Astrid is one of the winners of Generation Mars; a reality show sending the first humans to Mars, never to return. Multiple award winning short film starring Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Samantha Lawson, Ingjerd Egeberg and Bernt Bjørn.
Oh my goodness, how powerful was this. It had me from get go, it also had me in tears most of the time. Her Father played an amazing role, so did the young actress herself. Really is a must to watch. 🥰🇬🇧👍
The psychological stress of leaving your only reality called home. Realizing the beauty of every little detail about earth that you took for granted. A kind of death really, not the 'end of your existence'...but the end of every little thing you grew to love...the end of it's existance. 🌏
there will definitely be manned launches to Mars , and soon ... hopefully not funded and controlled by reality TV though. (loved their blinkandyoumissit reference to NASA's disapproval). ... as an American, I can speak from experience on how bad of an idea it is to allow those types into positions of power. Let the trials begin!
Reminds me of my daughter, has no real understanding/comprehension of actions and words until it`s all just too late, ending up an emotional wet rag for the rest of the sad regretable miserable short life. Bonvoyage,adios,adieu,goodbye forever...no coming back from this flight, enjoy your new planet.
The acting and plot were excellent. In real life, how to deal with the psychological doubt would have been built into the training program. Well before and up to final selection, emotional stressors would have systematically dealt with and mission orientation conditioned into the crew. Probably some tasks would be given during launch and cruise phase to occupy the Astronauts thoughts even if those tasks did nothing.
Okay sure if it's NASA or ESA but this is what we can expect when it is run by private corporations who want to exploit every possible way of making money.
Angst was laboured...plot too drawn out...but great acting and even better camerawork, cutting and editing...ending, unfortunately, was neither here nor there.
I get where this is going, I am in with the actual Mars colonising groups. Annoying tho they had to add the same-sex couple thing with her publicist, which is apparently a prerequisite now to apply for any sort of film award submission. They couldnt have used background charaters for that? maybe the reason the mother left was a same sex affair.. but no.. they didnt really think it through - In this case an adam and eve is sent to mars to start a new human colony.. except because of the diversity quota the story makes no sense because the main character isnt actually into men with that included; it basically insults the actual emotion and challenges the main story is meant to portray reducing the impact from facing fears to just becoming a tragedy at the start of a colony that is now destined to fail.
Whoa, that was heavy!!! It gathered me up and carried me all the way to the crescendo. I was there in that capsule with all off the excitement, fear and passion. Bravo!!!!
That woman is old enough to be Astrid’s mother! It is a perfect reflection of Hollywood/ stardom and the abuses, manipulation, selfishness, using of other for personal gain/ lust/ etc.. (I’m sure this was the intention of the writer, including the love of parents, and even the absent mother- which it sounds like she had chosen fame over her family, then shame kept her from reuniting after growing & realizing her error- was seemingly genuinely seeking the best for her daughter & trying to protect her
Great story plot. Though for myself, stopped watching at the scene in the car.... The other lady bribing, coercing Astrid. The MSM has always left a bad taste in my mouth, and that scene, there is no need for people to be so hurtful just to be a success at the expense of someone elses emotions. Cheers for sharing.
The WHOLE story is about what you want to do and opportunities to do it. Then doing things..THE RIGHT WAY.. WITH NO REGRETS. Seize your opportunities or someone else will
The cinematography and acting was very good. However, to have a story plot of an achieving young lady who won a spot on a historic trip to another planet only to have the plot she does not truly understand she is never coming back at the last moment as a reality, plus being manipulated by the sponsoring show is the height of absurdity. Why? These issues would have been delt with long before the last minute. I'm not impressed.
I agree. But of course then the whole premise of selecting a candidate for such a mission by way of a Reality TV show is the true absurdity. It's clear that the SciFi aspect is just a thinly veiled device for other themes, and it renders the whole mix rather naive.
On blast off passengers destined for Mars, knowing they won't ever walk on Earth again, will be terrified, screaming "stop! I've changed my mind. I want to get off!". After year one on Mars several Martians (once Earthlings) will be living with deep depression, wishing they had never made such a foolish choice. Year two and there will have been several suicides and a murder or two. Three years in, those surviving will be psychotic. Following years anyone still alive will be living with insanity ruling their daily lives. By year ten, if anyone is still alive, survivors will feel nothing but distrust and hatred for those few left alive with them. Going to Mars, never coming back to Mother Earth, will be the greatest mistake Martians will ever make.
I don't think I have ever seen anything Sci fi that didn't also fall into some other category. They are usually sci-fi-action, drama, thriller, horror, dystopian, etc. They kind of have to be since sci-fi is more of a setting. I feel the same way about fantasy, historical. They should have a different descriptor since a sci fi movie could be about ANYTHING as long as its set on a space ship or another planet, etc.
indicative of our arrival here on earth - although we don't remember anything prior - mainly because in some other existence we were indoctrinated with whatever form of thought that involved with a whole different set of dimensional restraints so nothing that we were before was translatable into our existence here -- EXCEPT for the soul of course - however since most people here in the now are having and have always had a problem with finding the soul within we have basically damned ourselves to a life of loneliness and suffering with self-imposed sorrows - we made this place into a living hell because we are unable to understand compassion kindness and what real love is - (nothing to do do with sex and marriage) - if our soul has not been given permission to run the show then we can not find the soul with thought - and we have made soul the prisoner of thought - when the reality is brain should be serving soul - but rarely does anyone even have a clue what that means. we are a collective whole suffering a collective insanity currently that sad to say does not end well - and yet if a person can find the soul then they will not believe the things the mind tells them and death will no longer be feared and people will stop being sheep and understand we don't need leaders - in any form to find out way through if we just treat each other as we would like to treated in the truest sense of purity and understanding - so ya we live our whole lives in doubt not knowing why we are here and what we are - who we are and what is our purpose - and since we don't really let soul find its way to our hearts - we are lost and destructive to all things good and of worth.
Most boring and actionless 30 minutes of my life.. we need less of the family visits of emotional bribery and more action and flight as well as some of the hardships of 3 months in a rocket ship and the fears of landing and the action of building habitats and the the action of parts failure and the happiness of finding a solution and saving the mission and the colony.. the 25 minutes of family conversations and fans harassing Astrid was a waisted 25 minutes that could have been spent on better thing's.. as for the acting and camera work and the production it self i say it was high quality product but a boring high quality product!! 😢
@@jv-lk7bc yes it was new and was high quality product but no one else has done this before because it's boring and I can bet people have written scripts like this and production companies said no to producing it because it's super boring and would chase away people after the 10 minutes mark.. the concept was good the storyline could have went along way.. it should have been condensed to 5 minutes of emotional bribery and the rest spent on mission training and some of the hardships of the stresses and coworkers relationships and the fear of death and action of building the colony ect. 25 minutes of shit that's as boring as water and a launch was just to boring.. I really do see potential for the script though and the actors was good given the material and the production was done very well so it's not all bad and I'm not hating on it just pointing out that it's to much boring with literally no reward for the 25 minute investment in the emotional bribery.
I like the idea of sending all of our finest intellectuals to Mars: Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Teresa May, Marjorie Taylor Green, Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk.... That could definitely help save humanity.
That is a great idea. Those people would create a wonderful civilization by doing all the heavy lifting. Sadly after that the liberal carpet baggers would show up and destroy paradise.
