Interstellar deep egg analysis! Why did you choose corn as the doomsday grain? There is still this operation.

At the beginning of the film, Nolan has actually begun to play his best time-space superposition, presenting the past, future and present to everyone in the shortest and fastest way.

In the past, the protagonist Cooper was a space pilot. He's trying to control the ship. The future is her daughter's self-report Now, Cooper wakes up in a dream, as if dreaming of his only plane crash.

The ending of plant blight described in the film, only corn can be barely planted.

Why corn is chosen as the doomsday food here is actually very particular. Corn has a strange nickname, called "alien plant". In reality, scientists have had a great controversy about the birthplace of corn and wild corn, so I won't start here.

From the film, corn can maintain high yield in harsh environment, and it is also the most successful food for human domestication. In the film, corn has undergone more genetic modification, which can better resist Fusarium wilt, but the film setting can last for decades.

It is worth mentioning that this large cornfield was planted by Nolan before filming. Nolan planted a cornfield directly for several scenes, and no one was left.

The sandstorm in the film was inspired by the black storm in the United States in 1930, the so-called dirty 1930s. At that time, the grassland in the western plain of the United States was extensively cultivated for a long time, and the exposed surface layer was desertified, which led to the black storm disaster.

Among them, the novel and the film and television work The Grapes of Wrath are based on this black storm.

Then we will look at Cooper, their main space station spacecraft, endurance.

The name is 19 12, and the explorer Sir Ernest shackleton led 27 crew members on board.

Endurance is close to the Antarctic circle. 19 15 years, accidentally hit by ice, but fortunately all the people on board survived.

In the film, NASA named the spacecraft of the space station Endurance, which means to give the crew good luck, even if they are in danger, they can save the day.

If you look closely, the Endurance Space Station is actually like a rotating clock. It happens that the space station is composed of 12, which corresponds to the clock number 1- 12. This film is also closely related to time.

Similarly, in fact, the English title of StarCraft, StarCraft, happens to be 12 letters.

The earliest spacecraft sent by NASA happened to be 12 spacecraft, 12 people, 12 unknown area. As for whether these are coincidences, you can interpret them yourself.

My understanding is that the number 12 is not only the most important time display system. In fact, human beings also use the number 12 in many aspects, such as 12 disciple of Jesus in Christianity, 12 theory of karma in Buddhism, 12 god in Greek mythology, knight of Arthur's Round Table, 12 in the west.

The entire mission of NASA Ad Astra was named Project Lazarus. Lazarus is actually the content of the new moon 1 1 in the Gospel of John. Lazarus was a disciple and friend of Jesus. Lazarus was buried in a cave after his death. Four days later, Jesus miraculously raised Lazarus.

The film calls this important task Lazarus Project, and its significance lies in the hope of saving all mankind again through this project.

Professor Brand read a poem when Cooper and others entered the space station and went to Saturn's wormhole. Fans should know that this is "Don't Walk Gently into that Beautiful Night" by British poet Dylan Marles Thomas.

Dylan Marles Thomas has his own distinct views on life and death. If you read the whole poem, you can appreciate the criticism of the light of human nature. "Good night" in the poem actually refers to the god of death who represents death.

There is a lot to say in this poem. Let's talk about it briefly here. This poem should be analyzed in combination with Professor Brand's secret. Professor Brand never solved the equation himself, so he never had a plan to save mankind, only a plan B to colonize mankind.

Professor Brand mentioned this poem more than once, and even when Dr Mann killed Cooper, he quoted it. My understanding is that human beings should end the endless darkness of fate by fighting and roaring.

Of course, there are still many angles to interpret this poem, and everyone has their own understanding. This may be the reason why Nolan designed it here, interweaving the most romantic poems with such hardcore science fiction, thus sublimating the ideas and knowledge of movie stories.

When Cooper and others arrived near Saturn, did everyone think Saturn was beautiful? In fact, this Saturn model was used in Superman: Superman: The Body of Steel. Although the camera just flashed by, it was more perfectly presented in Interstellar this time.

Because the special effects teams of these two films are from Nolan's threatening syncope company.

In fact, it is not the first time that this scientist has explained wormholes to Cooper in film and television works. As early as 1997, Paul Anderson's "The Surface of a Black Hole" explained the wormhole in this way, but at that time it was called the dimensional gate in the film.

Of course, Interstellar's more scientific explanation of the wormhole, in fact, Interstellar's whole film, although integrated with many related sciences such as the physical universe, uses the most popular way to make the audience understand, and also combines plot and emotion, which shows Interstellar's script skill.

When Cooper and his team prepared to go to the water planet with 1 hour (equivalent to 7 years of earth time), Doyle said a description of the black hole: this is really a black heart.

Black heart is 1902, the representative work of British Polish writer Joseph Conrad, which tells the story of an idealist who brought "civilization progress" to Africa and later degenerated into a greedy colonist. "Black Heart" also reflects the theme of human civilization and humanity.

Francis coppola's Apocalypse Now is adapted from "Black Heart".

It has been 23 years since the failure of Mercury-like body. They voted for the nearest iceberg star, and as a result, they were cheated by the doctor who planted potatoes on Mars and almost died.

At that time, when Dr. Potato deceived Cooper and introduced them to the data of this planet, one of the photos was given to Dr. Potato's robot Kipp Kipp. The name of this robot is actually a tribute to Gibson, the scientific consultant of this film.

After that, the line of sight of the film turned back to Earth. At this time, the desertification of the earth is becoming more and more serious. The family moved, and the little girl sitting in the van was Nolan's daughter Flora Nolan. Interested friends can pay attention to it when painting again.

The most tense moment in the film is that Cooper falls into a black hole, and the process of falling is similar to that of 200 1 A Space Odyssey.

In fact, there are many respects to 200 1 A Space Odyssey in Interstellar's whole movie, such as the shape of endurance, the design of videophone area and the shape of square robot, which also reminds many people of the black cube in 200 1.

There are two works behind the scenes. Stanley kubrick, the director of 200 1, is a fanatic in real life, and so is Nolan!

Stanley kubrick broke through many technical bottlenecks when shooting "200 1" in 1960s. In order to shoot the scene of astronauts running and moving in the spaceship, a centrifuge was specially designed to simulate the spaceship.

Nowadays, film technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and you can shoot whatever you want, but Nolan still insists on the purpose of not doing post-effects if you can shoot.

But Interstellar, after all, shows interstellar space, wormholes, black holes and so on with the vast universe as the background. So StarCraft became Nolan's CGI special effect.

Even so, Nolan can still shoot the real thing, including endurance. Although it is not 1: 1, the model is large enough.

Moreover, three space station cabins were specially built, namely, cockpit, living cabin and cryogenic cabin. We saw the range of activities of the crew in the film, without any special effects, all of which were made in real life.

Nolan was even more reluctant to compromise when he got to the landing ship. He directly built a 1: 1, which is also built in real life. Every button can be controlled, and every monitor can display it.

In fact, this kind of realistic creation not only makes the image more realistic, but also makes the actors feel more substituted in the real situation and more integrated into the plot environment, instead of always acting in front of the green screen.

For example, the cube that Cooper finally came into contact with black holes was also created in real life. When Matthew McConaughey, who plays Cooper, sees the real cube, he finally understands what the scene described in the script is, and enters the play in one second.

Even in the last scene of Brand's Planet, there is a colonial tent only a few seconds away, and Nolan has to build it in real life, which is crazy.
