The lonely scientist: a reflection on the emotions of Dr. Grace.

  I watched one of the movies that I was anticipating for this year. Of course, together with "The Disclosure Day" by Steven Spielberg. But instead of a regular movie review and what I found about the movie, maybe I will go deeper into the main character, Ryland Grace, who was played by Ryan Gosling. The movie is a classic Sci-Fi with an imagined problem and a very complex saga development. The menace of a living being that feeds on photons from the Sun was very creative for sure. But the whole character of Dr. Grace created something, maybe even some reflections about me.

  My first conclusion about Dr. Grace was, come on, they created an Ethan Hunt from Mission: Impossible but being originally a Molecular Biologist. Since he was smart in molecular biology and biology in biology and basic scientific knowledge. But he also could navigate himself through the universe and solve different problems requiring other skills such as electronics. I promise you that we are trained in molecular biology, and we focus a lot on the molecules that form and make life sustainable in its mechanics.

  But Dr. Grace, despite all his smartness, still thought for a long time that he was a failure. There are parts of the movies that he even doesn't know how to deal with compliments. I really saw myself in those moments. In addition to moments where he feared the next step, and he was mostly pushed into facing his fears, including the mission which he tried to escape and they had to induce his coma before everyone else. But also in a moment that he needs to do the first space walk of his life and he looks down and see the infinite space below, he just goes back and tries to give up, but he is forced outside of the spaceship by the elasticity properties of the cable that was holding him.

  The loneliness, lack of confidence, and the constant negligence of his own intelligence made me feel like living with this character. But on top of that, he showed a very strong instinct of survival, and the necessity to find ways to continue living without knowing many of the skills previously, like piloting a spaceship. I think I have a bit of that, and maybe my brain would help me in a similar problem like that since I do; not sure if I would solve all the problems that Dr.Grace faced, but for sure I would die trying, like he almost did.

  In the end, he found a way to complete what was missing in his soul, a friend who gave him what he needed. A friendship, a huge sacrifice for him when nobody else did that. Sometimes we do so much for others, and we never expect people to do anything for us because we just think that we don't deserve it. But when someone breaks this, it just opens some doors that were never opened. Maybe there are many people like Dr.Grace out there, and I really thank that movie for showing me that maybe even I am capable of doing things that I consider impossible in this moment.

 Assisti a um dos filmes que mais aguardava este ano. Claro, junto com "O Dia da Revelação", de Steven Spielberg. Mas, em vez de uma crítica comum sobre o filme, talvez eu me aprofunde no personagem principal, Ryland Grace, interpretado por Ryan Gosling. O filme é um clássico da ficção científica, com um problema hipotético e uma trama complexa. A ameaça de um ser vivo que se alimenta de fótons do Sol foi, sem dúvida, muito criativa. Mas o personagem do Dr. Grace, em si, me fez refletir, talvez até mesmo sobre mim.

  Minha primeira conclusão sobre o Dr. Grace foi: vamos lá, eles criaram um Ethan Hunt de Missão Impossível, mas originalmente um biólogo molecular. Afinal, ele era inteligente em biologia molecular e biologia, além de ter conhecimentos científicos básicos. Mas ele também conseguia se orientar pelo universo e resolver diversos problemas que exigiam outras habilidades, como eletrônica. Garanto que somos treinados em biologia molecular e nos concentramos bastante nas moléculas que formam e tornam a vida sustentável em sua mecânica.

 Mas o Dr. Grace, apesar de toda a sua inteligência, ainda se considerava um fracasso por muito tempo. Há partes do filme em que ele nem sabe como lidar com elogios. Eu me identifiquei muito com esses momentos. Além dos momentos em que ele temia o próximo passo e era constantemente forçado a enfrentar seus medos, incluindo a missão da qual tentou escapar e na qual tiveram que induzi-lo ao coma antes de todos os outros. Mas também num momento em que ele precisa fazer a primeira caminhada espacial da sua vida e olha para baixo e vê o espaço infinito abaixo, ele simplesmente recua e tenta desistir, mas é forçado para fora da nave espacial pelas propriedades elásticas do cabo que o prendia.

 A solidão, a falta de confiança e a constante negligência da sua própria inteligência me fizeram sentir como se eu vivesse com esse personagem. Mas, além disso, ele demonstrou um instinto de sobrevivência muito forte e a necessidade de encontrar maneiras de continuar vivendo sem dominar muitas das habilidades que possuía anteriormente, como pilotar uma nave espacial. Acho que tenho um pouco disso, e talvez meu cérebro me ajudasse em um problema semelhante, já que eu tenho; Não tenho certeza se eu resolveria todos os problemas que o Dr. Grace enfrentou, mas com certeza eu morreria tentando, como ele quase morreu.

  No fim, ele encontrou uma maneira de completar o que faltava em sua alma: um amigo que lhe deu o que ele precisava. Uma amizade, um sacrifício enorme da parte dele, já que ninguém mais o fez. Às vezes, fazemos tanto pelos outros e nunca esperamos que façam nada por nós, porque simplesmente achamos que não merecemos. Mas quando alguém quebra esse paradigma, abre portas que nunca estiveram abertas. Talvez existam muitas pessoas como a Dra. Grace por aí, e eu agradeço muito a esse filme por me mostrar que talvez até eu seja capaz de fazer coisas que considero impossíveis neste momento.
