1. The original
author Andy Weir (1972-) is a great code farmer. He was hired by Sandia National Laboratory to write code at the age of 15. It’s "Warcraft 2"... At first he wrote Martian just for fun, and posted it on his blog without any charge. Later, some readers asked him to make a kindle version for easy downloading and reading, and he put it on Amazon.com , Charged at a minimum of 99 cents. This is his first novel published.
Andy Weir is fascinated by space, but he never dared to take a plane...so he couldn't go to the set in person when making a movie. The novel is very rigorous in science, and WSJ commented that it reads like a survival guide.
While creating, he kept thinking up various dilemmas, and then came up with solutions for the protagonist. But he found that if the oxygen generator, water circulation system, and isotope power generation "heater" were broken, the male protagonist had no way to solve it, and it would hang.
In the film, the male protagonist had an explosion while making water for the potato greenhouse. He explained that he did not consider the oxygen he exhaled. In the novel, the male protagonist is wearing a space suit to do experiments. The space suit provides him with oxygen and at the same time expels the exhaust gas he exhales. There is a little oxygen in the exhaust gas. He went more often, and the oxygen accumulated to a certain amount, which caused an explosion.
In the novel, the male protagonist is a joke. When he contacted his teammates on the spacecraft on Mars, he urged the Winter Soldier to confess to the female programmer and said that the other joke astronaut Martinez was his BFF.
In the novel, the male protagonist's last journey-on the way to the Schiaparelli crater, experienced many difficulties not in the movie, such as sandstorms hindering charging, and he also damaged Pathfinder, unable to obtain information from the earth, etc., the male protagonist almost died on the way Lose. The movie didn't show it (sure enough, it is a joyous direction).
At the end of the novel, there is no plot to return to the earth in the movie, but the rescue ends successfully.
In an interview, Andy Weir thought it might be Aaron Paul (Mars is Biatch!), a fan in "Breaking Bad", or Chris Evans from the American team. But the director Ridley Scott thought that after reading the script, the protagonist should be Matt's cuteness, otherwise he would not lead.
2. The
average temperature on the Martian surface of Mars is minus 63 degrees Celsius, and that of the Earth is 14 degrees Celsius. So in the real environment, a heavier spacesuit is needed.
Mars has 687 days a year, but a day on Mars is similar to that on Earth, 24 hours and 37 minutes. The English "Sol N" for the sun day that appears constantly in the film, Sol is the Latin word for the sun.
The gravity of Mars is 38% of that of the earth. The astronauts walking on Mars should be lighter than in the film. This is why he was able to remove the heavy top cover and other devices in the end. Under this gravity, astronauts will slowly become loose muscles and osteoporosis. This is also the reason why the male protagonist broke two ribs when he was finally rescued, and he was so cute and thin in the second half, with red subcutaneous bleeding marks on his back. This is also the long-term lack of vitamins and minerals on Mars. Caused.
The surface pressure on Mars is very low, about 0.6% of that of the Earth. So it is unlikely to have such a big storm. But the spacesuit mentioned in the opening movie can last for one minute after it is damaged, which is possible on Mars. Because the pressure is very low, the human body will not explode after damage, at most, loss of consciousness, subcutaneous bleeding, etc.
Phobos: In the original novel, the male protagonist Duanmei uses Phobos, the "moon" on Mars, to determine the direction. Because he has neither GPS nor a compass on Mars (Mars has no magnetic field). This is not mentioned in the movie. Phobos is one of the two satellites of Mars. On November 9, 2011, China's first Mars probe "Firefly One" was launched bundled with the Russian "Phobos" probe, but the launch failed.
There are no bacteria on Mars, so even if you are pierced through your abdomen, you don't take antibiotics (but you may carry bacteria from the earth on your underwear).
Looking at the sun on Mars is half smaller than looking at the earth. It is thought that Mars is farther from the sun, 1.52 AU (AU is the astronomical unit, that is, the average distance between the sun and the earth, about 149.6 million kilometers). The afterglow is also weaker at sunset.
3. Technology
NASA provides a lot of consultation during the film production process, and NASA never collects money because it is a government-supported agency. The Mars landing mission in the film is very close to NASA's future plans in reality, including the next launch of the Orion spacecraft (Orion) appearing on the cover of the draft movie script. The real Orion constellation appears in the film constantly, almost as long as the space shots have it.
In reality, NASA does make a copy of each spacecraft, in case there are any problems after launch, it can be simulated on the copy.
The rocket technology in the film comes from the real Ad Astra Rocket Company, which was founded by former NASA astronaut Franklin Chang-Diaz. He has a quarter of Chinese ancestry.
4. The filming location
was filmed at Wadi Rum, a famous spot in Jordan, which is also known as the Rose Desert. Wadi Rum means red desert in Arabic; it is also called Moon Valley, because Quiet like the surface of the moon, it is considered the most lunar-like place on the earth. It used to be the location for movies such as "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) and "Red Planet" (2000). On this basis, it is made with CG.
The gate of NASA and the China National Space Administration in the play were all shot in a group of buildings outside Budapest, Hungary. The two floors are very close, with only 3 stations. In fact, it is the location of many movies, because there are various styles of architecture, Gothic, Baroque, former Soviet Union, ancient Roman ruins.
5. Greek mythology
This voyage mission is called Ares 3 (Ares 3), the god of war is called Ares in Greek mythology, and Mars (Mars) in Roman mythology.
The spacecraft that the astronaut rides is called Hermes (Hermes), he is the most faithful messenger of Zeus in Greek mythology, and he is also regarded as the patron saint of travelers. The Chinese booster is named Taiyangshen (the sun god). In Greek mythology, the sun god is Apollo. The name Apollo was also used by the United States for its moon landing plan in the 1960s.
The Latin version of the hero's character name "Mark" is "Marcus", which also means Mars.
6. The
male lead in the master's original work is actually a double master's degree: botany and mechanical engineering. This also explains why he was able to tinker with his own hands for another year. After the movie is not only no mention of a degree, Master of botany also upgraded to a doctor (like Sheldon as you look down on Howard ......)
7. plutonium
male host dug heating device called "radioisotope thermoelectric generator" ( Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator), the radioactive element plutonium 238 inside generates heat when it decays, which can be converted into electrical energy.
8. Alien
male astronaut Winter Soldier Bucky prepares to place explosives, female astronaut programmer said half of "In space..." before kissing him. The full version comes from another alien movie "Alien" by director Ridley Scott (1979): "In space, no one can hear you scream. (In space, no one can hear you scream.)"
9. Prometheus
Ridley Scott immediately agreed to take the film after reading the script, and even put it down. Prometheus 2" again. But there are many shadows of "Prometheus" in the movie: the yellow-lit spacesuit, the stapler that stitches the wound on the pony.
10.
Sean Bean, the king of the Elrond conference lunch box, not only participated in the "Project Elrond" in the film that intends to use the spacecraft to rescue the soldiers, but also participated in the real Elrond conference (he played Boromir in the Lord of the Rings 1).
In the film, NASA's top director wanted to change Elrond to "Glorfindel." Glorfindel, like Elrond, is also an elven nobleman in the Lord of the Rings, but he has few appearances.
In the film, the role of Lieutenant Colonel Lewis played by the model worker sister was originally invited to play the role of Elf Queen Cate Blanchett. She and the director had previously collaborated in "Robin Hood" (2010). Unfortunately, it was also due to schedule conflicts.
11. In Pi's fantasy drifting
film, he persists in saving the cute black NASA executive Vincent Kapoor. The original candidate is the Pi adult actor Irrfan Khan of "Young Pi's Fantasy Drift". But it is a pity that his Bollywood schedule cannot be opened (otherwise, Pi, who successfully escaped from the sea, helped Daimeng escape from Mars).
In the original work, female programmer astronaut Beth revealed that if the replenishment plan fails, the others plan to commit suicide and leave the food and their own bodies (!) to the smallest size of her... Later, the replenishment succeeded and forced the astronaut Martine to eat. I also asked the female coders, if they start to eat, whose body should be eaten first?
12.
The antenna of the Hermes spacecraft in 2001 is the same as the important AE-35 antenna on the Discovery spacecraft in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
13. The CNN
reporter responsible for the live broadcast of the Mars rescue at the end of the film is really a CNN reporter based in Berlin, Frederik Pleitgen.
14.
In addition to Marvel's silly ending mentioned like Iron Man Flying, many actors in the play have performed in the Marvel series: The Winter Soldier, "Fantastic Four", the invisible girl, "Ant-Man" teasing good inmates, and celestial bodies. Mechanics kid Rich voiced the successor of Peter Parker in the animated version of "Ultimate Spider-Man", and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who played Vincent, will also appear as the villain in the volume of "Doctor Strange".
Rich, the celestial mechanic who saved the soldier, fell over after telling the boss that I want coffee. This is the actor who really fell, but he got up immediately after the fall and proceeded to act, so this shot was adopted.
15. After Disco
succeeded in relying on the decay of radioactive elements for heating, the male protagonist immediately played a Disco: 1980 hot single "Hot Stuff", from Donna Summer.
The 1979 disco track "I Will Survive" played at the end of the film, by singer Gloria Gaynor. Not only is the title of the song I will survive the theme of the movie, but also because it has the lyrics "And so you're back from outer space".
16. The climax sister Kristen Wiig
may be a joyous one, so many comedians appeared in the film, including the role of sister Wiig who is in charge of NASA media relations. She said she felt scared when shooting this film...
17. In the national flag
film, at NASA's press conference, the American flag was on the left side of the speaker and the NASA flag was on his right. This actually violates the provisions of the United States Code and Federal Regulations: When the speaker faces the audience, the American flag must be placed on the right side of the speaker.
18. Thanksgiving.
This mission started on November 8, 2035. The hero was accidentally left on Mars on the 18th solar day (Sol 18), which is November 25, 2035. The film was released in China on November 25th! (October 2 in the United States) The
protagonist discovered the life-saving potatoes that "can only be opened on Thanksgiving" at the beginning, but Thanksgiving that year was November 22...Of course, everyone did not open the potatoes on time. , Complete a team building task assigned by NASA: make potatoes...
