exactly what I thought. It made me think that if Hollywood is the height of our civilisation, it wouldn't be so bad if this particular pale blue dot was snubbed out of existence.
perkmashin 1 year ago
@fathergrimes You're absolutely right. What a horrible, horrible idea. Shot of Smeagol? Just because Carl said 'creature'? It's very amateur, and causes the audience to say "oh that's from X movie" instead of actually reflecting on what's being said. That, compounded with the fact that you're showing fictional accounts of humanity while we meditate on the truism of our existence. It's bad. And the sound mix is bad too.

~Why the heck didnt this end on one final image of the blue dot?!?!?! That would have been PERFECT!

This needs to be translated into every known language and shown to every last inhabitant on this "pale blue dot".

Love the quote, but you need to turn down the music. Or maybe choose something a little softer.
