The story of hope...

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2020)

The story in brief:
The man called Mark Watney from NASA's space mission gets left behind on Mars alone as a result of a tragic incident and his teammates believe that he is dead. Mark realizes that he has somehow survived through this accident & decides to survive for some more days. This hope of surviving pushes him to all his limits & come up with insane solutions, which no one would ever imagine.
What this movie taught me:
Even after realizing that his team has left him alone on Mars, he never blames any of his teammates
->How often we do this? We keep on blaming others for our own situations
He uses his knowledge as a botanist to the true potential & grows potatoes on the soil of Mars with his own poop
->Did we ever think about our true potential?
Once everything was set up & going as per his plan, his small experiment blows all his crops & he is back to zero again. But this doesn't stop him.
->Ups & downs are part of life, they shouldn't shake you up. The right attitude will always get you out of any trouble
He would record himself every single day with a hope that when he dies, someone would listen to his story of surviving on Mars
->Live your life as if you are writing a book, which others would love to read later on
He kept that smile on his face till the very last moment in space, when his team actually rescues him
->Appreciate & acknowledge what life has given you irrespective of your current state or what you aspire to be
My favorite line from the movie: Tell my family, that I never stopped fighting to make it home
