What do you see kaneda

A ship called Icarus I was sent to deliver an enormous nuclear bomb but disappeared and has not been heard from for seven years. The plan: drop it into the star and hope the explosion triggers a second life. Naturally, a contentious debate breaks out about a rescue, as it would jeopardize their own mission, but the prospect of two bombs rather than one is compelling.

And a great moment is born. The Captain is Kaneda Hiroyuki Sanada , who is influenced greatly by the engineer, Mace Chris Evans , himself an extremely level-headed and mission-focused officer. Lastly is Robert Capa Cillian Murphy , the onboard physicist who operates the bomb device and is a bit of an outsider from the group, generally lingering in orbit around them, mostly in silence. Much to his dismay though, much rides on his decision-making, and when it comes to changing trajectory, the choice falls on him.

His reaction to doing so is one of great frustration. A plan is quickly formed to send two of the crew out onto the shield wearing specially-designed suits to manually repair the panels with Captain Kaneda and Capa taking the job. Suited up and making the trek to the exposed damage, the men risk their lives as Cassie attempts to angle the ship so they remain in shadow, since the intensity of the Sun magnified on the mirrored surface of the shield would vaporize them both.

The problem though is that during this angular maneuver—keeping Kaneda and Capa in the dark— it exposes the back end of the ship to the harsh rays of the Sun. It means that Kaneda and Capa are going to fry. The moment itself is a sensational bit of filmmaking as it juggles a number of important catastrophes and personal character moments amid the chaos.

The scene itself is a paralyzing moment and Boyle stages it with some spectacular shots that reveal both the extreme claustrophobia of the Sun suits and the immense vastness of the space in which they occupy, giving us a sense of the futility and the humanity of the endeavor. What lengths will we go to ensure others go on?

The story itself is one where the giver of life is given life in return from those that owe it the most. Now, everything about the delivery and effectiveness of that payload in entirely theoretical. Simply put, we don't know if it's gonna work. But what we do know is this: If we had two bombs, we'd have two chances.

Capa : You're assuming we'd be able to pilot Icarus I. Searle : Yes. Kaneda : Which is assuming that whatever stopped them wasn't a fault or damage to the spacecraft. Mace : That's a lot of assumptions. Capa : It's the problem right there. Between the boosters and the gravity of the sun the velocity of the payload will get so great that space and time will become smeared together and everything will distort.

Everything will be unquantifiable. Kaneda : You have to come down on one side or the other. I need a decision. Capa : It's not a decision, it's a guess. It's like flipping a coin and asking me to decide whether it will be heads or tails. Kaneda : And? Capa : Heads We harvested all Earth's resources to make this payload. This is humanity's last chance Searle's argument is sound. Two last chances are better than one.
