Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin broke the human spacewalk time record in August 2013 - 7 hours 29 minutes, different from Neil Alden Armstrong's 2 hours and 30 minutes on the barren lunar surface, here it is Outside the Carmen line, the edge of gravity. In fact, from the very beginning of the film, I believed that it, or any other film about astronautics, could not be separated from the shadow and connection with the space movie epic "Roaming in Space: 2001". "2001" once used a magnificent symphony "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss as the background music for the opening space scene, and at the beginning of the film, Hank Williams Jr. The country music "Angels Are Hard To Find" is accompanied by the radio waves of the silent deep space "sounding through the sky", the same purpose? Worth thinking about. Of course, it is not limited to this. The floating pen, Sandra Bullock's "gestation" pose, too many details pay tribute to Stanley Kubrick and Arthur Clarke, in other words, Clarke embodies the "cosmology" in this book The film also performed very well.
In general, this film does not have the thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere of the similar theme movie "Apollo 18", and even the word "science fiction" appears "powerless" under the very realistic style of shots and plot settings, except for the shocking The 3D effect of the film has only a handful of Hollywood-style selling points, but on the contrary, the film has a lot of metaphors. Personally, this film is about "Gravity" and "life". Human beings desire to soar, and the essence is to get rid of the shackles of gravity. The large number of spacewalking shots at the beginning of this film are direct depictions. And when the disaster happened, the protagonist had only one thought to "return to the ground", which I think can be understood as "the essence and return of life", the landing pod crash scene at the end, and the few scenes where the heroine re-adapted to gravity , but also a kind of sublimation - "the inevitable connection between life and gravity". And the heroine returning from the water to the shore is a vivid metaphor for the evolution of human life, or equivalent to the "decay and new life, the reincarnation of life" symbolized at the end of "2001" - Arthur Clark's obscure The theory of "cosmology". In fact, to explore the vast starry sky is to explore the eternal theme of "life". Falling into the water from space, and then "demonstrating" the evolution of life, where is the origin of life? (Visual explanation of "space origin theory"?). The "safety ropes" that appear in large numbers in the posters and the film are actually underlining the theme of "gravity and life" in this film. Gravity is actually the "umbilical cord" similar to the earth and life. There are actually too many details in this film to study.
After watching the movie, there is another song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie, a vast universe, endless thoughts.
