召喚/與亡靈溝通，通常通過降靈會或靈媒進行，是一種由來已久的習俗和信仰體係，在這種體係中，生者試圖與亡靈建立聯係。雖然缺乏科學驗證，但許多人聲稱經曆過死後溝通（ADC），並從親人那裏獲得了慰藉和訊息。Communicating with the deceased, often facilitated through a séance or by a medium, is a long-standing practice and belief system where a living person attempts to connect with spirits. While scientific validation is lacking, many people report experiencing after-death communication (ADC), finding comfort and signs from loved ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr8S0sWom3Q?

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 16%, based on 25 reviews, with an average rating of 4.78/10. The website's consensus reads: "The Summoning (Planetarium) looks out on a constellation of potentially brilliant ideas, but proves fatally unable to find its focus".[10] On Metacritic the film has a score of 44 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[11]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote: "Planetarium is an inert and slipshod movie — messy and aimless, a period tale told with zero period atmosphere (you have to keep reminding yourself that it’s not taking place in 2016), built around a situation with enough possibilities to make you wish that the director, Rebecca Zlotowski, had taken advantage of at least one of them".[12]
Plot
In the late 1930s, two American sisters, Laura and Kate Barlow, travel to France where they perform séances at cabarets with Laura hosting the session and Kate channeling the spirits. A public performance of theirs is seen by French film producer Andre Korben. Impressed by their act, he books them for a private session and is moved by the spirit that visits him.
Feeling stifled by the lack of innovation in the French film industry, Korben convinces investors and his team to film a séance as it happens. Unfortunately for Korben, the reels look ridiculous. But the director is drawn to Laura, who, despite not being a spiritualist, has a face that photographs well. The film team conceives of a conventional script in which Laura plays a medium who channels the spirit of a widower's wife and the three become locked in a love triangle with the widower unsure if he is falling in love with his former wife or the medium.
- Mediumship & Séances: Mediums may use séances—small group gatherings, often in dim lighting—to enter trances and act as conduits for messages. They may employ techniques such as automatic writing, interpreting noises (raps), or hearing messages telepathically.
- Common Methods of Connection:
- After-Death Communication (ADC): Many people report experiencing signs such as sensing a presence, hearing a voice (internally or externally), smelling a familiar scent, or seeing physical signs like flickering lights.
- Dreams: Vivid, emotionally charged dreams are often considered a significant channel for messages from the deceased.
- Signs/Symbols: Many believe in receiving signs from the deceased, such as butterflies, birds, or finding coins.
- Purpose: These practices are generally used to seek messages of love, comfort, and reassurance, and to help with the healing process after loss.
- Varied Beliefs: While some find these experiences to be genuine, others view them as psychological, or as stage magic tricks when conducted by fraudulent mediums. Religious perspectives also vary, with some traditions forbidding attempts to communicate with the dead.
- Sensing a presence: A feeling of a loved one being nearby.
- Flickering lights/Electrical items: Lights, televisions, or radios turning on/off.
- Finding items: Discovering feathers or dimes unexpectedly.
- Vivid dreams: Dream visits that feel more realistic than normal dreams.
- Hearing a voice: A, a whisper or a mental impression of a loved one's voice.
