Therefore, "Gravity" directed by Alfonso Cuaron is very popular with me. Although the length is limited and the story is simple, it fully expresses the depression of space. So Ridley Scott's "The Martian" made me even more anticipation. After all, living alone on Mars is a terrible thing.
But after watching the movie, I found that the movie is completely different from what I imagined. Instead of the oppression and thrills of "Gravity", it's the optimism and ubiquitous sense of humor throughout. So a script that was supposed to be a space adventure movie became a popcorn space safari. Of course, the author has no intention of favoring one over the other, just out of personal preference, because I always feel that thriller movies can fully reflect the characteristics of space.
Closer to home, what kind of viewing experience will a space hunter have? The first is the weakening of stimulation. Under the guidance of optimism, all the worries of the audience are dispelled by various jokes. In such an atmosphere, the audience will not worry about the fate of the protagonist, because the protagonist will definitely be rescued. So in the end, the motivation for the audience to watch is curiosity, to see how the protagonist is rescued. Although there are certain points to watch, the ending is always spoiled, so it is naturally not as exciting as the unknown plot.
Now that the ending has surfaced, the audience's curiosity alone can't last for more than 2 hours, so the movie has to create some conflict. So the failure of the rocket launch happened exactly, and then when everything seemed to be going well, the collapse of the pressure chamber happened just right. These two clashes create a little trouble for the optimism atmosphere and move the plot forward smoothly.
Yes, the big problems of plot advancement and structure have been easily solved. Lao Lei is familiar with commercial movies and has a good grasp of it. After completing the basic framework, he can freely fill in all kinds of interesting scientific elements, such as popular discussions. Most of the potato planting, signal transmission, etc. basically carried out scientific popularization of complex principles through real-life cases, which made the audience watch it with gusto. At the same time, he ridiculed NASA and the Celestial Dynasty, which made the audience overjoyed, and the popcorn sales also swiped, saying that everyone was happy.
Of course, there are audiences who are entangled in the absence of the protagonist's relatives, but this is a comedy, what is the use of sad tears? Some viewers wonder why not to engage in conspiracy theories to enhance the depth of the movie, but this is a commercial comedy. Can the depth ensure the box office? Some audiences are entangled in various bugs, but this is a movie, why don't you read books and do research... Yes, this is a commercial entertainment movie, why do you need to explain so much? Leave a cute and lonely back on Mars. The emotion of that scene is completely enough. Hello, Lei.
