He spent 90 years in "suspended animation" to get to where he is now. During that time, she aged and passed away, probably a long time ago. That's what the story is about.

@ClockworkOuroborous 3 месяца назад

Mnemosyne is one of Greek gods, the Goddess of Memory. Her daughters by Zeus are the 9 muses. So the title is "Memory Rising" So it's a reference to his memories of Earth.

This is why they do psych evaluations of astronaut candidates before sending them into space.

When you're alone long enough, most memories gets faded, noise disappear and reality becomes irrelevant. You'll hold on to those few memories when you felt loved and nothing else matters.

@PhilG999 3 месяца назад

I have to admit I'm fascinated with all the props and background items! I recognize so many of them! Things that were discarded years ago that I've had and used AND still have some of them!

I don't understand why so many nasty comments. The blue planet is called Mnemosine not by chance. I found this brilliant, good acting and very good scenography, very suggestive. Well done

@cinemartin3530 3 месяца назад

I would like to pay tribute to this work for its consistent retro-sci-fi atmosphere, the presence of a large number of specially made props and a beautiful message about man’s craving for space, both real and metaphorical. Yes, the short film is minimalistic, but everything in it is done to perfection, and it seems to me that this is just a great example to follow. I don't regret watching this👍

I love this video. A thoughtful science fiction presentation of the space between the ears. The props are wonderful. It looks like the old equipment you might find at an Amateur Radio Flea Market. Great job Miguel Alvarez.

@ApproximatelyCee Месяц назад

RU-vid sent this fascinating short film to me for a second look. It has nudged my perspective of the film to a happier perspective. It looks like Mnemosine Is helping the man to go back to his woman even though it would normally be too late after 100 years or more have passed. But when you’re in Outer Space, anything can happen.

@donp3997 3 месяца назад

Ok class. What lesson did we learn today? Don't go cheap on the VR Goggles when you go on a deep space voyage. That's correct. Always use the latest wireless ones, not the cobbled together ones using vacuum tubes from early television sets.

@johnm8693 3 месяца назад

I love Sci Fi and I don't know what this was trying to tell me. A guy went to deep space and keeps remembering the woman he left behind. OK. Then what? Does he want to be here? What's the pay off? Did he promise her something? Is he going crazy? Will he return to her? This doesn't have any cohesion.

@TheEtbetween 3 месяца назад

No! It took him 90 years to reach that blue planet! So the woman he loved is dead now, so he don’t see no reason for him to go back. Cause all he have is memories that he’s recapturing with the headsets

@Elmo-the-Ohioan-62 3 месяца назад

Another person commented about the psyche of the astronaut. People were meant to be with people no matter what the psych eval says. A person might go crazy by themselves, but wouldn't it be nice if the astronauts had their wives with them and/ or if they were 90 years out and their family would be in cryo on Earth until they get back. That way, their family would not be dead when they get back. In addition to that, the astronaut could still have a wife who's also an astronaut with him. Critical, logical thinking is the key to the mystery.

@johnkennedy4023 3 месяца назад

Good movie. Mnemosyne is alive and tries to seduce the miner by using his memories. She uses EM interference and his memories to keep him from sending her coordinates. She doesn't want to be mined to death. The crab in the sand indicates that the life is hidden. She realizes that the meteor strike has rendered her efforts moot

@dplj4428 Месяц назад

90 years and the love. So he does not want nor need earth. Is that another 90 back?

Interesting and important. Mnemosyne...how far away is that? Is it related to finding Nemo?

@Sarah-gw3ng 3 месяца назад

There's an ancient Maori love story, Hinemoa and Tūtānekai, Lake Rotorua, New Zealand, maybe a line to "King" Tut. Does this guy Castille or Castillo have ancestry to that? He seems to call the guy on the radio both Jordan and Jorgens.

So, we are now an advanced civilization, mining far away moons and we've invented spaceships with artificial gravity ! Then how come he's using a computer from the 1990s which by the way is using an even older phosphor vacuume tube for it's display (a vallve). Sorry but I can't suspend reality to accept this !

No one would leave their lover for a 90-year, one way trip. She died before he left or he wishes that she had not left him before he left earth... Why would he promise to be back? Space drunk fantasies.
