I'm sorry, there was a parade of little teddy bears with sticks that just ran through my mind when I read that.
How odd

When the same line of dialogue is used at the beginning and end of a movie, often between the same characters, or to and by one character, to bring symmetry and closure to a character's story arc e.g.
Kingdom Of Heaven (spoken to and by Balian): that is your oath..[slap]...and that is so you don't forget it.

One other thing to add:
Every movie, no matter what it is about, or what genre it is, will involve a love story.

I looked but I didn't see it...
In any science fiction atmosphere, you can solve any technical problem by "Reversing the Polarity"
Which might throw all the compasses in the ship off if you think about it... (??)
