If you can still see Mr. Lei’s “martyr’s twilight, heart-wrenching” in “Prometheus”, then “Martian Rescue” is a routine commercial mission with little challenge for Mr. Lei, with his masterful control. , As long as a little wrist strength can concoct a high-quality commercial production work. In fact, "The Martian" is such a rigorous and restrained hard science fiction work. Although it is not a masterpiece in the series of Scott's works, such a pure and powerful hard science fiction is only a few years old in today's theaters. rare.
The original novel of "The Martian" is simply a love letter to science. At first glance, it is written by an engineering otaku. The novel spends a lot of space on describing how Martin, a science and engineering man, uses scientific knowledge to survive on Mars and enjoys it. of. Relying on scientific self-reliance in a treacherous environment, and has always maintained an optimistic and enterprising attitude, "The Martian" is a bit of the strength of the 19th century scientific romantic literature (typically represented by Verne). I have no personal interest in this kind of work. Too much resistance. The film's adaptation of the original novel is very successful, with a high degree of restoration and sufficient scientific hardness. In addition, some of the original comedy temperament was eventually retained. An optimistic and enterprising rigorous science fiction story, a compact narrative of moving clouds and flowing water, coupled with a somewhat relaxed comedy embellishment, "The Martian" is a commercial and flowing work, and there is not much to be faulty. The sleek and proficient can make science fiction fans. Rolling all over the floor.
In addition to photography, transitions, narration and other hard indicators, I personally believe that Scott’s veteran control in this film lies in the restraint of the film’s emotions. Some third-rate directors are likely to choose to be wanton and sensational, praising humanity and praising heroism. , The veteran old man Lei generally maintains emotional restraint, so there is no special patterned climax in "The Martian". Even the final rescue of the ending "Gravity" is just an understatement in the style of chronicle, only The sigh of relief from danger, there is no tall heroism, and no further emotional entanglement, everything is enough. It restrains, but it doesn't mean it can't move you.
No show off, no sensationalism, no cowardice, only courage, optimism, rationality and belief in science, full of the spirit of scientific optimism after the Western Geographic Discovery era, such films have good publicity significance for human beings' extraterrestrial exploration , As a clear-cut anti-earth-centered activist, I gave this tough NASA promo praise.
