The Edge of Gravity (Written on October 5, 2013)

Many films and novels have discussed the topic of "loneliness" in life, but I didn't expect to discuss this topic in space, and it felt so shocking.

Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a medical engineer sent into space to work with astronauts like Matt Kowalski (George Clooney). During a mission, they unfortunately encounter an accident and the spacecraft is severely damaged; Ryan and Matt drift in space, trying to find a way to get back to Earth...

[Gravity] (Gravity) ostensibly is a science fiction movie , but if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is similar to the pattern of ordinary disaster films. Having said that, the space stage is always more attractive than shipwrecks and fires. The extra-large screen of the IMAX theater made Li feel as if he was in the boundless dance space with the protagonist, and there was an indescribable loneliness.

In addition to the atmosphere created by the film, Sandra Bullock's performance really made the Liji Festival appreciate. Ninety minutes of space adventure, Li sees how she went from being a mother in [The Blind Side], back to being a fearless girl in [Speed], and finally [Secret Love You] The innocent little girl in (While You Were Sleeping); the twist in it is more exciting than a space odyssey!

(Spoiler) The movie is titled Gravity, which should be related to Ryan's encounter. Ryan in the film lost the focus of his life after losing his daughter, and lived like a walking dead every day. A space disaster made her understand that there are always people and things in life that you cannot hold on to; only by learning how to let go can you get back on the road and be a down-to-earth person. Li liked the ending of the story very much, and the joy of life that Sandra Bullock radiated from her body and mind moved Li's heart 100%. If someone asked Li now, "Why do you live?" Li would probably answer:

"For the sake of your family, for yourself... Also, it's really good to live."

    The effects are really good. But the hollow narrative of Hollywood heroism still exists, and even if it is replaced by a heroine, it is still crying and crying pseudo-heroes who need a man to push them.

    The US space shuttle was destroyed, the International Space Station was destroyed, and the Russian spacecraft was destroyed. Only the heavenly palace is the kingly way! And the quality is nothing to say, safe to send you back to the earth!
