The brief introduction of the plot looks like this:
"My name is Matt Duomo, and I am working on an entrepreneurial project in a six-person team. At the beginning, we proceeded very smoothly, until an accident happened suddenly and the other members of our team left. After taking away the money and resources, I was the only one left behind. I have two questions before me: one is how to finish the project, regain the favor of the big guys, and get the investment; the other is what do I have to do before the funds are in place Survive."
"Fortunately, my team members did not have time to take away the data and equipment. Although the remaining equipment is old, although the source code is not commented, it is not difficult to turn over with them. The first problem is solved. , There is only the second question. I don’t shave or take a shower. In order to save money I grow potatoes to support myself, and finally solve the problem of eating.”
“What touched me is that the big guys have been paying close attention to the progress of my project. , I also sent experts to remote guidance, and even promised to me, as long as I can get through this year of the project, more than a year after they gave me to invest, to save my life. " "
helpless first funds just started, I encountered a financial turmoil, and it was all overwhelmed. Misfortunes never come singly. My potatoes were frozen to death in the once-in-a-hundred-year cold wave, and my food was cut off. This is my most desperate time. I look at the deserted horizon every day.
I’m thinking about creating a magnificent business, why didn’t I become a civil servant?” “At the critical moment, my friends didn’t abandon me. The remaining five people on the team decided to abandon the company’s listing plan. , Took a VC investment and turned around to save me. This was a great and difficult decision for them. We must know that the company had already begun to take shape at that time, and my project was the most difficult and risky. Throw all the money on it, maybe the whole army will be wiped out, and everyone will return to the basement state together."
"However, the friendship and trust between our team defeated everything. The six members worked overtime and stayed up all night to overcome technical problems. Off-site experts gave their best guidance. Finally, we risked our lives and put the product online on time. You have already seen the ending. , Our company has become the most promising startup company in 2015 and has countless users."
"Someone asked me, did I ever be afraid when I faced the dilemma of being poor and white? I tell you that at that time I did not I didn't think about anything else, I just thought about solving one problem first, and then solving another problem, nothing more. "
Come on, everyone, let's applaud the startup star Matt (laughs).
Put aside the jokes, just talk about movies. This movie is definitely the best of the year! The picture has nothing to say, the desolate and vast dark red land is the keynote of the whole film, accompanied by the lack of oxygen and water on Mars, and the unobstructed starry sky in the middle of the night, it is simply too beautiful. The subject matter is even more remarkable. Unlike the similar themes of "Interstellar Crossing" and "Gravity", although the background of this "Martian Rescue" is set in outer space, it is unexpectedly quite grounded. This does not mean that the protagonist steps on the (Martian) ground 90% of the time, but that the process of solving problems in the film is so familiar.
Was thrown on an alien planet alone? Don't think too much about anything, first adjust the oxygen level to normal, treat the wound, eat a meal, sit down and analyze the problem.
No food? It doesn't matter if we grow our own. Mars has sunlight, the base has sufficient oxygen, and there is reusable poop in the toilet, which is quite natural except for the nausea.
no water? Fortunately, there is compressed hydrogen gas and it burns to generate water. Please give me a pass in middle school chemistry.
Can't contact the earth? Use all available resources to find the path between Path finder and the earth. Although there is only one camera for that thing, fortunately, the camera can be turned, and a hexadecimal code can be used to transmit information.
My friend came to rescue me, but my spacecraft is too heavy to lift off? Throw away the seat windows and roof, how cool and cool the open-top rocket is.
What should I do if I am too far away from my friends in space and cannot fly over? The spacesuit cuts a hole in each hand, and the person is like Iron Man, who controls the balance with both hands and flies over!
You see, every time the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the desperate situation comes to life. Unlike the questions in school textbooks, the male protagonist does not have much resources at his disposal, and all the questions he faces are "the first time on earth". There is no reference to the experience of his predecessors, and there is no standard answer. At this time, all I can rely on is my solid technical foundation, the brain power to break through the sky, and the courage to try boldly.
Not taking the usual path, this kind of hacker spirit can make people survive from despair. Everyone who is doing technology, I must feel the same when seeing here. Every project we face is not simply copying and pasting the predecessors to complete, there are so many new requirements and challenges, so many seemingly unrealizable technical problems, and so many strange user needs. At this time, there is only one way to go, desperately innovating, even if the method looks incredible, the one that can produce results is a good method. Even if the products made by the written code look unreliable, in short, it is... let's talk about it when it goes online.
Time waits for no one, and you starve to death if you are timid.
Of course, it's not okay to just go ahead and put it into production without testing. While this movie teaches us to be brave and innovate, it also shows us the serious consequences of design loopholes-Matt is the first time to use the method of burning hydrogen to make water, without considering the oxygen he breathes. It was blown up. NASA hurried for three months and finally launched a spacecraft full of rescue materials, but it crashed due to a technical error. Don't underestimate the mistakes in the details, at critical moments, it can be fatal.
For the technical house, the viewing experience of this movie is really good. Just talk about the narrative technique, it also makes me quite like it-flat and straight narrative is not sensational, if "Gravity" is a prose full of emotional and humanistic care, "The Martian" is like reading a technical report, there is no literary talent, but It's definitely not boring. Those parts that should have been filled by "feelings" and "themes on tall" have been replaced by specific small projects. The director really knows how to grasp the hearts of the dead houses and break a difficult Mars survival battle into zero. Every small task is just within the actor's ability. It makes people think that his final victory is not because of gold fingers or Shit luck, but a real, technical victory.
The character of the actor is also very good, Matt Damon played this optimistic and humorous "Martian Pirate Mr. Golden Beard" super cute. Even in the most difficult times, he did not forget to complain about "the most miserable thing is to eat potatoes without ketchup" and "The music you leave behind is so old-fashioned, Captain." To be honest, I once doubted the authenticity of this character-who could be so happy to be thrown on an alien planet? However, when the protagonist cleaned the base, counted the food, and started to make a survival plan, I understood that being left alone on Mars is far from the scariest for the tech house. Think about it, on an uncultivated planet, you have a certain amount of tools and potential ingredients in your hand, and the complicated instruments are also very considerate with technical documents-it is more exciting than worrying about when it will die. Immediately set out to plan one hundred and one surviving projects? A whole new project is in front of you, don't say anything at this time, just get started quickly!
Einstein once said that the most suitable career for a scientist is a lighthouse keeper. Because on the lighthouse, scientists can concentrate on research without distraction. Then I think the most suitable "disaster" for engineers is such an alien survival battle-there are enough possibilities on Mars for you to carry out the most interesting innovation.
In the end, the actor's words to the NASA newcomers also clarified the theme: "I was not afraid of death at the time, but first solved one problem, then solved the next one, and then I came back!" Indeed, his final The goal is to return to Earth, but what he focuses on is the question of "how to do it". This reminds me of what Mark Zuckerberg said in a conversation with Chinese college students. Someone asked him how to successfully start a business, he said: "If you always want to build the best company, you will not succeed. If the goal is to change the world, then you have a good idea, and then you can have a good company." The magnificent and utilitarian goal is right, but at every step, our eyes must always focus on those complicated and beautiful, too basic questions-for
example, starting with how to grow potatoes with poop.
Stepping on the red earth, looking up at the sky full of stars, there is no goal that cannot be achieved.
