The Martiane

I watched the movie "The Martiane" last Sunday. The story is that during a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney, who is a main character, is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.

I was imagining that if I are Mark Watney, I will be able to survive alone like him while I was watching. My answer is definitely "No" because I don't have any mathematical knowledge like astronauts. Moreover, I don't have strong mind like just Watney has had. I am attracted his personality. He is a very positive and lively person even though he is alone in entire space: he is singing loudly and talking to a video camera. Also, he has tough mind which can overcome several problems he faces: he has never given up and has been thinking about solutions be alive for more than five hundreds days. It is difficult for me to live alone without taking with somebody, and I can't imagine it totally. I suggest that human beings will not live alone and must need to have someone whom share and talk with. I sometimes have missed my country or my family who live in Japan since I came in the United States; however, I have been staying here for three years because I'm encouraged by my children or friends whom have been sharing fun time. On the other hand, I will face problems which I have to find the solution in the future. I usually tend to rely on my husband's advice when I'm in trouble. Why not? Because he might have experiences more than me. He works on a responsible position every day and absorbs many social information each day. So finding solutions by myself might be necessary for me in the future.       
    

I learned from the movie that I should seek for solutions without giving up whenever I encounter problems. Therefore,  I might usually need to have sense of crisis more and more in my life.
