Was the apple that hit Newton cast by the future?

I wrote two pieces of this film review, one after watching the movie today on November 13, 2014; the other after watching the trailer for the first time on May 19, 2014, a full six months have passed between them. I have kept these two articles, which can be regarded as my own "interstellar crossing"><. And the wormhole connecting these two time and space is my thinking.
The biggest impression after watching the movie is, according to the theory in the movie, will Newton’s apple be cast by the future people to inspire us? (Because gravity is the only medium that can travel through time and space and transmit information)
We humans have always thought that we are constantly moving forward on our own, but will there be such a possibility-our inventions and creations are actually following the future Explore the clues that people leave us? Just like Murphy in the film, everyone thought she solved the puzzle by herself, but in fact she solved the puzzle by relying on the ghost, which is the clue left by her father.
Nolan’s film realizes an illusion I had when I was a child from the side: aliens are not actually aliens, but humans in the future, who want to return to Earth and see who they were in the past. However, due to the high level of evolution and different languages, we can no longer recognize them, so we mistake them for aliens. In fact, they are just future humans who have immigrated to other planets and have returned to the past through black holes. Of the earth.
Then, everything is back to the original point: Is the entire civilization process of mankind an infinite loop? We are the ghosts of people in the past, and people in the future are our ghosts, just like this, repeating endlessly, experiencing interstellar crossing time and space time and time again, just to leave a message to the one we love-
perhaps love is. The wormhole that connects the past and the future.
Wandering forever in the boundless night, shining brightly.

, people are also exploring at the same time A self I have never seen before. In addition to technological progress, this is a test of people's hearts.
On the blurry boundary between fantasy and reality, the softness of humanity is always the one that sleeps peacefully.
This is why I like Nolan. His works always have a kind of compassionate feelings; no matter how incredible his fantasy, how shocking the visual effects, how unexpected the narrative techniques, Nolan presents to us far more than these curious pleasures-his films are rooted in People's hearts. Emotion, in his works, is always the hand that opens Pandora's Box.
In Nolan's movies, my favorites are "Shards of Memory" and "Inception". Although they are telling stories that I can never experience personally, I still feel the same. In the memory fragments, the confusion, brokenness and loss felt by the male protagonist due to amnesia, the despair of being unable to control his own life, the struggle between trapped beasts, and the sad memories of losing his lover over and over again—all resonate deeply with me. In the space of Inception, what I have long unforgettable is not the ever-changing dreams, but Meyer sitting in the window of the hotel, closing his eyes to the desperate Cobb, and gently chanting "There is a train, a train that takes you" far away...", and then jumped down.
Perhaps, for Nolan, fantasy is like a laboratory-to put human beings in an extreme situation that is seriously disconnected from reality, observe their emotional changes, and use this to compare us in reality. itself.
After all, even if you travel to the interstellar space, it is emotions, not spaceships, that sustain humans.

Interstellar is Nolan's first real science fiction film. The previous Inception and Batman were not supported by rigorous scientific theories, and were more like fantasy action movies. The trailer was cut very well and inherited Nolan's usual style. It made me feel the temperature of humanity and the depth of thought. After reading it, my heart calmed down.
The beginning of the trailer said, "We don't lack airplanes and televisions, what we lack is food." This sentence reveals the starting point of interstellar travel. The people regard food as the heaven, and "food" here symbolizes the return to the foundation of human nature, the return to the most primitive, fragile, and respectful state of nature. Because when we face the vast universe, we don’t understand much more than primitive humans. Astronauts travel across the interstellar space in search of food, which in itself is a gesture of humility toward nature-seeking nature due to their own limitations, rather than challenging nature out of the desire to conquer.
In the film, scientists continue to warn astronauts that we must face two realities: one is that nothing in the solar system can save us; the other is that in order to save mankind and save our own children, we must leave the earth and step on On a journey through interstellar. Because "our destiny is far in the sky." This idea of ​​"leave the earth and explore space" has been in various science fiction works for a long time. It conforms to the current situation that the earth is overwhelmed by environmental pollution and resource depletion. It is in line with the development trend of science and technology and the long-term interests of mankind. Therefore, this kind of sci-fi setting is more resonant to us than superheroes fighting monsters.
There is also a thought worth noting in the trailer, Murphy's Law, which is also the name of the hero's daughter. The male protagonist gave his own interpretation of Murphy’s law: “Murphy’s law does not mean bad things, but only things that may happen, which will eventually happen.” This also shows the male protagonist’s attitude towards interstellar journey: only Time can give us the answer.
The hero of StarCraft is played by Matthew McConaughey, which makes me very happy. Because I like his acting style very much, and I think his temperament fits Nolan's movies very well. It was "True Detective" that let me know Matthew, in which he played a gloomy police detective. In fact, I didn't understand how the case went. I was completely fascinated by Matthew's personal charm. I watched the whole season in an unclear state. What's interesting is that the title song of "True Detective" that I once cycled every day is called "Far from any road", and it resembles the emotional tone of "Interstellar Crossing"! Matthew's sexy and low-pitched Texas accent is also my favorite. Any character in his mouth is calm and desperate. It's like the tone of Raymond Carver's novels.
The little actor who plays Matthew's daughter in the film is also very eye-catching. If I remember correctly, she should have played Edward and Bella's daughter in Twilight. His big sad eyes and fair skin all carry melancholy beauty. She and Matthew play together, and the short scenes in the trailer are enough to show the love between father and daughter. On the collar, sharp-eyed children's shoes found a touching detail-in the trailer, there is a scene in which the grown-up daughter is standing in the burning cornfield and looking at the sky, but she is wearing the clothes her father wore before leaving.
The soundtrack in the trailer is also great. The author is Hans Zimmer. The soundtrack made by this German musician for Inception is a must-have BGM for my writing. The momentum is grand, the melody is strong, and the necessary places are ethereal and delicate. It seems that in addition to vision, we will also enjoy an auditory feast.
At the end of the trailer, a celestial body like a glass ball appeared in the starry sky. The white spaceship slowly rotated inside, presenting a nearly transparent and pure beauty of space. I don't know if the glass ball is a black hole. If so, it is the most beautiful black hole I have ever seen.
It is said that there are more particles that make up human beings than all known stars. Then, the most magnificent nebula in my body must be the heart. Carrying emotions, slowly spinning in the silent darkness. When I miss someone, a meteor shower starts.
I tried to imagine myself floating among the stars. That kind of loneliness, that kind of silence. Lost everything, only the heartbeat is left. Traveling through countless galaxies, blurring the boundaries of time and space, and seeing wonders beyond human imagination; in front of the infinity of the universe, the self-esteem and beliefs of human beings collapsed little by little-at that moment, what else would I remember?
Could it be love.
I believe it will be love. Because before flying into the universe, I have seen the Milky Way—at the moments when I kiss my lover and hug my long-lost relatives—the Milky Way is pouring into my heart. Human emotions are so mysterious, not simpler than interstellar travel. Sometimes, people spend their entire lives without a definite answer.
I don't know how it feels to travel through a black hole. Maybe it's like, the Milky Way is pouring in my heart.

    Love traveling through time under the influence of gravity is the dimension of human existence.

    While adventuring in space, there is a popular emotional drama on the other. No matter how hard the appearance is, sci-fi: wormholes, black holes, space adventures, multidimensional space...the core of it is still family affection and love. Science and theory actually serve emotions, wrapping the softest emotions in a hard shell. And because of this, it will not be a serious and great science fiction film like 2001, but it will have a fuller sentiment. Including those tear spots

Interstellar quotes

  • Cooper: [whispering] Tell me something. Doctor Brand, and Edmonds...

    TARS: Why are you whispering? They can't hear you.

    Cooper: Doctor Brand and Edmonds, they close?

    TARS: I wouldn't know.

    Cooper: Is that a ninety percent wouldn't know, or ten percent wouldn't know?

    TARS: I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.

    Cooper: Ah. But not a poker face, huh?

  • Brand: Cooper, you can't ask TARS to do this for us.

    Cooper: He's a robot. So you don't have to *ask* him to do anything.

    Brand: Cooper, you asshole!

    Cooper: Sorry, you broke up a little bit there.

    TARS: It's what we intended, Dr. Brand. It's our only chance to save the people on Earth. If I can find a way to transmit the quantum data I'll find in there, they might still make it.
