Contact (1997)

Director: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, William Fichtner
Based on Contact by Carl Sagan


Flight. Flight that starts on this very earth, in ordinary grey places that your eyes meet every day. However from second to second you move faster and faster, coming up higher.  

At some moment you suddenly realize that this is a space trip. Rising vibration in your cells threatens your body to fall to pieces, and when you think that it has almost happened, it stops, the dust and haze of planet's atmosphere vanish and the eternal magnificent universe comes to you. There is an unspeakable peace of mind.
 
"I wish I could share it. I wish everyone, 
if only for a moment - could feel that 
sense of awe, and humility... and hope. 
That continues to be my wish."
