'Interstellar': a tedious space road movie

After watching the movie, I really feel that there is nothing good to say, but if I don't write something to complain about it, I'm sorry for the two hours I spent.

Brad Pitt plays a U.S. space fighter wolf. His psychological quality is outstanding, and his heart rate will not exceed 80 when in distress. Tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for you to see, so you can use your toes to know that if he made him so awesome at the beginning, the subsequent plot will definitely destroy him psychologically to break through his Heart rate myth.

Sure enough, the male protagonist immediately embarked on a thrilling journey to find his father, starting this lengthy space road film. The advantage of general road films is that they can encounter various events along the way, and while ensuring the tension of the plot, they have sufficient motivation to push the protagonist forward. This film already has a clear goal - to find a father, because the motive cannot be broken, so it can only continue to be in distress, distress, distress, turn danger into danger, turn danger into danger, and turn danger into danger. Such repetition will inevitably cause the audience to feel fatigued.

During the journey of the entire space adventure, except for the first lunar rover chase, which was a bright spot, the tension and excitement in the back was lower and lower. Even if I can understand that the director wants to emotionally align the audience with the protagonist (from doubt to confusion to decadence, and finally firmness about the task), this approach obviously does more harm than good. After seeing the third paragraph, after sneaking up on Cepheus and killing a boatload of people, many viewers were completely impatient with the plot, kept looking at the watch, and only thought about "what do you and your father love, hurry up and finish the show" . This is a failure of empathy in the absolute sense.

This film is definitely not a science fiction film, and the various settings in it cannot stand up to scrutiny. Whether it is the image of the militaristic conspiracy theory of the US imperialists, or the antimatter Lima plan spacecraft, they are all symbolic things. As a sci-fi film, the focus is on telling the journey of the mind, which is no problem, and "Gravity" does a good job. But what does this film do? The background of the whole film is changed to the arduous journey of the natives of an island country in the Pacific to go to sea to find their father, or even the tadpoles to find their mothers, which will not affect the connotation of this film at all. So after the audience figured out the core of the film, the sci-fi background of this film became quite eye-catching. Not only its symbolic meaning is greater than its actual meaning, but it also has so many loopholes. Except for the excellent visual effects, this sci-fi background can be said to be useless.

Finally, a discussion of the kernel. The story is about interstellar exploration and finally found that there is nothing outside. Human beings are extremely lonely in the universe, so human beings must soberly adopt a realistic attitude. Cherish the beauty in front of you, forget the illusory and empty exploration outside, and return home to the embrace of love. Three big question marks flashed across my forehead. Isn't this just making excuses for all kinds of defeatism? ? ? If you don't find it, keep exploring! Humans have only been on Neptune for thirty years, how could they give up the entire universe for a little failure! No rational logic makes sense! Even if a rigid setting is given that the entire universe has no life except us, it will not affect human beings to continue to explore this universe, right? ?

Linked to the beginning, humans are fighting on the moon, and I thought that we would finally discuss the topic of "human beings are gradually being swallowed by material desires", but in the end, this is the end - returning to the earth and living happily with your lover? ? ? After going around for a long time, it is nothing more than telling us that no matter how strong a soldier is, he must also be nourished by love. It would be more valuable to delve into topics such as "the relationship between man and the universe" and "how people deal with their own loneliness". I would rather he chooses to die with his father in the end, at least it represents the fierce collision of two different viewpoints of human beings. As a result, he chose to let go: "Dad, go to hell, I have to go back to earth alive to find a wife. Humans and so on, it is best to live on earth. No matter how magnificent space is, it is not our home."

The audience looked at the realm of this little belly chicken intestine, and it couldn't stand scrutiny in the background of space! In addition to being able to move some fanatical fans of the small fresh and the protagonist, the meaning of thinking brought by this film is no longer limited, but poisonous. I gave this film a passing grade because of the visual effects (mainly ultra-high-definition reproductions of classic elements of space science fiction) and Pitt's good acting.

When I think that this plot can get 8 points with a little depth, it's even worse, and the film review ends here.
