Review of Cosmos (2019) by Rosvel92 — 19 Jul 2020
An uplifting indie film, in every sense of the word. As someone who has some experience in Research, no film captures that beautiful feeling like this one. (My field was Concrete, I am a Civil Engineer).
This may as well, be is the best film about research of all time. The characters feel like real people. Research students are mostly underpaid volunteers, that are just doing it for the love of it. However this makes the experience frustrating, and undervalued. To feel un-rewarded.
Work in labs, can be lonely and tiresome, extremely methodic. Doing things that are very alike, over and over again. In the search of this new thing. The existentialism behind the pursuit of knowledge. This film really captures, how this little discoveries, or just the possiblity of them, are the things that keep us going.
In movies we always see this big budget fancy CGI rooms. With all kinds of technology. This is the first time the equipment looks like something, an average working person. Could afford.
And then learning it was made with a super small budget. Knowing the struggles of indie film-makers, this makes the movie even more inspiring and awesome.
