Some people say that it is a sci-fi masterpiece that perfectly combines business and art ;
also some people say that it focuses on emotional shaping, reduces the sci-fi nature of the film , especially the mention in the film "Love is the only thing that can be perceived beyond the dimension of time and space" has caused some controversy. Some netizens on
even accused of betting on the scientific nature of for the box office, which is not worthy of respect.
But the author believes that this sci-fi masterpiece , which is ranked tenth on Douban Top250, deserves our respect , and its excellence is justified.
Next, I will take you closer to the world of "Interstellar" from the three aspects of 's film world view construction, plot development context and enlightenment .
About the world view in Interstellar: The world view of
's film is that the earth's environment is constantly deteriorating, and it is also attacked by Fusarium wilt. This fungus will infect green plants and cause them to wither and rot. Gradually, there are fewer and fewer green plants on the earth. , the world without vegetation suffers from continuous sandstorms and the environment is very harsh.
"Interstellar" sandstorm strikes
So people living on earth are actively trying to solve the problem, and they are divided into three factions and three views.
Tom's head teacher
1. Conservatives, they believe that the earth is our only home, the past escape from the earth, the space program of human migration is a nonsense, and human beings should protect the earth. Representative characters include the head teacher and Miss Hanley, who appeared in 11 minutes of the movie.
The protagonist Cooper
2. explorers. They believe that the blight of the earth will spread and green plants will only become less and less. At that time, human beings will face the dilemma of no food and no oxygen, so they must find habitable planets in the galaxy. space settlers . Representatives include the protagonists Cooper, Murphy, Miss Brand, etc., and there are many people.
Professor Brand
3. is an extreme explorer. They believe that it is impossible to transport all mankind out of the earth and immigrate with the existing technology, because gravity is their biggest obstacle. To solve the problem of gravity, it is necessary to find the answer in a black hole, which is simply impossible. Therefore, they advocated carrying human fertilized eggs to a habitable planet, and then reproducing through surrogacy. Representatives are the most famous physicist Professor Brand, "hero" Mann.
NASA shut down for refusing to participate in the population extermination program
At the time, the conservative view was strongly supported by the government, and the so-called population extermination program was carried out to reduce the population as much as possible, save resources, and vigorously develop agriculture. "The world doesn't need engineers. What it lacks is not televisions and planes, but food." Farmers are the most honorable profession.
The space agency NASA was also suspended for opposing the population extermination program. The US Apollo moon landing program was said to be political propaganda, only to overthrow the Soviet Union. And so-called technology, such as rockets, is the most useless machine. When it comes to educating future generations, everyone advocates educating children to know and protect this planet, rather than telling fairy tales about flying away from the earth.
Cook reluctantly said
and the protagonist Cooper is against this point of view, so the film specially arranged a bridge, that is, the conversation between the head teacher and Cooper, to build a conflict point in the film, and then Cooper's later The sentence "We seem to have forgotten who we are, we are explorers, pioneers, not guardians", and then there is the story of Cooper's resolute choice to explore a habitable planet. In terms of the setting of the conflict point, the is considered to be the perfect .
Plan B Human fertilized egg
But the story doesn't end here, because there is another point of view that has not appeared. While the protagonist Cooper is eager to find a habitable planet and work hard to save all mankind, Brand teachesGranted a secret arrangement, it was decided to implement a third point of view, the extreme exploratory school, which was referred to in the film as an alternate plan for "PLan B". Professor
lied to Cooper from the beginning, making Cooper think he was saving all mankind. But in fact, the professor has decided to give up all human beings and choose to carry fertilized eggs to a habitable planet. Mann is a chess piece he laid down, and in the later episodes, the protagonist almost died on the alien planet. A reversal conflict setting such as
pushes the story of the film to a new stage, and this is where the protagonist Cooper jumps into a black hole to explore the secrets of gravity in an attempt to save all mankind. I have to say that the film is very logical, and the arrangement of contradictions and conflicts has to be admired.
The plot of "Interstellar" is more difficult to understand
If you don't carefully deduct the subtitles to clarify the main line, it is estimated that few people can understand the plot of "Interstellar" once. Because the plot is actually composed of two timelines of intertwined with .
Cooper uses gravity to control the pointer
After watching the film, we know that Cooper entered the black hole and came to five-dimensional space . Here, time is a tangible entity, and the medium is gravity . Cooper can communicate with people or objects in the past by touching time and activating gravity. Of course, this communication is through the medium of gravity.
Book fall caught Murphy's attention
For example, when Murphy was reading a book in the study as a child, the book on the shelf suddenly fell to the ground, in fact, Cooper entered the black hole and pushed the book from the shelf to the ground through gravity. . It's just that Cooper, who entered the black hole, seemed to have traveled through time, went to the future, and communicated with his past self and Murphy in the future.
is a bit of a mouthful to say, but it's not difficult to understand. You only need to know that there are only four characters at the core of the whole play, the past Cooper of , the past Murphy, the current Cooper, and the current Murphy .
So the plot of the whole film can be understood as 's current Cooper communicated with 's past Cooper and past Murphy at a past time point, and left "stay" for , NASA The information of the coordinates and the quantum data of about the gravity in the black hole remind them how to crack the mystery of gravity, so as to get rid of the gravity and lead all mankind to leave the earth.
But Murphy in the past was too young to understand the information, so it was kept in the dust. It was not until he grew up, that 's current Murphy recalled the strange incident of the bookshelf again and returned to the study, and finally deciphered the message left by Cooper and solved the gravitational equation , leading all mankind to leave the earth, The whole movie has a happy ending.
Since the film is a sci-fi movie, it will inevitably involve the concept of natural science, so it will make it more difficult to understand the plot. Being able to explain such a complex concept in an orderly manner in two timelines shows how profound director Nolan's artistic skills are. This is another that is hard to surpass in the film.
on the meaning of revelation
I think the film leaves a lot for us all to think about. This also proves that this is not just a simple sci-fi movie, it is very deep. Just imagine, in the face of the harsh environment of the earth, which point of view would you support in the film? Looking up at the stars or "down to earth"?
I want to emphasize one point here.
said in the movie that love is not something invented by human beings, it is meaningful, not only for social communication, but also the only thing that can be perceived by people beyond the dimension of time and space. When I first saw these words, I thought that the film might be telling us that love is the greatest thing in this world, and that human beings are called human precisely because they have emotions. This reminds me of an interesting topic, can AI replace humans?
I don't think AI can replace humans because they don't have human emotions. Maybe they can imitate human emotional communication as much as possible through data or algorithms, and present it in a highly intelligent way, but they can never surpass humans.
It's like you can draw the appearance of an apple vividly, but you can never draw the aroma and taste of the apple. Some things can only be known how wonderful they are when you try them yourself.
Perhaps, this is the most unique part of love. Everyone has a person or thing they deeply love, and perhaps it is this emotion that makes the connection between them transcend time and space, and still cannot be cut across hundreds of millions of light-years. Just like Cooper's love for Murphy, because of his father's love, he traveled through time and space.
Copernicus
Many people say that because of the emergence of "love", the scientific nature of the film has been greatly reduced. But I personally think no, scientific exploration is endless. After Copernicus discovered heliocentrism, people didn't believe him because they thought in their minds that "they are the center of the universe", how stupid!
Several years later, it turns out that Copernicus was right. So, who knew that love wouldn't really be a thing that can be perceived through time and space, as said in the movie? Maybe when technology is developed a little more, love will become the "science" we worship.
Conclusion
Finally, let me summarize! In this film, the arrangement of special effects, plot, and conflict is absolutely world-class, and it is difficult to say that any film can surpass this level. At the same time, this is also a very in-depth film, which inserts topics that are very hot today, such as "there is only one earth for human beings" and "is it really possible to immigrate to alien ?" These are some grand propositions , Now there is no conclusion, we can think more, and there will be a lot of gains.
"Interstellar" is really a very good film, and I hope that interested friends don't miss it, hurry up and arrange it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it once, you can watch it several times. When you really figure it out, you will definitely feel very accomplished!
Alright, that's it for this movie review! I am Jay who likes to think, join me for a brainstorm !
hopes that everyone will like, bookmark, and forward to . By the way, pay attention to me, I will reply to every comment you make! See you next time!
