It's a film that truly brings tears to your eyes and produces scientific dreams. Because that's how we clumsily and passionately study humanity's most fundamental questions: where did we come from, what is the ultimate secret of the universe, and may never know the answer.
Humans' understanding of themselves and the universe is too limited. After all, the history of human existence, in the time we know of the existence of the earth, is not even the blink of an eye, let alone the vast universe outside the earth. The charm of science fiction films is to develop imagination in these unreachable fields, triggering people's thinking about themselves and their environment.
With so much foreshadowing, what I want to say is that this is why I don't think Interstellar is a good sci-fi movie.
Passing through the wormhole and falling into the black hole is actually just a carrier for Nolan to tell a family story. The theory is correct, but the imagination is lacking. After human beings have an understanding of their own situation in the universe, their natural reaction is fear. This unknown fear immediately inspires human beings to explore the universe as we see in science fiction and movies. Fear and curiosity are the imagination. A place to inspire.
It is here that "Interstellar" does very limited work. He shows us what we already know, such as passing through wormholes to create space folding, and the parts we don't know yet. The film does not inspire more imagination and passion. For example, the protagonist falls into a black hole and can play an infinitely possible part, but in the end it just arrives. . . (No spoilers here). As for the ultimate answer we most want to know, where is the redemption of human beings, and whether there is a higher life to guide us, Nolan just gave the answer of "love can go through everything", and the theoretical part is all omitted.
In the future, human beings will become the omniscient God in the universe, and we will no longer explore the universe in a small way, but control it arbitrarily. This omniscient perspective has created a male protagonist who can never die and can be rescued even by floating in the universe. I am not against the fact that man has finally conquered the universe, but I feel very disappointed to see that the universe after being understood by future humans is only within the scope of human experience. Although in Asimov's classic base trilogy, human beings are also unimpeded in the universe, but in the end Asimov proposed a new paradigm of life, using imagination to give a reasonable explanation, in interstellar travel, All the explanations we see are blank sheets of paper that Murphy threw in the air.
It can be said that the true expression of human insignificance and fear in the unknown universe is not as good as "Gravity".
But "Interstellar" still tells a family story after all, repeating the theme of love vividly countless times, with twists, adventures, suspense and decryption. But there is a lack of imagination, and there is no bright spot in the excavation of human nature.
