Robinson Crusoe in Space

Henderson 2022-03-21 09:01:09

Before I watched the movie, what I imagined was the kind of rescue scene that was very intense and exciting after some preparations were made in the front, the kind of landslides and the overwhelming momentum. But I didn’t expect this big scene to come within two minutes of the beginning of the film. The sandstorm on Mars was really terrifying. I was sweating nervously for them. The storm passed quickly and the waves calmed down. Unexpectedly. Then Mark started to save himself, watching him operate on himself, what a tough guy. Then Mark started to count his survival reserves. When he took a potato and said that he had to grow crops to feed himself for several years, I couldn't help but smile, oh, it turns out that this is a space version of Robinson Crusoe Remember. It’s just that Mark’s difficulties are more difficult than Robinson’s. The environment is also more severe. You can only grow crops indoors. You have to carry oxygen when you go out (where is there so much oxygen in the space station?), and the water has to be made by yourself. (Are there really so many ingredients?). Fortunately, Mark is very knowledgeable and seems to know everything, and there are various tools and materials in the space station that seem to be seldom counted but never used up, so Mark and Robinson have succeeded in saving themselves, and the people of the world will help you. cheer!

The Martian quotes

  • [first lines]

    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.
