Praise Science, Acura Life

In this film, I saw fear and courage, desperation and hope. From Mark's lonely struggle to survive to the global rescue operation, I have also seen a person's commitment to life and one's life, as well as his affirmation of the value of life.


Left alone on the barren Mars, the carefully planted potato seedlings died. Mark faced life-threatening dilemmas again and again, and then used science to solve the problems again and again.
The pain when he performed surgery for himself, the helplessness in front of the powerful nature, the fear when facing the vast universe and the imminent death, the optimism when he kept a daily log, and the optimism when he solved every obstacle to self-help. The joy, the courage to persevere and move forward, is just as real and touches us as well.

The love of life kept him alive, the love of his career kept him hopeful, and he still harbored both, even if he ultimately hadn't avoided dying alone on Mars.
His sentence "for something big and beautiful" seems to be an interpretation of the eternal pursuit of human beings, which is the belief shared by many people who have gone forward and died without regrets and regrets.


This film sings praises of perseverance, never surrender, the power of technology, the value of life, and the infinite wisdom, courage and friendship of people in the face of danger.
It is an ode to science and an ode to life.

The Martian quotes

  • Mark Watney: [recording a video message] If the oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the hab breaches, I'll just kind of implode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So, yeah... Yeah...

  • Mark Watney: I've got to make a lot more water. The good thing is, I know the recipe: You take hydrogen, you add oxygen, and you burn. Now, I have hundreds of liters of unused hydrazine at the MDV. If I run the hydrazine over an iridium catalyst, it'll separate into N2 and H2. And then if I just direct the hydrogen into a small area and burn it. Luckily, in the history of humanity, nothing bad has ever happened from lighting hydrogen on fire.
