Gravity Movie Response

In the movie Gravity, what struck me about resilience is that people can find strength to cope from dreams and by doing things you think you cannot do but have to do.
In this movie, George Clooney would give up his life, to be able to give Sandra Bullock enough time to get into the space satellite without dying. Sandra Bullock became stronger when she dreamt that George Clooney had said she had two options. George Clooney told her she could shut down everything, not worry about anything and die, or she could turn on the engine and make it to earth safely. In my opinion, I think Sandra Bullock's challenges were coping with her near loss of life accidents and George Clooney's sacrifice to save her. I think that Sandra Bullock's character became more resilient when she realized she couldn't just sit around in the control room because that way she wouldn't get back down to earth. Instead, she had to challenge herself to land back on earth by herself for both her daughter and for George Clooney. Characteristics that make people more resilient can include - not giving up when something is hard, thinking ahead into the future and not dwelling in the past, and thinking of a positive reward to motivate yourself.
