In James Gray's "Interstellar", this scene impressed many people.
Roy's conversation after arriving at Neptune and meeting his father inside the spacecraft, on the one hand, the son's insistence to bring his father back to Earth to express his love for him, and on the other hand, the rational and cruel blow of the father. Roy sheds heartbreaking tears after learning that his father never thought of his mother and himself. Put the emotional relationship represented by your close relatives and the unreachable supreme ideal in front of you and ask you to make a choice. The father and son responded differently.
The theme of finding a parent throughout the film is actually a matter of individual belonging. Going back to the earth and going back to family means one meaning. After the scene, part of Roy tried to hold his father's hand. Because of the necessity of socializing away from the crowd, his father had a sense of alienation and even fear of human beings. Roy's insistence on bringing his father home seems to be carrying out his unfulfilled dream (getting his father's love), but he should be aware of the harm caused by this alienation, and the emotional breakdown between Roy and his wife interspersed in the film , which is also a contrast to this.
For thirty years, my father and team searched for intelligent beings in the universe and found nothing, which is the ideal (temporary) broken wing. Father said to Roy: "You can't let me fail." Roy responded: "You didn't fail. Now we know that all we have is each other." People need to rely on when they suffer setbacks, not only rely on Core self, and external support. This passage may imply: the ideal cannot be realized, you still have a family, and the tasks in the family have not been achieved yet, so don't give up easily! It is also a challenge, a task that needs to be accomplished. The responsibilities that family relationships give seem to limit you to extremes. So we often don't think about "lack of love", "absence of members", and they often happen in life.
Father finally asked Roy to let him go, and Roy let go. When a family member cannot complete his task, should we force him to complete it? Roy didn't do that, he just tried hard to get the parents back into the family. The results did make him miserable, but he had to accept the reality.
Roy asked himself why he did this, why he insisted and continued. He thinks that the father has not failed, on another level. Although my father did not detect the traces of intelligent creatures, he reached the distance and depth that most people can't reach, and he recorded those great beauty. This premise is that he has lost the love in front of him. The gain of an objective degree is exchanged for the loss of an absolute emotion. In terms of social attributes, of course, this is despairing and painful for the sensitive people and the parties involved.
What are you looking for and what are you arriving? The answer is of course not necessarily. Roy's search for his father brought him farther behind his surface goal. He regained his motivation and knew the essence of being ordinary people, that relying on each other can make each other better.
In the final analysis, the best state of a person is the combination of sensibility and rationality to achieve a balance. Movies place life in exceptionally extreme circumstances, testing us and tormenting us. Maybe we will learn some lessons and become more cherishing each other.
