The Martian

We went to the matinee 2-D version.  (I don’t like to wear those glasses.)  The film, directed by Ridley Scott, is an uplifting film that will make you leave the theater wishing reality were that inspiring.  

The NASA team includes men and women, Chinese, Indians, and blacks, all working toward a common goal.  The crew on the space ship is made up of men and women, at least one Latino, a German, a lesbian, and again, they are united in a common purpose and work as a real team.


The rescue mission includes aid from China–the rescue mission would not succeed without China’s help.    Even so, the whole film emphasizes an American can-do attitude of cooperation, mutual aid, and ingenuity.  It is also exciting as it can be.
