Based on true events, it is one of the important highlights of the film "Space Rescue".
But sometimes it can be very dramatic. The first time I saw such an outdated and crude Russian space film, it felt a little "unreal".
After all, they are all used to those Hollywood space movies.
The space movies I watched before were all in the near future. The space station is very large, with a gym, shower room, personal bedroom, and everything in it. The protagonist can still flirt and talk about love in it.
If you feel homesick, you can go online at any time, video chat, and you can face-to-face.
When you go out to perform tasks, the space suits are all glittering, fashionable and fashionable, and the fool-like touch screen operation. If you have any news, you can look at the LCD screen, which is convenient and intuitive to pull.
This is in line with cognition, what normal space looks like.
Look again at Space Rescue.
Remember, it was 1985.
Therefore, the space station area is very small, and it is difficult to turn around in the area where the two of them move;
Therefore, the astronauts and the ground can only communicate by voice at intervals, and each time they can only speak concisely and focus on the key points;
Therefore, the spacesuit looks ugly and rough, and there are messy instruments on it, and there is no sense of design at all; the computer is still stupid and stupid, the screen is still forgiving, and it is blinded when it goes out of the warehouse, and can only rely on the astronauts description and black and white photos to determine the fault location.
That was more than 30 years ago, without mobile phones, without the Internet, without social media, of course it looked old and old.
But in such an old age, relying on such "primitive" equipment, people were sent into space, and a space station was built, and they were able to tell dirty jokes and jokes on it...
For people like Xiaomin who did not exist in 1985, the impression of the 1980s should be coarse clothes, just eating, bicycles, white shirts, bell-bottoms... ah, ah, you told me that the United States and the Soviet Union were at that time. Fighting hard in the sky? The space station can not only live in people but also live in Xiaoqiang?
Reading it in a book is one thing, and reading it on a screen is another.
This setting is really a bit magical, so I have to take a breath and accept it slowly.
Best friend's space redemption
Having said that, I have to admit that this event is a good script by nature. Not to mention that space movies are hot spots, the protagonists of astronauts + engineers are exactly in line with the popular Bromance setting of good friends saving the world. After a little processing, it is an attractive and good story.
Fedorov, a capable person, an astronaut, experienced, courageous and resourceful, does not play cards according to common sense, likes taking risks, was forced to retire due to a mission error, but there is always nostalgia for space in his heart ;
Victor, assistant setting, engineer, designer of the Salyut-7 space station, although he has passed the medical examination before, but has never been to space, it is estimated that he is also holding a breath in his heart.
Their lives on earth are actually pretty good, with stable jobs, harmonious families, and beautiful wives.
The crisis of Salute No. 7 just gave the two a chance to rectify their names.
One is a designer who knows the space station better than anyone else, and the other is an adventurer who can't do anything but himself. The two of them formed a team and started their space journey.
The subsequent plot basically follows the problem-solving path, first water, then fire, then gas, and finally a thorn on the space station. At the beginning, I found that I thought it could not be solved. Abandoned, brothers united, a shocking hammer, a twist.
The thorns on the space station were removed, and they could continue to serve with full blood; the two were reborn from desperation and became heroes of the Soviet Union. The burrs about family and career must be smoothed out.
The game on the balance of interests
The mission of "Space Rescue" involves three aspects: national honor, space career and personal safety.
In the film, national honor is undoubtedly the first, and on the premise of ensuring national honor, how to choose between space career and personal safety constitutes the main contradiction in driving the plot.
The statement from the upper level was simple and rude, giving up the space business, knowing what was wrong and telling the astronauts to come back quickly, the space station was blown up.
Project director Jaya is extremely contradictory. As a scientific researcher, he can't let go of the space career; as a friend and colleague who gets along day and night, he can't let go of the safety of astronauts. At the time of the dilemma, the statement of the two good friends in the sky gave him great confidence and became a solid backing for the actions of the protagonist duo.
The two good friends are actually the most greedy. There are people waiting for them in the underground. Of course, they can't be led astray, but the space station is condensed with the efforts of the team, so how can they give up easily. In the end, death is certainly the safest way, but who can bear to live alone?
Wanting everything, not letting go of anything, finally came to the final, all-win or all-lose decisive moment.
Success, everyone is happy; failure, national honor, space career, personal safety, everything is lost.
The finale of the classic three-act series, the concentrated presentation of heroism. Of course we knew that the last iron pipe would be knocked off, but the middle of the knocking process was still tense.
In the extreme situation of space, people are too fragile and small, and simple thumping movements are so laborious.
So it is so powerful.
In terms of production, the script obviously has a Hollywood three-act framework and mature rules. Although there are explorations about social, institutional and psychological issues, it is only a shallow taste. However, as a commercial film with a low cost, it is possible to make such a film. The texture and effect are already above the standard.
The soundtrack is especially worth mentioning. The radio soundtrack in space is also a highlight. For Russians, there should be stalks and feelings in it, but we can't get it. However, the overall atmosphere is high, and it complements the theme of the film.
Finally, there is a small easter egg, the ground commander code name Zarya, which is a place name in the former Soviet Union, and also... the name of Maomei in Overwatch.
- The girls inside are so pretty, and the little girls are cute, but did they misunderstand our announcer, so fat...
- The little details are interesting. The Soviets are not afraid to laugh at themselves, smuggling wine into space, and molesting female astronauts in space...
