Just watched The Martian. And where Matt Damon goes, I go, so I am glad to have caught up and watched this one. Matt is my favourite actor so there was immediate bias from the start. It's more his film choices than his acting really. I regard his acting as mediocre, but every film he is in really educates or inspires me. This film could not fail because I totally LOVE disco music (predominant soundtrack throughout the film) and it was his only life line while being stranded on Mars, despite his loathing of it.
It was nice to hear Hues Corporations "Rock The Boat" because that is the 1974 disco hit chosen for our first dance at my wedding. Oh, and then David Bowie's "Starman" is played in the film. It might be an obvious choice in light of the theme, but anyone who listens closely to the beginning of that track might just wonder if David Bowie had actually had a UFO encounter himself, via a radio transmission?
The crux of the film was a big fist pumping YES to life and displayed how any external life challenge can be approached with certainty. The outcome is unknown but the attempt to effect it spoke of total faith. I also love happy endings
It certainly rocked my boat and will definitely be watching it again!
