After reading " Interstellar Exploration ", this man named " The Sexiest Man Ever in the World " by " People " magazine did not disappoint me. Brad Pitt is not only handsome, but also has acting skills.
However, I saw someone say that "Interstellar Exploration" is the Hollywood version of "Shanghai Fortress"...
It is true that "Interstellar Exploration" is not good enough in some aspects, but comparing it with "Shanghai Fortress", I can only say that there is a problem with your aesthetics, a big problem. "Interstellar Exploration" was nominated for the Golden Lion Award in the main competition unit of the 76th Venice Film Festival .
So, what is this film directed by James Gray and starring Brad Pitt about?
The male protagonist Roy (Brad Pitt) is an astronaut. One day he was dealing with a malfunction in the air when he suddenly suffered an energy fluctuation, which caused him to fall from an altitude of unknown number of meters.
Fortunately, he was calm enough to open the parachute in the air and landed safely.
Afterwards, the Aviation Administration found out that the source of the energy waves may be caused by antimatter, which was the energy source of the "Lima Project", which was Roy's father about 29 years ago (with English subtitles). Leading the first artificial space exploration project outside the solar system. They suspect that Roy's father is not dead, but is hiding near Neptune to manipulate the energy wave. They need Roy to go to the only laser security information station, Mars, and send a message to his father. They thought Roy, as his son, might respond.
So, next, Roy went to the moon first, and then took a rocket from the moon to Mars. In order to avoid panic, Roy's actions this time are classified. Therefore, after arriving on the moon, he needs an armed escort to assist him in going to the dark side of the moon (concealed and safe) to take a spacecraft to Mars. On the way to the escort, he encountered a moon pirate, and after sacrificing several escorts, he got on the rocket safely.
On the way to Mars, he suddenly encountered a distress signal. The source of the distress signal was biomedical and animal experimental research on the rocket. When the captain and Roy went to the rescue, they were attacked by the orangutan on the rocket. Roy solved the orangutan, but the captain did not. sacrificed.
After arriving on Mars, after the first time he couldn't contact his father according to the official language draft, Roy told his father what he wanted to say for the second time, and he got in touch, but the space agency thought he was showing private feelings. Not fit for action, want to send him back to Earth. Nothing is absolute, and with the help of the head of operations at the Mars base, he "smuggled" on a spacecraft to Neptune.
But who would know that these few astronauts who "share weal and woe" don't show any affection, and resolutely implement the orders of the space agency. As a result, Roy was "counter-killed" in the end. He went to Neptune alone.
After reaching Neptune, I finally figured out why. It turned out that the "Lima Project" has been exploring for so many years, but still no creatures other than humans have been detected. The members all want to return to Earth, but Roy's father still wants to explore, so he has a dispute with the members, which results in Antimatter ran out of control, creating a crisis of energy waves radiating to Earth.
Roy revealed that he was here to solve the energy radiation problem and wanted to bring his father home. But on the way, my father chose to drift into space and did not want to go back.
And Roy finally chose to return to Earth with the data that his father had researched for many years, and live with his girlfriend, instead of just devoting himself to aviation research.
There are indeed some places in the film that are not very well done, such as the time from Mars to Neptune, why the "Lima Plan" took so long to happen, and the earth was suddenly attacked by energy waves. It is true that I watched it twice and couldn't find it. answer the question.
But there are some questions, such as: why are there pirates on the moon, why is this clip specially designed, and the problem of the orangutan in the rescue spacecraft, such as the plot drag?
First of all, let's talk about the problem of orangutans. The play clearly shows that the rocket that happened was conducting biological research, so it is reasonable for a few orangutans to cause the accident. Maybe the experiment failed and the orangutan mutated out of control.
Secondly, why are there pirates on the moon? In the film, the lunar base personnel said that some countries provide shelter to pirates.
Personally speaking, it's not that the movie is dragged, but that you don't notice the details of some positions when you watch them. For example, a paragraph at the beginning of the film, I don’t know how many people have noticed it?
The near future is a time of hope and conflict. People are exploring the stars, hoping to discover extraterrestrial life and development prospects.
At the beginning of the film, I told everyone that the future is full of hope and conflict .
What the hope is, more available resources, and life beyond humans.
As Roy's father has been exploring and insisting;
The captain's boldness to ignore Roy's classified mission priorities for a distress call;
The head of Mars operations assists Roy in his "smuggling" adventure to Cepheus for a truth.
Conflict , with interests there will definitely be conflicts.
Lunar pirates loot resources and are sheltered by other countries;
The orangutan who was subjected to the experiment was violently wounded;
The crew's greed for life and fear of death, living hard;
So, under the storyline, the whole movie is no problem.
For the ending of the film, many people may feel "unfinished". In fact, we know that Roy's father is a very good astronaut in the film. He was the first to land on Jupiter, the first to land on Venus, and the first "Lima Project" to explore the artificial universe outside the solar system. The person in charge, a person as good as him will not accept his failure, nor will he admit that he has failed, so he has been alone in outer space for 16 years, so at the last moment he will definitely not return to Roy Home, for him, the universe is his home, a choice he made 30 years ago.
So, tell me, such a film is the Hollywood version of "Shanghai Fortress"?
