This movie describes the fictional story of an astronaut suriving on the Mars alone before being rescued about two years later.
The knowledge used by the protagonist will proabably never be used in our daily life but it is the spirit of the character which we can learn from. He encountered tremendous odds while he was on the mars but he never gave up on hope. In our life we probably will not face the lethal situations which he faced, yet we never should give up either. We should just start working while facing difficulties.
Another thing we should learn from the movie is the spirit of cooperation. There is limit on the capability of individual human beings but with the power of cooperation human can do much more. I will also seek cooperation in my future career for greater accomplishments.
