Sunshine

Curled up on the chair, leaving almost no space between the limbs, I maintained this position for 100 minutes, and finished reading "The Cataclysm of the Sun" copied from a friend.

I've seen a lot of disaster movies. "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012", "Rescue at the Center of the Earth", "Independence Day"...

The film's conception does not have much new ideas, and the plot does not stand up to scrutiny.

But I still clearly remember the uninterrupted turmoil in my heart during the whole viewing process, the violent blows on the apex of my heart, the golden blurred outline of the sun that brightened my eyes again and again and the dazzling dreamy light that burst out.

When my friends and I were queuing up in the Expo Park and it was extremely boring and decadent, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and started telling my friends about the movie vividly.


Perhaps it is the "sun complex" that I have always had that deepens my love for this movie.

Granted, I've always been madly obsessed with "The Sun." Always on sunny days, I will unconsciously open the window of my heart, let my mood dry in the sun, and make my mood as bright and cheerful as the sun.

The sun in the film has two completely different faces -

in the incomplete light, the sun has a golden soft outline, like a golden dream, fulfilling your beauty. This is the reason why Cyril, the psychiatrist on Icarus 2, often stares at the sun in the observation room, showing incomparable greed. Because, so am I.

Just as man has both an angelic side and a devilish side. When life is exposed to the full light, the horn of death blows instantly. In the ashes, it really exists, and it exists so straightforwardly and simply.


The deep-rooted "hero complex" may also be part of the reason I fell in love with this film.

To say "heroes", except for the navigator Trey, the communication commander Harvey, and the only villain Icarus 1's ghost-like captain, everyone else in the film can be positioned as "heroes".


Finally, take a look at the three scenes in the film that made me unforgettable -

1. Cyril was extremely hungry, his eyes set on fire, and he asked the captain, who was about to die after being exposed to the full light, over and over again, "What did you see?".

2. When Harvey, who was at -273°C, tore off the thermal insulation film wrapped around his body, his panic was truly and profoundly sealed in the vast universe along with his death. The frozen body shattered tragically and heroically the moment it hit the metal shell.

3. After the botanist was killed, in a monastic posture - cross-legged, hands folded, palms facing up. In the palm of her hand is the baby that made her so happy before her death - a small green seedling standing proudly on the ash heap.


As the so-called "radish and vegetables have their own love". For such a film with mixed reviews, I think only those who have seen it have a say. Whether it is love or hate, it starts from the heart, there is no absolute wrong, and there is no absolute right.

I think I will still recall this movie vividly and profoundly at some point and moment, and then obsessively recommend this movie to my friends around me.
