Martian

In the vast universe, Mars is like a tiny dust, and long blooms stand alone. Being forgotten is lonely, and being isolated from the world is even more lonely. Waiting for rescue, everything is unknown, a fear of life and death. If you don't want to be coerced and oppressed by the outside world, then you must take the initiative to control your life. Martian rescue, a self-rescue for the lonely.
The film unfolded between self-help and being rescued. At the moment when the hatch exploded, the fear of life and death knocked back the hope pinned on potatoes. Damon's back felt like a picture in the vast red and yellow sand, and he was so lonely that he didn't want to walk around. So that the scene of taking off to the reunion, the complicated tears are very distracting. A lot of comedy elements have been added, from disco music to cute self-entertainment.
The script is solid, rigorous in production, tight in rhythm, not sensational or hypocritical, and still has tears several times. It can be said to be a textbook!

    I like matt damon, but I can't give it five stars if I hate kate mara... Science is strong, biology is strong, strong and happy ending. I can't give five stars...

    Director Ridley Scott is very familiar with this Martian adventure theme. The comedy temperament provided by the original book has also been well maintained. But this feeling of fluency and proficiency made me a little bit dissatisfied--although it was a bit hypocritical.

The Martian quotes

  • Vincent Kapoor: [Reading and citing from the panels that Mark put in front of the camera of the Pathfinder Mars robot] "'Are you receiving me? Yes - no.'

    [to Tim]

    Vincent Kapoor: OK, point the camera at 'yes'."

    Tim Grimes: 32-minute round trip communications time, all he can do is yes/no questions and all we can do is point the camera. This won't exactly be an Algonquin round table of snappy repartee.

  • Melissa Lewis: [from deleted scene] Where have you been sleeping?

    Rick Martinez: In airlock 2.

    Beth JohanssenChris BeckAlex Vogel: WHAT!

    Rick Martinez: It's the only place where I can sleep without anyone tripping me, so.

    Alex Vogel: Do you understand how dangerous that is? If one seal breaks you die.

    Melissa Lewis: From now on you'll sleep in Beck's room.

    Chris Beck: Where am I going to sleep?

    Melissa Lewis: With Johanssen.

    Chris Beck: Um, uh.

    [chuckles]

    Chris Beck: [Johanssen looks surprised]

    Melissa Lewis: Knock it off Beck. It's a small ship I know everything.

    Beth Johanssen: Are you mad?

    Melissa Lewis: If this was a normal mission you'd be breaking about thirty rules. But this isn't a normal mission.

    Rick Martinez: And a few world records too.. WHAT'S UP!

    [Shakes Beck's and Johanssen's hands]

    Rick Martinez: Your gonna leave me hanging? You're going to leave me hanging? Getting down in space?
