"I get it, it's nice up here. You could just shut down all the systems, turn down all the lights, just close your eyes and tune out everybody. There's nobody up here that can hurt you. It's safe. What's the point of going on? What's the point of living? Your kid died, it doesn't get any rougher than that. Still, it's a matter of what you do now. If you decide to go then you just gotta get on with it. Sit back, enjoy the ride, you gotta plant both your feet on the ground and start living life. Hey, Ryan, it's time to go home."

Lieutenant Matthew "Matt" Kowalski is the secondary protagonist in Gravity and the Mission Commander of STS-157. He is portayed by George Clooney.

Character Biography

Before the events of the film, Kowalski mentions that whenever he was in space, he would look down at Texas and think of his wife looking up at him. However, all was not well at home. When he returned to Earth, Kowalski discovered that his wife had been having an affair with a lawyer. Later Kowalski got a divorce from his wife but it seemed that he still had gumption despite his wife cheating on him, although he decided to retire.

Kowalski loves country music and has an obnoxious sense of humor, but he is a genuinely good person.

Gravity

While on Ryan Stone's first space shuttle mission aboard the Space Shuttle Explorer, she is accompanied by Kowalski, who is commanding his final expedition. During a spacewalk to service the Hubble Space Telescope, Mission Control in Houston warns the team about a defunct Russian satellite self-destructing, which has caused a chain reaction forming a cloud of space debris. Mission control orders that the mission be aborted but shortly after, communications with Mission Control are lost, though the two continue to transmit into the blind, hoping that the ground crew can still hear them.

The debris traveling at over 50,000 miles per hour strikes the Explorer and detaches Stone from the shuttle, leaving her tumbling through space attached to an arm. Kowalski orders her to detach from the arm before she is carried too far, and Stone does so, but is ejected into the void of outer space, tumbling around attached to nothing. Kowalski soon recovers Stone and they make their way back to the space shuttle. They discover that the shuttle has suffered catastrophic damage and the crew is dead from exposure to the vacuum. They use Kowalski's thruster pack to make their way to the International Space Station, which is in orbit only about 100 km (60 mi) away. Kowalski calculates that they have 90 minutes before the debris field completes an orbit and threatens them again.

En route to the ISS, the two discuss Stone's life back home and the death of her daughter along with her first name, to which she responds "dad wanted a boy". As they approach the substantially damaged but still operational ISS, they see its crew has evacuated in one of its two Soyuz modules and that the parachute of the other capsule has accidentally been deployed, rendering it useless for returning to Earth. Kowalski suggests the remaining Soyuz be used to travel to the nearby Chinese space station Tiangong and board one of its modules to return safely to Earth.

Kowalski's demise.

Out of air and maneuvering power, the two try and grab onto the ISS as they fly by.
== 죽음 == [[파일 : 중력 clooney.jpg | 엄지 | 좌 | 332px | 코왈 스키의 서거].] 공기와 기동 전력 부족, 두 시도하고 그들이 지나갈로 ISS에 잡아.

Stone's leg gets entangled in Soyuz's parachute cords and she is able to grab a strap on Kowalski's suit. 스톤의 다리는 소유즈의 낙하산 코드에 얽혀되는 그녀는 코왈 스키의 소송에 끈을 잡아 할 수 있습니다. Despite Stone's protests, Kowalski detaches himself from the tether to save her from drifting away with him, and she is pulled back towards the ISS. 돌의 항의에도 불구하고, 코왈 스키는 그와 함께 떨어져 표류에서 그녀를 저장하기 위해 밧줄에서 자신을 분리하고, 그녀는 다시 ISS쪽으로 당겨진다. As Kowalski floats away, he radios her additional instructions and encouragement, turning his music back on and admiring the sun on the Ganges. 코왈 스키가 멀리 수레로, 그는 다시 자신의 음악을 켜고 [[갠지스] 태양을 감상, 그녀의 추가 지침과 격려를 무선 통신기를 포함 할 수있다. Eventually Kowalski's messages stop, and Dr. Stone realizes that he has died due to a lack of oxygen from a combination of carbon dioxide poisoning and oxygen deprivation. 결국 코왈 스키의 메시지는, 중지 및 스톤 박사는 그가 인해 조합으로부터의 산소 부족으로 사망했음을 알게 [[산혈증 | 이산화탄소 중독] 및 [저산소증 | 산소 결핍]. Although she desperately attempts to get him to tell her a story, he doesn't respond. 그녀는 필사적으로 그에게 그녀의 이야기를 얻기 위해 시도했지만, 그는 응답하지 않습니다. Kowalski did this because he had hope in Stone, now Stone has to face her fears of being alone, without support. 그는 돌에 희망을했기 때문에 코왈 스키는 이런 짓을 지금 돌을 지원하지 않고, 혼자의 두려움에 직면한다. ===Kowalski returns=== Later in the film while adrift in the Soyuz Capsule, after a brief communication with a Greenlandic Inuit fisherman and listening to him cooing a baby, Dr. Stone resigns herself to being stranded and shuts down the oxygen supply of the cabin in order to commit a painless suicide via hypoxia. === 코왈 스키는 영화 동안의 표류 [[소유즈 캡슐], 그린란드어 이누이트 어부와 간단한 통신 후, 아기를 옹알 옹알 그에게 듣고, 박사 스톤이 좌초되고 자신을 사임하고 종료에 나중에 === 반환 저산소증을 통해 고통없이 자살을하기 위해 기내의 산소 공급 다운. As she begins to lose consciousness, Kowalski appears outside and enters the capsule. 그녀가 의식을 잃고 시작하면, 코왈 스키는 외부 나타나고 캡슐에 들어갑니다. Scolding her for giving up, he tells her to use the Soyuz's landing rockets to propel the capsule toward Tiangong. 포기 그녀를 꾸지람, 그는 TIANGONG쪽으로 캡슐을 추진 소유즈의 방문 로켓을 사용하는 그녀를 알려줍니다. Stone realizes that Kowalski's reappearance was merely a hallucination in her oxygen-deprived state, and that Kowalski never appeared after all. 스톤 코왈 스키의 재현 단지 그녀의 산소를 박탈당한 상태에서 환각이라고하고, 코왈 스키는 결국 등장하지 않는다는 것을 깨닫는다. Stone realizes that her consciousness manifested her memories from training in Kowalski, allowing her to survive. 스톤은 그녀의 의식은 그녀가 생존 할 수 있도록, 코왈 스키 훈련에서 그녀의 기억을 각성 것을 깨닫는다. Kowalski sacrificed himself to save Stone, but in the end he achieved his goal of beating Anatoly Solovyev's longest spacewalk record. 코왈 스키 스톤을 저장하기 위해 자신을 희생했지만 결국 그는 아나톨리 Solovyev의 긴 우주 유영 기록을 구타의 자신의 목표를 달성했다. But at the end of credit, radio sound and noise is estimated by Matt kowalski, hear the countdown.
