I rewatched The Martian and totally forgot how optimistic this movie is about technology, America, and international relations 
when this movie came out in 2015 my little liberal ass loved it. i still believed in a future.
we dont even have bazinga mars nerds anymore just different flavors of “i wont eat the bugs” all clawing at each other to climb out of a pit rapidly filling with water
xi i will scrub toilets please give me a K visa 
They don’t mention that it was Obama’s fault, but when China offers to send some supplies I think they mention the ban on NASA working with China that he signed into law
oh yeah there was a cool scene where they speak mandarin but i had subtitles off and by the time i realized i dont know mandarin it was over. typical american L
You’re not missing out. The spoken Mandarin in that movie was extremely bad. I couldn’t even follow as a native speaker.
