Gravity was the coolest metaphor-driven film ever. It a emotional survival story but it has been told with absolutely no melodrama. The storytelling is pretty straightforward
This story is her discovery of her centre of "Gravity". Even in the darkest hour, for her to look at the sun thats rising from the horizon. To understand what it means to come through the ring of fire, feel the sand under her feet and stand tall.
The visual wizardry sets a new level in filmmaking. The deafening silence of space sudden being broken by a bunch of silver fish-like debris that fly right to you as the protagonist wheels herself out of these unfathomable near death situations. It freaked me out when everytime.
She she is not in her natural comfort zone, has lost her sense of direction, and is completely disoriented from the core. This detachment and her dis-comfortableness is not only physically. The father-like, inner conscience guides her to stand up to face her fears, to push her to cut her false safety nets (or parachutes) and to whole-heartedly live her life again. This detachment and her dis-comfortableness is not only physically.
The Indian astronaut, who despite being a respectable person who had studied in the prestigious Harvard Univ., feel a child-like joy and, in fact, is euphoric by his weightless experience of being in outer space. In sharp contrast, she is stiff (like her last name: Stone) and detached. She is as good as someone lost in the deafening silence of space. With air to breath running out and nobody to even hear her plight over the radio, her spirit barely hanging in there. She realises that she is her own rescue mission. This story is her discovery of her centre of "Gravity". Even in the darkest hour, for her to look at the sun, rising from the horizon. To understand what it means to come through the ring of fire, feel the sand under your feet and stand tall. So, will she find her way back "home" from the horrors of outer space?
