movie Sunshine
I just saw Sunshine in the theater. It was good. It was a very hypnotic movie. The visuals were great (as usual with movies today) and there was plot, that made sense! And I can't really remember any of the music, but it was very good too.
Oops meant to cut here. I shouldn't blog right before bed.
And a somewhat claustrophobic feeling, 8 people on a ship, stuck together for months on end as it all falls apart. And the foreshadowing was really, really good. There is one spot where the character sends a letter to his sister that “it will take 8 hours for the light of the sun to reach Earth, so if you look up and it’s a particularly beautiful morning, you’ll know we made it.” because they’re going to send a bomb into the sun to reignite it. And I can’t tell you how I knew, but I knew they were all going to die as soon as I sat down, even though they thought they were going to live til right near the end. And it looked at how they responded to (knowing, not knowing) they were all going to die. And if they could suceed in the mission and who would have to die to keep the others alive.
And I liked the physicist/bomb maker who thinks his bomb is beautiful and isn’t afraid. And the botanist was great as she watched her plants burn and found a seed and died. And the (somewhat crazy) psych officer who is in love with the sunlight. And the maintance guy who dies fixing the mainframe. And the guy who so desparately doesn't want to die... They didn’t explain the crazy captain very well, but the sun was dying and the world ending… I suppose that’s enough for anyone to go crazy.
