Listen & Be Heard Weekly Archives

From director Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), the film Sunshine was moody and tense from the start. Set in a dateless future, eight astronauts are nearing the end of their outbound leg to the sun. The payload is a stellar bomb, intended to regenerate the dying star. This is actually the second attempt?Äîthe mission launched seven years earlier failed for unresolved reasons.

Featuring Rose Byrne (currently appearing with Glenn Close in Damages on FX), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four) and Michelle Yeoh, Sunshine reminded me of Event Horizon, The Core, and 2010. The special effects were magnificent, simulating the sun at close range. Being on such a crucial mission and flirting with the fires of Sol raised spiritual questions about life and death for the crew. Do we have the right to alter the course of billions of years of nature by extending the life of our sun?
