1921 Long Echoes
The movie is over.
The melodious and sad piano music was slowly flowing in the screening hall, the lights were still not on, the whole audience was still in darkness, and a list of production personnel was slowly appearing on the big screen
"Director: Christopher Nolan", "Screenwriter: Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan", "Producer: Emma Thomas", "Producer: Renly Hall"...
The minimalist white font is slowly displayed on the black screen, just like the black and white keys of a piano. The calmness is filled with a tough and gentle force, which slowly settles down the surging mood of the audience. That subtle and unique experience maintains a rare quietness.
They need a little time.
Graham expected the ending of the movie: Cooper and Murphy finally met again, and Tom became a handful of loess; but Graham did not expect the real ending of the movie: Cooper was separated from Murphy again, because Murphy had a home of his own, and Cooper's home was completely destroyed in the torrent of time, and his only support was Brand, so he embarked on the journey of finding Brand in the vast universe.
Is this a reunion ending? Or a sad ending?
Graham couldn't find an accurate way of expression, just like when he first watched "Love Mad": they came together after all, but seemed to belong to each other again.
What exactly is the so-called home? It should be the space built by the bond between people, living with memories and presents of each other. Each "today" is created to ultimately constitute a future that belongs to oneself and to each other, and still has traces of each other in that magnificent blueprint. But if this bond is irreversibly divided and alienated by time and space, then does the home still exist?
People are still those people; but things are no longer those things.
Going further, what are the memories that belong to humans real? Cooper’s memories are real, and Murphy’s memories are also real. However, in the reversal of the gravity of the black hole, the memories between Cooper and Murphy were greatly misaligned, and eventually they became the illusion of the illusion of each other’s memories.
Murphy in Cooper's memory was still eight years old. She didn't even understand Einstein's theory of relativity, and he had to return to his daughter because that was his promise.
Cooper in Murphy's memory was still thirty-one years old. She was absent-minded because of her wife's death and career turning point. She believed that her father would definitely come back because he had promised her.
In reality, Cooper is still less than 35 years old. After experiencing the thrilling interstellar journey, he finally returned to his home, but the world he knows has been completely destroyed. So, is his "existence" still a real existence? Or is he a wandering soul floating in space?
In reality, Murphy, she is already 101 years old, has her own huge family, and has become a hero that everyone admires in the space station. She still remembers her childhood memories of the farm, but that was more than 80 years ago. So, is her "memory" still real?
Cooper and Murphy are still the families they care about the most, but they are strangers they don’t know each other because they have missed each other’s most thrilling years, and the memories and promises that were once buried deep in their minds have become a symbol in the mirage.
So, does the "home" defined by Cooper and Murphy still exist? Murphy chose to embrace death in front of her family. She is no longer Cooper's daughter, but the grandparent of the entire family. She has her own support; while Cooper, alone, goes to space to find the only partner who has experienced interstellar travel with her, but does the bonds established by their time and space still have their original meaning?
Brand, can it be Cooper's home?
At the end of time travel, will they become lonely? Is it true that all human beings are like this, coming and walking alone, and the path of life, in the end, will they still have to go on their own. All the bonds and all the homes are actually just a greed and extravagant hope?
Everyone knows the power of time and ruthlessness, but this feeling seems not very real or accurate. Is there an emotion that can overcome time and space? It is like the connection between Cooper and Murphy, which completes communication through five-dimensional space, allowing the other party to return to each other again.
"Love", this powerful power is indelible and cannot be stopped by time. It can defeat everything and establish bridges and bonds between each other; but... is it really the case? At that time, when the light was still reversal and twisted, when the theory of relativity left indelible traces on each other's physiological and neural levels, can "love" still maintain its original freshness and vividness?
Cooper still loves his daughter.
Murphy still loves his father.
The bonds seem to have never been erased; but in the social ethical structure and in the long river of time, they are destined to be unable to accompany each other. All life, all objects, all the deeds... and even all emotions and memories, whether physical or spiritual, will eventually turn into powder under the huge influence of time and will no longer exist. So, what should humans do at this time?
Is it true that humans are lonely after all?
About time. About family. About bonds. About home. About social structure. About interstellar. About loneliness. About promises. About future. About survival. About life. About the universe. Also, about yourself. Under the vastness of time and the universe, human insignificance is magnified to the extreme, and even begins to feel helpless, and then falls into confusion and cannot extricate yourself.
Countless thoughts were surging in my mind, one after another, one clue after another was rushing out, but all the thoughts were question marks. Before one problem could be solved, another question emerged, and then it piled up one after another, and finally fell into a pile of question marks, so that there was no way to react at all, and just sat in the seat in the screening room.
Graham knew that he needed a little time, a little time to calm down, and a lot of time to digest. The theme of this movie is family affection, but /mother/body is "time". Through the collision and adventure of family affection, the power of time is enlarged to the extreme, creating endless possibilities.
It is even deeper and more complex than "Inception".
The first time I watched the movie, the staff behind the scenes had not finished screening yet, but now Graham can't wait to watch it for the second time, and he had a premonition that he might need to watch it for the third or even the fourth time, because there were too many question marks in his mind.
But the difference is that it is not because it cannot be understood. In fact, the core theoretical knowledge of "Interstellar" is not that complicated, and even if it is not fully understood, it will not affect the understanding of the movie. This is more down-to-earth than "Inception"; it is precisely because it understands that it takes more time and more details to help yourself complete reflection and watch repeatedly is for your own thinking, and also for real enjoying it.
"Time", just this theme, can lead to countless side branches; not to mention, Graham has another reason to have to go to the cinema again
Renly Hall.
The whole movie is magnificent and magnificent, vast and profound, pushing the power of time and space to the extreme. Each frame is magnificent and exquisitely amazing, but what Graham can't get away with is Lan Li's eyes:
When I bid farewell to Murphy, I saw the reluctance and sadness in my eyes when I returned from the planet Miller, I realized that I had missed twenty-three years, and the grief and bitterness in my eyes; when I was detonated and fell into a high-speed rotation and was about to be destroyed and had to take a gamble, I saw the firmness and determination in my eyes; when the Ranger separated from the Yili and bid farewell to Brand forever, I saw the tenderness and perseverance in my eyes; when I left the space station again when the ending came, I saw the loneliness and hope in my eyes...
Everything, everything is about eyes.
Lan Li did not use too many fancy techniques to modify and interpret those intricate emotions. She just conveyed them through a look, carving out the deepest beliefs in her heart bit by bit, and invisibly outlining the character's growth arc in the audience's mind, and the touch and shock slowly penetrated out.
Even if the picture is magnificent and magnificent, and even if the story is shocking and moving, Graham can never forget Lan Li's eyes. It was the eyes of a father, the eyes of an ordinary person, and the eyes of a human being, not a hero or a great man, but he can easily defeat all his armor and hit the softest part of his heart hard.
The ending subtitles are still slowly rolling, and Graham's thoughts are still surging in his mind. It is estimated that they will not stop for the next forty-eight hours. However, when the lights in the screening room are slowly turning on, Graham finally broke free from the ocean of countless question marks and realized that this is the premiere of "Interstellar". They have just finished enjoying this rare masterpiece of emotional resonance, and the excitement and excitement exploded.
Stand up and applaud.
Just two simple actions showed all the excitement and happiness in Graham's chest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a big curve. He liked such moments to be precise, he loved such moments because the movie made him feel extremely real.
Chapter completed!
