In the beginning of the movie, Matt asks Ryan what she likes about space. She answers, “Silence,” implying sarcastically that she likes to be away from the din and bustle of the Earth which is a consequence of people’s civilizations having harmed the Earth itself. However, once the Explorer is destroyed, she gets a strong eager back to the Earth fearing the cruel deaths of her crews right in front of her. In addition, as soon as Matt dies, she suffers from s mighty isolation. No one is by her to save her. Nothing is there to communicate with people by. And there is no “sound.” This silence once she loved now turns into a fear of nothing in existence exploiting her hope to survive. She feels an extreme hopelessness as she shuts of the oxygen supply. However, Matt is suddenly visualized when she is about to suicide, even though he has been dead. This miracle-like thing occurred because Ryan didn’t actually lose hope, because she feared by not only silence but also death having seen her crews dying, and she hears a voice of a mother speaking to her daughter reminding her of her dead daughter. Deep inside of her mind, she still has an eager to live, and her strong desire made Matt re-appear suggesting the resolution back to the Earth. Thus, this movie teaches us that hope is something we must never lose to overcome difficulties. This “hope” takes an essential part in
