The main line of the movie is very simple. During an expedition to Mars, Mark Watney, played by Damon, was trapped and lost contact. After waking up, he found that the captain played by the model worker had taken someone away by boat. The movie tells the story of Watney alone, overcoming a severe shortage of supplies and extremely harsh conditions, and surviving on Mars.
Director Ridley Scott has been criticized as Shyamalan in the past few years. I still like Prometheus with the cut clips. The other films are really not as good as before. I feel sorry for the 77-year-old man. It's so good that this one is so good.
In view of the fact that both Damon and Chastain played (vaguely speaking) similar roles in Interstellar "Interstellar" (the situation here is almost the character's situation), I have to mention "Interstellar". My main criticism of Nolan's film is to use large and large expositions to narrate. The dialogue between the characters is not natural, and the lines are only available for the audience to understand, but in the end, it did not make most people fully understand. . A movie can inspire you, motivate you to popularize yourself, or really devote yourself to aerospace industry, but the first task of a movie is to tell stories, not to popularize science. "The Martian" is more like "Apollo 13" and "Remains of a Deserted Island" in style. Although there are explanations, it mainly tells stories. In addition to letting the audience understand the general plan, it does not try to make the audience learn. There are various technical links and scientific theories, and the scale is not as big as "Interstellar", and the concept is not as advanced as "Interstellar", which didn't make me feel awkward.
The movie’s comedy elements are very abundant, and it’s a lot more funny than most of the comedies I’ve seen this year. This is due to the clever writing of the original book and script, and from Damon, to Peña, to Jeff Daniels, to Ejiofor, these main characters They are all very witty.
But this humor is natural and not artificial. Although the movie is funny, it still cannot be summarized as "this is clearly a comedy"-a person is trapped on Mars. This risk and survival rate are unprecedented. When Watney hurriedly put the steel bar in his stomach No one laughs when it is pulled out, no one laughs when a little bit of a little bit, when...you get the idea. There is no shortage of moments in this movie that make the whole theater hold your breath, and in terms of the balance of the atmosphere, the movie also well-done.
This balance comes from nature and reality. The character’s optimism is credible, humor is credible, anger is credible, and frustration is credible. Because the special effects are well done, if you tell you that this is "adapted from a true historical story", this is all acceptable. Letter. Subtlety-Subtlety, the film does not have to be distracted to create dramatic things, the plot itself is enough to be attractive; on the contrary, every time I am moved, it is very detailed things: a character's natural reaction, an actor's choice of performance , A very common line, etc.
Damon is... Damon. There's really nothing to say, he is a good actor, and he showed it to us here. Without his charm, the scene on Mars would be boring. Of course, this also has the credit of the script and the director.
Although Jessica Chastain doesn't have many roles in the film, the performance given is still my most nostalgic performance. She doesn't have to laugh and cry. Most of the time, she is basically restraining her facial expressions, but in that restraint, I saw a very remarkable technique. One of her lines is my favorite, and it can be regarded as the core of the spirit of the film-"Let's work the problem."
The three prominent people on earth are Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean. Sean Bean’s character personality, just A Ned Stark, and—spoiler—he didn't die because he was on earth. (
Oooo! This point needs to be added-Project Elrond? In the movie, the name from "Lord of the Rings" was used for the meeting, and Sean Bean was actually present! ! ! ! The surprise brain burst! ) The character of Jeff Daniels is just one Will McAvoy. Many people say that he plays well, but I feel used to it. The best is Ejiofor, (if you haven't watched Serenity and Firefly, please tear up this film review quickly) He is a deep man, but he is both serious and humorous, and he has a good grasp.
The only thing that makes me feel a little weird is the little genius played by Gambino, who feels that this character is a little bit exaggerated and conflicts with the down-to-earth colors of other people.
Movies are usually 2 hours and 20 minutes. Although they sometimes slow down, they are very attractive from beginning to end, and will not make you too long or too procrastinated. Its music even reminds you of "Guardians of the Galaxy", although the protagonist of the movie has a completely opposite attitude towards these music. At the end of the movie, my admiration and curiosity for the aerospace industry and the practitioners were also strongly stimulated. I cursed myself, why study law, you piece of shit!
The ending subtitle of the movie is I Will sung by Gloria Gaynor Survive is accompanied by the song, and the familiar piano prelude makes people smile, but I soon realized how well this word fits the movie, and the previous touch of this song has slowly returned from the depth of memory to the consciousness of consciousness. In the scene, everyone dances while leaving the table is also a very warm scene. They all smile when they come out, but their faces are not clean.
This is truly one of the best experiences this year.
