Human evolution and the resilience of life may also be seen as key themes of Gravity. The film opens with the exploration of space-the vanguard of human civilization-and ends with an allegory of the dawn of mankind when Dr. ![]() Ryan Stone fights her way out of the water after the crash-landing, passing a frog, grabs the soil, and slowly regains her capacity to stand upright and walk. Director CuarĂ³n said, 'She's in these murky waters almost like an amniotic fluid or a primordial soup, in which you see amphibians swimming. She crawls out of the water, not unlike early creatures in evolution. And after going on all fours she's a bit curved until she is completely erect. It was the evolution of life in one, quick shot'. ![]() Other imagery depicting the formation of life includes a scene in which Stone rests in an embryonic position, surrounded by a rope strongly resembling an umbilical cord. Stone's return from space, accompanied by meteorite-like debris, may be seen as a hint that elements essential to the development of life on Earth may have come from outer space in the form of meteorites.
