Beautiful Masterpiece on Optimism

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2020)

This is a very, very good movie. It is good because it gives us Mark Watney. This man is a real superhero because he has the best attitude a human being can have. Immature people think of him as boring and one dimensional as they cannot distinguish lack of narcissism from lack of personality.
The super power of Mark Watney is optimism. He has lots of it and that's why he survives. And he survives good. It adds him and everyone else value cause we all get experience and knowledge out of it. He isn't handed super powers because he was victimized by evil forces and it's payback time. He isn't winning because he is the good one against evil forces. He isn't solving problems because he is magically so much better than anyone else. He isn't going insane from being victimized and expose us to a cringe show of pityfull weirdness. He isn't shining over and exploiting secondary characters that we agree to be so invaluable to just fit in the role of collateral damage. He, by himself, take the circumstances as they are and manages to work with them. He gets help from other people, not sucking their power away. Because he is optimistic.
This movie is so generous that it not only gives us the power of optimism but the source of it too. You don't get it out of positive thinking, self love, regular meditation or deep cynicism that you confuse with realism. You get it out of curiosity. Because you are someone who can see the tiny plant with tiny leaves on the ground and understand that it is something special. You even became a botanist to know more about it. So in essence, it is that tiny plant and your dedication to it, is what saves you.
This whole movie is a lesson on how to tell an actually good and meaningful story.
