Watch the movie “The Martian”[blog158]

Was I in elementary school? I remember wearing a space suit at an event at one of the Takashimaya stores in Gunma Prefecture.

I forget the name of the event, but I remember that my parents misunderstood the date of the event and arrived just before it ended.

I was staring at the space suit as it was being put on display.

Near the end of the exhibit, “I looked at the spacesuit and the spacesuit looked at me”.

“Do you want me to try it on?” I heard an unexpected word!

I remember nodding and nodding reflexively without thinking.

My first impression when I put it on was “it’s lighter than I expected” and “it’s stiff but I can move normally”.

I don’t remember the details, like how the fingers were moving, but it was like that.

Now that I think about it, it was a tremendously valuable experience.

After all this time, “thank you.”

Impressions( The Image and The Martian of Science Fiction Films)

When it comes to science fiction movies set in space, the one that comes to everyone’s mind is George Lucas’ Star Wars.

And Steven Spielberg’s “E.T.,” I think.

As a result, the images that the general public associates with science fiction movies are sometimes “space wars and UFO.

But this sci-fi movie “The Martian” is set on Mars in 2035.

No space wars or UFOs of any kind.

What there is is the Mars of 2023, an extension of modern science.

It is a science fiction film, based on scientific knowledge obtained from NASA, with outstanding realism.

The fun of weightlessness, the fear of being in a vacuum with no air, and the sense of an endlessly distant earth feel familiar.

I think it is because it is set in the near future and can be easily imagined.

Impressions(Mars Survival)

The story can be summed up in one word: “Mars Survival”.

Survival is Mars, so if you want water, like on Earth, you can dig and look for it, but you will almost never find it (in fact, water exists on Mars).

Of course, we have to make sure we have food.

It is estimated by modern science that it would take 6 to 9 months to reach Mars from Earth by spacecraft.

We also have to consider the amount of food we’ll be eating during that time.

The astronaut protagonist will tell us about his real-life experiences, as well as the answers to these questions.

The situation was like, “I see!” and “I don’t understand why I have to think that far! ” The way they do it stirs the viewer’s surprise and curiosity.

Impressions (The protagonist’s state of mind)

Of course, survival life on Mars will affect the protagonist’s state of mind.

When the protagonist is first placed in a survival situation, he calmly analyzes the situation and takes action without going crazy.

This may be a result of his training as an astronaut to cope with any situation.

Eventually, as you become accustomed to living in a survival situation, you will be able to entertain yourself and pass the time.

Personally, I believe that “people are creatures who always start playing when they have too much time on their hands “.

And if you spend a lot of time in a survivalist lifestyle, you will stop shaving.

The sloppiness will start to show, and I probably won’t even shower….

These are all depicted as human activities in survival life on Mars.

Even if you take advantage of the facilities made of the most advanced science and technology in Mars survival life, what people do may be the same in the end.

In a sense, it can be interpreted as an amazing feat of flexibility and adaptability, which is a human ability.

A good science fiction film depicts the development of science and technology as well as life and the social environment in which it takes place.

From this perspective, this sci-fi film “The Martian” is very well portrayed.

At the end

The science fiction film “The Martian” also shows the structure and equipment inside and outside the spacecraft in a way that is easy to understand, and the astronauts who use it move with familiarity.

It’s like a real space trip.

In recent years, there seem to be fewer and fewer science fiction films and animations that are well made from a scientific point of view.

When we are talking about the far future, it seems beyond science fiction to fantasy.

However, if we are talking about the near future, the ambiguity of the science fiction setting can be seen through today’s instant scientific knowledge available on the Internet.

They may be very hard to make.

However, I hope that those who love science fiction will boldly take up the challenge and make it.
