Seeing the lightning and thunder, the ancient humans were terrified, so they sought the protection of totems and mountain gods; the Jewish kingdom of Babylon was imprisoned and destroyed, so there was Deuteronomy, telling them that they are the chosen people of the only true God of Jehovah; The Black Death swept across Europe. People thought that the end times were approaching, so they flogged their bodies and practiced asceticism; the chaotic 21st century made people seriously worry about the prophecies of the apocalypse, some sought spiritual relief, some waited for the prince charming from outer space... … The cave dwelling primitive people saw the glowing sun for the first time, and they uttered a heartfelt admiration for this miracle, and couldn’t help kneeling down; Moses, a shepherd for forty years, saw the burning thorns in the wilderness. He was inspired by God and led the Israelites out. Egypt; On the road to Damascus, Paul suddenly went blind and heard a voice from the sky. From then on, he converted to Christ, whom he had persecuted, and tried his best to preach; The rapid development of space technology in the 20th century finally gave the curious mankind wings. Responding to the call of the firmament to the deceased for thousands of years... The sense of religion of mankind is often inseparable from the fear of unknown things, or being attracted and inspired by detached external forces, such as the barbaric land, and the present of scientific prosperity, it is still inseparable from these The most primitive instinctive reaction. Just as in Interstellar, the driving force for Cooper to go to heaven again is the fear of blight and sandstorms, and the worry about the future of mankind; NASA's plan is because it believes that wormholes are unknowable powers to rescue mankind. ; And the Ghost in Murph's bedroom has changed from a nightmare to a puzzle. Like all redemption myths, the beginning of the story is pessimistic. Ecological destruction, thought control, and the degradation of enterprising spirit. Human beings are struggling on the line of survival. Years are worse than a year, waiting for death and powerless. This is probably the closest to reality and more. The cruel doomsday. Human beings go to heaven, driven by the survival instinct that resists death, and also responds to signals sent by higher wisdom. What lies behind is the undead curiosity and adventurous heart, with pure confidence, behind all mysteries, there is redemption and everything. s answer. Of course, this dauntless redemption plan was a success. The climax and achievement of redemption occurred in the black hole, where Cooper found not only the way of redemption, but also the epiphany of the mystery of redemption and the meaning of human existence. Therefore, Interstellar, or certain science fiction novels, can also be regarded as just another form of myth that returns to eternity. There are many keys to decode Interstellar. Many people hold scientific theories, some of them are human nature and love, and my one is "Lazarus Resurrection". In the film, Dr. Brand said that this salvation plan His name is "Project Lazarus," which means death and resurrection, Cooper said, but he must pass through death before he can pass from death to life. The name seems to refer to the pioneering twelve scientists, and even the later Cooper and others need to pay the price of their lives to make a way for the future of mankind; and perhaps there is another layer that is not so noble. More real meaning: Only by sacrificing the human beings on earth can we find a broader world for the future human race. But the metaphor of Lazarus's resurrection does not stop there. Among the four gospels, the Gospel of John is the most special, and the resurrection of Lazarus also has a special place in this special gospel, not just because it is only recorded in this book. Compared with the other three Gospels, the structure of John’s Gospel is particularly concise. From the time Jesus came out to preach to his crucifixion and resurrection, John only recorded seven miracles performed by Jesus, "Lazarus is resurrected." , Is the last miracle, undoubtedly the climax of Jesus's preaching career. Its importance is not only because of Jesus' ability to transcend death, but also because this story directly and concretely records a side of Jesus that is rarely seen in other scriptures. "Jesus cried. The Jews said, you see how earnest he loves this man." This is about one of the most well-known verses in "Lazarus Resurrection." Jesus cried. The Son of God has never been so like the Son of Man at this moment. In the story of Lazarus, the love of Jesus is mentioned twice. It is not an abstract love, but a concrete and tangible intimate relationship between people. John said, "Jesus always loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus", and said through the mouth of the Jews, "You see how earnest he loves this man." God loves the world through the gift of his only begotten son to the world, and through the tears that his only begotten son shed for the people he loves. God's plan of salvation is not a super abstract idea, but must fall on a certain point in time and space, and be truly involved in history. The salvation of the Son of God and the Son of God is not conceptual, but must be historical, determined by history The event composition, which is the unshakable foundation of constant debate in the Christian faith. In the five-dimensional space of the black hole, Cooper was in the collection of time in Murph's room, and suddenly realized: It is not that we need "them", but "them" needs us! All-knowing and omnipotent are like "them". Even if they have the technology to implement redemption, they cannot achieve it. "They" build the five-dimensional space of Murph's room, attracting Cooper to this step, because "they" need Cooper and Murph's room. The implementation of redemption requires a real point in space and time, a real moment in history, where the redeemer and the redeemed come into contact. "They" as the other in the distant world cannot grasp and find that historical moment. They need Cooper, a person who truly lives in this history to locate. And it is love to allow abstract redemption to communicate with reality, without becoming a decoder of murmurs. Because compared to all grand theories, love is the clearest and most powerful signal and connection between one individual and another. God's love for man drove God to come to the world in the image of man. God walks with man and lives with him, making salvation possible. This is the incarnation of Christianity, the Avatar of Hinduism, and the mystery of salvation that Cooper enlightened in the black hole. "Father, I thank you, you have listened to me. I also know that you often listen to me, but I say this for the people standing around me, to make them believe that you sent me." Jesus is about to This is what Lazarus said in the prayer before his resurrection. Another special feature of John’s Gospel is that Jesus constantly declared and emphasized the close and intimate relationship between him and his Father, and proposed at the Last Supper that he would give the Holy Spirit comforter to his disciples. The Gospel of John clearly shows that the triune relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not a theological discourse, but the only feasible narrative of the close and indivisible relationship between the three persons. The Trinity, doctrinally speaking, is one God with three persons. According to some theologians, the only God composed of three persons can only be compared with love. The Father is the beloved, the Son is the beloved, and the act of love is expressed through the Holy Spirit. The three are different, but they must appear at the same time to constitute the action of love. Without any convenience, there would be no so-called love, and there would be no god. Just like in the black hole, the redemption is the human being from the future; the human awaiting redemption is the human being living in the 21st century. For Cooper, it is the little girl who is sobbing and bewildered behind the bookshelf, making him worry; And that puts this redemption into practice , It's Cooper-a human being. So at that moment, Cooper realized that there was never a distant Other, it was not "them" but "us". They are both groups, independent individuals from different eras; they are also one, belonging to the same race. In this redemption event, Cooper felt that human beings, as a race, transcended the barriers of space and time. We are one, and our destiny is closely linked; this moment of redemption is accomplished by the presence of "us" and cooperation. If this story stays in the selfless or accidental salvation of mankind by an intelligent individual from outer space with high technology in the future, it is still a cliche story from a human-centric perspective—not only the entire world, but even the entire universe revolves around mankind. , As if they are so unique and precious. It can be said that not only the redeemed, but the redeemers are human beings, and even the omniscient and omnipotent redeemer is human, which seems to be the pinnacle of anthropocentrism. However, after crossing the limit of arrogance, the story became interesting again. The struggle, conflict, disappointment and loneliness in the interstellar space, as well as the helpless pain of being left in the past for hours in the sky, the world has been like a world away, the whole world and everything has been stolen by time, and only oneself is left in the past (that is the whole The only sensational moment in the film that touched me), these suddenly became no longer important. Human beings are driven by fear, loneliness and expectation to explore space, and the final answer needs to let go of these personal gains and losses, and entrust self to a larger collective consciousness. This is the second epiphany of Cooper in the black hole. His self-awareness is immersed in a larger "I". He is no longer a hero who turned the tide in the traditional sense, but a member of the vast family of mankind. Without his compatriots from the future, the door of redemption would not be opened; and without his efforts, redemption could not be implemented; and without the trust and response of his daughter on the earth, redemption would not be achieved, everything is in the heart. "Lord, if you were here long ago, my brother would not die." The crisis that has repeatedly appeared in Interstellar is a race against time. People in space race against the environmental crisis on earth, and people near the black hole race against people on earth. Time and efficiency are the key to this plan. At least they believe that if they run short of time, they will lose everything. The story of Lazarus is also a story of a race against time, at least in the eyes of the disciples and Jews outside of Jesus. Martha and Mary sent a message to Jesus when Lazarus was seriously ill, hoping that he would come to heal their brothers. They were confident in Jesus' healing power, but they were afraid that he would not be able to arrive before Lazarus died. Of course However, Jesus deliberately delayed and even lost time deliberately under the gaze of everyone's expectation. By the time he set out, Lazarus had died of illness for many days. When Martha and Mary met Jesus, the first sentence was "Lord, if you were here long ago, my brother would not die." This complaint seems to be a confirmation of Interstellar, Cooper and others' fear of being late in space, and the incomprehension and resentment of the loved ones on earth about being late. Later believers interpreted that Jesus was deliberately late in this passage, saying that it was because Jesus intended to deliver greater salvation. When Martha’s faith fell only on Jesus’ ability to heal the sick, Jesus hoped that they would put their faith in him. It is the promise of the Lord of Life, focusing on his relationship with the Almighty Father God, and this redemption will not only benefit Lazarus and his sisters, but also benefit all mankind. It was he who came into this world. Purpose. In order to demonstrate this redemption and convince people, Jesus must let Lazarus experience death and his sisters experience despair. Just like Jesus himself, he must experience death before he can be resurrected. Cooper was slowed down by black holes twice. The first time was on the first planet covered with water. He calculated carefully to minimize the time loss. He was frustrated and angry at the failure of the operation. After boarding the spacecraft, he Weeping bitterly at the missed years. But the redemption arranged by mankind from the future world is destined to be realized only at the risk of infinite delay in time. For the second time, Cooper actively chose to give up. Not only did he give up the struggle to catch up with time, he was even prepared to lose to time completely and eternally. But the vitality is hiding behind death and giving up. It is not only the formula for the salvation of human beings on the earth at this moment, but also The secret of getting rid of the fear and anxiety that go hand in hand with mankind is the mystery of man's place in this universe and the meaning of existence. At the moment of falling into the black hole, Cooper didn't know all of this. He might be ready to sacrifice, perhaps with a little luck, hoping to find a faint hope behind the darkness. Although his confidence is small, the reward he finds is great. Many people say that there are many coincidences in this movie, and the protagonist is almost lucky to be unimaginable. Perhaps only in unreasonable places, people need to take a leap of faith. "The resurrection is with me, and the life is with me. Those who believe in me will be resurrected even if they die." In the Christian concept of salvation, people's faith rests on God's love and power, and the omnipotent God and his The plan is connected with the tiny human beings on the earth. It can actually fall in Palestine more than 2,000 years ago. It can allow God to walk with people and live together. It can be recorded by later generations with the most vivid memories. It is Jesus' Taoism. Physical body. He is both a god and a human being. When people see the supreme and invisible Other, they have become "us"; and the mysterious and mysterious way has been practiced in a way that people can understand and imitate---love your neighbor as yourself. Let the others contact us, and build this bridge to make the equations equal, it is Jesus who is both the Son of Man and the Son of God. In Interstellar, the myth no longer needs to be like the incarnation of the God, like the Avatar who builds a bridge, the other is originally "us", we are the redeemed and the redeemed, our faith does not need to be placed in ignorance The other end is our own, and what makes us our own gods is love, self-sacrifice, and confidence in human nature. Some people say that Nolan is still the greatness of humanity, or sentimental, or talk about love, and the space cave is boring. Perhaps the audience expects that behind the mysterious and mysterious special effects and ideas, there should be shocking conclusions and discoveries, rather than these clichés of love and sacrifice. But maybe Nolan just wants to tell us that those love and sacrifices that we are tired of repeating, feel nothing new, are so important, and it is even worth hiring a bunch of Hollywood stars to find physics giants, plant a cornfield, and burn one. A lot of dollars to tell us. Maybe love is Chen Gu’s rotten numbness, maybe it is an ordinary daily thing, such as father-daughter love, love between lovers, such as fellowship...Although we are used to it, we even disdain to talk, but these are infinite and endless. Behind the numerous loves and connections between people is a greater “love” that allows us to let go of ourselves and connect us into a community of great love, the trivial loves we experience, even just a certain In an instant, it is just a fragment and reflection of this great love. This great love is the meaning of our human existence. It is the only way for us to find salvation and self-salvation. Only by practicing one after another of these humble and insignificant loves in our daily lives can we grasp the eternal An instant. Seeing this, some Christians have to jump their feet again, criticizing Nolan for replacing limited people in the position of the supreme Almighty God to talk about salvation as a kind of blasphemy. But let’s not forget that Jacob in Genesis was I saw a vision in my dream. I saw a ladder connecting the earth and the sky, and angels going up and down the ladder. The tradition of John’s Gospel is about a supreme and eternal way that descended from heaven to earth, fulfilling the mission on earth, proving that he was the Son of God and returned to heaven again; but this tradition has another aspect, that is, Jesus as the Son of Man After performing miracles on the earth and resurrecting from death and ascending to heaven, he descended the Holy Spirit and returned to the earth and promised that he would come again for the second time. Whether in the traditions of Judaism or Christianity, God is never a superior and distant other from the world. Going up and down is the consistent logic and pattern of his behavior. I like that Nolan didn't let the future humans in Cooper's mouth show his face. They quietly laid the chessboard, and when the task was completed, they quietly disappeared. Yes, we don’t need to know who they are, what they look like, and why they do it. Because what matters is not what the other or "us" is. The only thing that is closely related to our destiny is what many religions talk about, but believe that the other has become "us" because of love.
