I felt LOVE-- did you feel it? (spoilers)

I watched this movie about a year ago-- and enjoyed it very much-- I wasn't just watching it on Netflix in my room, I was Captain Lee and I was in that shuttle going mad with him --

---

I had an old TV, that had a line running across it on the top and so i couldn't really see the title of the movie-- and could barely read the description.. Considering that I enjoy movies a lot more when I don't know what its about, I started it and it took me for a ride, albeit slow and confusing one but a ride nonetheless...

at the end of the movie, a female voice says

"Detecting life. Verified location. Good evening. Tonight has been a wonderful experiment of human contact. A symbiotic relationship between man and machine and you. The human brain is capable of many years of connection. Each one is a memory, an event. Tonight shall be remembered not by one, but by thousands of these relationships. As you leave here tonight, close your eyes and travel back to here, to now. And always remember that this was one moment. You were not alone, and you felt something that thousands of others have felt. And it was - "

as she was saying that-- I closed my eyes, I traveled back to here and now (whatever it may have meant to me then) and I remembered, as she had instructed me to do so and I confirmed that I was never alone (I was in fact the only one in the room but didn't feel like I was alone) and I searched for the feeling she was talking about and what it might have been-- and I said "LOVE" and a second later, she said "LOVE" and I was happy.

The movie, as I remember it now, did not have anything to do with love-- and I thought it was fascinating that, that's what it had conveyed.

I really liked and enjoyed this movie, but I'm struggling to connect any of it to "love."

The only thing I can come up with is the narration that mentions how human beings feel a need to connect with one another. That's a true enough statement, but mere connection isn't always actually "love," it's just contact, connection, proximity. More often we as human hate each other. But we seek out the proximity of other humans simply because we're social mammals.

He was going crazy in there for lack of human companionship, but honestly, not everyone would necessarily feel that way -- some people would find it a relief to be free of the hassle.

I liked the movie but I don't think "love" is really what's going on here.

I saw it the first time, when it first came out, and I don't know if I would call what I felt "love" but I was very much moved by it. I should add that at that time, I did describe it as "love".
