Just as Hugh Glass was able to rise from the dead due to his new found purpose to breathe and survive, Inarritu thrives in the forest of Wyoming by capturing the intensity of nature and revenge.

Steve Jobs, arguably the most impactful pioneer in recent history, began to picture his most iconic product – the iPod, later iPhone – when he started to build on himself before his product; it's a story of finding the hardware before the design. It is exactly at the moment when the man, who is obsessed with elegance in his designs and knows he is a big name, confesses to his daughter, saying, “I’m poorly made,” that changed everything about the movie for me. I definitely think it is one of the most stunning quotes from a movie.

Aside from the organic, martian potatoes that he planted, Watney was able to inhabit in Mars because he planted a seed in himself when he said, "I'm not gonna die here." Like Ridley Scott's past pictures, the movie has a simple focus and meaning. It focuses on Watney's sense of hope in midst of uncertainty and reminded me that humans are capable of "flying around like Iron Man" as long as they believe that their tiniest of seeds will grow one day.
