According to the screenwriter of this film, "Technology serves the story." So let's look at the story first - it's not about cosmic disasters, otherwise there will be scenes at NASA headquarters; it's not about cosmic adventures, otherwise there will be Brock training or The scene of returning to Earth to receive the award; nor is it about celebrating Earth as the home of mankind, otherwise there would be a classic picture of the entire Earth.
It's about survival, about the only way to survive - LET GO, FOCUS NOW.
When telling such a grand theme, about every ordinary person, about the most common and most overlooked problem of all mankind, let's take a look at how the screenwriter handles it as a life story.

LET GO AND FOCUS NOW.
The film revolves around both the survival process and Bullock's heart - her heart is the soul of the whole story.
Every minute of the script can push the drama to the limit, because the despair in the human heart and the desire to survive are so evenly matched.
Those who criticize the thin story are because they brought their expectations from other space movies to this work. They have seen more and more meaningful characters, more close crises, and more wonderful rescues. They forgot to calm down. Come and listen - "Gravity" is not about astronauts, but about everyone's story, everyone who survives - how we can better survive for ourselves and for others.
"Rebirth" is actually the same as "coming home", because where we can feel "live", we can feel "home". I remember a saying that said "We don't become better or worse, we become more and more like ourselves." In the arms of "self" - I, is the last home.
And Gravity is our deep desire to go home.
Less is more, and I don't know how a subject like this can be written better with such a subject. "The form of this film is the story of this film." (Pacific Rim director)
Looking back, this is a very precise and complete script, and there are several questions:
How did the relationship between MATT and RYAN pave the way?
What is the difference between the characters of the two?
Why did MATT ask about RYAN's family affairs at that time, and what were the foreshadowings before?
What is the role of the others in the whole script except for the two main characters?
Why is RYAN a daughter, not a son?
When RYAN mentioned his daughter, why did he say that he found her red shoes, and mentioned that his daughter was worried about the shoes?
Why arrange for a scene with Eskimo dialogue?
Why do the Eskimos have a dog, and then the cry of the child at the end?
How many stalks MATT has said, blue eyes, Volga, record breaking, favorite girl, etc. Are these all rounded up?
MATT's words in RYAN's dream are so similar to the last words of JACK and ROSE on the Titanic, 囧, why?
AMAZING SUNRISE is the last sentence before MATT floats away. Where is the foreshadowing?
GO HOME is the last sentence MATT said to RYAN in his dream. Where is the foreshadowing ahead?
Which detail did RYAN say that explained her inner numbness and boredom?
Where did RYAN say about his failure in practice, how many times did he say it?
How much space does RYAN's role in the United Terminal account for, and what does this proportion indicate?
For the first time, RYAN said her fear "But the thing is, it's that I'm
still scared", what did she express?
What words did RYAN use when he spoke about his daughter for the first time and the last time?
RYAN's last line "I have one hell of a story to tell, or I burn up in the next ten minutes. Either way, whichever way... no harm, no foul! Because
either way... it'll be one hell of a ride. I'm ready." How did she overcome her fear?
The classic question, why did the frog swim by?
How many times did MATT say it during the whole process ? LET GO and FOCUS?
Finally, what else needs to be added to such a script? People who have never written a script do not know, and every word is crying.
Finally, I will give you my favorite line in it -
MATT
You should see the sun on the Ganges.
(exhales sharply)
It's amazing. Careful
children's shoes can find the script to read, I believe you will learn more!
