I watched Project Hail Mary again today after having only just watched it yesterday for the first time. Almost developed some sort of addiction.
I couldn’t figure out why, before, every time I thought about this movie I cried, until I read someone’s review. This movie forced us to see the bright side of unknowns, embrace and remind ourselves constantly of the beautiful things in life. Life is beautiful and we just have to be in the moment like Grace in the Petrova Line. I felt the pores of my brain open when I watched that scene. I really struggle to put that feeling into words. This movie is so full of love and colourful energy that I feel blessed, and indeed by this amazing grace. I’m so thankful and I will always remember to live in the moment, and see the beautiful things with my eyes. Life is beautiful and every moment is beautiful. It’s great to be alive. It’s great to be human :)
I always think movies are truly the best art created by humans. When I watch them, I get to take part of the main character’s personality with me. I lived their stories with them, and at the end I get to keep my part. Grace is smart, brave and so kind. He’s such a good main character but this time I don’t feel excluded and just get to admire the ‘hero’. He gave me love and courage and something even softer, that slowed down my time, and calmed me down into the present. He made me realise my ‘main character obsession’ (for my whole life I’ve been having this fear that I’m just an NPC, I’m never the chosen one. It could never be me) is just about becoming someone good at what they do, but most importantly having a brave heart to face the unknown and push through the hardest times. Even though he is lucky that he met Rocky, it’s not like typical protagonist luck. He felt real, and I’m glad I get to keep part of him in my heart.
I’m very bad at telling stories and this is my first attempt at writing a movie review. So please forgive me if I sound repetitive.
And at last… Amaze. Amaze. Amaze. 👎🏼👎🏼
