the ultimate loneliness

This is destined to be a useless movie review.
When the lively and lovely little girl was dying, dying on the hospital bed, looking at her young father, I shed hot tears. I remembered a sentence in "The Adventures of Li Xianji", he knew that for so long, time was only on himself, and it passed turbulently. I feel so lonely.
Common sense about the laws of physics involved in the movie is no longer novel. Special relativity, general relativity, quantum theory, string theory. I won't go into details here. Nolan weaves a dream for us, and then wakes us up to find that living in a vast universe and the future of human beings is incomparably small. There are many reasons for liking Nolan, and perhaps an important one is that he throws out the story and the ending, leaving some room for imagination at the same time as the seemingly happy ending. His movies have a sense of extension. It's like the wrestling of good and evil in Batman's Dark Knight, the spinning top in Inception, and the male protagonist in the film flying a spaceship to the unknown, looking for Ms. Brand who was trapped in time and space.
Hardcore sci-fi is written or acted to a certain extent and becomes a horror movie. The theater was eerily silent as the spaceship flew over the lonely planets and made its way silently in the dark. Human exploration of the universe is the ultimate and most terrifying one. In this vast universe, the narrow space on a small spaceship gives people on the voyage a strange life tension.
As in "The Moon and Sixpence", I don't feel that everything that happens in the film looks evil at all, but more like the primordial chaotic force in the universe, which is Ms. Brand Naturally, what he said was Professor Mann's cowardice in trying to murder everyone and fleeing alone, and it was Professor Brand's deliberate concealment. It all boils down to one word: survival.
A strange and contradictory phenomenon. In a major battle, there were heavy casualties, and these casualties, in the eyes of future generations, are often only one of the huge numbers. When faced with the survival of human beings and the survival of individuals, the survival of individuals is often downplayed. But at the same time, as the subject of knowledge, each person is the decisive factor that dominates all this. I think that although old Professor Brand is conceited, he alone carries an enormous burden and guilt. Plan A or Plan B, which is better or worse, Nolan's film gives us a warm choice, but is this really the case?
Old Professor Brand is extremely lonely, the mind that carries the last hope of mankind on earth, and is helpless in the face of the demise of mankind, maybe as he said, as a physicist, what he fears is not death, but time . Perhaps at some point I should overturn my earlier claim that what he did was not evil, as the "arrogance" thesis discussed in Dogtown, perhaps the dominant It should be God, but since the film is a sci-fi rather than a religious film, such a topic will no longer be discussed and will be put on hold for now.
Little Murphy, who solved the mystery of gravity, was also lonely. She was constantly wandering between choosing to believe and giving up hope. Before her father's message came, she was desperate and roaring. She felt betrayal, helpless, and suspicious. It can be seen that although human beings are subject to many ethical and moral constraints, as well as laws and principles, in essence, they are also consequential. This can't help but remind people of the clown's words: If it is not a last resort, who doesn't want justice to be awe-inspiring.
The male protagonist is lonely. He sent back a message to save the earth and his family, but he lost his social relationship after returning home. This shows that people's sociality is deeply rooted. A word from her daughter wakes him up, go find Brand, who is still fighting for the future of humanity alone somewhere in the universe. The male protagonist is an American hero, but the heroes in Nolan's films are more or less lonely, and this imperfection makes these heroic characters more flesh and blood.
Ms. Brand is a figure of constant compromise. Perhaps women are more rational than men on the issue of ultimate survival, perhaps because they are more emotional and vulnerable. But she still compromised. Between Mann and her boyfriend, she still listened to the advice of the male protagonist and chose the icy planet. She seems to have been dragged away, but finally lived to the end, between this series of choices, including her own father, seems to regard her as the object of protection and an outsider, but in the end, it is this Seemingly weak woman. Men's heroism chooses to die, and women's humiliation bears the burden of giving birth to life.
In this movie wrestling with the grand power of nature and the universe, Nolan threw us this sentence: If we want to save ourselves, we do not rely on gods or so-called five-dimensional creatures, but ourselves. Through the distortion of space-time caused by the gravitational field, he has weaved a beautiful story for us that lasts for decades, but at the click of a finger.
In the prehistoric times of the universe and history, we all have our own place. Sometimes, that place is our home, and sometimes, that place is countless light-years away. Finding that place is easier said than done, but the premise is that you choose to move forward and choose to start.
The contact beyond time and space may be like the "first contact" between Ms. Brand and the male protagonist in the distorted space and time of the wormhole. It may seem far away, but maybe it is the person next to you that you are pulling. hand.


ps: At the end of the article, I can't help but have a question: in the huge gravitational field, the passage of time slows down, but the people in the film are not squashed. Maybe my physics is still not good enough.
