Capa: Our sun is dying. Mankind faces extinction. Seven years ago the Icarus project sent a mission to restart the sun but that mission was lost before it reached the star. Sixteen months ago, I, Robert Capa, and a crew of seven left earth frozen in a solar winter. Our payload a stellar bomb with a mass equivalent to Manhattan Island. Our purpose to create a star within a star.
Pause
Capa: Eight astronauts strapped to the back of a bomb. My bomb. Welcome to the Icarus Two.
This movie was fantastic, but many things could have been done different. Espescially the one survivor from Icarus 1.. It went from being an epic sci-fi to a slasher movie.
@GENERALSEQUENCE I only just rediscovered this movie the other day (how the hell I forgot about it I honestly do not know), and I'm not afraid to say I cried when I first saw this scene, and it's making me cry now. No doubt it'll make me cry many more times. Seriously. This is just beautiful. Perfection.
since we are all stardust, capa returned to his source of creation, in the center of a star. henceforth a piece of him will return to Earth as sunlight. ;)
Capa: "It's the problem right there. Between the boosters and the gravity of the sun the velocity of the payload will get so great that space and time will become smeared together and everything will distort. Everything will be unquantifiable. "
@JerryifyMe Very long description. Something to do with a theory about how a giant explosion such as that will become relative to the mind, or something along those lines. As in, its slowed down to being at the point of a stand still, revolving around him and his conscious. IMDb has a huge description for the theory on the Q&A page for this movie. All scientificlly accurate and stuff, because Brian Cox said so.
In short: Big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.
@JerryifyMe Because the reaction of the bomb, combined with the gravity of the sun and the speed that the bomb was traveling made everything unquantifiable, the laws of physics and the way space and time move and flow stopped being measured in a way that we understand..
@JerryifyMe The high gravity of the sun was able to warp space and time enough so that it seemed to slow down for him... which is crap because the only thing massive enough for that to happen is a Black Hole.. our Sun just isn't massive enough.
@JerryifyMe The high gravity of the sun was able to warp space and time enough so that it seemed to slow down for him... which is crap because the only thing massive enough for that to happen is a Black Hole.. our Sun just isn't massive enough.
@JerryifyMe Go back earlier, when they are predicting the probability of the bomb working, they couldn't figure it out, because the forces and speed exerted on the bomb would be so huge, that space and time would "break apart", this is what we are seeing at the end, the incredible idea of time "slowing down" because of incredible speeds through space, this is at least what I understood from it :P hope it helps
@JerryifyMe Because of the unimaginable gravity and energy (in the form of heat) being so close to the center of the sun, time and space would merge and all mathematical and physical properties of our classical model falls apart... Basicly, everything becomes so unreliable and unpredictable that anything is possible and impossible at the exact same time.
For example; time stops but particles still move/vibrate.
@JerryifyMe the director said the scene is the characters interpretation of what took one billionth of a second in real life. That's why everything just slows down at one point except for him.
Capa died the moment the Sun hits the wall of the payload. the scene where he looks at the sun and touching the surface might be just an alternative scene to his death. Showing him die right on the spot wouldn't be that nice. Im happy of the way how they ended the film. Though this scene gives a perfect yet beautiful closure to the man who saved the sun and whole of mankind :)
@RS99FILMS No, he died the second the wall was blown open, seriously, this is what, like the second time I've corrected you. Please go back to 4chan where you can be a fucking retard all you want.
doesnt the sun produce like 100,000,000 times the amount of energy as that of a nuke. Why would one 1 nuke make the fucking sun start up again, this doesnt make sense. Should be like 100,000,00 nukes but that would make the ship look weird so 1 will do i guess. Why dont they just fire hundreds of nukes at the damn thing in the first place instead.
@DirttyBoy11274 the movie justifies it as a bunch of neutrinos getting caught in the core of the sun, and that inhibits the nuclear fusion that needs to happen, and it slowly kills the star. What the bomb was supposed to blow up was the nugget of subatomic particles that was stuck in the core so the sun could fuse at full capacity again.
@DirttyBoy11274 It isn't one nuke they use, it's one 'Manhattan' sized nuke (so they explain in the film). Which needless to say is a bloody huge amount of nukeage. After the Icarus I failed, they mined Earth's resources to the max to create the payload for the Icarus II.
Some huge impossibilities in this scene. First off, with the bomb falling towards the sun, Capa would be thrown around the cube, depending on which way is "down", unless it has its own gravity of some sort. Worst of all, how can Capa even look at the sun without being blinded?
@HawK047 Stating how many impossibilities there are in a film does not make you look smarter. We all know these things, and so do the makers of this film. They added these things to make the movie entertaining and interesting. If they would have made a 100% (or even 50%) scientifically accurate film, the characters of this film would have not even left Earth.
@HawK047 Earlier in the film Capa makes a comment about Space and time warping with the sheer velocity that the ship is travelling as it approaches, my guess is that in his approach to the sun, there would be no "Centre of gravity".
Also I think the last part is supposed to be interpreted metaphorically, as it is obviously impossible in many respects.
If you liked Sunshine, like me, read the Isaac Asimov short story "The Last Question" about the fate of mankind and the entire universe. It is widely argreed to be the best sci-fi short story of all time and only takes 15 minutes to read. Shares the awe-inspirering feel that Sunshine has during scenes like this. Simply google it :)
@AudiMovies it doesn't matters if it's originally by some kinda underworld, i think you met underworld as a artist not a movie, because i though you meant from movie, but this song is like remake or something, the original sucks anyway, low on dynamic, and ...just low, almost like no feeling to it, i listened it, so this one is better and suited for beautiful places in this movie, dramatic.
I know. I say the "original" version of this part ("capa meets the sun") is made by underworld. they are a group like x-ray dog or immediate music. for sunshine, they made a better version of "to heal"
@AudiMovies One of you is wrong and one of you is slightly wrong, the song is Capa Meets the Sun (To Heal) originally orchestrated by Underworld but then sent to John Murphy to mix and edit.
