THE MARTIAN


Let me tell about producers of the Martian movie before its topic.The Martian was directed by Ridley Scott in 2014-2015.Drew Goddard adapted the novel written by Andy Weir in 2011 .And he wrote a script for the film.Simon Kinberg,Michael Schaefer,Aditya Sood and Mark Huffam are producers and the fictioner is Pietro Scalia.


As for the topic it is year 2035.Mark Watney (Matt Damon who is the headliner) is member of the crew Ares III in NASA. When they were in Mars, they have to cancel their duty because of a duststorm.They suppose Watney is dead and leave Mars.But he is just fainted.He wakes up and goes to the life barracks.he starts to record himself on video messages.He is a botanist and he grows potatoes using stools of the crew.He gets water by combining hydrogen and oxygen.
Meanwhile, NASA picks him out and starts to work. But they fail. Watney calculates the next visit of Ares IV.Then he finds a scout vehicle and communicate with NASA.Then,they say to the crew Ares III,that he is alive.After NASA’s Works fail,the crew decides to save Watney.So,they return to Mars for him.
Filming started on November 25,2014 in Hungary, Budapest.The director chose 3D cameras for  the film.Real potatoes were grown.There are some scenes in Wadi Rum,Jordan that is UNESCO World Heritage Site.Wadi Rum was used for the films ‘Mars,Red Planet,The Last Days On Mars’,too.Filming took about 70 days.
I watched ‘The Martian’ with my family. We all liked it.Because it is the film of tenacity and determination and it appeals to people of all ages.’The Martian’ is story of never giving up.And there are some lessons for us in it like friendship and struggle to stay alive.You should definitely watch it.
