When Capa was seventeen, he wrote a paper which he submitted to America’s foremost scientific journals. It contributed to the understanding of dark matter, and in particular a theory for a controlled method releasing its energy.
Although dark matter theory was already well advanced, Capa’s theory assisted in the formation of the principle on which the Stellar Bomb was constructed for the Icarus I mission.
Capa was too young to have accompanied this first Icarus mission. But in the intervening years, Capa continued his research. By the time it was realised that the first mission had failed, and preparations for a second mission began, Capa was the world’s foremost expert on the dark matter bomb.
Because Capa is the only member of the crew who is not, by history and training, an astronaut, he is an outsider. In this respect, much of the crew see him as effectively a piece of valuable equipment, which must be transported intact to the delivery point.
Kaneda, however, feels differently towards Capa. He feels protective in a way which is partly paternal. He knows that it is hard for Capa being an outsider, a passenger, and goes out of his way to make Capa feel included.
What Kaneda doesn’t fully realise is that Capa is by nature a loner. He is perfectly content with his own company, working in the dark interior of the Stellar Bomb.
Searle does realise this - in fact, it is Capa’s self-contained quality that Searle likes. And Capa likes Searle equally. The two of them get on: they talk the same language, and have a similar sense of humour. Although they are both fundamentally loners, the relationship between them is actually the strongest bond in the crew.
Capa is better than Kaneda at chess, and so he always lets Kaneda play white. Capa sometimes lets Kaneda win.
Intellectually and internally, Capa is an atheist.
Wow, well, that was depressing.
There were a few LOL moments in the film that would have been better left out but nevertheless, it was very enjoyable.
Even got me and my friends arguing over whether or not it was a good or a bad ending.
Great acting on your behalf, I thought the guy who plays Kaneda and that other american guy who is in the fantastic four movies also acted quite well.
So yeah, conclusion, GO WATCH IT.
And, like, make sure you have a shoulder to cry on.
Not really, but, it is one of those films that makes you leave the cinema frustrated.
GO WATCH. NOW. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GO!!!

Hey Capa
Went to see Sunshine for my birthday the other day. Great acting by Cillian- as always. I loved this film. Visuals were fantastic. The twist was a tad random though; unexpected, but brilliant.
Just thought I'd say thanks for saving the world. And guess what? It IS a particularly beautiful day today! :) x
Finally got to see the Sunshine and Mr. Boyle never fails to provide thought-provoking and spell-binding entertainment. I was glued to the edge of my seat and enthralled, Sunshine was so very intense. Here's to hoping it stays in theaters longer. If not, the DVD will be a treasured addition to my collection. Good stuff, guys, as always.
Hey again C.M.
Got ahold of 8 of the wednesday previews for sunshine given away by the evening standard.
Can't wait =]
I'll be sure to comment on your performance once I see it with my friends.
Peace.
Also, LOL@Previous Post xD
SHOOP DA WHOOP
Greetings! Looking forward to seeing this film. I'm sure it'll be another demonstration of Cillian's acting versatility. Nice to see him in another Boyle film. 28 Days Later was amazing - one of my favourites in the genre.
