1488 Baptism of Vision
"Half of North America can't get on Facebook. ”
Alex's complaint caused a chuckle to ring out in the entire screening room, but the laughter didn't have time to roll, and then everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, because the flying satellite debris was like a meteor shower, and the three humans seemed so insignificant in the vast universe, they tried their best to return to the space station, but ......
Too late.
Before Sharif could even activate his own jetpack, he was hit by fragments and died instantly.
Ryan is trying to leave the Hubble Telescope and return to the space station, but the umbilical cord between him and the Explorer's robotic arm appears to be stuck and cannot be untied.
Alex came over to help, and the two of them were picking up speed, but before they could unravel it, the satellite debris had already crashed into the Explorer and disintegrated in an instant.
Ryan was tightly tied to a robotic arm, and the rotational acceleration was getting faster and faster, with no control and no room for adjustment. Even Alex couldn't do anything about it, and she kept reminding, "Doctor, you must unbuckle or you'll be taken away by the robotic arm!"
But Ryan was at a loss. It's not just three hundred and sixty degrees, or even seven hundred and twenty degrees, one thousand and eighty degrees that are flipping rapidly, the whole world is turning upside down, and he has completely lost control.
"Listen to me and concentrate! I can't see you soon! In a few moments, I won't be able to find you! Hurry up and unbuckle or I won't see you!
Alex's voice grew cold and sharp, urging continuously.
At the last moment, Ryan finally unbuckled himself, but the centrifugal gravity of the high-speed swinging of the mechanical arm threw Ryan out hard, like an anti-aircraft gun, and disappeared into the vast universe in an instant. Completely gone.
The entire screening room was no longer audible, and even the sound of the heartbeat seemed to have fallen silent.
Shock, this is the real shock, magnifying the magnificent contrast between human beings and the universe to the extreme, detonating in an instant, leaving no time and space for reaction at all, and then it suddenly hit the hearts of every audience, bursting to the extreme in the pupils.
……
Flip, keep flipping. Ryan lost all control and dependence in the universe, no matter how much he waved his hands and feet, he couldn't find any point of strength, and then he could only flip helplessly in the boundless emptiness, and he could still hear Alex's anxious questioning voice, but he couldn't answer.
The camera closes in little by little, and finally freezes on the super large close-up of the entire face, and even the pores can be clearly seen.
Those pupils were full of fear and panic, trembling slightly, as if the pupils had been fixed in one direction, looking motionless into the distance, but vaguely able to catch the gently trembling blankness, not only panic and timidity, but also a kind of overwhelmed and helpless dazedness.
He was trying to find it, and in the depths of those eyes was still looking for a glimmer of life, but his brain was already stiff, unable to think or function at all, his mind was blank, only panic and helplessness remained, his breathing became more and more rapid and short, and a large area of mist could be seen above the glass mask of his helmet, like a barometer, clearly writing the chaos in his heart.
Gradually, gradually, the trembling of the pupils stopped, and the rapid breathing also stopped, like a puppet that had lost its soul, it was completely lifeless, even the focus and focus were slowly collapsing, and the brilliance under the eyes was disappearing little by little.
Watching the fog above the glass mask disappear, the agitation of fear and shock was spreading rapidly throughout the screening room.
No expression, no eyes, no breathing. Ryan fell into a halt, not death, but stagnation, as if he had fallen into a state of extreme fear and shock, and even the action of breathing had been forgotten, as if he could avoid the crisis as long as he held his breath.
In this way, the camera burrows into the helmet, into the narrow space of the glass mask, almost against the cheek, capturing the slightest subtle change in the facial muscles. The visual stunner is pushed to the extreme.
Ryan opened his mouth, and the muscles in his forehead and neck slowly tightened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and green tendons could be faintly seen, which meant that even with his mouth open, he couldn't breathe any oxygen.
The almost documentary-style reality completely presents the crisis and chaos of the situation on the scene, and even the process of despair and helplessness being eaten away at life little by little, is really too cruel and too real. Everyone in the audience couldn't help but hold their breath.
All the way up to ...... The fear and panic finally disappeared, the consciousness returned to the brain, and then I couldn't wait to start breathing heavily, and again began to breathe violently, even greedily, to prove that I was alive.
The sound of breathing in the screening room also came and went.
Then in the zoomed-in lens, you can see that Ryan's pupils began to flutter again, but this time it was slightly different, he was focusing, and it was obvious that he was focusing, trying to find a glimmer of life, lest he miss a single detail, so that he had to keep his eyes open as hard as he could, and a thin mist began to appear in his bloodshot eyes.
He immediately blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog and make his vision clear.
A small action vividly shows the burst of survival/desire/hope, and then, the camera finally breaks free from the shackles of the glass mask and returns to space, focusing on Ryan's upper body, quietly recording his survival and struggle.
Ryan began to search around quickly, determining his location and reporting his coordinates to Alex, hoping to wait for Alex's call for help, but ...... He didn't wait for any response, Alex, Houston, he didn't hear anything.
He was the only one left in the entire vast universe, a lonely person, floating endlessly, the feeling of loneliness to the point of almost coldness, made him panic again, but this time it was the kind of panic that wanted to cry without tears, twisting his head with all his might, but he couldn't find any figure.
"Anyone?"
Almost muttered a word, a slightly trembling voice betrayed his helplessness and vulnerability. He spun in the boundless universe, spinning slowly, spinning and spinning, towards a destination that he did not know, and it could spin forever and forever.
Just as Ryan was about to give up, all that remained in the universe was muttering and breathing, and Alex's voice rang out again, "Dr. Stone, can you hear me?"
In an instant, the whole world comes alive.
"Yes, Lieutenant Kowalski, I can hear you!" Ryan replied eagerly, the urgency that passed through the screen.
Eighteen minutes, a full eighteen minutes of one-shot to the end, vividly show the vastness of the universe, the insignificance of human beings, the impact of accidents and the infinite loneliness. That baptism of the soul has transcended the story and the characters themselves, pushing the shock of film art to an unparalleled extreme, and every audience can really be in it and have endless aftertastes.
All the details such as the actors, the shots, and the special effects became the weapons in the hands of the director, and the picture was constructed that could not be evaluated, admired, or felt. This is the greatest charm of film art!
The movie has just begun, and some people have already begun to regret it: regret that they accidentally blinked, regret that they didn't focus more seriously, regret that they didn't keep every frame in their minds, which is even more powerful than the impact of "Avatar" when it came out in 2009.
I'm already looking forward to it.
In the silence, Alex finally found Ryan according to the coordinates, and used the buckle to bind the two together, and the loneliness and fear began to dissipate because he found a companion, and then Alex used his jetpack to return to the Explorer space station step by step, and tried to contact Houston ground.
But the picture is not encouraging. The Explorer was so badly damaged that no signs of life could be found at the moment, Sherif was dead, and Houston had been cut off.
Now, there are only two people left in space, Ryan and Alex, and based on Houston's ground calculations, Alex speculates that in 90 minutes, they will be attacked by a second wave of debris, and there is really not much time left for them.
Because the Explorer was largely destroyed and unusable, Alex and Ryan had no choice but to go to the International Space Station and use Soyuz to return to Earth.
The two of them used the push of the jetpack in space to make a long journey to the International Space Station, even with the rapid drop in oxygen levels, Alex was still in the mood to enjoy the sunrise in space, the majestic orange-red light erupted, so beautiful that all the words remained in his mind, just quietly appreciating.
At this moment, Alex began to play cowboy tunes again, and in the vast universe, the familiar foreign tune echoed in his ears, and the two figures moved slowly under the background of the vast universe, and the stark contrast from the grand to the humble, from the majestic to the small, burst out with an incredible sense of loneliness.
In the vast universe, it seems that there are only two of them left.
