Go now to see even if you do not – but you never know – the unusual opportunity to be in the chair next to an astronaut true, and moreover charge of records, such as Samantha Cristoforetti that not only falls in love with misadventures of Matt Damon – Mark Watney like us mere mortals, but then tells you right away what goes and what does not go in the magnificent and compelling film “The Martian”.
GRAVITY
Just as it did with great success, by reviewing sailed criticizes the cult film “Gravity”, regretting also unlikely underwear, skimpy indeed, the heroine Sandra Bullock that came and went in rapid and culottes minicanottiera from space suits when it in fact astronauts as Samantha wear heavy and not very easy and much less sexy clothes over-skin covered by a hundred meters of tubing.
But, we repeat, is from The Martian see why it’s better to Gravity and Apollo 13 put together, with his fiction so probably concrete and closer to us, just thirty years: year 2045. With its scenarios that do not yield to ever solve, at least so far, as the speculation brain Supreme 2001 Odyssey in space or as the recent and even very exciting Interstellar. And then to see why in these days – with a suspicious coincidence benevolently – NASA, consultant of the troupe, confirmed the presence of liquid water on Mars.
In any case, thanks to the Twentieth Century Fox and Italian Space Agency have set up Tuesday evening at Tor Vergata the world premiere of The Martian now in theaters, here’s what happens when you look at the astronaut Matt Damon up there on the screen, in fact, even higher on Mars, since there alongside astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. And it is having already devoured the first two nights of the novel The Martian champion Andy Weir from which the master Ridley Scott has made into the film forgetting – is to say fortunately – have created Alien and Blade Runner, and maybe instead fished out the theme of the infinite and resilient contention de Duelists, who now are, on the one hand and Matt Damon, on the other, the planet Mars.
Having already read the book, in the case of The Martian, then does not involve the increasingly high risk of being disappointed by the film, which lacks only one octave of drama than the novel. You can accept, as you can fly on two or three licenses in science and technology that the director was granted: the botanical astronaut Mark Watney, abandoned on Mars since believed dead, is apparently not ever subject to lesser gravity of the Red Planet, where It weighs only a third of the Earth. Which is not to say that the Martian sand proceed necessarily only in fits and starts as the moon, where it weighs twice less: a sixth. We would not be blasphemous, but, er er, Corrado Guzzanti had not raised the issue of seriousness in his Fascists on Mars.
STORM
In addition, the storm wind and sand and rock debris that opens the film, in fact, that it triggers, it could never happen because the depletion of the atmosphere on Mars allows only light breezes which can carry just as fine as talcum powder. Finally, but what is not mentioned even in the novel, there is doubt – then tell the Cristoforetti – a castaway Martian as Mark Watney has to bear heavy consequences – whether or not to come back to Earth – for the display of cosmic radiation the effects of which are still little known among the main sources of concern for those who protect the health of astronauts, including those of the international space station that recently hosted Luca Parmitano (fans of the first hour of the novel The Martian) and the same Samantha.
PROUST, DEFOE AND VERNE
Gradually the film progresses and Matt Damon overcoming an obstacle after another with astonishing find talented and phenomenal irony, the feelings that surface, far more hold of Proust’s Madeleine, are those of a child absolutely not digital, with only one tv channel in black and white and many books: then, as has been too easily said, the eighteenth-century Crusoe Defoe, but the very late nineteenth-century engineer Smith Mysterious Island Verne. For every obstacle we must think and think again: you can stay like this in life without being superheroes with super powers.
It ‘a film about the future but Scott pushes you always mild in limbo emotions of the recent past, of ‘adolescence, thanks to a loophole portentous: the idea is not his, but the writer Weir but maybe he had not imagined the effects in the film. Just imagine: as the more obvious clichés, the writer and engineer Weir American, finished masterpiece, could not find a shred of publisher who believed in him and in 2011, as the tenacious protagonist conceived, you autopubblicò the book, which later became a super bestseller.
I WILL SURVIVE
The trick is to have punished the poor Watney with a single stock of songs in the refuge-prison Martian, or the entire play list and only disco of the 70s and 80s left by the commander of the mission, Lewis, in the film a credible Jessica Chastain . When you read the novel and we do not necessarily the case: yes, the constant self-irony of the protagonist, which puts even posing to Fonzie, is another inspired idea of the writer recovery verbatim from the director and screenwriter Drew Goddard, but then really listen to the hits of Abba in the room and, in the end, I will survive Gloria Gaynor while Watney tries his best not to kick the bucket, it’s really overwhelming. From tears to my eyes, caught between despair and joy. He also feels David Bowie , but not with Life on Mars? (That obvious banality) or Space Oddity, but with Star Man, to accompany a time when the botanist finally seems to have it hit it right.
The film, more than the book in which the description makes less impression, shows mercilessly body emaciated and covered with sores Damon when sol past on Mars become too many and the supplies of food, including the now famous potatoes from him prodigiously grown on the red sand, are about to end. Sol? And ‘the day on Mars lasts 38 minutes in more than here. It seems not much, but those who follow the activities of Earth, for example, the probes on Mars had to really review matters very little space and yet much labor as work shifts, eight hours a day or eight hours per sol Earth?
COMMUNICATIONS LENS
“The delay in communications with the Earth – then explains the Italian Space Agency astronaut europe, in great shape – it is made well in The Martian, although here too often using irony: there are at least a 20 minute wait between question and answer, and then, in the meantime, any emergencies rapidly changing could not be resolved with the help of the control center on Earth. It becomes even more important to rely on themselves and on their companions. Matt Damon is just, but because of a catastrophe that we hope will never happen, but then the ship’s crew and technical teams on Earth demonstrated the vital importance of teamwork. “
And USA CHINA
They also show why the Cristoforetti has learned, even with little or no free time and not being forced, after the Chinese English, French, German and Russian. In The Martian, much more than in Gravity, it is hypothesized an alliance between the US and China to save the botanical. That team, American and Chinese together. “In space, the international station, you learn to fully trust each other, to understand each other with a look – says the astronaut when the applause come back on the lights in the auditorium ASI – It ‘a great experience and I would be ready to leave immediately: yes, even to Mars, although the mission would last, with current technologies, at least two years. I do not know if I could get as Matt Damon, a very good actor. I’m not even botany, but the survival instinct, I’m sure, I would invent something. “
EXOMARS
Meanwhile on Mars are about to leave, between 2016 and 2018, the orbiter and the probe of the ExoMars mission, the European Space Agency (with a leading role for ASI) and della’agenzia Russian space “.

“Already, the first man in space always go robots, so we test materials and technologies and, above all, you collect information – concluded Cristoforetti, besieged more than Matt Damon in a film festival – The Martian Even in these devices have a decisive role: net of scientific and technical issues, is a good movie, exciting, that can push many to follow more closely the issues of space on which depends the very future of humanity that will need resources maybe even traceable on Mars.
A CAMEO IN STAR TREK
I would also recommend Europe Report, a low budget film but very interesting. I in a film about the fans of Star Trek? Well, the television series I’ve always liked, but I could never play. Yes, yes, something on the web came out, but as I can remotely think of doing a cameo. “
Matt Damon is advised.
