I remember watching this movie and being so glued to this movie and being blown away at how realistic it looked. This scene especially. I was so ecstatic to see that they were about to be travelling into the unknown and when it was sabotaged and the machine was destroyed, I felt crushed inside because they could in no good conscience rebuild the machine after so much money was poured into it. I remember thinking, "This movie better not end like this or I'm going to be really pissed off!" LOL. Then S.R. Hadden came and saved the day, 😁🤞👍. Freakin' love this movie!
Then Dr. Arroway went and travelled through the wormhole, met with an actual Vegan (passing off as her father to ease her disorientation), came back and most of the Washington establishment didn't believed her since her pod passed straight through the arrows. Not to mention the late S.R. Hadden was being blamed for the whole situation, as a possible publicity stunt.
Remember watching this in a huge cinema in West London with my friend and his wife. He turned around to be after the movie and said "what a f*cking brilliant movie". Can't believe it was 25 years ago. Still an absolute classic.
I saw this in the theater when it first came out. Seeing this explosion for the first time on a great big screen was indescribable. I've seen this movie dozens of times (not for maybe ten years now), but watching it again here still gave me chills up and down my body.
+nine9s the sound continuity mistake when the machine blows up, the sound of the exterior sounding in the interior of the control centre. It should have been mixed at duller and defused like sound to make it sound like its outside as it sounded like it all the flying derbies was crashing on the inside which wouldn't be possible with laws of sound physics. Go and play the scene again on what ever format disc you have. Then again simply listening to the scene here. The explosion no way would sound clear with high end freq between the glass of launch-control-centre it looks to be about quarter of a mile away. The glass must be so cool it should replace perforated screens that normally roll-off hf freq with speakers behind it.

the first time I watched it long time ago I didn't understand that the terrorist was the christian that was mad at the contact with aliens, I just understood it when I watched it recently, and it was electrifying! Also, i personally thought it was really sad the scene where he is talking with a microphone and she passes by with the car, and he says something like "these scientists ruined the world"
when you first watch this scene its shocking, but afterwards you think 'unfortunately that's probably exactly what would happen in real life'. get better security lol!!
Chad K oh fuck off, there are and were many other tragedies as bad or worse than that. You just think it's more important because it was americans instead of Rwandans or any of the thousands of other tragedies
A rocket launch is not what is happening here, what is happening here is the possible contact with an extraterrestrial life. Think better about it and the consequences of telling to the world that their god may not exist.
2:05 You see the bomber enter the gantry behind Ellie. 2:52 Anyone's natural reaction to realizing it is none other than... Jake Busey. Outstanding movie by the way. Especially this scene.
Well... textures today are much better, but I find that a lot of CGI today feels weightless, TOO fake. Even though the Machine lacks a realistic texture, when it explodes and falls apart, it feels like it has weight to it. The great sound design and mix of different quality cameras (TV, security footage, film) helps with the illusion too.
If you think about it, there wasn't much CGI in this movie. More practical sets than anything. The only heaviest was towards the ending. So that could explain why it looks so well, because they were able to put appropriate resources to needed scenes.
"Was" sadly, he died in 1996. When I saw the book in paperback form, and it said they were making this film starring the goddess Jodie Foster, I thought someone had looked into my mind to figure out the film I was most likely to want to watch. A story by a man I have admired for decades, starring a woman I have adored for even longer!
I think he spotted what Ellie herself would later observe during her ride: a mismatch between the telemetry and direct experience. And they didn't believe her either.
This scene always shocked me, specially when I saw it on the screen for the first time. But how the hell did someone wearing a goddamn bomb-vest get so close to supposedly the most expensive machine ever built by mankind?
I've not read the book so no idea if it either has the answer or even plays out the same way, but perhaps the bomber was friends with or related to someone who had clearance, and that person had similar motives. Still a stretch, but within the realm of possibility.
@@nine9s will biscaly its god made it happen or what ever an alien because they didn’t want human to go and visit them because they don’t think humans are ready and the bomber was a message for humans to not make tht type machines thts wut the alien said to the girl
I haven't seen this movie in its entirety in about a year, but just now, this scene made me genuinely scared/emotional. I can't remember feeling the same thing about any other action movie or drama recently. There are parts about this movie I don't like, and some parts that are just plain cheesy, but overall I love this movie.
When I saw this scene when I was watching the movie it scared me so much. That guy was definitely a nut job. And I love how this movie completely captures how people would react if this happened. If we actually did get a CONTACT from someone else. Amazing.
At the end, the guy in the control room 'ok, back to your stations, I need you people calm'. Holy shit this was more a private Hudson from Aliens type moment 'game over man. fucking game over'!!! lol
This might be the most intense scene I've ever seen in a film. I've seen many intense scenes, that most would say are more intense than this one, but for some reason this scene just makes me tense up more than any other.
I remember seeing this movie forever ago, and i just saw it again a week ago or something. And still, this is the single scene that frightens me most, it is so creepy and sad.
they'd do anything to maintain that status quo, not because of their beliefs, but because they'd lose all influence if the truth was to come out. if humanity had managed to make contact with aliens every religion, every church on this planet would be D.O.N.E fked. that's why major world powers keep everything hidden from us for centuries
Amazing scene. Interesting that you can sometimes see the cult leader/bomber guy in the background on the monitors a couple of times while the camera is fixed on the main characters in the control room.
I like the director’s subtle touch at 4:33, where you see armed soldiers entering the control room to enforce a lockdown until the security threat is confirmed to be neutralized.
I always thought it was fitting that the test never took place. It is only when Ellie herself travels in it that it becomes cosmic poetry. Even in her journey the chair becomes dislodged. The mistrust of humans is shown. It's cathartic. Just my opinion.
it's also most likely that when she traveled with the second machine the security around & inside of that thing was out of this world, so nothing & nobody fucks up the experiment
the story Sagan used to get his idea across. He wrote a book and created an alien race to get across an idea that clearly has passed by you. The point of Contact was to show that we're all in this together, all of humanity are one and the same - there's no reason to fight each other. Religion and science can coexist, communists and capitalists can coexist, as long as we respect each other. Because we're all looking for answers, all trying to survive. "What makes this universe bearable is love."
nop, humanity cannot coexist with each other, as long as there are such powerful beings as humans in the universe we will always fight amongst ourselves, it's in our nature to surpass & destroy each other. it can even be called our purpose. sad & unfortunate, but that's the way it goes..
Did anyone else notice that during the machine destruction sequence the overlay sound was a rapid heartbeat that settles down after the debris stops flying. A rapid heartbeat that slows to normal. A little sound trickery.
...they find in Pi a code. The end of the book insinuates that the universe has a design, when Ellie talks to the Caretakers they are using a wormhole system built by someone else long before they showed up. The book is anything but anti-religious. The main character is very intolerant of religious views in the beginning, but through her experiences finds that we're all just looking for the truth, and that the truth is not always so black and white. I don't think you read the book...
Good thing that the parts, which were swept by the explosion, didn't fell on all those people, who were gathered there. It would have been very painfull scene, if the director had decided to put that in the movie.
Reactions of the personel in the control hall suprised me though. The whole thing that cost like an universe amount of money just blew up in pieces, nevertheless they're all like 'okay, it's done now, let's go back to our computers and keep computing...'
Totally makes sense. Challenger exploding while launching to orbit, Columbia disintegrating while reentering Erath's atmosphere for a supposedly routine landing. Professionals like these must keep their duties, shake the emotions the best they can (and have so been trained to do) and get the essential work done, work that cannot be postponed at all, like telemetry of the remaining undamaged/working parts/structures, data analysis and recovery of any information vital for the upcoming investigations. Everything the protocols anticipate and dictate in case of a major or catastrophic failure. Including S&R teams coordination, attemps to contact still living and working people at the affected posts.
Carl Sagan wasn't merely a scientist and astronomer. He was an unbelievably professional storyteller. Not that anyone gives him the credit for this, lol. 🙄 R.I.P. Carl 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
It's interesting watching the machine be destroyed: 1. The bomb blows up the end of the crane, which held the pod, and that part falls onto the rings, but so far no more has happened. 2. The end of the crane hits one of the rings, bouncing off of it but still causing no noticeable damage. It then hits another ring and is flung off. 3. Now the crane part that was flung away smashes into the base of the crane and this causes enough damage that the entire crane infrastructure begins to come down. 4. The crane hits into the rings, and this causes one ring to finally break, and from there it dominoes into the entire machine being destroyed. There's kind of an underlying point in the film that the stuff humanity does in regards to the machine that is what causes problems for them. In this the machine itself actually stands up to some of the initial damage, and it's the parts that people added that destroy it in the end. For the pod itself, the added chair ends up being destroyed and the camera ends up filming nothing but static. Essentially humanity needed to understand to just let things happen without interfering. In other words... ...they needed to have faith.
Not at all. It’s nothing about faith. It’s the opposite. It’s that follow science instead of blind faith. If you want to put trust in something trust science which is the ultimate universal truth. The machine got destroyed because of faith rather than science (the religious zealot) and the chair got destroyed because it ran counter to the science of the pod and camera recorded static because the aliens wiped it.
If I move a ring, that I assume is made of an alloy that can withstand the inertial forces, at near the speed of light, in proximity to a centre stationary mass, provided the ring moves near absolute light speed, the framedragged spacetime from the ring exerts an inertial force on the stationary mass as if it were accelerating up to a given slightly smaller velocity. Increasing the stationary masses mass, that's how you can relativistically inflate entangled bell pairs, without breaking the entaglement pathway between them
First rule of government spending: why build one when you can have two for twice the price? Only... this one can be kept secret... Makes me wonder what CERN is all about? Opening a doorway to another dimension, eh?

They still think that (most likely). We are already recognising some of our flaws and barbarisms, but we are long way from dealing with those.
They basiclly realise that at the end of the film, that humanity is still too divided and backwards to join the other civilisations.

It's interesting watching the machine be destroyed:
1. The bomb blows up the end of the crane, which held the pod, and that part falls onto the rings, but so far no more has happened.
2. The end of the crane hits one of the rings, bouncing off of it but still causing no noticeable damage. It then hits another ring and is flung off.
3. Now the crane part that was flung away smashes into the base of the crane and this causes enough damage that the entire crane infrastructure begins to come down.
4. The crane hits into the rings, and this causes one ring to finally break, and from there it dominoes into the entire machine being destroyed.
There's kind of an underlying point in the film that the stuff humanity does in regards to the machine that is what causes problems for them. In this the machine itself actually stands up to some of the initial damage, and it's the parts that people added that destroy it in the end. For the pod itself, the added chair ends up being destroyed and the camera ends up filming nothing but static. Essentially humanity needed to understand to just let things happen without interfering. In other words...
...they needed to have faith.
The Nothing Nobody wow, that was good
@@ikillfurries Thank you, I appreciate that.
Not at all. It’s nothing about faith. It’s the opposite. It’s that follow science instead of blind faith.
If you want to put trust in something trust science which is the ultimate universal truth.
The machine got destroyed because of faith rather than science (the religious zealot) and the chair got destroyed because it ran counter to the science of the pod and camera recorded static because the aliens wiped it.
If I move a ring, that I assume is made of an alloy that can withstand the inertial forces, at near the speed of light, in proximity to a centre stationary mass, provided the ring moves near absolute light speed, the framedragged spacetime from the ring exerts an inertial force on the stationary mass as if it were accelerating up to a given slightly smaller velocity. Increasing the stationary masses mass, that's how you can relativistically inflate entangled bell pairs, without breaking the entaglement pathway between them

fuck, this scene is so well done
Isnt just funny or weird that the ship looks like the Ezekiel's angels vision?
I believe that Elon Musk would call that a R.U.D. (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly).
First rule of government spending: why build one when you can have two for twice the price? Only... this one can be kept secret... Makes me wonder what CERN is all about? Opening a doorway to another dimension, eh?
