Title: Watching it again so many years later... what a ride!
Review: I really enjoyedContact, written by Carl Sagan. So I remember, years ago, of having high expectations for the movie version. I was ready for an outstanding performance by Jodie Foster, but Matthew McConaughey was very well suited for his role as well.The ending, as you probably know, is different between the movie and book versions. And in the book, there are more than one travelers allowed to go into "the Machine."I started watching Contact again as I was running on a treadmill, and I was surprised that it held my attention so well that the miles just melted away (a 7 mile run). And I recently watched a NOVA segment on "mirror neurons." The acting of Jodie Foster and the girl who played her as a young girl, using my mirror neurons, had me "living the experiences" with her.Great, great film.
