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 
Holy shit I saw it for the first time like 2 nights ago and thad similar thoughts. Just made me kind of sad. Like a little misty as I thought “I wish we could have a world more like that instead”.
It’s a perfectly alright film. I don’t have much to say about it otherwise.
