In Interstellar, the brutal reality of time is dramatically amplified by the time dilation caused by gravity. But it can show us something crucial – how do we experience time in our lives?So how should we respond to such cruel forces of nature? My simple answer to this is: we can't run away from time, but we can outdo him, and we're getting better and better.
Interstellar stills because humans have an arguably unique ability: to fight against time by recording linguistic images. In the beginning, for a long time, the important way was the book text, and the book allowed us to go back in time. Not just to experience the stories that happened in the past, but also to cultivate a sense of cultural history and history and to transmit ideas and techniques. And so human civilization emerged. Imagine what today's society would be like without the cultural accumulation of the pastIs it still in the primitive era of Ru Mao drinking blood?Today, we feel the past through words, recordings, and movies. This enhanced ability to transcend time is known as "non-temporality".
One consequence of non-temporality is that our ever-growing traces of contact with the past will sever our connection with time. This trait is developed to the extreme in Interstellar through the creatures of the five-dimensional space. Creatures in the fifth dimension can touch any timeline, but this freedom has become a disadvantage, and time is infinite for them. But finding a particular moment is undoubtedly as difficult as finding a particular drop of water in the ocean. Unless we have a way to create a connection, and that is the purpose of the existence of the five-dimensional space.
Now, to better understand what's going on inside the 5th dimension, we first need to understand another movie that clearly inspired Interstellar. That's the French film of 1962.
is a 30-minute science fiction movie. The narration connects the ** together, as if the story is full from the beginning, after the 3rd World War destroyed Paris, people are forced to flee to escape the radiation, a group of scientists, hoping to travel back in time to change the status quo.
They experimented on prisoners, only to find that most of them went insane after leaving the timeline. Like the creatures of the five-dimensional space in Interstellar, they can't find a moment to connect with them through time. Scientists eventually succeeded in sending a man back to the pre-war period because he had a strong memory of a woman's face, which led to a connection. The narrator explains that ordinary moments cannot be memoried, and that only the subsequent scars can make the moment remembered. The woman's face was the only peacetime image left after the war, and he often wondered if he had actually seen it, or if he had just imagined that tender moment as a counterpoint to the madness that followed.
Interstellar stills Similarly in "Interstellar", Murphy is the one who is haunted by time: in that memory, her father left her, leaving only her and an inexplicable ghost in the bedroom. She transcends time: she is the one who has been haunted by childhood. When we compare to Interstellar, it's clear that being trapped in a five-dimensional space isn't about Cooper, it's about Murphy.
In the opening scene of the movie, he even told her: "After you two were born, your mother told me a sentence that I never understood", and he said, "Now, we are the memories of the children in the future". Notice again that Murphy was still wearing his jacket 10 years after Cooper was gone. It is her connection to the past that gives Cooper, a creature who has become a five-dimensional space, a specific anchor of communication, a link formed by love. Cooper realized in the five-dimensional space that what he found in the five-dimensional space was not his love for Murphy, but Murphy's love for him, and it was Murphy's love for him that created a bridge of communication and understood all this, which gave Cooper the confidence to convey data through the watch, and he knew that Murphy would come back to pick up the watch. Because this is the watch he gave Murphy.
Interstellar stills, like in "Embankment", "Interstellar" uses love as a quantifiable force to guide people in the dimension of time. This is not to say that love is something beyond nature or has its own dimension, or that it is the answer to all our problems. As Alan Stewart said, "Life is a strange journey through time." "A familiar and unfamiliar structure. Forever binds us and avoids us at the same time. In practice we find ourselves in the fact that we will eventually pass away, and that the death of the self is always approaching in the distance. "Interstellar" shows how love is inexplicably entangled in life, not just in a form of sadness, but on a deeper level, we inevitably encounter grief over time. Scene after scene, we are losing forever. In the face of such melancholy, "Interstellar" finally turns to poetry rather than science.
Interstellar stills "Don't step into the silent night, the twilight years should also burn in the twilight." Resist, rebel in this time that will be. "Dylan Thomas's poem is often understood as an unyielding resistance to death, and after watching Interstellar, I think it is a rebellion against time, a rebellion against the entropy that pushes our universe into nothingness. Time is the real villain in this film. As Professor Brand said, "I am not afraid of death, I am an old physicist, but I am afraid of time". It seems that the only thing we can do is to throw ourselves into the arms of all the memories that will eventually disappear, whether it is the sounds of the Earth in outer space or the testimonies of our lives, while continuing to open up the strange territory of this strange dimension, and there are many more frontiers to explore.
