"Interstellar", endless aftertaste

The film "Interstellar" lasts for nearly three hours and has been watched twice. It is a science fiction film that will be remembered for a long time after watching it. I prefer science fiction movies. In the days before the epidemic, I would definitely buy tickets and go to the hospital to watch them. The large screen and surround sound provide a strong sense of audio-visual immersion and a great viewing experience. However, I watched this film twice on my mobile phone, and the audiovisual quality was average. However, the film always grabbed my heart, and the music and story made people feel a little sad.

The film tells us the background of the story at the beginning: due to various human operations, the earth's environment has deteriorated rapidly, sandstorms are raging, food is scarce, and human survival and reproduction are facing a huge crisis. In the context of the food crisis, human science and technology has degraded, scientific research institutions have been disbanded, universities only enroll a few students, and more people are assigned to be farmers.

The earth seems to be no longer suitable for human survival, and scientific researchers have formulated a self-rescue plan: either immigrate to other planets and try to transfer existing humans on earth to new livable planets. Either find a new planet to colonize, ensure the continuation of humankind, and abandon the existing human beings on earth. At this point, the male protagonist is spotted by the scientific research center and involved in the self-rescue plan. He is also the backbone of the execution of this plan, and the story slowly unfolds.

Impressive scenes in the film include:

The food crisis caused by climate deterioration. The food that humans rely on for survival faces the threat of "blight", which triggers a series of vicious reactions such as oxygen depletion and environmental degradation. The screen is filled with sandstorms, the sky is gray, and visibility is extremely low. The cornfields and tightly packed human beings are covered in sand. Even the furniture in the house is inevitably covered with a thick layer of sand. These days How's it going? There is a hint of despair at the beginning of the film.

The male protagonist who traveled deep into space decided to rush into the wormhole, but was accidentally sucked into the black hole. Coming to a planet, a human astronaut waiting here lied to them in order to survive and wanted to murder them. The selfishness of human nature is clearly exposed here, including lies, fear, fear, struggle, and darkness. This also shows the extreme desire of human beings to survive. Fortunately, the male protagonist saw through it and survived.

The most painful and unforgettable scene is the scene between father and daughter in the study.

No matter how hard the film looks like science fiction: wormholes, black holes, space adventures, multi-dimensional space... the core is still family and love. Science and theory actually serve emotions, wrapping the softest emotions with a very hard shell. Because of this, it is not a serious and great science fiction film, but it has fuller emotions.

The male protagonist has a son and a daughter who depend on each other. At the beginning of the film, it is told that the little girl encountered two strange incidents. Books fell from the bookcase at home for no reason (no external force); dust fell from the ceiling at home and was arranged in a special shape. The male protagonist deciphered the shape code of dust and obtained a coordinate, thus starting space exploration.

After passing through the singularity of the black hole, the male protagonist arrived in a strange space. It is the legendary "five-dimensional space". In this five-dimensional space, several four-dimensional spaces continue to overlap and overlap. The male protagonist can switch to a four-dimensional space at will. But the x, y, and z coordinates where he is located are his daughter's room on the earth. The w coordinate can be switched at will. He saw his former daughter's life in multiple four-dimensional spaces, and he particularly regretted it. So in some special way, the books on the bookshelf in this four-dimensional space were moved and let them fall to the ground. This is the secret of stay.

After the daughter deciphered the secret of stay, she persuaded the male protagonist not to leave, but the male protagonist refused to listen. The male protagonist in the fifth-dimensional space saw the conversation between himself and his daughter in that space through the gap in the bookshelf. The daughter repeatedly begged him not to leave and cried bitterly. Regretful and anxious, he shouted his daughter's name over and over into that space, to no avail. This section is very touching. The male protagonist's regret after leaving his child affects the emotions of the viewer.

The farthest distance in the world is not the end of the world, nor the separation of life and death, but the fact that I stand behind your bookshelf and watch you grow old, but I can only play with the sand and Morse code alone. , and by the way live forever.

Time, what exactly is it to us. Time can stretch and fold, but it cannot go back. "Your white hair may be my childish face, but one breath of mine can last your lifetime."

For us, the two-dimensional space is a piece of paper, from one end of the paper to the other. The quickest way to get the other end is to fold it over. For five-dimensional creatures, the three-dimensional space is also a piece of paper and can be folded. Not only can they fold three-dimensional space, but time is also a physical existence for them. According to the theory of relativity, the gravity near the black hole is too great and time will slow down. One hour on Miller's planet is equal to 7 years on Earth. Miller's Planet's soundtrack "Mountains" has dense ticking sounds. With every tick, one day has passed on the earth.

The black hole in "Interstellar" was not made casually. Five years after the movie was released, NASA released a rendering of a black hole, proving that the black hole model in "Interstellar" is rigorous and accurate.

At the end of the film, the daughter obtained the equation and black hole data, completed the technological revolution, and led the Earth's people to move to a new space station (self-created space gravity). Became a savior.

N years have passed like this (almost sixty or seventy years). The people on earth discovered the male protagonist floating in space and rescued him (the male protagonist can change time at will in the five-dimensional space, so it only took a few minutes). At this time, the daughter was already a hundred years old, and the male protagonist was just 100 years old. More than 30 years old.

This film is quiet and slow. There is even no music in the plot on some planets. It is quiet and mysterious. We have too much ignorance about this world. Hidden behind brain-burning physics are people’s most instinctive emotions. Love itself is the most sci-fi and unsolvable force.

In the torrent of time, we once again see individuals as small as mayflies, living and dying, the vast universe is gorgeous and boundless, and human beings have the indomitable courage to explore for love and survival. If you have the chance, it is worth going to the theater again. .
