In many sci-fi films I have watched in the past, human beings are always full of curiosity and fear about the unknown universe. In the process of exploration, there will be unexpected dangers at any time, and the plots are often related to various unknown and dangerous space physical conditions or Space creatures.
The Martian is a different sci-fi movie. The movie generally maintains a very happy comedy tone, deliberately weakening human's fear of the unknown universe and the danger of outer space. The film revolves around a key issue from beginning to end. Mark must try his best to use the existing resources to ensure that he can have food to survive until the rescue arrives, and NASA on Earth must try to speed up the rescue and arrive as soon as possible before Mark's food runs out. Mars.
Around the big issue of eating, Mark started his vegetable growing life on Mars. Fortunately, the background of the film is set to have sufficient oxygen. Fortunately, the Martian soil is said to contain nitrates, and the most fortunate is that the Martian atmosphere contains carbon dioxide, so coupled with the wisdom of Mark, a botanist, potatoes were grown on Mars.
If conditions are sufficient, large-scale planting on Mars, improving the composition of the Martian atmosphere, and transforming Mars into a habitable planet is just around the corner.
On the other hand, a person with knowledge and a good attitude like Mark, even if the environment is changed, he can always make the best use of the existing resources and let himself live; and the incompetent, let alone Mars, It is estimated that it will not survive in any corner of the earth.

From the beginning to the end, Mark has always shown a very optimistic mood, a relaxed tone, and also in the mood to complain about the commander's ancient disco music taste, and make fun of the laws of the earth, Mars belongs to the sea, and he is a pirate captain. But being thrown on Mars by a person and facing the problem of survival, how could he not be alone and afraid? This kind of emotion cannot be concealed. And the film also shows this fragile feeling in addition to the optimism of the male protagonist. Human beings are still social animals after all, and they need friends and communicate with people.

Finally, let's talk about the Helios booster. Although the film is to please the Chinese market, it also shows from the side that the development of our country is strong, which is gratifying.

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?

    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?
