Synopsis

At the US space station, when a male astronaut Matt Kowalsky and a female colleague Ryan Stone out of the cabin repairing the telescope, the debris of the satellite explosion hit the space station, except for the two people who left the cabin, all others were killed. After that, the two people floating in outer space without gravity have to try to return to the earth, and they have suffered a lot. Matt sacrificed himself for Ryan and let Ryan board an abandoned Russian space station, and wanted to borrow money to get closer to China's Tiangong-1. During the various failures, Ryan almost desperately committed suicide, but with the illusion of seeing Matt before her death, she cheered up and found a way to board the Tiangong No. 1 and eventually returned to Earth.

Behind the scenes

It is said that 60% of the film will be produced using CGI technology, and there will be a 20-minute opening of the film, the use of computer effects is comparable to "Avatar."

"Geo-gravity" was written by the director Alfonso Caron and his son Jonas Caron, telling the story of a male astronaut working on the Earth Station and a female astronaut taking out a walk test. The story of an explosion. Because all the other peers have lost their lives, there are very few "closed space" movie characters in the space field. Almost only these two stars will face the innocence of the universe and the loneliness of human beings. This also means the hero and heroine. The acting of George Clooney and Sandra Bullock will face a great test.

Before Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Rachel Vichy, Kerry Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, Scarlett Johansson I was considered to have appeared in this film.

· "Gravity" premiered at the Venice Film Festival in Italy on August 28, 2019. This is the first 3D film to be selected for the opening of the film festival.

· Film director Caron and his son have been preparing for the film since the 2006 "The Son of Man", and the original candidate for the actor is Robert Downey Jr.

In the film, astronaut Ryan, played by Sandra Bullock, finally boarded China's Tiangong-1 and eventually returned to Earth.

"Gravity" tells the story of the astronauts working in the space station, Matt Kołoski, and the aviation novice Ryan Stone. When the spacecraft was out of the cabin, the spacecraft and the space station exploded, and the two were killed. The story of returning to Earth with oxygen, weightlessness, and loss of contact with the outside world.

If the sci-fi films such as "The Moon" are filled with a cold and frozen atmosphere from beginning to end, the climax relies on the shock of the audience in the last few minutes of the truth. The plot of "Gravity" is compact and relies on the crisis. With the solution to promote the development of the plot, in addition to a little longer at the beginning of the opening, the 90-minute story is basically no lurking lens.

Alfonso's theme is aimed at the hard sci-fi of space, and the lens is realistic and realistic. Whether it is the state action performance of the astronauts under weightlessness, or the fragments of the space after the explosion of the space station are accurate and credible. The visual effects of special effects based on CGI technology are also perfect. Standing in outer space to watch the Earth's sunrise, tens of thousands of feet of high-altitude overlooking the whole picture of the earth, the scene can not be said.

George Clooney makes soy sauce to save Sandra Bullock

Although George Clooney joined, in fact, Gravity is a movie about how life is saved. Although Sandra Bullock faced only one proposition back to Earth in the film, she was saved three times from beginning to end.

The first time was shortly after the accident, Sandra gradually fell into a state of lack of willpower due to lack of oxygen. George Clooney kept her talking to her in order to keep her awake, inspiring Sandra’s desire to win. And eventually helped her climb into the Russian aircraft and saved her from the edge of deoxygenation.

The second rescue took place during the process of Sandra Bullock driving the Russian spacecraft to find the Chinese space station. Because it was a novice, Sandra, who did not understand the operation of the aircraft, once wanted to give up his life. "I have tried various methods." "Impossible, there will always be a way." Perhaps more fearful than darkness is despair and loneliness. In "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth", Ang Lee gave a tiger. In Gravity, Alfonso gave a illusion of George Clooney to Sandra, who lost his desire to survive.

The third rescue was done by Sandra himself. Finally, she saw that she successfully boarded the Chinese Shenzhou. When she returned to the ground with a Chinese-made aircraft, she was so excited that China was connected to the world! But it was happier. Of course, Sandra’s role has completed the transition from waiting for salvation to self-redemption.

At the end of the film, after seeing Sandra Bullock climbing ashore and re-finding gravity, the way he walked on the mud because he didn't adapt, like a child who just walked, this is her new life.

In addition to saving and survival, director Alfonso also said at the press conference that the final shot of the film is also intended to remind the audience to learn to cherish everything we take for granted. Looking back, since 1961, when humans first entered outer space, space represents countless possibilities and hopes. Losing gravity will also make you light, but you may never have thought of, unlimited freedom. That is dark. Walking out of the cinema at the Venice Film Festival, breathing in the salty sea breeze and enjoying the restrained life, it is actually quite good.

Film evaluation

One sentence comment

For Gravity, most media have praised the depth of the meaning of technology and film.

Although the film is more realistic and less imaginative, the film is not substantially different from the previous 3D and special effects films such as The Boys. Relying on the latest digital technology, Gravity provides a dreamlike experience. This is a film that gives people a feeling of enthusiasm. Both the film critic and the audience will be inspired by this film.

- "Variety"

Gravity is not a traditional science fiction film. It is full of tension and amazing bridges. Alfonso Karon has created a most realistic and beautiful space movie. There are no aliens, interstellar space wars, and no anti-utopian plots. Only a man and a woman deal with the problems they face in the most unfavorable environment, but this constitutes a very compact 90 minutes.

- "Hollywood Reporter"

The British CineVue website gives a super-high rating of five stars. This movie must be watched on the big screen, especially the IMAX giant screen, in order to experience the solemnity and grandeur.

After watching the film Cameron was very excited: I was shocked and was knocked down. I think this is the best space theme film ever. This movie, I have not seen it for a long time. Alfonso and Brock joined forces to tell a story about a woman fighting for her life in a zero-gravity space. This story has no trace of contrived.
