How to evaluate
First of all, it is an excellent space disaster film, with perfect visual effects and sound effects. The main line of the plot is also mixed with the family routine formatted by Hollywood disaster films, that is, after the disaster, the protagonist solves the family problem that has plagued him for a long time. (Is it true for
Applied to this film, the heroine is relieved of the pain of bereavement after experiencing the baptism of space drifting. The characters have grown, and the film has risen to a humanistic level. It should be said that the task of a commercial type film has been well completed. However, director Alfonso Cuaron does not seem to be satisfied with this level.
From the geocentric theory to the heliocentric theory, our understanding of ourselves has changed from the genius of the universe at the center of the universe to an inconspicuous speck of dust in the big box of the universe. Then came the Industrial Revolution, the explosion of technology. We walked out of the earth for the first time, we sent radio waves into the depths of the universe to indicate our existence, our telescopes captured the few rays of radiation when the universe was born, our ambition to conquer the universe is expanding, and our sense of awe for it is growing. few. But the fact is that in the unpredictable universe, human beings are just a fragile reed. There is an unknown universe hidden everywhere, a dangerous river with turbulent waves, which can instantly swirl into the whirlpool of human beings diving in and trying to explore its mysteries.
The universe is cold. "LIFE IN SPACE IS IMPOSSIBLE." This is what the director told us with subtitles at the beginning of the film.
By consulting the script of this film, I found that "home" appears many times in the film's lines.
The first time Matt asks where Ryan's house is on his way to the International Space Station.
The second time is when the heroine is hallucinating in the unpowered ISS escape pod, and Matt tells him softly: "it's time to go home." The
last time is what she said to herself before jumping from the escape pod to "shenzhou" : "no more just driving, let's go home."
In fact, it is not difficult to see that "home" refers to the earth, and with Ryan's fetus-like footage, we can guess that "home" is a metaphor for returning to the mother's body. The heroine finally escaped the sinister cosmic space. After she returned to the earth, she lay on the ground and thanked her softly. She felt like a child who had experienced the hardships of the outside world and returned home to embrace her mother warmly.
Yes, there's dirty dirt, disgusting frogs, muddy lakes, and slimy water plants, but anyway, this is our home, and she's our mom.
[There is a small easter egg at the end of the subtitle, which is a short line of gracias mamá, which is Spanish, meaning: thank you mom]
