Movie Review: Gravity

There are no spoilers in this review.

With Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, plus phenominal special effects, 'Gravity' was going to be great. The deeply moving broad views of earth and stars plus the detailed and profound set dressing of the space crafts would make space travel reality for us. But the writing was exceptional and took me by surprise.

Americans have space travel in their psyche. John F. Kennedy delivered an eloquent, vital speech in 1962, which is often included on California standardized tests for high school graduation (CAHSEE.) You can see it and hear it here:


John F. Kennedy

Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Program

delivered 12 September 1962, Rice Stadium, Houston, Texas

Inspirational? Of course. But JFK compared the struggle of the pioneers, which included great danger and casualties, with the struggle to tame the new frontier of space. No one in NASA or elsewhere was naive enough to think the Space Program would be all success. 

'Gravity' is probably very realistic (I don't know the stats of possible disasters in space.) But Bullock and Clooney give us true people doing their job, expecting the probable when the worst case scenario occurs. Matt Kowalski (Clooney's character) responds with perfect professionalism matching his experience. He follows protocol--but with a heart. Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock's character) is taken by surprise but digs down and references her insufficient training in the astronaut program. She is a biomedical engineer in space to adjust the Hubble satellite.

The plot matches any action/adventure, but the characters rival any great drama.

George Clooney's Kowalski has the flavor of  'The Right Stuff,' which is a great movie to view along with this one.

The Right Stuff

The reactions of Kowalski and Stone--engineering expertise and guts-- reminded me of 'Apollo 13,' a film which dramatized the actual near fatal flight of  Jim Lovell's spacecraft in 1970. Tom Hanks played Lovell. I'm sure in 'Gravity' Kowalsi would have sarcastically quoted those famous words, "Houston, we have a problem," if Houston could hear. This is another good film to supplement 'Gravity' with--

Apollo 13

The writers of 'Gravity' use sparse words to expose the characters. We suddenly feel for them; care what happens because they become people to us. The writers gave Clooney and Bullock a great gift, and they gave us a great gift. 

The action elevates and there is a scene that reminded me of information I've read about the Challenger disaster. There were several seconds before the explosion and the disintegration of the spacecraft in the Atlantic. What would you be thinking? There are several profound moments that Sandra Bullock takes Ryan Stone to the heights of Shakespearean monologue in 'Gravity.' I had read before seeing this film to 'try not to scream'  as you watch this film, but it actually brought tears to my eyes, and I'm not that emotional at movies.

Columbia crew 2003.

The film doesn't directly implicate any themes--but sacrifice, human resilience, and the meaning of life resonate with me. Given the track record of the Space Program in heroic determination despite losses, I would say 'Gravity' is a salute to those who did give their lives to pursue the next frontier. We have records of  lost American Astronauts, and  probably not too accurate accounting for Russian
Challenger crew 1983.
Cosmonauts or Chinese Taikonauts. This movie gives us a close up and personal view of  our 'star sailors', as well as the Russian 'universe sailors' and Chinese 'space traveling personnel.'

Global Plant a Tree Day! (And the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi)

The volunteer elm I will put in the ground today. That's its parent to the right background.
Today, 10/4/13, is Global Plant a Tree Day. It is also the feast of St. Francis of Assisi who lived in 12th century Italy before the denominational division in the Church, so all Christians love and accept him. The new Pope took his name, Pope Francis I. I thought I would mention Francis because he is also probably the first Animal Rights activist, known particularly for interacting with birds-- and the planting of trees, of course, provides better habitat for birds. I am blessed with a wonderful array of bird families in my Mojave Desert home. And when I was a little girl, my first pet bird, a canary with a lovely song, I named Francis.

This winter St. Francis will be offering seed to my birds.
St. Francis was also a great supporter of the poor. Which is why Pope Francis took his name. Although St. Francis was born wealthy (his father was a merchant), when he came back from serving in one of the Italian wars of his time, he was very ill. After his recovery, he dramatically changed from the rich, spoiled, let-the-good-times-roll young man and said he had experienced metanoia--being spiritually born again-and believed the Lord wanted him to rebuild  a local poor, broken down church, St. Damians. His heart was now turned to the poor folks, much like Jesus. Actually, he is more like Jesus than probably any other of the saints, in my opinion. He kept a balance of meditation and prayer with human contact and a vibrant sense of nature and enjoying people. He also wrote prose, poetry and music, very eloquently. And I'm proud to state my middle name is Frances, although my mother had no religious reasons for doing that, I'm glad she did. Francis (and Frances) mean Free.

Here is the prayer St. Francis is still famous for. With lots of grace, I try to live by it.

 And a lovely presentation of the prayer as a hymn.

Masada: The Lord Is Good And A Stronghold In The Day Of Trouble

Masada, Isarael

 Be Encouraged - William Becton (WOW Gospel 1998 Disc 1) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGWS1BfNLEM&feature=related 

Psalm 91

King James Version (KJV)
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place (masada) of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
