«громадянин кейн» фантастичної літератури

#цитата | «for small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love».

гхм. фільм «контакт», попри глибину, все ж таки дуже не дотягує до глибини оригіналу. катарсис роману… правдивіший, він не про віру (це мене подратувало в фільмі) і не має форми проповіді.

«контакт» — це наче «громадянин кейн» фантастичної літератури.

п.с. якщо сподобався «контакт» сагана, я б прочитав ще «аврору» кіма стенлі робінсона.

boring endless self-centered monologue of the cliché-like main personage with overcoming personal problems. unnecessary gay love all over the place that fails to look real or bring context to the story. short and impotent descriptions that completely fail to make you imagine the setting… idk, this novell has it all, it's as boring as modern sci-fi can get :-(
