When the male protagonist Cooper walked into NASA for the first time, the astronauts told him that there was an artificial wormhole over Saturn, which must have been put there deliberately by someone to save us.
At the end of the film, the "Cooper Space Station" hangs over Saturn. In the future, humans have established a five-dimensional space. Cooper said that without "them", what will save us is our future self.
"Interstellar" repeated the famous paradox in countless science fiction movies:
humans were rescued by relying on Cooper's data from the black hole;
the reason why Cooper was able to get the data from the black hole Data is a five-dimensional space specially created for Cooper by people who have been saved by the future and are extremely technologically advanced.
However, Nolan managed to find the dimension of "time". When Cooper fell into the black hole and entered the three-dimensional space in the five-dimensional world composed of "time flow", Nolan used Cooper's randomness in choosing time when passing information to his daughter Murphy, from his hands The intuitive expression of "time flow" is toggled, thereby explaining to the audience the possibility of human beings in the five-dimensional space traversing at will in "time" - naturally, this is a brain hole that has not been scientifically confirmed. But what is important is that this setting perfectly overturns the existence of the law of causality, and completely solves the logical paradox of "human beings save themselves"; because in a multidimensional space where time can be traversed at will, the so-called causality and causality in the three-dimensional world Logic is nothing but scrap paper.
You may even suspect that Nolan chose a theme like "Interstellar" precisely to solve this logical paradox, because perhaps only after the introduction of theoretical physics and the introduction of the concept of "dimension" can we do To control the time, to violate the law of causality, to rebel against the logic of traditional narrative, or to be more accurate, to be molested.
In a sense, "Interstellar" is not "hard" science fiction at all. All physical knowledge, so-called scientific consultants, are just a means - what Nolan wants to do is a counter-narrative that violates causal logic. However, the paradox is that he tried his best to appear sophisticated and logical in the process of narrating the meta-narrative of the counter-narrative, so he chose to use theoretical physics and explore the subject of interstellar space.
This is a demonstration, a somewhat offensive game. Compared with this, the so-called "philosophy of love" and "dimension of love" are not important; it is like when a group of people are arguing, someone steps up , flipped the table, and then walked away. It's not even about physics, it's not about wormholes, it's not about black holes;

Apart from that, it can actually be said that Nolan did not give us much new things. Nolan is still clumsy and mediocre in the plot itself, which again constitutes a wonderful contrast to the genius and whimsy in his presentation of the story. Cobb in "Inception" leads the audience to the deepest subconscious dream realm in the human heart, but it is only to steal a company's trade secrets in exchange for being able to go home and reunite with his relatives; the library in "Interstellar" Po led the audience through wormholes, traveled to aliens, rotten Ke for years, fell into a black hole, and finally even came to the five-dimensional world to switch the time, all just to "save human beings" and go home to reunite with his daughter.
Nolan's other shortcomings continue to be exposed, such as the poor personality of the supporting characters in the protagonist team, the low sense of presence, the dull action scenes and scenes, and the slow pace of dialogue and literary dramas. The proud "parallel editing" and "two-line narrative" are even a bit of a miss - the film does not explain the motives of Murphy's actions as it does Cooper, so Cooper's journey on the spaceship and Murphy on Earth It is difficult to say that there is any qualification worthy of parallel editing.
In the final analysis, when "Interstellar" uses the standard Hollywood family ethics story mode, it determines the upper limit of the film's own expression, thinking, and interpretation, and ultimately leads to the film's inability to sublime. Compared with last year's "Gravity", both sides have the same vulgar and boring plot theme, but "Gravity" decisively weakens the plot motive, and strengthens the charm of the universe itself, which finally seems to touch the ultimate concern of man and nature. It has come to the realm of "big sound and sound"; and "Interstellar", but it does the opposite, trying to repeatedly strengthen a weak and unsteady theme, so the space for interpretation and touch is compressed, and then It can't break through the barriers of commercial films - yes, "Interstellar" has excellent and touching family scenes and rare wonderful acting skills, but these want to convince those who have tricky tastes and want to see non-Hollywood style, and most of them don't believe it." "Love", the audience who are looking forward to the charm of the universe itself, obviously there is still a long way to go.
But in fact, are we demanding Nolan? He is not God, but we all regard him as God.

In any case, these three hours are not to be missed anyway.
Finally, there is a big-production movie that dares to turn the scenes that people have imagined many times in the science fiction that has been developed for decades into reality. , travel through wormholes, explore aliens, in the epic life of the organ and piano, and even travel through black holes to see the singularity.
There is finally a sci-fi movie, which may have nothing to do with Nolan's original intention, but when the vast and distant galaxies, the photons shining in the black hole, and the five-dimensional space where fingers can move time appear on the screen - let us It could even be said that there is a moment when we may be able to perceive the highest impetus, or closeness to the divine.
Finally, there is a serious film, "love" can truly be regarded as a tangible and eternal existence, and even become a dimension, and reason can truly face the sensibility: at certain ends of science and philosophy, we can write poetry ; In the world of causal logic that has been shattered, find a trans-dimensional, more lofty perceptual value.
