The film we studied was The Martian directed by Ridley Scott. The three main points I will be elaborating more on is the ‘positivity’ of Mark Watney, the ‘Responsible leader’ of Commander Lewis and the ‘Intelligence’ of Benjamin Vogel.

“Hand it over so I can get the hell out of here.” I’m tired, impatient and ready to get this shit wrapped up, so my tone with Riley is a little harsher than I intended. Actually, it’s a lot harsher, but that’s only because I’m hungry and my blood sugar’s getting a little low. I must admit, he’s a nice kid, I’ll give him that. He has a penchant for speed and a fearless disposition that will make him hard to beat when he gets some experience under his belt. With a little guidance from a mentor,…
