What for do you go you bad Americaners to Space with my Brad in this movie now when you are already on Mars as 1st people on Earth and next is China which is better than Japan on 1945/05/09 in Prague with Russia and you lovely USA thank You very much because the best is Austria in Tibet with many friends over all planets and sun in space but we Czech people were 1st on moon?????
@Evan Koch It is quite believable i'd say. - statistically, yes, there is intelligence out there. but it might very well be out of our reach. time and space comes into play here: that information needs to travel with light speed is a problem. maybe there is right now intelligence out there, but maybe it needs a million years to reach us etc.
@Evan Koch I gather all these probabilities are a bunch of hogwash. Too much speculations....when in doubt....don't speculate. In saying this, Evan, I totally get your point. I also believe we are not the only intelligent life force in the Universe. Great point🙏
@Evan Koch in the movie tommy lee jones was looking for intelligent life in our SOLAR SYSTEM. what kind of serious scientist would think that's plausible. smh.
Great Movie Great Cinematography! It hits you after the movie....You were traveling through space snd Brad Pitt acting took you there..an exhilarating experience. Brad Pitt still has incredible sex appeal!
The depiction of all the space scenes made me immediately think of a man's journey into himself, alone, and how he rediscovers himself and learns to let go of things that hold back (his dad, but not in the flesh, but emotionally). And how far one has to travel to get there.
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn for all the controversial situations that the film points out. If we, as humanity are ready to colonize space, then NASA needs some philosophical (moral and ethical, too) standpoint to do things the right way and avoid a ton of mistakes.
It was an analogy of a man's journey to rediscover himself and to learn to let things go. He had to do it alone (everybody around him died) and he had to to travel far (deep) to get to the crux of his mental journey. Space travel is a perfect analogy for that.
It was obviously Heart of Darkness/Apocalyse Now in space, sometimes excruciatingly so. There were obviousls alusions to other space movies, but obviously Apocalyse Now...
Director would let Brad !/$+ him with that Moon glove he'll find some Good Chocolate Coins he can feed them to Space ladies. They talk so fast haven't been boned since Ever! Brad looks dope as !+$&!!!
Lord Remuru It’s a SPACE movie. So it has to be a slow burn.... Looks like for you there are only two types of movies since you have to push it into the other extreme. The movie lacks in everything.... Not a concept movie like 2001 / Interstellar, so an allegory is not present there...The emotional component in the movie is null... most good space movies so far did great on that ... when Grey had 2 hours to tell a story and 15,000 jobs were given away for its making. He failed IMO. So the movie doesn’t have much going for it. It does have the outstanding performances of Pitt, Lee Jones and Sutherland, but it remains a mediocre movie. I can give u many examples why Ad Astra is just a bad movie overall. I don’t wanna change your mind. Notice I didn’t even bring up the baboons ...
@@spruceguitar Here's what you get wrong about Ad Astra: At it's heart, it's not a space movie. It's an introspective drama/character study. The whole space adventure is a metaphor for Roy McBride and his father isolating themselves from the society and people, trying to find something that isn't there, not realizing they cannot survive by themselves. Try looking at it from this perspective and you might change your mind about the film, or you might just realize this is not your type of film. Unfortunately false marketing made people expect something from the film that it wasn't trying to be.
ExploreTube James Gray clearly acknowledges in an interview published September 25th that it is, in fact, a space movie. And here you come along, saying that to consider it a space movie is just wrong. You remind me of some Eagles fans, who thought they knew better than the band what their songs actually meant. You could do yourself good in your interactions with others not to talk as if you had the ultimate truth in the bag. In this case you obviously did not....
Luckily this is just a conversation because when Brad Pitt & James Gray asked a question to these NASA officials they don't produce a concise answer. If this was a forum they'd probably have better answer due to doing it multiple time at multiple event.
@@alexisvnc There is a statement of him that during the 90s, he found himself sitting on the sofa most of the time, holding a joint in his hand. Which is why he tried to quit. BTW I don't judge necessarily (although in my opinion Hollywood as a whole is a very negative force), I just think it's fascinating with what behavior he gets away with simply because of his appearance!
@@swires1 but that ~20 years ago? He could very well have changed his habits since then. Also it's not like smoking a joint at night makes you a lazy fuck. It's even legal now in California lol
It's not about space travel. Pitt's character's father abandoned him at a young age. The scenes are analogies of his journey into himself and getting to grips with everything that held him from loving/trusting someone ever again.
Very nicely done, Washington Post...On second thought, the one question I wanted answered- an OBVIOUS one, at that -is what does the title “Ad Astra” MEAN? I’m assuming it’s Latin, which the leading edge Baby Boomers were fortunate to be taught in high school, but that ended before my cohort got there. So I’d like to know!
Ad astra means "to the stars", the full phrase being "ad astra per aspera" - "to stars through difficulty". Latin is a beautiful language, hopefully it will make a resurgence someday!
Ariel Casanova: I agree that Latin is beautiful, but it’s the Latinate languages that I love to hear- especially French! Thankyou so much for your kind and thoughtful reply. And let’s hope that Latin does come back to our dumbed down American Public School Systems.
The Lunatic Scientist reminds me of my Auntie Marjorie who worked for weight watcher's As a taster for new ingredients, she always said they taste all the same and not unlike dust, I suppose my Aunty and the lunatic scientist are a lot alike, they could almost be twins crazy man.Its all just space and dust #lovelightlaughter/moving
Wish this movie was still released under the pre owned Disney era of Fox, when it was its own studio. Still not sure if I want to see it for that reason!
you can tell they're extremely nervous, and who wouldn't be. But the NASA workers give cop out answers anytime something difficult is brought up like human tribalism. "we let the lawyers deal with hahaha." um no.

I've seen the movie and was really disappointed. Many unreallistic moments with BP surfing on a piece of solar panel among Neptunes rings which was the most riddiculous thing I have ever seen in a SF movie. Not to mention that this whole SF part was just there as a background for a cheap melodramatic plot that ha nothing to do with actual science which ruined the movie for me.
Its disappointing to hear of these directors doing all this factual research and using scientific consultants, then in the end throwing it out for dramatic effect. It showed in this movie. The production design was great, but the scientific accuracy was kind of a joke. They made interplanetary space-travel look like a cross-country bus trip.
great aesthetics... mediocre story.. laughable accuracy... Brad did an awesome job.. director is a hollywood stooge/hustler/bullshitter and WaPo is predictably cringe, seemingly wetting herself... but better than most films now, so it's got that.
48:10 in mandarin "crisis" is NOT the same as "opportunity". crisis is 危机 and opportunity is 机会. it's like saying dogma and doghouse are the same thing in english. james grey is such a pseudo intellectual.

This movie is a total waste... Trailer and name is misleading....not even one tenth of interstellar or martian....go with zero expectations or u'll be terribly disappointed.
The pirated version on 1-2-3 Movies4U is very bad. Has ads for gambling online in Arabic. Or Thai/Cambodian CAN be as sharp as a trailer, or ghastly hand held.. AVOID! Go to the theater A lot of Psycho-Babble /Filler The Lunar stuff is perhaps best.... Neptune & Dad, makes little or no SENSE! IMHO J.C.
THE MOVIE TO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING... AND BRAD IS LOOKING TIRED AND OLD... I GUESS HE IS TIRED OF MAKING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND GIVING TO HIS ADOPTED KIDS...
Film makers: "Commercialisation and militarisation of space is a bad idea."
NASA people: "Yeah, that's pretty much what we're going for."
The movie makes a really good job showing the consequences of this philosophy. One fucking blanket for 150 USD.
Exactly! Basically colonizing by one company and one (+ privileged few) countries for using all there is there wrapped in a nice story for the public.
Settle down guys. It was a story.

@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 Agree. I loved the movie for that plot line.
So were going to be the same ass holes in space as we are on earth. Why in hell was I hoping it would be different? Consciousness?
It looks that NASA needs some philosophers in its staff

I Got One Of My Most All Time Favourite 2019 Sci-Fi Space Travel Movie AD ASTRA In My Dream.
Both NASA scientists were more excited for media.
The presence of these NASA folks killed any opportunity to discuss the critical ideas of the film. The tension was palpable and made this awkward.

Why are the two ladies looking like on a very powerful LSD trip?
They are high on Brad's @$$ fumes. They floating from belly down LOL 😜

Did anyone notice how the two guys had their legs crossed and the two nasa women did not... 4:51

Brad seems "spaced out" in this discussion.

Just a thought.
He's a known pot addict and tbh without his looks no one would take him seriously.

Is it me, or is the NASA women's speech inexplicably fast? I checked video reproduction speed more than once. Too much enthusiasm.
This film brings out this most dreaded fear of loneliness in the literal sense.
I just saw the movie, almost everyone Brad Pitt's character meets dies.....going to Mars is a one way trip....based on current technology.
It's not about space travel. Pitt's character's father abandoned him at a young age. The scenes are analogies of his journey into himself and getting to grips with everything that held him from loving/trusting someone ever again.

Awesome conversation Q&A.
I love Gravity. It's an awesome film. I will check out AD Astra
If you love Gravity, then you are gonna love this at least as much! It was the same for me.
I think they're exaggerating the presence of water on the moon.
Still can't get the concept of space pirates.
Right when I was thinking the promotion of Once upon a time in Hollywood was getting too much... Ad Astra came...

Why did his dad s scream as he drifted toward neptune?
Because he believe he failed especially after all his sacrifice!
Awesome Brad Pitt is the greatest God bless the Washington post NASA is the best .

Its great to reflect and truly feel, this void is ot some place...this is a place that I am , for real.
I can't say sublimity either bro.
Saying "thank god to astronauts is like spitting in their face, "god" didn't do shit, the smartest of the smartest HUMANS did.
Haha love Brad's last question to the expert ! Clooney or Pitt ? Lol then Brad answered his own question it's Damon !! #OceansMen haha
Soon as you hear "welcome to the Washington Post" you immediately want to tune out.
