Bringing the famous work of science fiction writer Andy Weir to the screen, and getting the full support of NASA to shoot... "The Martian" has laid the tone of its realistic science fiction movie from the very beginning. Compared with the earlier ambitious "Interstellar", it is more pragmatic and low-key. Instead of spending too much pen and ink on esoteric issues such as human nature and soul, but with unique American humor, he tells the story of an astronaut surviving in the wilderness of Mars.
This time, Matt Damon unloaded the heavy burden of thinking in the "The Bourne Shadow" series and turned into a cute botanist. "Fortunately" he was left on Mars by a storm, and has since gained A great opportunity to showcase what he has learned throughout his life. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to grow potatoes on Mars, does he?
"The Martian" uses many scientific theories including biology, chemistry, astrophysics, engineering, mathematics..., it is really not a simple technical task. All kinds of scientific knowledge involved in the film have been heard more or less, but it has to take root in reality and make the audience believe in their own eyes. This is the beauty of this film. When Matt Damon is wearing a spacesuit and sitting alone on the tires of a space exploration vehicle with solar panels being "charging" next to him, you will feel that the scene is so real, as if it was just transferred from the desolate western United States to Mars. That's it. The most interesting thing is to use the camera to swing to achieve hexadecimal transmission. The brains are really big, and the liberal arts students like me lament the greatness of science! What can become impossible is possible!
Director Ridley Scott said: "Whether it's a commercial or a film as a director, whether it's a Shakespearean drama on stage or a commercial blockbuster, the key question is whether you can achieve in-depth communication with the audience. If you don't do this, you will It’s boring.” Although it’s not perfect, in many American space science fiction movies, "The Martian" still has its advantages-with a simple and vivid scientific interpretation, and an overall dull but full of jokes. , Discussed a topic about "survival on Mars" with the audience, which will let you spend two hours in the theater easily without feeling bored! It would be great if we could take physics classes like this when we were young.
