Almost a year ago, the movie "Martian" was released. The roles and actors of the film adaptation of the novel of the same name are so suitable for each other that the viewer cannot but believe the emotions of the performers. The work of the crew and the cast was appreciated by both the audience and critics, the picture received well-deserved awards.
Plot
The movie The Martian (starring Matt Damon) is based on Andy Weir’s novel. The film is about a man who, thanks to an unfortunate coincidence, was left alone on Mars. The research team with which he arrived on the Red Planet flies to Earth, the nearest ship can be expected in almost two years, and there are not so many food and nutrition reserves in the research station.
What will do and what can a person find himself in in such conditions? How will the departed colleagues and leadership on Earth act? Will they try to save the life of the Martian "Robinson" or will they passively observe his death? The answer to these questions can be found by watching the movie "The Martian."
The actors and roles in this film are selected just perfectly, each artist is so consistent with the descriptions in the novel that it seems born precisely for this picture.
Shooting
Most of the filming took place in Budapest. This city is famous for its first-class specialists and magnificent views. The city attracted the creators of this picture with huge pavilions for filming.
In the largest of them - with number 6 - a Martian landscape was created, including a launch pad and a base of researchers. Panoramas of the Red Planet were shot in Jordan.
One of the pavilions was given for the construction of the spacecraft, in which many scenes of the film were shot. The other is for NASA headquarters. The third is for workshops in which technicians worked.
The platform where the hero of Matt Damon grew potatoes really existed in the pavilions. The studio was equipped with a greenhouse with artificial light and watering - it was distinguished from the Martian one only by its simplified tuber nutrition system. This stronghold of Martian agriculture was surrounded by a green screen 20 meters high and a total area of almost 2 hectares.
It was not the first time that the protagonists of the movie “The Martian” tried on themselves the costumes of space explorers. Roles and actors were already “familiar” with each other, since earlier almost all the participants in this project starred in tapes about space exploration or the conquest of extraterrestrial territories. Nevertheless, each actor considered it his duty to carefully prepare for each scene, achieving the most realistic picture.
For all those who took part in the work on the picture, this project became one of the most beloved, everyone just lived through this process - filming the fantastic movie “The Martian”. Roles and actors were harmoniously matched, assistants and technical staff performed the work brilliantly. Even the most demanding director Ridley Scott - a big fan of graphics ahead of schedule - was pleased with the quality and speed of making the film.
Actors
The Martian, whose roles and actors are practically inseparable from each other, boasts a very worthy team. The film was attended by Matt Damon, who received his first Golden Globe for this role as an actor, Jessica Chastain, meticulously studying the correct movements for moving in zero gravity, Kate Mara, Kristen Wiig, Chvetel Ejiofor and many others.
