Every shallow human (such as me) who likes to read "surprise stories" and "unsolved mysteries" for excitement (such as me) must be a little interested in Mars.
Without him, humans have been more familiar with Mars in history, calling it Yinghuo, or Mars, the god of war. Among the existing surface photos of the neighboring solar systems, the surface details of Mars are the clearest, and it looks very friendly. As the right side of the earth, it is not as dangerous as Venus next to the left, and the surface looks like there are traces of rivers. It was once the dream place of human galaxy immigrants.
With such expectations, the following types are most often mentioned in the wild history of Mars: 1. The Martian Canal. Second, there may be liquid water in the poles of Mars. Third, the human face of Mars. The three arguments are just to prove one thing: there were people on Mars, and they can become a habitable place for humans in the future.
In particular, the third point is often used as evidence that "Mars once had humans." To be honest, that picture is everywhere, and I thought it was amazing when I was young. When I looked at it when I grew up, I didn't feel any obvious artificial traces. There are many mountains on Mars, and it is easy for light and shadow to create a specious "human face".
It should be people who have grown up, and the genes that express "romance" have worn out. When I was a teenager, I really suspected that the face was a spacecraft left by an alien.
To tell the truth, I wait for shallow humans. The main way to understand the progress of human extraterrestrial exploration is Hollywood science fiction films. This is really a tragic reality. We always pay too much attention to the content of entertainment and often believe that it is true. However, the tofu block news that "discovered a habitable planet" in the news, with its boring text and unattractive style, has always been ignored, unless Which Hollywood dad took it as a new idea and made it into a movie.
Therefore, my understanding of the great idea of human colonization is this: the solar system (or outside the galaxy) has been highly developed, people are driving mechas or flying shuttles, various black market transactions, interstellar smuggling, red People with green skin are full of pits. The earth within the solar system is still on the fringe of the interstellar era, and the farthest man is just a step on the moon. The biggest ideal at present is to plant potatoes on Mars.
How sad. Compared with the big guys in the distant universe, human beings are just a bunch of bugs.
But this does not prevent us from continuing to dream. If you grow potatoes, you can grow potatoes. For thousands or eight hundred generations, whose ancestors weren’t the orangutans who smashed walnuts with rocks.
Still have to work hard to go to Mars, or some farther star. In case of discovering the benevolence of the Creator, human beings can ascend to the sky in one step, stride across the middle of the process of touching the rocks and crossing the river, and be directly encouraged by Yanmiao to become an interstellar walker. Although we encourage steadfast progress step by step, if there is a chance to save effort, fools don't need it.
Back to this film. The core content is actually the magical "Martian face", which just transforms the rough image into a beautifully carved statue with a postmodern style. The first half is "The Martian", the middle is "Gravity", and the second half is the mild version of "Prometheus". It makes sense logically and the special effects are pretty good.
If there is any problem, it is probably a problem with the rhythm. For example, in the obviously very stressful rescue process, the rhythm was slowed down inexplicably, and the two people looked at each other, which diluted the tension a lot. After entering the human face spacecraft in the later period, it may be better if the rhythm can be accelerated. And-the part where the actor who finally decided to stay on the spacecraft was soaked in buffer, always makes me feel that my ancestors may have bad intentions-it looks like a bubble specimen, is there any!
Digression: Can human beings travel far between the stars? How can I go? I personally thought that it would be very difficult to achieve "interstellar colonization" with the human body. The fact is that whether you believe in Darwin's theory of evolution or not, "survival of the fittest" is indeed a big problem. Humans can live well on the earth because the earth’s environment is suitable for humans. But in the vast universe, how many planets can have a homogeneous environment, and if so, how are we going to get there?
In the vast universe, the most common environment is vacuum, and the most common energy is waves. Obviously neither of these are suitable for human survival. Carbon-based life requires sugar as energy, and loss of pressure or oxygen can cause death. The environment in the universe is endless, and the human body can only adapt to a small strip as narrow as a thread. If humans want to fly into space now, they need bulky spacesuits to maintain their living environment, huge spacecraft to store food, medicines, spare resources, maintenance resources, and the huge amount of fuel needed by the spacecraft itself. Objects can only carry dozens of people at most hundreds. If you want to install more people, you need to jump directly to the pseudo-proposition of "starship"—throwing a spaceship the size of a planet into the sky, you may only be able to install people from the next city.
And how much energy does it really need for a star fleet to go to the sky and reach the escape speed to fly into the universe? I didn't calculate it, but it is estimated that human beings are not enough. So mankind is pinning its hopes on nuclear energy, but nuclear energy itself is a double-edged sword, and mankind may not be able to control it. At least for now, there are still countless people who oppose nuclear energy research, and even nuclear power plants are not welcome. The greatest use of nuclear energy is still a deterrent weapon. This cannot but be said to be a kind of sorrow.
What's more, even though the human Hubble has been able to look into the deep space, he still hasn't found any known types of life. Human beings are lamenting, is it possible that we are alone in the universe? In the second point, there is such a lament: Is it possible that only humans are the proud children of heaven, and this boundless universe is only born for humans?
I'm sorry I will vomit for a while...
Currently only humans are not fake. There are several speculations as to why no other life can be found: One is that there is really no one. Human beings in the universe are lonely. The second is that humans are babies in the universe. Some advanced civilizations keep humans in "nursing rooms". When humans evolve to an appropriate level, they can leave the "nursing rooms", see the truth of the universe, and join the interstellar age.
There is also a speculation, but no one wants to admit: the universe is actually very lively. Interstellar life is everywhere, including around us-but we can't see it. This means that interplanetary life is not carbon-based, it may be pure energy life, or it may be dark matter life that humans cannot understand. In short, they don't need to be like humans, they have to rely on bulky equipment to fly.
Humans cannot see them, nor can they understand them. Whether they can see humans is unknown. The worst is being able to-humans may look like zoo animals in their eyes.
Human beings do not want to admit this, probably because of self-esteem. If you admit it, it means that human beings are an extremely backward race, and the physical body is a drag, and human beings are too old-fashioned and unwilling to give up this body that has nothing to do with it. I would rather sacrifice my great imagination and portray how to drag this heavy burden to the universe over and over again in science fiction. In human fantasy, the lively interstellar is full of carbon-based life, no matter how it deforms, grows a red head, six horns, and becomes an alien, it must also be carbon-based.
As for other types of life, think about it, human beings can't even accommodate silicon-based life AI. AI must be and can only be dictated by humans. If it has its own consciousness, it will become "The Matrix" every minute, and it will have a battle with humans.
They don't even trust the life they made, let alone other highly developed types of life. In the genes of human beings, it is written that non-self races do not share the heavens.
So I actually have a dark interpretation of the ending of "Mission to Mars". It is true that the Martians are the ancestors of mankind, but when they escaped into the universe, they may not take the flesh. Leaving the genes to the earth is considered a legacy. The spacecraft on Mars must have been designed by them after standing still somewhere (otherwise where they should be positioned), so that many years later, the Martians who have been highly developed out of their physical form want to miss the original physical body. Abduct one back as a specimen.
Or, the Martians did not evolve to escape from the physical body, and the spacecraft was left directly when they left, and the course was probably designed to track and follow. But this kind of speculation is really not optimistic. If the Martians have been annihilated, where will the hero fly to?
In the follow-up, the possibility of not being optimistic accounted for the vast majority. So when you watch the film, it will be over when the male lead flies away, so I won’t talk about it later.
The screenwriter is so smart.
