I look at him like in a mirror: a review of the movie ”Luna 2112”
How does it feel to be a carrot? And not the first freshness and not grown somewhere in the beds of the black earth, but in a space man-made greenhouse. And at the same time, to know that another carrot will come to replace you, and even your suicide will not change anything, because you were originally grown for consumption.Sam Bell played by the unjustly deprived Oscar Sam Rockwell in Duncan Jones's Luna 2112 will tell us how it feels. Sam Bell believes that he got a cool job on the moon, that a loving wife and a darling daughter are waiting for him at home, that there is nothing left until the end of his three-year work, and soon he will return home to a normal human life ... The key word here is counting. Once Sam , once again taking over the watch, gets into a lunar accident and wakes up in the isolation ward. He begins to be tormented by some vague doubts, and in order to dispel them, the astronaut goes to the scene of the accident to clarify the circumstances. And he finds himself there. Not just a double, but a copy, a mole to a mole, a hair to a hair repeating the original. Indeed,"I look at you like in a mirror until dizziness ..."And then both Sam realize that they are nothing more than genetically modified carrots ...  The absurdity of the situation is aggravated by Sam's only friend - robot Gertie (voiced by Kevin Spacey, for which it is worth watching "The Moon" in the original), on the one hand, showing overprotection, and on the other - wildly quilting Bella with his unwillingness to respond to the main questions. However, the question“what's going on?”actually turns out to be not so important, in comparison with“what to do?”and “but how? ! " . Both Sams have to find the answers to them on their own.What is the loneliness of three years of work in a confined space compared to the feeling of total loneliness from comprehending the Truth (but how can such a thing be comprehended at all!)? By the way, about the enclosed space - Sam Rockwell with his slightly puffy and grayish face came to the "Moon" very handy, this is how a person, deprived of walks in the fresh earthly air, should look like.  But Rockwell was not struck by his face. When you know that the main actor will be alone in the film, and there are no main actors at all, it somehow alarms and strains in advance. For keeping the viewer at the screen alone, only with your own game, without a single monster in the frame and even without some intelligible (very beautiful, but not tearing) soundtrack is such a hell of a job that you can't even believe that today he is still then you can. Except for giant talent, of course. Like Nonna Mordyukova.  In general, debut director Duncan Jones performed enchanting. By all appearances, Zoe Bowie is not just a big fan of science fiction, but can, having digested tons of it, add weighty ideas from himself and produce an exclusive, and most importantly, not a dull author's product. Standard novye with a touch of science fiction classics, but without outright plagiarism.Having started his intervention in the most provincial cinemas of different countries, Duncan Jones emerged from them as an absolute winner in the complete silence of the stunned spectators, even that very beautiful spectator half who attended the show for the company, and"generally not very fiction". And the soundtrack of Clint Mansell (yes, the same as "Requiem for a Dream") went to walk on iPods, and wallpapers from "Moon" - on desktops. "Luna 2112", as it was dubbed in our box office, appeared in the top IMDB almost before it was really shown. Summary: 97 minutes of strange, total, universal loneliness of bizarre forms, from which there is nowhere to run, of which about 80 are the most talented acting solo of Sam Rockwell. It is strictly not recommended to look from the handheld.
