I love the loneliness and desolation in the depths of the universe

In recent years, film creators and audiences have discovered the charm of science fiction films that are close to reality. This charm comes from the reverie that something in the film is likely to actually happen. Compared with "Star Wars" which is completely different-dimensional, "Gravity" captures the silence, void, cold, darkness and light of space to give audiences a concentrated experience without burden. "Interstellar" passed The grand layout and reliable logic gave the audience the passion that "our journey is the stars and the sea". Ridley Scott’s "The Martian", which was just released, is somewhere in between. It brings the audience various experiences on Mars for the first time, but it is not like "Gravity". Focusing on this experience, it also tells a story with a gag character.

This is a "no bad guys" movie. People from all over the world and scientists of all skin colors work together to bring home Matt Damon who was landed on Mars at all costs. The Chinese Space Administration assisted, the black genius teenager in the NASA laboratory, a harmonious world in fantasy, entrusted the creator's beautiful vision, which is very good. This film is an adaptation of a novel. The original has a lot of scientific explanations, and it is still a first-person narrative. The adaptation is not small. Director Lei has grasped two key points. One is to highlight the character's personality and gag to let the audience experience this adventure with ease. The other is to focus on the advantages of the movie, showcasing the end-like picture of Mars and the space world, and let the audience have their eyes. addiction. With these two cores and novels supporting the details, the creativity in solving problems can be described as wonderful. It could reasonably solve the problem of fertilizer and water, and planted potatoes on Mars where there is no grass; in order to reduce the weight, even the hatch cover was not needed, and in order to reach Matt Damon, he blew himself down and slowed down... Let the audience enjoy the optimistic without worry. Great views of Dimon and Mars.



I personally have an obsession with places like "end of the world". In fact, it does not necessarily have to be the most extreme geographically. I have experienced more desolations like the end of the world in Iceland and the Scottish Highlands. Majestic, barren, overcast, it is difficult to find higher life, here is the place farthest away from the hustle and bustle, where you can most feel the power of nature. I love to stand on the edge of the magnificent sea cliff, on the top of the cloud-shrouded highland, in the volcanic glacier like time freezing, thinking about the leisure of the world, and enjoying this boundless desolation and loneliness.

The boundless desolation and loneliness, there should be no place in the world comparable to Mars, it corresponds to the "red twilight desert, the loneliness of a thousand years". Living alone on Mars, with only one GoPro companion all day long, I can’t say much, but I can’t stop myself from closing my eyes and dreaming. However, the extreme of loneliness is still in space. The shot that shocked me the most in "The Martian" is Matt Dimon sitting in a small flight cabin in the open air and flying helplessly on Mars orbit. Looking up is the endless void, surrounded by screw parts flying around, and the foot is a thousand feet. On the far surface of Mars, Matt Damon’s helpless tears must be the most convincing screen tears this year. In contrast, the moment Dimon was rescued, the two and the bright yellow ribbon were flying in space. Although it can be compared to the scene where the heroine poses in the womb in "Gravity", it is the finishing touch, but it is not as desolate and desolate. Loneliness brings me more aftertaste and enjoyment.

    Melissa Lewis: All right team, stay in sight of each other. Let's make NASA proud today.

    Rick Martinez: How's it looking over there, Watney?

    Mark Watney: Well, you will be happy to hear that in Grid Section 14-28, the particles were predominately coarse but in 29, they're much finer and they should be ideal for chem analysis.

    Rick Martinez: Oh, wow. Did everybody hear that? Mark just discovered dirt.

    [laughs]

    Rick Martinez: Should we alert the media?

  • Bruce Ng: Mars' atmosphere is so thin, by the time the ship's going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there's practically no air.

    Vincent Kapoor: You want to send him into space under a tarp?

    Bruce Ng: Yes... Can I go on?

    Vincent Kapoor: [frustrated look] NO.
