When a friend recommended me to watch "Space Rescue", they told me in advance that it was a film based on real events, not a space-themed sci-fi film in the traditional sense. I thought it was amazing. I had a simple understanding of the background of the story. I thought that knowing the result would not be much touched, but when I actually watched the movie, I was still moved by the realistic special effects scenes and the tense rescue link.
It's hard to imagine the emotions I'd feel if I was in space, isolated and helpless, facing an impossible task. Will it be desperate? Maybe, at least feel depressed. But the two great and brave astronauts in the film, Vladimir and Victor, did not choose to give up. They created miracles in human history in a sturdy way.
This is a movie that is very suitable for children to watch. It is like a more vivid popular science book on space knowledge, such as how to walk in a vacuum state, the reasons for weightlessness, space suits, extravehicular space suits, etc. They can also see for themselves how astronauts drink. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it may be hard to imagine that Vladimir squeezes a granule of wine like toothpaste, and Victor sucks it into his mouth. In addition, it also conveys enough characters and various emotional relationships.
I admire the restraint and restraint with which the director handles various emotions.
1. Compassion among colleagues.
After Vladimir was forcibly retired, the high-speed rotation space station lost contact with the earth due to an accident. The scene of boating and fishing is a good foreshadowing. Victor, a good friend in his life, was ordered to go to space to complete the restoration of the space station. The two clearly broke up, but when Victor was asked who he needed as a partner, he chose Vladimir without hesitation. Because he knew how much his best friend missed space. If you're in doubt about this, you probably missed the detail of Vladimir dropping the cup from upstairs.
After going through space docking and cleaning up the water droplets in the capsule, they ushered in a new disaster - a fire in the space station. At that time, Vladimir was checking the damage of the space station outside the cabin and realized the dangerous situation of his teammates. Afterwards, instead of retreating, he acted like a lone hero desperate to save himself Victor, who was unfortunately burned.
At this time, Victor had hallucinations, and the two had differences and quarreled. When I felt sorry for the selfishness of human nature, I was awakened by the reversal behind.
The whole film ushered in an emotional climax: the space station that is unable to return will face the fate of being bombed, and only one astronaut can return to Earth alive. In space, Victor disagreed with this decision. He said something that moved me the most: "If I go back alone, how should I face my child's eyes? How should I face your child's eyes?" On Earth, Their boss, the fat middle-aged man, raised his chair like an angry lion and smashed the glass in the room. He was angry at his own powerlessness and at the fact that the best decision was to sacrifice one of his subordinates. This made me feel a kind of friendship.
Such emotional details can be told in detail to children, and a good movie is sometimes easier to impress children than a good book.
2. The challenge of the brave, do not abandon, do not give up.
This is a typical adventure of a fighting nation. The image of Vladimir is particularly three-dimensional, impulsive but not lacking in experience, courage, likes to take risks, and does not listen to the command to dock the space station. After the first docking failure, he did not lose, but quickly adjusted his state and completed the task unexpectedly. He's also drinking vodka in space and teasing that there are no patrolmen around. Vladimir is one of those kind of prickly, but trustworthy comrades-in-arms. And Victor is also a partner full of responsibility and mission.
I have to sigh, in 1985, when the aerospace technology was so rough, how courageous and determined the two people completed such a shocking challenge. In the film, two people walked outside the space station in order to adjust the solar wing of the space station, one person knocked off the external sensor with a hammer, and one person took protective measures.
A dull knock, one after another. When almost everyone gave up, Vladimir was still hammering hammer after hammer. No one thought that the task of saving the space station was completed with the help of a hammer. In the end, when the American spacecraft appeared, there was a deep sense of mission when they looked at each other and saluted each other.
After watching the movie, I suddenly remembered a small thing for some reason. Some time ago, during Christmas, a friend of a friend took her daughter to the mall. The daughter, who just turned three, rushed to the uncle dressed as Santa in the middle of the mall, and said, "Thank you for the new toy you gave me." Everyone around laughed, but no one told the little girl the truth.
The new toys are of course prepared by the children's parents, but they want their children to believe that there is a Santa Claus in this world, at least at an age they can believe, and have such childish and happy memories.
And like I mentioned earlier, the reason Vladimir was forcibly retired was because he saw "angels" in space, and the director used a softer green light to express it. In the real history, 6 astronauts saw the humanoid soft light, and at the moment of witnessing, the whole person felt soothing and peaceful. We can't explain this supernatural phenomenon, but we can keep the goodness in our hearts.
And I am thankful for the movie, for conveying this kindness to more people.
