Appeared with a mind-bending sci-fi theme but ended hastily with an almost anti-intellectual ending

There needs to be an agreement that we go to the cinema to be entertained, to appreciate a good story and its beauty with our eyes and ears, and to educate ourselves—emotionally or Philosophical...and so on; but definitely not to become a physics expert like Newton Einstein Hawking, nor to be abused by directors and screenwriters who think they have a high IQ.

If such an agreement can be reached, then about the film "Interstellar", we can use simple and clear language to discuss the rational and the objective, instead of saying a lot of nonsense that even we don't understand.

The nearly three-hour film tells the story of—
In a certain era in the future, "fusarium wilt" will prevail on the earth, and crops infected with fusarium wilt will reduce or even fail to harvest, causing widespread starvation in human society; at the same time, sandstorms are raging on the earth, seriously endangering human health. In short, the earth is becoming less and less habitable for humans due to blight and dust storms. So NASA is determined to save humanity! NASA's way to save humanity is to immigrate or colonize outer space, and scientists have developed an immigration plan A and a colonization plan B. In order to realize these two plans, NASA sent twelve groups of scientific expeditions to outer space, respectively, to find planets suitable for human habitation. Three of the groups sent back information about the planets they had reached, which might be habitable. However, the realization of the plan must also rely on scientists on Earth to solve a mysterious equation, and to solve the equation, a set of key data must be obtained, and that key set of data seems to be hidden in the "singularity" in the "black hole". So, NASA sent an expedition team composed of spaceship pilot Cooper and female Dr. Brand to reach the vicinity of Saturn in two years, and quickly enter outer space through the "wormhole" near Saturn, and then arrive at The two planets in the previous feedback information were confirmed, and it was confirmed that these two planets were actually not suitable for human habitation. However, at this time, the fuel of the spacecraft is already insufficient, and the price of someone falling into the black hole must be paid. At the same time, according to "Newton's third law", that is, the reaction force opposite to the powerful phagocytic force outside the black hole, the last remaining person can be combined with The ship, completely depleted of fuel, reflected to the third planet. Because Brand's lover may still exist on a third planet, only Cooper makes sacrifices for her "love". After Cooper, who made self-sacrifice, fell into a black hole, he arrived at the singularity, and entered the "white hole" from the singularity. This white hole turned out to be the "five-dimensional space" "parallel" to his daughter's study on the earth. . In the end, Cooper sent the data from the singularity to his daughter in three-dimensional space via Morse code, helping her solve the mysterious equation and saving humanity.

Is this a good story?

Is it much more reliable to actively manage blight and dust storms than to send six or seven billion people to colonize or colonize outer space so that humanity can be saved? Especially today when even smog can turn into APEC blue!
It can be seen that from the beginning, this is a story full of logical loopholes! It's an untenable story! It's a story the director and screenwriter tell for the sake of telling!
Once we understand this, we can find that all the disasters, deceptions, betrayals, fights, coincidences, emotions, and all the beautiful graphics, soundtracks, and physics jargon that makes people relish and feel awesome, It's all just to fill in the holes in the story! It is to use 10,000 lies to complete the first lie.

Just as 10,000 lies are also lies, the film's efforts to fill in the loopholes are themselves full of loopholes.
So, when you don't understand what finding a habitable planet has to do with that mysterious equation, when you're surprised that explorers to outer space don't carry a single weapon for self-defense, when When you feel that the characters in the film are contradicting themselves, when you think that the intelligence level of the robots in it fluctuates, when you are amazed at the fact that the body is swallowed up by a black hole and intact, when it is difficult for you to understand why from five When the dimensional space can only send Morse code to the three-dimensional space and cannot carry out other information transmission or control... Please don't think that you have not learned physics well, and don't think that you have not understood this movie, but secretly rejoice, Your brain hole is at least smaller than the loophole in the film!

It is also worth mentioning that at every critical moment in the film, the same keyword - "love" will appear. Perhaps this "love" is the theme that the director and screenwriter want to express most.
However, what a twisted and absurd "love" this is - in order to "love" the entire human race, Cooper would not hesitate to leave the child who needed his "love" most; and once he embarked on the journey of interstellar travel, Cooper would have "love" because of "love" His children risk everything; when Cooper decides to sacrifice himself and fall into a black hole, he is thinking neither of "love" for all of humanity nor for his children, but simply to bring a fellow woman Bran De sent her to her "love"...

If only the story and themes are so unbearable, if the film only appears with mind-boggling sci-fi themes and ends in an almost anti-intellectual ending, then it can also be said that our entertainment and leisure Yes, we'd love to! But the most unbearable thing is that the film reveals that the director and screenwriter stand at a false intellectual height, mercilessly abuse the audience's viewing experience and ridicule the audience's IQ to the best of their ability.

This is so disrespectful!

    The first thing I did after the show was to find out where "Do not go gentle into that good night" came from. Maybe I'm the kind of audience that Nolan abandoned first. 【Review 2020.02.01】

    The drama is quite weak, and the lens of the universe is beautiful; for a three-hour movie, it is very catchy, and the setting does not seem to be complete; the script dialogue and performance are not very good; there are quite a few scenes that pay tribute to 2001, so fans may There is a reason to see.

Interstellar quotes

  • [first lines]

    Murph: Well, my dad was a farmer. Um, like everybody else back then. Of course, he didn't start that way.

  • Cooper: [Cooper sits to watch the video messages left for him over the years] Cooper.

    Computer: Messages span twenty-three years.

    Cooper: Play from the beginning.

    [message from Tom starts playing]

    Young Tom: Hey, Dad. Checkin' in, sayin' hi. Um... finished second in school, Miss Carlin's still giving me Cs though. Pulled me down, but second's not bad. Grandpa attended the ceremony. Um... oh, I met another girl, dad. I, uh... I really think this is the one. Her name is Lois. That's her right there.

    [Tom holds up a photo of Lois, Cooper, overwhelmed with emotion, begins weeping]

    Young Tom: Murphy stole grandpa's car. She crashed it, she's okay though.

    Tom: [we see another message from Tom showing him as an adult] Hey, Dad. Look at this!

    [Tom holds up his baby next to him]

    Tom: You're a grandpa. His name's Jesse. I kind of wanted to call him Coop, but, Lois says maybe next time.

    Lois: [to Jesse] Say bye-bye Grandpa. Bye-bye Grandpa.

    Tom: [Cooper continues to watch his messages, the next one shows Tom looking despondent] Sorry it's been a while. Just... what with Jesse and all. Uh... grandpa died last week. We buried him out in the back plot next to mom and... Jesse. Just where we would've buried you if you'd ever... come back. Murph was there at the funeral. We don't see her that much, but she came for that.

    Tom: [Tom hesitates] You're not listening to this, I know that. All these messages are just... drifting out there in the darkness. Lois says that, uh... I have to let you go. And, uh... so, I guess... I'm letting you go. I don't know where you are, Dad. But I hope that wherever you are you're at peace. Goodbye.

    [Tom turns off the camera, Cooper touches the screen not wanting to let go when suddenly a message from a now adult Murph comes up]
