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."

Gravity quotes

  • Ryan Stone: I know, we're all gonna die. Everybody knows that. But I'm going to die today. Funny that... you know, to know. But the thing is, is that I'm still scared. Really scared. Nobody will mourn for me, no one will pray for my soul. Will you mourn for me? Will you say a prayer for me? Or is it too late... ah, I mean I'd say one for myself but I've never prayed in my life. Nobody ever taught me how... nobody ever taught me how...

  • Ryan Stone: Five. Four. Three. No more just driving. Let's go home.
