But separated by the atmosphere, the very heavy life on earth is none other than the very light creatures in outer space. "Gravity" unfolds in a space where there is no sound, no weight, and no other life. This highlights the loneliness of life on Earth as a whole in the universe. This shows that once a person enters space, he or she enters the unstoppable Jedi - no matter what, you have to deal with it yourself. In this context, the feminine characteristics of "Edge of Gravity" are very different, but instead of opposing gender, it conveys a maternal view of life and makes interpretations that women can choose from.
Women are the only survivors of the entire disaster (this disaster - of course, a disaster caused by humans. If Russia had not detonated one of its own satellites, the knock-on effect would not have occurred at all; of course, Russia would never have cared about it. what happens in outer space in the film.A series of disasters; for the universe, these are just events that will naturally eventually go extinct). But this woman is a mother, a high-level intellectual (a doctor, an expert). Not only can he be indifferent to other male characters in the film, he is even stronger (higher social status), but when he was I got into an accident while working on the space station. In my near death experience,
When the protagonist asks her "Who will miss you", she only mentions the dead daughter - besides, no one will miss her, including her family and her husband (maybe or maybe not, Both are equally regrettable) are missing; Mom is currently struggling to survive in outer space, even nearly giving up her life, but suddenly decides to live on for her dead daughter, the identity of "mother" becomes a major turning point when women make choices. We see many symbols of the mother's body (universe, spaceship, sea, earth) in movies. In this series of maternal bodies, the contradiction between male and female is actually not visible (the difference between a man and a woman is not clearly visible when wearing a outer space suit), the male protagonist shows the characteristics of a woman who likes to communicate, cares about other people, and attaches importance to relationships; when the heroine is in a coma, he continues to talk to her, asking about her life, family, and emotions, and asking her to support him. In "The Edge of Gravity", the fusion of gender awareness embodies a kind of reductionism, which returns the differences between men and women to human life itself, and this kind of life is a combination of warm and strong, funny and serious, and need not care about gender differences. , but demands that people embrace the goodness of hope and the beauty of life. asks about his life, family, and emotions, and asks him to support him.

When the heroine faces one predictable but inevitable accident in space, flees from one desperate situation, and then falls into another desperate situation in an instant, we see the meaning of "this world is inhuman, and all. is a dog ". It turns out that everything we talk about, all life and things that we value, from the perspective of transcendence - is nothing but matter and power; only humans can carry meaning. Life in a film, however difficult it may seem, even if it has a symbol of life (the heroine curled up in a space capsule like an embryo on a mother), still has to depend on a series of absurd, unimaginable and a series of inexplicable coincidences. To survive. Ironically,
"Gravity Edge" repeatedly mentions "letting go," from letting go of the past, letting go, letting go of attachments, to letting go of life, but actually that doesn't require us to "let go," but to "hold on tight." When the heroine seizes all opportunities and finally makes it back to Earth, the immeasurable majesty and surprise indicate a "need to seize." As the heroine rises from the sea to the sand, the camera continues to move from the bottom up, up close she holds a handful of sand tightly, up close the sight of her feet and toes gripping the ground as she stands up from the sand - everything looks Not easy to get up, I see. heavy and real.
The heroine Dr. Ryan Stone returns to earth, and there are no cheers for him to escape from death. He was still an isolated life, but the stones in his heart had been shattered to pieces. The mistakes and emotions that he dared not face in the past After personally experiencing nothingness and death, now there is a completely different understanding and realization. This violent life and death enlightenment has transcended women's awareness and become women who can make choices according to their own character and face the heavy burdens of life in the future.
"Edge of Gravity" is so beautiful, besides the audiovisual sensory shock and the extraordinary performance of the heroine, it is also the perspective given by the director: facing the earth from outer space, one can only see a beautiful forecast, the activity of life is very small; we can choose to see only the forest but not the trees; But when we focus on a particular life, we can see the burdens and emotions that other people carry, telling us that what is extraordinary is not only the vast universe, but also human life itself.
