Editor's note——
Some things seem unremarkable at first glance, but they contain a lot of information.
The entire film of "Interstellar Crossing" can be described as condensed to the extreme, often a single space station, huge stars, long nights, and boundless loneliness constitute a complete shot. However, the cost of interstellar traversal is as high as US$976,000 per minute, and all the information is hidden behind the ultimate simplicity .
This grand restraint and restraint is a bit similar to Lao Liu's description of the three bodies:
Its massive information is hidden deep, Wang Miao can feel it, but he can't tell. He suddenly realized that the unusual of "Three-Body" is that, compared with other games, its designer did the opposite—generally, the designers of games try to increase the amount of information displayed as much as possible. In order to produce a sense of reality; but the designers of "Three Body" are trying their best to compress the amount of information to hide a certain huge reality, just like the seemingly empty sky photo.
The complexity and detail does not mean rich connotation, but it is the restraint of deleting the complex and simplifying, which magnifies the impact of the philosophical propositions contained in the science fiction on the audience and makes the plot more brainstorming.
Not to mention that this movie focuses on describing a five-dimensional space-time, which far exceeds our cognitive limit as a three-dimensional existence.
We try to understand five dimensions, which is equivalent to an ant trying to understand a sphere, which is just a projection of a flat circle. Moreover, even if the ant knows that the sphere is not a flat circle like the projection, there is no way to imagine the sphere itself.
In the same way, the three-dimensional causality cannot explain the temporal and spatial relationship of this film at all. If it is the head iron, it is to use the law of causality, then it will inevitably fall into the paradox of time and space, and a large number of brain cells will die and become a light bulb.

Plot combing
Before formally analyzing the brain-burning details of "Interstellar", let's review the plot:
The earth is in a crisis of doomsday, all kinds of crops are suffering from blight, and human beings are facing raging sandstorms and famines, and they are heading for extinction.
The former NASA astronaut who worked in farming at home, the male lead Cooper, found a strange gravity field phenomenon in his favorite, his daughter Murphy's study room: books fell out of the bookcase for no reason, and the ceiling was dusted and placed in a special shape.
The daughter understood the supernatural event as a ghost, but the male protagonist did not believe in the existence of ghosts.
After that, the male protagonist deciphered the dust code and got a coordinate. Then he took his daughter and found that the location of the coordinate was a scientific research institution.
There, the male protagonist met the old professor and his daughter, Dr. Brand, and learned that the former NASA members were still secretly carrying out a plan to save mankind .
They found that there are 3 planets on the other end of the "wormhole" that may be suitable for human habitation. Therefore, the hero and the team members went on the road to confirm which planet is suitable for the new home of mankind.
At this time, the professor has two plans. Plan A is to build a space station to save everyone on the planet after obtaining the gravity algorithm and black hole data. Plan B is to abandon all people on earth and emigrate to other planets with fertilized eggs.
The professor asked the male protagonist to execute plan B first, and agreed that when the male protagonist returned the black hole data, he would also study the gravity algorithm, and then execute plan A. In fact, the professor thinks that plan A is impossible to achieve.
The protagonist bids farewell to his daughter, and the daughter says that she has unlocked the code for the book dropped from the shelf, which is "stay ", but the protagonist has left.
The hero and 3 other teammates embarked on a journey across the stars. They traveled through the wormhole to reach new galaxies outside the Milky Way.
In the wormhole, they saw the space-time distortion, and Brand also "shook hands" with the "them" in the space-time distortion.
In this new galaxy, there is a black hole Gargantua (Gargantua) and 3 planets that may be suitable for human survival, namely Miller planet, Mann planet and Edmunds planet (named after the first batch of scientists who landed on the planet) name).
The first stop they chose was the nearest planet Miller.
The planet Miller is near the zero point of the black hole's gravitational range. Due to the huge gravitational pull of the black hole, the time of this planet has slowed down. Its 1 hour is equivalent to 7 years of the earth .
Landing by cutting into the orbit of Miller's planet will take a lot of earth time. By that time, it is possible that the humans on the earth will have been extinct, and the A plan of human immigration will not be realized.
So Cooper wanted to avoid the time distortion zone, enter an orbit parallel to Miller's orbit, reach the sky above Miller, log in directly, and then bring back the sample data and return to the space station for research.
According to this plan, a lot of time can be saved, and it only takes about two years, but the disadvantage is that it consumes more fuel.
They left Romiley to study the black hole on the space station, and the other three people-male protagonist Cooper, female protagonist Brand and teammate Doyle went to explore the planet of Miller. Landed smoothly.
But this planet has nothing but the ocean.
Because the planet is close to the black hole, the gravitational pull of the black hole pulls on the tides, creating huge waves.
The cycle of the huge wave is almost an hour, and Brand made a mistake in action, which took the extra time, resulting in the sacrifice of teammates and the malfunction of the spacecraft.
It took them an extra hour to drain the water before the spacecraft restarted, and before the second huge wave came, they had a thrilling escape. In this action, they paid a heavy price for 23 years on Earth and the sacrifices of their teammates.
At the same time, on Earth, 23 years have passed, and the hero's daughter grows up and becomes the professor's deputy.
Before he died, the professor told Murphy that he had solved the equations long ago, but the black hole data was impossible to obtain, so at the beginning there was only plan B to colonize the alien planet, and the people on earth could only wait to die.
The camera goes back to space.
Because of the mistake of this operation, the spacecraft lacked fuel, so the next operation can only choose one of the remaining two planets to ensure that there is enough fuel to return to the earth.
In terms of route selection, Cooper believes that the data of Mann planet is more reliable, while Brand believes that Mann planet, like Miller's planet, is near the black hole and it is impossible to produce miracles.
As a result, the two had a disagreement. The male protagonist felt that Brand wanted to go to Edmunds only because her boyfriend was there; the female protagonist believed that the male protagonist only wanted to selfishly return to Earth to reunite with his daughter.
In fact, the goal of the male protagonist is to realize Plan A and save more people alive, including his daughter Murphy, of course.
However, Brand's mistakes on Miller's planet led to her failure to win the discussion, and she could only go to Mann planet according to Cooper's advice.
The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven bypass. Last time the heroine made a mistake, this time it was the turn of the heroine. As Brand said, there are no miracles on Mann planet. All the data was faked by Mann in order to save himself.
Mann knew from the beginning that Plan A could not be realized because he could not enter the black hole to obtain black hole gravity data.
In order to steal the spacecraft to escape, Mann carried out a series of operations, including setting up a self-exposure program for the robot to kill the black scientist Romiley who had been studying black holes alone on the space station for 23 years, and tricked the male lead out to kill him. Of course, our male protagonist did not die, but delivered a message to the female protagonist and was rescued.
When the heroine drove the aircraft to save the hero, Mann stole the spacecraft to the space station, but the space station exploded and Mann received the lunch. Later, the male protagonist used superb driving skills to rescue the space station.
At this time, the relationship between the male and female leaders is eased.
However, a wave of unrest occurred again . When they were immersed in the joy of victory, they suddenly discovered that the space station had slipped into the gravitational range of the black hole.
They have no choice but to use the black hole's "gravitational slingshot effect" to shoot the space station towards Edmunds planet, otherwise they will be swallowed by the black hole. But the price is that the robot Tas and Cooper made sacrifices and separated from the space station.
At the moment of separation, the heroine got the love of the hero.
It is said that the male protagonist entered the black hole and passed through the singularity, and unexpectedly survived magically and entered a strange space, that is, the three-dimensional space that "they" placed in the five-dimensional space, commonly known as the " hypercube ."
In this space, several four-dimensional spaces continue to overlap and overlap. The male lead can switch to a four-dimensional space at will.
He saw the life of his daughter in the hypercube, and thought that he was trapped in such a ghost place, and the task of saving the world had not been completed. I am particularly regretful. I knew that I would not leave that year, and it was mostly good to stay on the earth to accompany my daughter.
Therefore, the book on the shelf of the daughter is moved according to the law by gravity, and the book falls on the ground, which is the secret of the ghost and the password stay at the beginning of the film.
The daughter deciphered the message left by the ghost and persuaded the male protagonist not to leave at the time, but the male protagonist did not listen. The past and the future are still happening on the original trajectory.
Then, the robot in the same five-dimensional space sent a message (although the robot and the male lead are in the same five-dimensional space, but with high-dimensional rules, they cannot see each other and can only talk), telling him that he has obtained the black hole data.
The hero now realizes. Feeling that "they" are the future earthlings, the earth is saved, so I pass the dust coordinates to the other self in the cube (corresponding to the dust falling in the opening room), and then use the Morse code through the pointer of the watch that I gave to my daughter , Pass the black hole data over.
This kind of tacit understanding, this kind of spiritual perception, is love. According to the setting of the film, love is a special force that can travel through time and space in the universe. There is no evidence, but you know that love is there.
The camera then came to the earth at the other end.
After Murphy got the quantum data, he solved the gravity formula and found a way to save the human beings on Earth.
Then the hypercube disappeared, and Cooper traveled through black holes and wormholes and returned to the solar system.
Among them, as Cooper traveled back to the solar system, he saw themselves who had entered the wormhole, and "shook hands" with Brand during the time distortion. This also confirms that Cooper said that "they" are actually "us", the future human beings.
Due to the time difference between the black hole and the earth, Murphy has successfully built a four-dimensional space station and emigrated humans to the space station. The space station is also close to Saturn (easy to travel through the wormhole), so Cooper and Tas were found by the space station and rescued.
When the male lead woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed and came to the space station built by Murphy.
At this time, the earth time has passed a hundred years, and Cooper's earth age has been 124 years old, but the actual age is only a few years longer. At the same time, his daughter Murphy is already a nearly 100-year-old woman.
When he used his 37-year-old body to see his beloved daughter who was already a hundred years old and full of children and grandchildren, he knew that he had won time, but he had lost the most precious experience of growing up with his beloved daughter. Murphy told him that one can't watch his children pass away and ask him to go to outer space to find Brand, who is as young and lonely as him.
So Cooper and the robot Tas stole a spacecraft, went to Edmunds planet, and flew to the unknown space again...
At the end of the film, the heroine arrives on the planet Edmunds and takes off her helmet, indicating that human civilization will continue in a new homeland.

Concept explanation
Explain a few concepts:
① Gravitational slingshot effect:
The spacecraft uses the planet’s gravitational field to achieve the purpose of acceleration. The planet’s gravitational force is like a slingshot to eject the spacecraft. Similar to the slingshot we used to play when we were young, we pulled the rubber band back vigorously, and when we let go, it would pop out quickly. The application in the movie is to let the black hole draw them closer to the critical point that has been calculated, the spacecraft instantly ignites, and uses the gravitational slingshot effect to shoot the spacecraft to a new planet.
② Spiral descent deceleration
In the movie, the aircraft descends in a spiral on the open sea. This is because the spiral descent is longer than the straight descent. In the case of a rapid descent, by extending the descent distance, which is to extend the resistance time of the air to the spacecraft, it can reach the atmosphere. The descending resistance of the spacecraft continues, thereby slowing down the speed of falling.
③Singularity
A singularity is a point with infinite density and infinitely small volume.
Singularity is a form of universe that existed before the Big Bang. It has a series of strange properties, such as infinite density of matter, infinitely curved space-time and infinite entropy close to zero. Any modern physics and mathematics theorem is invalid on the singularity.

The most brain-burning time and space paradox in the whole film
Let's first analyze the "space-time paradox" that everyone is most confused about.
It is stated in advance that almost any science fiction film about time travel cannot escape the discussion of the paradox of time and space. Here is only a specific analysis of specific issues in connection with the high-dimensional space-time relationship involved in the film.
If you use the three-dimensional causal law to think about time travel, you will inevitably fall into the infinite loop of time and space paradoxes.
For example, why humans on earth are saved because of future humans helping to place wormholes; why people in the future can place wormholes because humans on earth are saved and multiply into high-dimensional civilizations.
Thinking in this way, the causal chain of the movie is a "Mobius ring", and there is no way to clarify it.
The reason for saying this is that although this is a logically closed loop, due to low-dimensional limitations, we can only see the projection of this logical chain . As I said at the beginning, the ants can only see the plane circle of the sphere. projection.
Since we think it is an endless loop with no solution, there is always a time and space paradox in the film for us. The more we think deeply, the more we feel that the movie is based on BUG. On the one hand, this is very inconsistent with director Nolan's professional ethics. On the other hand, it is really maddening that the problem cannot be figured out.
But are all these really unsolvable bugs?
You know, the director focuses on expressing a five-dimensional space, not a simple linear shuttle of time and space.
If time in a three-dimensional space is an irreversible straight line, then time in a four-dimensional space should be a plane, and time in a five-dimensional space should be a cubic state.
That is to say, the time in the five-dimensional space can be seen and touched, and can be shaped at will, such as stacking a small amount of time in different directions into a larger time, and splitting a large amount of time into small pieces. Throw in different directions.
Because of the high-dimensional setting of the whole film, the three-dimensional causality law cannot be applied at all. We must jump out of the three-dimensional thinking model. As for how to jump out, in fact, the director has already said very clearly, that is "Murphy's Law . "
Murphy's law is the key to understanding the temporal and spatial relationship of the film , "As long as it is possible, it will happen."
This is a bit like "fatalism", metaphysics in the three-dimensional world, but it can explain the five-dimensional space-time logic.
Three points are clear:
1. Three-dimensional time is a line, with the law of causality (high-dimensional space-time is not applicable). 2. The concept of parallel universes does not exist in the film. 3. The timeline does not allow paradoxes to arise.
If you want to understand the five-dimensional space-time relationship, don't go back to why it happened and what the result is. This is an endless loop of insoluble. You just need to know that what has happened is what should have happened and will happen.
For example, the plot of Murphy's encounter with ghosts when he was a child, thinking according to the linear causal law, can easily be understood as the male protagonist Cooper travels to the future and conveys information to the daughter of the past.
It is wrong to think this way, because no matter what dimension it is, human beings cannot change history. Although Murphy met the future male protagonist when he was a child, this is part of history in itself.
This has already happened in the past, so it is bound to happen in the future, then things should happen in this way.
For future humans, what they do is not to change history, but to do what they should do according to what happened in history.
The reason why people in the future can do this is because high-dimensional humans can see the past and future of low-dimensional humans, just as a screenwriter can see the life trajectory of a character. The screenwriter wanted to modify it, so he put a key event on a certain node, which changed the direction of the entire trajectory.
For another example, the human under the threat of fusarium wilt in the movie can be regarded as an ant in a certain desperate situation. If the stream floods the ant’s nest, the ant can only wait to die. At this time, an ordinary human finds it and directly diverts the stream. In this way, the ants can transfer smoothly. In the eyes of the ants, this human being is a high-dimensional life.
Although the future of ants has been changed, humans have not changed history itself.
In the five-dimensional space, there is no chronological order and causality, so the question of how ants become human beings has no meaning in the five-dimensional space.
4/7
There is no setting of parallel time and space in the video
In order to understand the paradox of time and space caused by the law of causality, many people will think from the perspective of parallel time and space.
Parallel space-time is a bit similar to Gnosticism. Borges pointed out in "Circular Ruins" that the universe model is an infinite extension of the number axis to the two ends, and the origin can be at any position.
The concept of parallel time and space can indeed explain the paradox of time and space. However, in fact, the director of Interstellar Crossing did not set the existence of parallel time and space at all, and does not involve infinitely derived time and space.
And combined with the content of the film, there is no need for humans to save its parallel time and space in the future, just like exponentially dividing cells need not be obsessed with the mother cell.
The story of interstellar crossing only occurs in a single "field", regardless of whether the five-dimensional or three-dimensional is subordinate to the same "field."

Full analysis of details
In addition to the time-space paradox I mentioned above, "Interstellar" still has many small details worthy of interpretation.
Ⅰ- Why does the aircraft keep spinning in space in the movie?
The centripetal force generated by rotation is used to simulate the gravity of the earth.
When the spacecraft rotates, it is precisely this kind of inertial centrifugal force that is generated. According to the'equivalent principle' of general relativity, inertial centrifugal force can replace gravity. According to the narrative of the film, the rotation can make the spacecraft produce gravity similar to that of the earth's surface, which allows astronauts to find the feeling of being flat on the ground in space. "
"For interstellar navigation, gravity is not only a comfort requirement, but also related to life and health." Long-term weightlessness will inevitably bring about astronaut muscle atrophy, osteoporosis and other problems, so it is necessary to create "artificial gravity".
Ⅱ- Why does the old professor think it is impossible to obtain black hole data, and why the male protagonist did not die when he entered the black hole?
According to Hawking’s theory, let alone entering, even people who are close to the black hole will be torn apart by the black hole’s supergravity, but in Kipthorn’s view, we only use infinite data to verify the black hole, but in fact It is impossible to know how the black hole is, so the Kipthorn black hole theory, and finally the male protagonist and the robot TARS survived.
Ⅲ- What happened to the old professor's formula, and why did he tell a lie before his death?
Due to a very serious outbreak of blight on the earth, in order to avoid extinction, humans need to leave the earth and find new habitable planets in the universe. In this regard, the old professor made two plans. Plan A, take all mankind away from the earth and send them to other habitable planets to survive. Plan B. Astronauts who go out to find a habitable planet will not return. The human fertilized eggs they carry will start a new life on other planets, and humans on Earth can only fend for themselves. Plan A is of course the best choice, but there is a huge problem that needs to be solved in order to realize it, that is, how to transfer all human beings to space?
The abnormal phenomenon of gravity that appeared many years ago attracted the attention of the old professor, who realized that gravity can be controlled. If gravity can be controlled, it will not be a problem to send all human beings and huge space stations into space. The old professor has been studying the gravitational equation. After years of hard work, he finally understood half of the equation.
Due to the inability to reconcile quantum mechanics and relativity, this gravitational equation is not yet usable. The internal data of the black hole is needed, and the singularity needs to be understood to completely solve the equation. However, the event horizon of a black hole separates the space-time inside and outside the black hole, and prevents outside observers from seeing the inside of the black hole. The singularity at the center of the black hole will not be exposed in space-time. The inability to obtain the internal data of the black hole means that the gravity equation cannot be completely solved, so the control of gravity cannot be achieved.
Old Professor Brand knew this for a long time, but he concealed it from everyone. He claims to the outside world that he will be able to completely solve this equation soon, as long as he finds a habitable planet, humans will soon be able to move over. He knows that it is unrealistic for humans to unite and sacrifice themselves and their families to save others, so he lied to everyone.
From the beginning to the end, Plan A was impossible to achieve, it was just a cover. The old professor chose to annihilate his humanity and tried to use Plan B to enable the human race to continue in the universe. Almost everyone didn't know this, only Dr. Mann, who had set out to find a habitable planet before.
Of course, PlanB is not sure whether it will eventually be realized.
At the beginning, the professor who knew the truth had the real purpose of implementing PlanB, but in fact he himself was skeptical about whether this PlanB could be realized. Live, but every time you record what you want to say, it will make you feel better, and support yourself in believing that they are alive as the old man”). The data returned cannot be used to determine which planet is livable, but instead of waiting to die It's better to let the daughter go outside for an adventure, this is the meaning of the old man repeating the poem.
However, because the singularity of the Kagantuya black hole is a mild singularity, Cooper was able to safely enter the black hole and transmit the singularity data of the black hole to his daughter. In the end, Murphy, who obtained the data inside the black hole, solved the gravitational equation on the basis of the old professor's research, thus saving all mankind.
Ⅳ-Why did the space exploration team go to the planet Miller first?
The order of the distance of the three planets from the black hole is Miller's planet, Mann, and Edmonds. And from the perspective of data transmission, Miller is likely to be livable. And after they come out of the wormhole, they will first use the super attractive force of the black hole to land on Miller planet and save fuel. And Miller's gravity is 130% of the earth, the planet closest to the black hole, so it is not difficult to explain why there are such big waves on that planet, because the traction factor produces large-scale tides.
Ⅴ-Why choose the planet of Mann instead of the planet of Edmonds?
First of all, from the signal point of view, the Edmonds signal has been broken and the Mann signal is still continuing. Secondly, because Mann’s resume is better, it is theoretically the most reliable. Finally, it is because it is passing through the planet of Miller. Toss, the original fuel can no longer support them to return to Earth after exploring the planet Edmonds, and the male protagonist wants to reunite the whole family, and from the perspective of the male protagonist’s psychology, the female protagonist Brand does. Selfish, because his man may still be dormant. Based on comprehensive considerations, Mann Planet was finally selected.
Ⅵ- Why did Mann kill the male lead?
First of all, Mann doesn't want to die, "The longing for people is an insurmountable obstacle for mankind." Mann passed the false news that "the planet he is on is livable" to the earth, the purpose is to let the earth send people over, so he has the opportunity to return to the earth. The gravity of the planet Mann is 70% of that of the earth, so some glaciers are floating in the air, and the heroine will not get her feet if she jumps from such a high place.
As for why Mann knew that the male protagonist planned to return to Earth and would kill the male protagonist? This is out of heroism. If the male protagonist tells the people on Earth that Mann passed false news to survive, he will not have a face to live, and he will not be drowned by the spit star. So Mann planned to go back alone, and then use one lie to round out another lie.
Ⅶ- Why was Romiley killed?
Kip, the robot that Mann explores the planet belt, has real data. In order to cover up his lie, Mann let the robot scrap. And when the robot was scrapped, Mann set up a self-destruction program (the joke that TARS made when the male lead was repairing TARS at the end indicates that the robot has a self-destruction program). If Romily repairs the robot and accesses real data, He will be blown to death. Human fingerprints can repair robot data, so Romily was bombed into the sky while pressing his fingerprints.
Ⅷ-Why did the Mann spacecraft explode when it opened the hatch when it was not locked and docked?
Mann was not as experienced as the hero in piloting the spacecraft, so the docking was not successful. There is a constant air pressure in the spacecraft. If you open the door forcibly, there will be a pressure difference, and the pressure is too high.
Ⅸ-Why separate the aircraft when the male protagonist uses the gravitational slingshot effect to send the female protagonist out of the black hole? Can't we leave together?
One is the lack of fuel; the other is Newton’s third law, the spacecraft needs to obtain sufficient kinetic energy through the reverse propulsion of the separated aircraft. The separation aircraft can only be operated manually (the automatic operating system was destroyed by opening the door after Mann was not completely docked); third, the black hole is a mild black hole, so there is the possibility of obtaining singularity data and sending it back to the earth to save mankind. The male protagonist enters the black hole with the robot Tas holding a ray of life.
Ⅹ-Analyze the plot where the male protagonist left his daughter with stay, space agency coordinates and singularity data
When delivering the stay message, the male protagonist thought that plan A was doomed to fail and that the earthlings would undoubtedly die, so he regretted leaving his daughter to take the risk.
Later, the male protagonist contacted the robot, and TARS told the male protagonist that the black hole data was collected, and plan A can be realized with this data. In addition, TARS said that "they" did not allow the male protagonist to change history, so the male protagonist must allow himself to go to NASA. After all, plan A could not be realized if he did not go to NASA. So the male protagonist passes the space agency coordinates and black hole singularity parameters to his daughter in the hypercube, just like what happened before.
Ⅺ-How did the hero decipher the sand coordinates?
Murphy has always believed that there is an invisible person (ghost) in her room delivering information to her. Regarding the abnormality of the bookcase, she tried to use Morse code to decipher it, but the male lead thought "The bookcase will not come to communicate with you." what's the message". In the sandstorm on the day of the baseball game, the father and daughter witnessed the vision of the dust falling in the room at the same time. Later, the male protagonist discovered that the vision was caused by abnormal gravity. Under the prompt of Murphy Morse code, he thought of binary system and obtained NASA's report. Geographical coordinates.
Use sand of varying thickness to represent coordinates, that is, binary code, thick line = 1, thin line = 0. (Does not apply to reality, but just the way the movie is expressed. Cooper also said to Murphy, "You guided me (found the answer)", which made Murphy think that her father's departure was caused by her alone. Since the geographic coordinates are Useful, the "stay" message she deciphered should also have a clear purpose, so she tried to use this message to prevent the male lead from leaving.
Ⅻ-What's the matter with the gravity anomaly on the earth?
The male protagonist tries to correspond to the reasonable front and back error of the earth timeline in the hypercube. Because the timeline is flat, his influence on the operation of the hands is likely to overflow to other points in time, leading to frequent abnormal gravity events in the recent timeline.

Interpretation of the meaning of drones and other
The role of drones at the beginning of the film:
☟
1. To explain the background, the space agency has been disbanded for 10 years;
2. Suspense male protagonist status (it is not bright at this time), high-end technology male;
3. It implies that there is an abnormal gravity near the male lead’s home
Metaphors for drones:
☟
The man and two children drove to school and found an Indian drone. The male protagonist grabbed it and removed its battery. At this moment Murphy said this line with an unhappy expression——
Can't we just let it go?
Can't we let it go?
In fact, the drone represents the male protagonist himself. At that time, the ground control center had long been closed, and the drone had been flying silently for 10 years, no one knew. If it were not for the male lead, it might fly forever.
The drone is lonely and helpless. It is looking for something, romantic and desolate. Murphy has some sympathy for an inanimate machine, but the reality is cold and helpless.
The same goes for the space exploration of the hero and others. They are also looking, and they are also lonely. After they passed through the wormhole, there was no news. According to Earth time, they spent 23 years on the planet Miller alone.
People only know that they are flying deep in the universe, but they don't know what happened. Over time, the hero Cooper became a kind of memory.
Son Tom also said in the video message:
" I guess I'm letting you go. "
This is an important hint, echoing Murphy's previous words.
Faced with reality (they may have been killed long ago and will never come back), the people of the earth have to let them go. In this structure, the fate of the male protagonist Cooper and the drone coincide, and the drone is a metaphor for the male protagonist himself.
The metaphor of Lazarus’ plan:
☟
The male protagonist’s space exploration activities were called Lazarus by the old professor. Lazarus is a resurrected figure recorded in the Bible. He is already dead, but Jesus affirmed that he will be resurrected. And four days later, he actually walked out of the cave, proving the miracle of Jesus.
Resurrection from the dead metaphors that the male protagonist who entered the black hole will survive, and that the human beings in the last days will survive.
Metaphors of the three planets:
☟
Miller Planet: The gravitational force on this planet is greater than that of the earth, the atmosphere is thin, and the entire planet's surface is covered with water. This implies that the ancient earth before the birth of life
Planet Mann: The atmosphere has high ammonia content and the surface is frozen, which implies that the earth returned to the ice age after its destruction.
Edmunds Planet: The perfect planet that mankind has been searching for the most suitable for survival has not been destroyed. That is to say, even if mankind can cross the interstellar and find a planet suitable for human survival in hundreds of billions of galaxies, we need that The most suitable stage is good. How harsh is this to be matched.
Metaphor/code phrase: When we live on this planet, any damage to us will make this home gradually disappear. The possibility of finding a substitute is very low, so cherish our planet.
7/7
When people are obsessed with science fiction films, what are they obsessed with?
Because science and technology are based on irrefutable and abstract scientific principles, most people can only look far away from barriers, and it will be difficult for them to step in for the rest of their lives.
Science fiction movies have broken this barrier and built a bridge between the public and the difficult and difficult sciences that are not close to others.
Reed-like human beings are trying to challenge the huge unknown with their weak fate, wanting to look at the other side from here. When the existence in the distance lay ahead, people inevitably have an inexplicable sense of withdrawal, just like being caught breath in the desolation of time and space, falling into a long-lasting panic.
When people are obsessed with science fiction films, what are they obsessed with?
I think that in addition to intuitive aesthetic feelings, such as the sense of disillusionment that history has vanished, the insignificance of fate, and the passing of years, there are deeper things, like the inside of cold steel armor and ruthless technological monsters, those soft and tender. Human nature, and the light of hope in the desperate situation of life and death .
Excellent science fiction makes people feel the grandeur of the universe, life and other propositions, and allows people to temporarily escape from the tedious life and look up at the stars ( skeptical thinking about life)
However, it seems that most of the excellent science fiction films are from abroad... Domestic science fiction films have always been half-dead, sparse and uneven. It seems that the only one that can be mentioned is "The Wandering Earth". Moreover, everyone's attitude towards domestic science fiction films is the same as that of the national football team.
It is stated in advance that there is no meaning of admiring foreigners and stalking foreigners.
Domestically, I also want to make science fiction films. They have spent a lot of money and passed the special effects, but they just backfired. For example, a certain fortress, dressed in a sci-fi film, continues to tell stories about naked and sensational dog-blood acting.
why? What's the difference in science fiction movies? This is a big problem.
The following paragraph is very interesting:
In a famous experiment, scientists connected electrodes to the brains of several rats, and the rats could create a sense of excitement as long as they stepped on the pedals. Then, when they asked the rats to choose between delicious food and pedaling, the rats preferred to pedal. These rats stepped on the pedals again and again until they fell to the ground because of hunger and exhaustion.
Producers underestimated the inferior quality of their films, and underestimated the aesthetics of the market. At the same time, a large group of speculators are in power and dominate the film and television market.
Speculators have mastered the secret of profitability, so they continue to produce films that cater to the tastes of the audience, are sensational, and have a single model. The audience will watch it once and once, just like a rat stepping on an electrode pedal.
