"Interstellar" was very special to me. It reached a psychological level that even "Interstellar", which made me cry like a dog at the time, could not touch. This extremely personal emotional experience completely immersed me in Roy's heart. Going through the exploration, I can also understand a thousand percent of the admiration the astronauts have for Clifford, because he is played by Tommy Lee Jones, and it's incredible to have a role like this at his age.
If you know me, you know that I grew up with a passion for extraterrestrial life, and I never questioned the idea that we are not alone in this universe. Humans could land on the moon in the late 1960s. Now, to explore the unknown, to advance to infinity, human beings are destined to go further, the spirit of exploration should be the belief of our species, leading us forward, this blue planet is only a starting point after all.
And it's pretty funny. It wasn't the great men in history that made me so obsessed at first. The one-dimensional history was too serious for me when I was a child, but one day I saw the "Black Super SWAT Team" ", it's K, it's Tommy Lee Jones who makes me fascinated by the starry sky in front of me, it's his character and image that make me believe everything I know, how small in front of the universe, I don't know if you can tell me from my pale I understand a little bit in the words, but it was really like In Inception, I was implanted with a belief.
James Gray must understand the pure spirit of exploration, otherwise he would not have made a movie like "The Lost City of Z", and in "Interstellar", Percy in the jungle becomes Clifford in space, following in his father's footsteps Jack also became Roy. But I don't know what kind of thoughts made Gray cut the steps to the Promised Land with ultimate loneliness, and its conservative and mainstream ending makes me sick.
Or a kind of despair, this film gives me the feeling of a silent question after irony. According to the level of technological development, the moon should have a base long ago, and Mars should have an outpost, but we stopped and stopped, What about the explorers? Less and less, gradually withering, when Clifford said that people like us are about to become extinct, I really don't know how to describe the sadness, why he said it himself.
Everyone is saying that Gray portrays loneliness in the universe, but in the face of Clifford's loneliness, everything else seems to be worthless. Look at his young photos, it's exactly what K looks like. Don't MIB people have even the slightest bit of selfishness? Could it be that they gave up their original life just to protect the world? Don't talk, you have to admit that the universe in MIB is too tempting, the serious and old-fashioned K will also show his emotions when he sees the image of his wife, even if that person has long not known him, and Clifford, the years only make him desire Even more determined to say things like never caring about his son.
Tommy Lee Jones had a "Space Cowboy" in 2000 (which happened to also have Donald Sutherland), Tommy finally "fly me to the moon", obsession makes death seem extra romantic, and his ending is similar to Clifford's ending. Compared with each other, it will be more chewy. Gray's expression is indeed very retro in the United States of the last century. Clifford is like an old cowboy, a real space cowboy, Ethan Edwards of Neptune, Shane of the edge of the solar system, they are destined to be unstable, There is no way to return, the jungle is their home, there is the legendary city of gold, space is their home, because those things that are denied by the so-called science are the place of belief.
I know I know, the narration and reshoots of the "Interstellar" post-fill, this version is really heavily influenced by the studio, but I still have to say, it's fucking good.
