Ten years ago I wouldn't have batted an eye over something like this. Now, my brain would light up in the same areas that it would if I'd seen a bucket of maggots.
10 years ago, there wasn't a black man, white woman couple on literally every single show, film and commercial being shown to you. They're probably hitting about 10,000% representation. Almost like there's some kind of agenda...
10 years ago I was still dating black girls (the ones that they put on TV in the 80s and 90s family shows that act White and have White facial features like on Cosby Show or Sister Sister to normalize this).
and Fresh Prince of Ball Aire
Eh. The young one was OK but she hit the wall way young
This movie was a generic popcorn flick with a lot of the "whole world unites together to overcome adversity kumbaya" shit that liberals love.
Ryan Gosling plays a sniveling coward who literally runs away from his obligation to his species to the point that they have to sedate him to get him onto the ship. He has amnesia for like 20 minutes, figures out how to operate a spaceship that would take literal years of training to do, by himself, in order to reach another star system. The reason he is there is because alien anthrax has been eating our sun. You know, because organisms can clearly survive the radioactive inferno of the coronasphere.
He then finds an alien spaceship, which throws a thermos made of frozen xenon, which is apparently frozen at room temperature. Gosling then picks it up, does not receive instant frostbite, and figures out how to talk to a five legged rock alien that sees and speaks via echolocation. For some reason, despite being made of rock, it cannot survive in oxygen because it instantly starts rusting away. They proceed to work together to find the predatory microorganism to kill the alien anthrax that is dimming the sun. Stuff goes wrong, and Gosling is forced to make a decision between getting back to earth or going back to save the rock alien. Naturally, he chooses to go save the rock alien instead of his own species.
The writers get around this by having him send back the samples in probes so that he can physically go save the rock alien. This action leaves him stranded on the rock alien planet where he gets to live out his previous career of being a middle school science teacher.
The whole time he is doing this we get flashbacks to him accidentally stumbling his way into success, acting like a complete dork, running away from his problems, and trying to flirt with a 45 year old German woman who works for the UN. Said woman is the one who makes the decision to sedate him since he literally flees when she tells him he has to go on the space mission.
Gosling plays the only white man with any real lines in the movie. Every other character is a woman/nonwhite/rock alien, and even in the middle school scene in the flashback the only students asking important questions are black and indian.
It's entertaining, but it's nothing special, just another popcorn flick with propaganda in the background that will escape the notice of normies.
So basically the main character is a White man whose only role is to serve shitskins at his own demise.
Thank you for that full plot breakdown. I was very curious about what all the hype was about but as I don't ever buy into hype for games and movies, I had zero interest in watching it.
The book is much better. I don’t recall any of that DEI shit in it. Main character is still a selfish coward, but gets some redemption

edit: actual study "Finally, we assessed the heatmaps generated by participants’ clicks on the rung they felt best represented the extent of their moral circle."
So I guessed wrong, the heatmap shows that most liberals say they care about universe-level things, but not how much they care. Other charts in the paper show liberals do care more about more-distant people than conservatives, but it's less pronounced than this.
Basic idea of the chart is right, this graph is just an exaggerated representation of it.
It's not really that exaggerated when you look at how they behave.
The other charts have liberals rating strangers 4/5 whereas conservatives say 3/5.
That's not the impression anyone would get looking at the heatmap alone.
That's a bit disingenuous. Unless the movie didn't bother to mention that it was supposed to be a suicide mission in the first place and the multiple probes were the only plan to get the information back to Earth anyway.
The alien was the reason why he even had the option to go back to Earth in the first place. Also without the alien he would've never solved the mystery of the space goo. So he didn't choose to save the alien instead of his own species he chose to save the alien instead of going home. Because getting home alive was a long shot anyway.
Anyway Project Hail Mary is just The Martian 2. The main character is Mark Watney with a different name and backstory and the alien is just the alien version of Mark Watney. The plot structure is pretty much exactly the same too. And not just in the most basic sense.
Sounds a lot like the Martian, also by Andy Weir, except more cliched maybe
Everything I've heard about this movie has suggested that the book might be worth a read, but I had no inclination to see this movie from the first I heard of it.
Reading the book, main character is a teacher and he asks students about cLImatE cHanGE and all the students know, next chapter they discover that something in the story needs CO2 as a fuel, but Earth doesn't have enough ...
I couldn't get more than 200 words in. Weir might be the worst writer the human race has ever produced.
Is his writing style that irritating?
Yes. His "technical writing" is vomiting up wikipedia summaries without regard for pace or context. His characters read like 4chan mockeries of reddit users, except the punchline never comes.
If you roll out of bed every morning and say, out loud, "praise science! Time for a cup of go-go bean juice!" then you will love this book.
I HECKIN' LOVE SCIENCE!1!
It took some adjustment but he’s not a bad writer. He has profound technical depth. He actually built a very good character in Dr Grace as a brilliant but flawed individual. He keeps you on the edge of your seat a lot too.
He is mechanically descriptive. Don’t expect any Tolkien like descriptions.
He writes like a Reddit user, yay science and all that. The writing won't last the test of time, it's too couched in modern language
I don’t think he writes like a Reddit user 😂 but I see your point.
Books that use modern pop culture references I think won’t stand the test of time (See Ready Player One).
I'd put em in a similar ballpark. It's the new airplane novel for men, rather than stuff like Louis L'Amour
That's great if you're writing an instruction manual, but isn't the point of writing literature to create clear images in the mind of the reader without having to say "The brown and black german sheppard, weighing 43 lbs and standing approximately 1 1/2 feet to the shoulder, jumped 3' 4" inches to clear the top of a hand-build, sandstone wall"? Isn't that why we have things like metaphore and allegory and cultural context?
Or am I missing your point?
Writing like that makes the fake sciency bits sound more real, and that's why people like his books and movies, it's dumbed-down nonsense with no real meaning that any moron can lap up.
There’s definitely a segment of readers who geek out on the science and math that Weir frequently puts into his books.
He caters to those types of readers. I think the Martian movie just took his books mainstream.
Worse than that illiterate retard E.E. Cummings?
Cummings had the advantage of existing prior to reddit.
Yikes.
hard to believe mundane matt manages to spread his influence here.
I thought jarbos complaint was it's not woke enough
90s woke: based on woke principles but not dialed up to 11
Boulder collectorcompuslve false reporter to get videos critical of him taken down.I think the screenshot is accurate to the book fyi. There is a black astronaut and he does start fucking a white woman astronaut. ..but honestly its a pretty small part of the book. Its legitimately not a political book or corrupted by dei. Weir is however not a "based" author and his world view is slightly skewed from living in these woke times.
I rolled my eyes at the whole black astronaut thing honestly. Weir did that thing were hes some kind of savant genius but oh yeah hes black. I don't know why boomers love doing this.
I'm serious its still a great book and there's no blacks in 90% of it.
I stopped watching the movie after this. It was a good movie...
You'll be hard pressed to find any recent movie not coming out of East Asia that doesn't promote miscegenation or faggotry (or both).
Yeah, that's why I don't watch hardly any modern movies.
At least it's a jewess but I'm sure she's pretending to be White.
I think token gets blown up by mishandling astrophage and the mudshark dies in the long hibernation coma. Either that or she gets blown to smithereens along with token, I forget which is which.
Yes, can confirm for both. Token kills himself by not confirming the amount of astrophage he was given, so the movie doesn't exactly portray him well.
I read the book and these appear to be character accurate if these two are who I think they are. I haven’t watched the movie.
Not a huge deal for me. They are minor characters. Weir uses characters from all over the world.
He did push a little on climate change crap. They go so far as to cause more climate change to slow down the effects of the dying light from the sun. Not sure if the movie addressed this or not.
We have warnings of drugs or violence, we now need a warning about race mixing and faggots. I started watching the show 12 Monkeys and it was going well until maybe episode 3 when she gets together with a monkey. Stopped watching it right then.
Thankfully they both died.
