A Science Film, Which Is Less a Film And More An Experience
Movie name: Interstellar (2014)
I can say with full confidence that Interstellar is not an ordinary science fiction film. This is a film that leaves all other space films behind, not because it has more space, but because it takes science seriously. And I understood this when I saw this film for the third time, and I felt that this is not a film, but an experiment.
Every time you watch it, new ideas will arise in your mind. That is, the thought you had when you saw this movie for the first time will be wrong the second time you watch it, and the third time you will say, "Man, I came from somewhere far away." This idea made me realize that this is not just a film, but an experiment that you will repeat as many times as you want.
All the science fiction films I have seen use science only as decoration; in Interstellar, science drives the story. Here, emotions also breathe within the laws of science. I still remember when I first heard the name of this film. The name Interstellar sounded strange; it means between the stars.
I was wondering what would happen between the stars? Space? Darkness? Or something that we don't know yet?
Believe me, when I was watching this movie, I realized that I can't travel like this anymore, so is this a movie that will show the world between the stars? Thinking of the stars, I remembered those moments of my childhood when I used to keep my bed under the sky, and sometimes I would spend the middle of the night looking at the stars, and sometimes my eyes would get tired while counting them.
Maybe you also remember, so I downloaded this movie and watched it. When I watched this movie, everything was understandable at first, but as the story progressed, the burden on the mind increased. This is a movie that is not understood at once, and perhaps this is its biggest success.
Talking about the story of the movie, it takes us to a future where the Earth itself has become a problem for humans. Dust, crop failure, and lack of oxygen are not imaginary things; these are the same problems that science is warning about today.
The film does not show the future; it shows us our end. Joseph Cooper, a widower and former NASA test pilot, now works as a farmer and is raising his children, Murph and Tom, with his father-in-law,w Donald. During a dust storm, Cooper and Murph discover that the dust patterns in Murph's room, which they previously thought were the work of a ghost... ..
The most important thing in the story is the secret of NASA that has been hidden from the world. A wormhole, which appears near Saturn. The wormhole is not made into a magical door in the film, but rather presented as a scientific possibility.
Cooper goes to a secret NASA agency where Professor Brand explains that a "wormhole" appeared near Saturn 48 years ago, which leads to another galactic system where there are twelve potentially habitable planets, located near a black hole "Garganchoa".
The Lazarus expedition had already gone to these planets through the wormhole to examine them, and Miller, Edmund, and Mann had sent back promising results from there. In fact, wormholes are shortcuts in spacetime. Where distances of millions of light-years can be covered in a few moments. This is where Interstellar differs from the rest of the movies.
Then comes the black hole Gargantua. This is not a movie black hole. This is a black hole whose shape, the bending of light, the accretion disk, everything is based on real physics. There is no CGI here; equations are at work. That is why this film was taken seriously even by scientists.
When Cooper enters this black hole, the scenes suggest that he will be destroyed because the human body cannot withstand this great gravity. But this does not happen. Suddenly, he finds himself in a strange room, and time is the biggest enemy in the movie Interstellar. An hour on Miller's planet is equivalent to seven years on Earth.
And this is not poetry or philosophy; this is Einstein's relativity. This is the moment when a person realizes, while watching the movie, that time is not the same for everyone... I did not see the movie in this scene; I saw the helplessness of a person. Cooper is a father, not a scientist, but he has to make decisions that only a scientist can understand.
Here, emotions are not kept aside, but they are fitted into the system. When I first saw this movie, I thought it was a normal science fiction story. That is, it was amazing, but only to the extent of a movie, because at that time, I did not get to experience such energy.
An attraction that was the core of its story, and that attraction (gravity), that energy (energy) was love. I understood the theory of relativity of time well, but I could not understand the relativity of fatherly love or the relativity of love. Love is a cosmos in its own existence.
A fascinating cosmos whose gravity is so infinite that the impressions of all creation are found in it, and in this film, Matthew McConaughey has presented it with such sophistication and beauty. You realize that. Love is such a feeling that frees a person from the prison of time. Love is a feeling that time can never imprison............
The most misunderstood part of the Interstellar movie is the ending. Some people say, this is philosophy, there are emotions, but the fact is that here too there is science.
A world of four dimensions where time is not a line, but a place. Cooper sees the past, present, and future together.
He cannot speak, but he can send a message through gravity. This idea is shocking but impossible. In the world of mathematics and physics, the Tesseract is called a four-dimensional (4D) shape, like a cube in three dimensions.
Similarly, this room was not like the ordinary world, there time was laid out like walls and corridors. Cooper looks at his daughter Murph's room, but his vision is not a single moment. He sees all the scenes of the present and the future. He sees his daughter's childhood, sees her young and thinking, and sees her growing up and becoming a great scientist and old in the future.
Cooper realizes that he cannot reach his daughter, but he talks to her through "gravity." He lets the books fall, moves the clock hands, and finally, through Morse code, he tells the secret to Morph, who is going to give new hope and life to all of humanity from Earth to space.
And thus, in the love of a father and daughter, he breaks the dimension and gravity, which makes us realize the true power of love. And this is where Interstellar tears the emotions inside the heart. A father who is imprisoned in the ocean of time. A daughter who is growing old on Earth. The only connection between the two is through gravity.
Seeing this scene, I felt that science is sometimes truer than emotions. After watching the movie Interstellar, I realized that my eyes will never be able to see this, and I will never be able to go to space. Every frame, every second, where my heart was desperate, Hans Zimmer's music made the soul desperate as if I had gone out into another world.
Hans Zimmer's music is not the background here; it is part of the movie. Every second is a heartbeat. Christopher Nolan did not make a film, but he left the viewer in space. Watching Interstellar, you realize how small man is, and how big the universe is.
This film does not tell us that we will conquer the universe; it tells us that the universe is tolerating us. To me, Interstellar is a beautiful film, and it is worth watching again and again. Because every time a new scientific angle comes to light. Interstellar is not a film; it is a scientific experiment, which affects both the mind and the heart.
Because after watching the film, when you wake up, you will feel that you have returned from a journey to a world you do not know. And in the end, I will just say this: Interstellar is not science fiction; it is science.
