Robinson Crusoe on Mars

"The Martian" is a great movie, and can probably be seen as a modern + sci-fi version of "Robinson Crusoe" on Mars.

The story is about a NASA botanist astronaut who was left on Mars because of an accident. Everyone thought he was going to die, but he miraculously survived and relied on his own scientific knowledge, including using his own feces. Planting potatoes on Mars, etc., has been stubbornly surviving, and finally waited for his partner to come back to greet him and return to Earth.

Probably because my tears were too low and too easily moved, I kept laughing and crying while watching the movie. This should be a lonely, desolate and desperate story. In fact, the movie tells it very beautifully and humorously. The male protagonist is always very optimistic and open-minded. Even if he encounters major setbacks and faces life and death, he never gives up in despair. pass. Perhaps only such a person can have the opportunity to survive a desperate situation.

A tribute to "Dedication to a Great and Magnificent Cause".

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.
