The required "help from China" as demanded by the Chinese government in order to approve the distribution of the movie in China. The Chinese government insists on international movies that it is always seen in a positive light whether or not that is the case in fact.
There's a very funny scene in the book, after he's rescued, right after, he's taking off his space suit on the ship and people recoil in shock. He hasn't bathed the whole time.
Yes, millions of dollars were spent to rescue one man. But consider the intangible benefits. If you believe colonizing space is important to the future of humanity, saving Mark would be a tremendous asset. He'd inspire generations of astronauts to follow in his footsteps.
@@situated4 Despite the complete cheesiness this (Hollywood-) movie depicts bravery - and respect - I'm 100% sure it would inspire space survivalists in the real world. It would open up a whole new frontier for many people if someone could survive for that long - by themselves - on Mars.
There will never be a colonization of space. Never. First of all, a trip to Mars is a suicide mission, and any other planet, habitable or not is WAY too far away for us to reach, and again, would be a suicide mission anyways. The gamma radiation in space will kill us. Period.
This was more inline with the book, the movie changed the overall theme of the ending from mankind's drive to help somebody in need and pulling togeather to save a mans life to one person magivering his way through things. The speech he gives here is almost verbatim from the last lines of the book.
Disagree. Rotating-station spectacle is accurate and engrossing. Speech is thought-provoking and sums up the theme of the film. Shouldn't have been cut.
Books tell stories in different ways to films. I don't believe the film ever leans towards painting Watney as some kind of lone survivalist hero. Its point is that human ingenuity can only get us so far: we all need to come together as people to overcome the biggest challenges. That's also the ethos upon which modern science is based.
Never quite agreed with this ending in the book. It's not bad, but there was more to it. With every step we take into the unknown of space exploration, we are trying to put our best foot forward. It's the hope of a clean slate, for humanity to start again with all the combined knowledge and understanding we have, to reach out with our very best. Leaving someone behind would not have fit into this.
Matt L: Wait a sec...the books ends with Watleys' reflections on being alive and just how complicated is the human condition. It's a bit sappy at times, yet with extensive dialog changes and an added scene, the movie ends the same way. Your not liking the book ending makes little sense. A good movie...a great book. And the latter was made even better in audio form by the performance of R.C. Bray. Wow. Fantastic stuff.
Not necessarily. Not if the hero left a message both on paper and in the sand: My bones will not rest until others come to bury me...and come to continue our explorations into the frontier that never ends.
Mark: Commander? I cant let you go through with this. I am prepared to cut the suit! Commander Lewis: Absolutely not! Mark: You see... The thing is I am selfish.... I want all the memorials back home to be about me! Commander Lewis: I should've left this guy on Mars!
It would've been filler for the ending. I'm glad they ended the hard part like they did, with him safely getting into the spacecraft and reuniting with his crewmates, before fading to black and fading back to when he's an instructor, months afterwards. I mean, why bother with any more time in space when it's practically official that he's safe? "Get out at the nearest possible moment" is a storytelling rule for a reason.

@@KatieSteedArt1 Films always have to cut some stuff. I thought they did a great job. My one and only gripe was taking the stupid throw away line about being Iron Man from the book and making it real. In the movie it's ridiculous and probably one of the only things that isn't scientifically accurate
@@jcollishaw I know but I just find the swapping out of Beck for Lewis to save Whatney at the end super annoying. I'm a woman so its not that I'm anti women getting more powerful roles in films, it's just that going outside the ship is *specifically* what Beck has been trained to do. He goes outside when the probe docks with them for example. The commander/captain of a ship - leaving their ship - is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen and I hate it because it makes her character look dumb too. I don't understand how the commander getting Whatney MORE exciting?
@@KatieSteedArt1 oh yeah I forgot about that. Just for dramatic effect. The movie going public love their heroic commanders. Though it was an annoying change. But I thought most other changes reduced the run time without cutting to much. Frying pathfinder, the dust storm, crashing the rover etc all would have dragged the movie to long. It kept the majority of the early story which told enough. But that whole scene of rescuing him from the MAV was kind of ruined by those changes I kind of liked though how in the book there was a line along the lines of "if this was a movie, it would be like this.". Then hey presto in the movie it's exactly like that
@@obidamnkenobi There actually was a ship called the Mark Watney mentioned in one of the Expanse books (Calliban's War, I believe). I don't think it was actually MCRN............
If they made the movie today, the rest of the crew would have to be Asian, European and African. The fact that this movie showed this to be an American Crew makes you think.
@@ren.sparks In another recent movie, they edited US Flags out of historical footage to be more inclusive. Hollywood is being inclusive in casting even when no such inclusivity existed. So, I'm saying if they made this movie today I would expect them to cast a wider spectrum of actors because it is the thing to do.
@@eddarby469 what movie are you talking about. I know that they go overboard with “diversity” for no reason sometimes I just thought in this context it didn’t make sense cause the crew already had a hispanic guy and the german guy lol
In real life, the crew of Apollo 13 had that as well, even though there wasn't much anybody back here could do. What is interesting, though, is that no three people in human history have ever had as many people praying (to whatever deities they believed in) for them. Religious people all over the world were praying for their safe return. Whether someone believes that does anything or not, it was an event that did happen. It would be difficult to find a more unifying event in history that brought the whole world together yearning for a particular desired outcome.
oh my god, are you and your family okay! I really hope everyone got the warning and the town was evacuated before the hurricane's arrival, and I'm really sorry for what happened :(
I watched it with this scene in. Ot was fine. But a parable is always better left unexplained by the teller. It is for the hearer/observer to interpret. Good cut.
I once read an earlier version of the book. A relic from way back when the book was just a series of chapters posted on Andy Weir's website, before it went through any editorial process. That version ended with Mark Watney yelling profanities at a small child. I would have liked to see that one put on film.
@@alixir3010 I don't remember the exact wording, but basically Mark was stopped in the street by a family with a small child, and they started asking him questions. In the end the kid asked him if he's going back to space and he responded with "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?"
Yeah, I can see why they cut it. They don't need to point out the "why", as he said, "it's what we do", and to give it some fictional dollar value adds nothing positive to the story.
“This instinct is found in every culture, without exception.” I’m reminded of the Romans (and others), who would abandon their own children if something was amiss, or if the child was of the wrong sex. I could mention certain other cultural practices, but I won’t. Certainly, the instinct is found in the hearts of humans in every culture, but the idea that individuals matter is not universally honored at the level of culture.
Culture can override instinct. Or it's possible that there is thinks we think are instinctual that are actually driven into us as a culture from such a young age that we don't even realize that they aren't instincts. But humanity doesn't actually have a rich history of helping each other. Most of the time in our history, we've someone as weak as someone to exploit or to despise. The limits of humanities compassion for one another normally extend only to members of their own tribe. It's worth noting that every tribe in North America word for itself as was "people" and all the other tries were explicitly "not people", not even necessarily belonging to the same creation. And, really, were our Scot or Viking tribal ancestors so different from that? Most of my ancestors were praying to God that they would be spared from the wrath of my other ancestors, and with good cause.
I always felt a deep loneliness in him in these final scenes due to his life changing experience that nobody else can truly fathom. I think I empathise with him more than I have any real reason to.
In reality it would take a while for Mark and the rest of the crew to get used to earths gravity after living in an environment of weightlessness for so long.
At first I misremembered his role in the Martian with Interstellar, I was like... lol so he killed McConaughey and Hathaway then took their spaceship so he could come back to earth !? What a plot twist ! No wonder they deleted this ending! Then I was like oh, meh...
I would have liked to see that in the movie - not the cutting room floor - it shows that he understood and appreciated being alive and the people that made it possible .... and it also reminds US ALL that we are all in this TOGETHER !!!
To be fair though, the director of the CDC lied about mask effectiveness, then admitted they were helpful. In the US at least, coverage has been very political instead of scientific. And when one of your lead scientists lies.....
Most humans have during the pandemic. He's talking here about the general response of humanity, not something you can universally apply to every single person.
Found this randomly and this is of great relevance now. During the pandemic some people seem to deny this part of humanity and say "oh, 3000 people die every day - ah, f*ck it, they're old anyway"...
One of the best novel to screen translations to be sure, but they should have left the part where his rover/trailer overturns in the book within the movie. It was the slap my forehead moment in the book on top of everything else. It was a major act in the book and I imagine they probably didn't do it because it would have made it too long and interrupt the whole ascent ship reconfiguration effort as they took us to the movie climax.
It would've been nice to see him eat his first complete meal on the Hermes, preferably with the rest of the crew sitting at the table frozen, mid chew or with a mouthful, in disgust as Mark devours his food.
@Alpha Centauri yeah that's not. Reason to look in disgust if you have half a brain and know your friend fucking almost starved to death for almost a year and need with all his body some calories. Thank god they are not as dumb as the guy who thought they would be disgusted
As emaciated as he got, they would have forced him to use a limited diet with small portions for the first day or two just to get his digestive system going again.
Having looked at this scene I noticed 2 things that wouldn't have even crossed my mind 4 years ago... 1) This beautiful spacecraft: www.sncorp.com/what-we-do/dream-chaser-space-vehicle/ and 2) the new class of Astronauts (since NASA is currently hiring for astronauts now: www.nasa.gov/press-release/explorers-wanted-nasa-to-hire-more-artemis-generation-astronauts/) apologies for links, but for those who aren't in the know... now you are
It's contextual. He was talking about moments of tragedy among relatively small numbers of people being aided by the larger population. Human nature gets complicated when problems grow larger than they feel they can control. Some will step up to be sure but in times of extreme hardship people generally end up looking out for themselves first. Sometimes to the detriment of others. Stalin's quote about tragedy vs statistics illustrates this fairly well. It's fucked up to be sure but truthful when it comes to how people behave or react when confronted with something that seems to have momentum to great to change by an individual.
The words in this scene seem like they are taken directly from the book, and that’s nice, but as mentioned in other comments, the viewer doesn’t need reminding about something that’s been implied throughout the entire film. The images of the Hermes rotating around Earth are pretty cool, however. 🤙🏼
No. And that was explained in the book. The plutonium pellets are fully encased in "shells" (it's early and I can't think of the right word), which are then encased in the RTG. When Mark picks up the RTG while prepping to go to Pathfinder (they think he's prepping to go to Schiaparelli) around Day 65, Venkat tells Teddy that the TFG is safe to be near. He says: "Even if the RTG breaks open, he'd be fine if the pellets inside don't break. But if the pellets break too, he's a dead man." (That's my best memory of the quote - too lazy to dig up my copy and check.)
We humans will never travel space like these people do in the movies. We went from storming beaches to cowering behind a couch for a 99.2 percent survival rate covid. Oh and us humans are too hooked on material things, money and power. Until we break away from that and actually helped the human species then we will never travel the stars.
Starship SN8 is preparing for flight testing before the year is out :). Suffered some engine damage but the engines where replaced. Should get people to Mars in the 2024-28 timeframe up to a hundred per ship with a thousand ships minimum being planned with each ship doing about 10 trips to Mars and back to transfer a minimum of a million people and a million tons of cargo. Despite setbacks the program has been going very well and is fully funded by the owner of the company and ever increasing investments.
As much as I love this film, I'm glad that this scene got deleted. I absolutely disagree when Watney says "every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out." No. In fact, it's much harder to find people who helps out than those who would go out of their ways to hurt others, assuming it'll benefit themselves.
I mean, you think the government would spend millions to save one regular person? Hell no. The only reason people saved him was because of all the PR nightmare NASA would face if they didn't even try. More importantly, as Watney said, it was what he represented. Science. Progress. etc.
Sorry for commenting on this 4 years later, but personally, I disagree. I think your perception of who would help depends on the company you keep. Cruelty isn't innate. It's learned. Self defense is innate, and sometimes people do cruel things because they feel threatened, but I think most people, if they can help someone, will do it without question.
@@IzzyKawaiichi I disagree with what you said. Most people refuse to donate, even if they can afford it, because they much prefer to use the resource for themselves, however little it may be. Yeah, there are people who donate, but most people don't. In fact, relative to people who genuinely help (not as a job nor as a social obligation), there are FAR more criminals who harm others (physically, psychologically, financially, etc).
@@michaelsong5555 Woah, hang on. If you want to say "most people don't donate money" to... some cause-- which may or may not be one that you support-- I might be in agreement there. But when it comes to helping a situation right in front of you, I think most people will do their best. On the other hand, maybe it's a cultural thing. I live in a country now where "keeping face" is highly valued and sometimes people won't help if you, say, trip and fall all over yourself because it's perceived as more embarrassing for you if they acknowledge you just embarrassed yourself. But foreigners will usually come to a person's aid in that situation, and, coming from a culture where "keeping face" is not as highly valued, I would help someone. Most people I know would help someone. Anyway, I think we're talking about two different things.
@@IzzyKawaiichi That's why I specifically excluded "social obligation", since that isn't because of some genuine desire to help. And if we remove "consequence" of doing crime, then it's pretty obvious where in the moral meter the general populace belongs.
He's basically quoting Colonel Dubois from the book, "Starship Troopers" in which Heinlein describes this instinctive human behavior in contrast with the arachnids... and concludes that it may well be what wins us the galaxy.
More like Johnnie Rico thinking on human nature in general. Didnt seem like a H & MP lecture but rather a memory of a news story, repeated over and over in different places in time.
Thank you to anyone who's read the book, and of course Mr. Heinlein for writing it. I'm not a big fan of the first movie, it's okay but misses the mark a bit, for me at least. Admittedly it's always a difficult task turning a book into a movie and staying true to it 100%, it just seldom works the same way. I have not seen the follow-up productions of the Starship Troopers storyline, so I can't comment; if you have and enjoyed them, good.
@@bobblum5973 I would say dont waste your time. If Verhoeven had decided to change the movie names and character names, no one would even have a clue he based it on what he had "heard" (since he never actually read) Starship Troopers. The other movies were more of the same waste of time. The Roughnecks Chronicles, the animated series, wasnt too bad as science fiction goes. It still wasnt the ST story as written by Heinlein.
@@jefferydraper4019 Thanks for the "warning". 😉 I certainly haven't made an effort to watch those follow-on productions. Too many classic Sci-fi novels I've read lost a lot in translation to movies and TV, Heinlein's in particular. _Destination Moon_ is an exception, but he was directly involved with it. I keep seeing attempts to produce his juvenile novel _Have Spacesuit Will Travel,_ to the point where it was listed on IMDB, but it disappeared. I never saw the recent version of _A Wrinkle In Time_ but the teasers I saw did not impress me. A younger viewer without decades of ideas of what it "should" look like might enjoy it, I won't argue I'm biased. ☺
@@bobblum5973 I would love to see HSWT. It was the very first novel I ever read. My much older brother brought it home from the HS library and I borrowed it. Years later I found the exact same 1st edition in a used bookstore and still have it. Books are hard to make into movies due to length. Science Fiction especially since they require some kind of explanation of setting before the story begins for most people to relate. Bujolds Vorkosigan series, a great read, suffers from that. So does Webers Honor Harrington series. Even Dune in theaters was a failure as so much had to be cut in 1984. Im afraid Villanueves version will not attract nonscience fiction fans because of the requirement to watch both parts to understand and finish it.
Everyone shows him the respect he earned by embodying the values of every branch of the military and aerospace organization. He did what many would have thought impossible. He improvised, adapted and overcame his shitty situation in so many ways that you can't help but to respect him because quite frankly he earned that respect. His experience will be studied and parts of his ingenuity would be implemented into redundant and primary systems and procedures going forward.
It's an interesting juxtaposition. The spoken words are largely from the book but the scene (both deleted and the academy scene that made it) are completely the work of the movie writers.
This is a good movie but the scenes on Earth were almost boring, frustratingly annoying and...just 'Eh.' No hate please cause I love the movie but those scenes on Earth weren't that good.

Never quite agreed with this ending in the book. It's not bad, but there was more to it. With every step we take into the unknown of space exploration, we are trying to put our best foot forward. It's the hope of a clean slate, for humanity to start again with all the combined knowledge and understanding we have, to reach out with our very best. Leaving someone behind would not have fit into this.
Matt L: Wait a sec...the books ends with Watleys' reflections on being alive and just how complicated is the human condition. It's a bit sappy at times, yet with extensive dialog changes and an added scene, the movie ends the same way. Your not liking the book ending makes little sense. A good movie...a great book. And the latter was made even better in audio form by the performance of R.C. Bray. Wow. Fantastic stuff.
Not necessarily.
Not if the hero left a message both on paper and in the sand: My bones will not rest until others come to bury me...and come to continue our explorations into the frontier that never ends.
Mark: Commander? I cant let you go through with this. I am prepared to cut the suit!
Commander Lewis: Absolutely not!
Mark: You see... The thing is I am selfish.... I want all the memorials back home to be about me!
Commander Lewis: I should've left this guy on Mars!
How about not covering half of the scene with stupid adds?

Part two: Everyone left Earth for Mars but they forgot one.
The Martian is one of the very few, if not, only movie that I have watched over 5 times all the way through and not get bored of the story
This Should Have Been In The Movie!!
It was kind of at the end. Just the part of him in the spacecraft gazing over the Earth was cut.
And the speech, it was in the book but not at earth, just after he was rescued, it was another log entry.
I agree!
It would've been filler for the ending. I'm glad they ended the hard part like they did, with him safely getting into the spacecraft and reuniting with his crewmates, before fading to black and fading back to when he's an instructor, months afterwards. I mean, why bother with any more time in space when it's practically official that he's safe? "Get out at the nearest possible moment" is a storytelling rule for a reason.

IF ONLY what he said was true....
I wish the movie was longer, I didn't want it to end ;-;
I wish it was more like the book tbh.
That's what she said.
@@KatieSteedArt1 Films always have to cut some stuff. I thought they did a great job. My one and only gripe was taking the stupid throw away line about being Iron Man from the book and making it real. In the movie it's ridiculous and probably one of the only things that isn't scientifically accurate
@@jcollishaw I know but I just find the swapping out of Beck for Lewis to save Whatney at the end super annoying.
I'm a woman so its not that I'm anti women getting more powerful roles in films, it's just that going outside the ship is *specifically* what Beck has been trained to do. He goes outside when the probe docks with them for example.
The commander/captain of a ship - leaving their ship - is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen and I hate it because it makes her character look dumb too.
I don't understand how the commander getting Whatney MORE exciting?
@@KatieSteedArt1 oh yeah I forgot about that. Just for dramatic effect. The movie going public love their heroic commanders. Though it was an annoying change. But I thought most other changes reduced the run time without cutting to much. Frying pathfinder, the dust storm, crashing the rover etc all would have dragged the movie to long. It kept the majority of the early story which told enough. But that whole scene of rescuing him from the MAV was kind of ruined by those changes
I kind of liked though how in the book there was a line along the lines of "if this was a movie, it would be like this.". Then hey presto in the movie it's exactly like that
Wow. This was good. Shouldn't have deleted it from the movie.
+Ankur Roy I'm glad it was cut, it was just the theme of the movie which we already know
Bro imagine if this really happened to someone and they got back home they would be a legend
Sort of happened already on a smaller scale with Apollo 13.
bet i'll go do it
And yet 200 years in future on MCRN ship "Mark Watney'' Martian marines are preparing in 1G to have an assault on Earth...
Wait is the ship actually called that?
@@banzeyegaming2234 nah...
Omg there should be a "Watney" ship cameo in the MCRN/expanse!
@@obidamnkenobi
There actually was a ship called the Mark Watney mentioned in one of the Expanse books (Calliban's War, I believe). I don't think it was actually MCRN............
@@banzeyegaming2234 He was referring to the TV show "The Expanse".
The phrase 'an entire planet by my side' is what makes science fiction so great...
If they made the movie today, the rest of the crew would have to be Asian, European and African. The fact that this movie showed this to be an American Crew makes you think.
@@eddarby469bro what are you on about
@@ren.sparks In another recent movie, they edited US Flags out of historical footage to be more inclusive. Hollywood is being inclusive in casting even when no such inclusivity existed. So, I'm saying if they made this movie today I would expect them to cast a wider spectrum of actors because it is the thing to do.
@@eddarby469 what movie are you talking about. I know that they go overboard with “diversity” for no reason sometimes I just thought in this context it didn’t make sense cause the crew already had a hispanic guy and the german guy lol
In real life, the crew of Apollo 13 had that as well, even though there wasn't much anybody back here could do. What is interesting, though, is that no three people in human history have ever had as many people praying (to whatever deities they believed in) for them. Religious people all over the world were praying for their safe return. Whether someone believes that does anything or not, it was an event that did happen. It would be difficult to find a more unifying event in history that brought the whole world together yearning for a particular desired outcome.
They really should have kept the scene where he's sitting and watching Earth from space
Didn't really see that instinct after my home town was flattened by a hurricane and forgotten within 48 hours but okay.
You okay?
oh my god, are you and your family okay! I really hope everyone got the warning and the town was evacuated before the hurricane's arrival, and I'm really sorry for what happened :(
I watched it with this scene in. Ot was fine. But a parable is always better left unexplained by the teller. It is for the hearer/observer to interpret. Good cut.
I once read an earlier version of the book. A relic from way back when the book was just a series of chapters posted on Andy Weir's website, before it went through any editorial process. That version ended with Mark Watney yelling profanities at a small child. I would have liked to see that one put on film.
Elaborate 👀
@@alixir3010 I don't remember the exact wording, but basically Mark was stopped in the street by a family with a small child, and they started asking him questions. In the end the kid asked him if he's going back to space and he responded with "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?"
@@zlozlozlo goddammit I love this guy
Excuse me, If *Trump* got stranded on Mars would we spend the money to save him?
@TheFloopyBoy / / / Keruma I don't know.... I kinda feel bad for any *sentient lifeforms* on Mars.
He needs saving now. He’s President of a nation of idiots.
eddiebruv Seriously?!
I liked hearing the part about how much his rescue cost. From what I remember the ending of the movie could have used more time for him to decompress.
Imagine feeling and seeing a piece of wood after that long journey. There would not be any wood anywhere in space until space travel becomes a luxury.
What is a life worth? No less and no more than my own. To sacrifice mine for another is a worthy choice.
Meh scene, better that it was cut.
Darn your photo
And 5 years later he is stranded in Dalkey due to a Pandemic😷
The sitting and staring out the window needed to be in, but not the speech.
Brandon Hill that'd be so disorienting looking out that window
It's on the book
@@diverpower I know. We are talking about the movie. It doesn't need to be in the movie
@@Obospeedo sure would
Love how they show the DreamChaser in it!
Yeah, I can see why they cut it. They don't need to point out the "why", as he said, "it's what we do", and to give it some fictional dollar value adds nothing positive to the story.
This speech actually comes from the book. And the book was MUCH better than the movie... especially if you listen to the book on Audible.
Matt Damon: Humans have an instinct to help each other.
Thomas Hobbes: *And* to kill each also.
This was in the last page of the book!
“This instinct is found in every culture, without exception.” I’m reminded of the Romans (and others), who would abandon their own children if something was amiss, or if the child was of the wrong sex. I could mention certain other cultural practices, but I won’t. Certainly, the instinct is found in the hearts of humans in every culture, but the idea that individuals matter is not universally honored at the level of culture.
Culture can override instinct. Or it's possible that there is thinks we think are instinctual that are actually driven into us as a culture from such a young age that we don't even realize that they aren't instincts. But humanity doesn't actually have a rich history of helping each other. Most of the time in our history, we've someone as weak as someone to exploit or to despise. The limits of humanities compassion for one another normally extend only to members of their own tribe. It's worth noting that every tribe in North America word for itself as was "people" and all the other tries were explicitly "not people", not even necessarily belonging to the same creation. And, really, were our Scot or Viking tribal ancestors so different from that? Most of my ancestors were praying to God that they would be spared from the wrath of my other ancestors, and with good cause.
An okay movie, but highly overrated.
How is it overated?
The book was better
I always felt a deep loneliness in him in these final scenes due to his life changing experience that nobody else can truly fathom. I think I empathise with him more than I have any real reason to.
Well, at least he didn't crash a spaceship and jeopardize our entire species this time...
Like all democrats, he has the capability to forget the truly important lessons and sink back into the shithole that is his political ideology.
In today's world, not so much.
there is a lot of good will in this scene. It's hunting to think one can overcome such adversity, but he came back stronger. How you like them apples?
I saw what you did there
Nice.
It was not his fault after all
flatearhthers: look it's cgi!!
Shut up. YT algorhythm finally decided a few weeks ago I was definitely not interested in such subjects.
They also deleted the scene with the alien battleships firing phasers.
In reality it would take a while for Mark and the rest of the crew to get used to earths gravity after living in an environment of weightlessness for so long.
Toking weed fixes everything
At first I misremembered his role in the Martian with Interstellar, I was like... lol so he killed McConaughey and Hathaway then took their spaceship so he could come back to earth !? What a plot twist ! No wonder they deleted this ending! Then I was like oh, meh...
I would have liked to see that in the movie - not the cutting room floor - it shows that he understood and appreciated being alive and the people that made it possible .... and it also reminds US ALL that we are all in this TOGETHER !!!
I tried reading this book. It’s just a tad too technical for a layman like myself. Thank god we’ve got Matt Damon here giving us Science for Dummies 😂
How do they exit the artificial gravity room? Do they use ladders to get the 'center'?
Yes - there are ladders in each "spoke" that meet at the hub - where they're weightless until they descend into the rotating part.
"Every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out". Really? Have you seen what's happening with Covid.
here in Pakistan, people are distributing food and supplies on a local street level. Taking care of neighbors.
To be fair though, the director of the CDC lied about mask effectiveness, then admitted they were helpful. In the US at least, coverage has been very political instead of scientific. And when one of your lead scientists lies.....
@@ramishmasood9114 yeah, cuz Pakistan is world famous for caring ahaha ah
Most humans have during the pandemic. He's talking here about the general response of humanity, not something you can universally apply to every single person.
Found this randomly and this is of great relevance now. During the pandemic some people seem to deny this part of humanity and say "oh, 3000 people die every day - ah, f*ck it, they're old anyway"...
One of the best novel to screen translations to be sure, but they should have left the part where his rover/trailer overturns in the book within the movie. It was the slap my forehead moment in the book on top of everything else. It was a major act in the book and I imagine they probably didn't do it because it would have made it too long and interrupt the whole ascent ship reconfiguration effort as they took us to the movie climax.
"basic instinct to help each other out." hah. What happened in Bosnia? Cambodia? or Rwanda?
I love the Martian. Great movie. Truly good space movies are hard to do. Especially non sci fi space movies.
Well considering man has not landed on Mars yet this movie isnt non sci fi its full blown sci fi
Yeah, everyone is important except the most valuable and innocent - unborn babies.
It would've been nice to see him eat his first complete meal on the Hermes, preferably with the rest of the crew sitting at the table frozen, mid chew or with a mouthful, in disgust as Mark devours his food.
Why would they have a look of disgust?
And then he chokes, collapses on the table, and a Martian bursts out of his chest... there’s your sequel.
@Alpha Centauri yeah that's not. Reason to look in disgust if you have half a brain and know your friend fucking almost starved to death for almost a year and need with all his body some calories.
Thank god they are not as dumb as the guy who thought they would be disgusted
As emaciated as he got, they would have forced him to use a limited diet with small portions for the first day or two just to get his digestive system going again.
Having looked at this scene I noticed 2 things that wouldn't have even crossed my mind 4 years ago... 1) This beautiful spacecraft: www.sncorp.com/what-we-do/dream-chaser-space-vehicle/ and 2) the new class of Astronauts (since NASA is currently hiring for astronauts now: www.nasa.gov/press-release/explorers-wanted-nasa-to-hire-more-artemis-generation-astronauts/)
apologies for links, but for those who aren't in the know... now you are
My favourite part from the book, i wish it was in the movie.
Whoever wrote this doesn't know much about history.
"Every human has a basic instinct to help each other out". Wow, that really hasn't aged well.
It's contextual. He was talking about moments of tragedy among relatively small numbers of people being aided by the larger population.
Human nature gets complicated when problems grow larger than they feel they can control. Some will step up to be sure but in times of extreme hardship people generally end up looking out for themselves first. Sometimes to the detriment of others.
Stalin's quote about tragedy vs statistics illustrates this fairly well. It's fucked up to be sure but truthful when it comes to how people behave or react when confronted with something that seems to have momentum to great to change by an individual.
This message needs to be repeatedly for those currently (Aug-2021) engaged in anti-social behavior threatening their fellow man.
Great movie! But cut out 1/3rd of the book, and the ending was a little naff.
TheFluffyDuck the fact he was cutoff most of his time on Mars was pulled out.
The words in this scene seem like they are taken directly from the book, and that’s nice, but as mentioned in other comments, the viewer doesn’t need reminding about something that’s been implied throughout the entire film.
The images of the Hermes rotating around Earth are pretty cool, however. 🤙🏼
This got cut?? I remember seeing it in the theater!
Basically it was a shorter version of the same scene with a different voice-over.
I've never seen blacks sending aid to other people.
I always thought the radiation keeping him warm on the trip was gonna kill him after a short time.
No. And that was explained in the book.
The plutonium pellets are fully encased in "shells" (it's early and I can't think of the right word), which are then encased in the RTG. When Mark picks up the RTG while prepping to go to Pathfinder (they think he's prepping to go to Schiaparelli) around Day 65, Venkat tells Teddy that the TFG is safe to be near. He says:
"Even if the RTG breaks open, he'd be fine if the pellets inside don't break. But if the pellets break too, he's a dead man."
(That's my best memory of the quote - too lazy to dig up my copy and check.)
We humans will never travel space like these people do in the movies. We went from storming beaches to cowering behind a couch for a 99.2 percent survival rate covid. Oh and us humans are too hooked on material things, money and power. Until we break away from that and actually helped the human species then we will never travel the stars.
Starship SN8 is preparing for flight testing before the year is out :). Suffered some engine damage but the engines where replaced. Should get people to Mars in the 2024-28 timeframe up to a hundred per ship with a thousand ships minimum being planned with each ship doing about 10 trips to Mars and back to transfer a minimum of a million people and a million tons of cargo. Despite setbacks the program has been going very well and is fully funded by the owner of the company and ever increasing investments.
Good scene to see, but Im happy with the way it actually ended.
I would have preferred this to the ending scene they decided to go with.
Tremenda pelicula, la vi hace 1 mes atras. Casi lloro.
Saving Private Ryan, but set in outer space?
As much as I love this film, I'm glad that this scene got deleted. I absolutely disagree when Watney says "every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out." No. In fact, it's much harder to find people who helps out than those who would go out of their ways to hurt others, assuming it'll benefit themselves.
I mean, you think the government would spend millions to save one regular person? Hell no. The only reason people saved him was because of all the PR nightmare NASA would face if they didn't even try. More importantly, as Watney said, it was what he represented. Science. Progress. etc.
Sorry for commenting on this 4 years later, but personally, I disagree. I think your perception of who would help depends on the company you keep. Cruelty isn't innate. It's learned. Self defense is innate, and sometimes people do cruel things because they feel threatened, but I think most people, if they can help someone, will do it without question.
@@IzzyKawaiichi I disagree with what you said. Most people refuse to donate, even if they can afford it, because they much prefer to use the resource for themselves, however little it may be. Yeah, there are people who donate, but most people don't. In fact, relative to people who genuinely help (not as a job nor as a social obligation), there are FAR more criminals who harm others (physically, psychologically, financially, etc).
@@michaelsong5555 Woah, hang on. If you want to say "most people don't donate money" to... some cause-- which may or may not be one that you support-- I might be in agreement there. But when it comes to helping a situation right in front of you, I think most people will do their best. On the other hand, maybe it's a cultural thing. I live in a country now where "keeping face" is highly valued and sometimes people won't help if you, say, trip and fall all over yourself because it's perceived as more embarrassing for you if they acknowledge you just embarrassed yourself. But foreigners will usually come to a person's aid in that situation, and, coming from a culture where "keeping face" is not as highly valued, I would help someone. Most people I know would help someone.
Anyway, I think we're talking about two different things.
@@IzzyKawaiichi That's why I specifically excluded "social obligation", since that isn't because of some genuine desire to help. And if we remove "consequence" of doing crime, then it's pretty obvious where in the moral meter the general populace belongs.
But if you're a US citizen left behind in Afghanistan you're SOL.
Yes, after watching this I’m wondering if UA-cam is trolling Joe Biden by putting this back on peoples pages after 5 years.
He's basically quoting Colonel Dubois from the book, "Starship Troopers" in which Heinlein describes this instinctive human behavior in contrast with the arachnids... and concludes that it may well be what wins us the galaxy.
More like Johnnie Rico thinking on human nature in general. Didnt seem like a H & MP lecture but rather a memory of a news story, repeated over and over in different places in time.
Thank you to anyone who's read the book, and of course Mr. Heinlein for writing it. I'm not a big fan of the first movie, it's okay but misses the mark a bit, for me at least. Admittedly it's always a difficult task turning a book into a movie and staying true to it 100%, it just seldom works the same way. I have not seen the follow-up productions of the Starship Troopers storyline, so I can't comment; if you have and enjoyed them, good.
@@bobblum5973 I would say dont waste your time. If Verhoeven had decided to change the movie names and character names, no one would even have a clue he based it on what he had "heard" (since he never actually read) Starship Troopers. The other movies were more of the same waste of time.
The Roughnecks Chronicles, the animated series, wasnt too bad as science fiction goes. It still wasnt the ST story as written by Heinlein.
@@jefferydraper4019 Thanks for the "warning". 😉 I certainly haven't made an effort to watch those follow-on productions. Too many classic Sci-fi novels I've read lost a lot in translation to movies and TV, Heinlein's in particular. _Destination Moon_ is an exception, but he was directly involved with it. I keep seeing attempts to produce his juvenile novel _Have Spacesuit Will Travel,_ to the point where it was listed on IMDB, but it disappeared.
I never saw the recent version of _A Wrinkle In Time_ but the teasers I saw did not impress me. A younger viewer without decades of ideas of what it "should" look like might enjoy it, I won't argue I'm biased. ☺
@@bobblum5973 I would love to see HSWT. It was the very first novel I ever read. My much older brother brought it home from the HS library and I borrowed it. Years later I found the exact same 1st edition in a used bookstore and still have it.
Books are hard to make into movies due to length. Science Fiction especially since they require some kind of explanation of setting before the story begins for most people to relate.
Bujolds Vorkosigan series, a great read, suffers from that. So does Webers Honor Harrington series. Even Dune in theaters was a failure as so much had to be cut in 1984. Im afraid Villanueves version will not attract nonscience fiction fans because of the requirement to watch both parts to understand and finish it.
Maybe if Matt Damon's life depended on us doing something about climate change we might make some progress.
There is the matter of cost benefits and priorities.
Glad they left this out.
I was actually expecting Jimmy Kimmel to pop out and give Matt a hard time.
this is my favorite part from the book
is it because of the irony due to his conclusion was incorrect?
They deleted because it sounded a bit like lovells speech at the end Apollo 13.
But i would still have had it in the movie
HOW DARE YOU DELETE ANY SCENE FROM THE MOVIE!!!
This is a bit idealistic for my tastes...
It sounds kind of like a steam roller rolling on the pavement!
Its great that they used Dream Chaser. Love that little guy
Everyone shows him the respect he earned by embodying the values of every branch of the military and aerospace organization. He did what many would have thought impossible. He improvised, adapted and overcame his shitty situation in so many ways that you can't help but to respect him because quite frankly he earned that respect. His experience will be studied and parts of his ingenuity would be implemented into redundant and primary systems and procedures going forward.
All while enjoying the comforts of his trailer, in between shooting scenes in a movie.
It's an interesting juxtaposition. The spoken words are largely from the book but the scene (both deleted and the academy scene that made it) are completely the work of the movie writers.
I love the underdeveloped CGI in the background lol
Che Alejandro cinematography
Hahaha Mark clearly didn't live through the same 2020 we did lmao
Actually this is the theme of this movie/novel. This scene must have been in the movie
They should have left him there.
This is a good movie but the scenes on Earth were almost boring, frustratingly annoying and...just 'Eh.' No hate please cause I love the movie but those scenes on Earth weren't that good.
oh fuck why did they delete it shit
