The desk lamp, blown over by the strong wind, gives off a faint yellow light, which turns the room into a demonstration stage from near to far. The dust falling slowly presents a crisscross labyrinth in an orderly way. The whole space is shrouded in the hazy halo of fog, and then the dust falls on the ground, forming a sequence, Like a mathematical puzzle or scientific code, it's not only mysterious, but also terrifying.
In an instant, all the attention in the whole screening hall was focused. This is Nolan, who is familiar to the audience, who permeates his own fantastic ideas in the science fiction system. In the process of lens structure and editing, he permeates the mysterious philosophical temperament into the images.
Looking back at the first 20 minutes of the story, it seems that all the details about the end of the world, ghosts and sandstorms are the key to understanding the mystery. It also reminds us that in works such as "fatal magic" or "following", the seemingly unimportant narrative details can often become the important Jigsaw puzzle of the whole film, And then set off the charming temperament of the whole film, "Star Trek" immediately became interesting.
The movie finally got to the point.
Cooper sat in Murphy's room all night, and finally solved the truth of the "dust labyrinth." it's not a ghost, it's gravity. "
Then, Cooper told Murphy, this is not Morse code, but binary, through binary analysis, finally can get a landmark.
Cooper marked the coordinates on the map and decided to drive there; Although he repeatedly refused Murphy's request to go with him, Murphy managed to sneak into the pickup truck and forced Cooper to take him. This time, Cooper was unable to refuse.
After a long drive, Cooper and Murphy arrived at the landmark in the middle of the night, only to find that it was a private area surrounded by iron fences. It was forbidden for outsiders to enter and leave, and it was marked "North American air defense command". However, Cooper tried to break through the iron fence with pliers, and then he was... Arrested.
Cooper was arrested by a robot - it looks like a square iron box robot, which is composed of four cuboids and a cube robot with the words "tars" written on the shell. He asked Cooper alone to try to understand how Cooper cracked the coordinates and found it.
But because he didn't see Murphy, Cooper refused to cooperate and insisted that he would not cooperate until he saw his daughter.
Then, human beings finally appeared. Dr. Emilia brand, the daughter of Professor brand, Cooper's boss when he worked at NASA, led Cooper to a meeting room to meet Professor brand and other senior managers.
At this time, Cooper knew that this seemingly completely abandoned base was actually the site of NASA.
Because of Fusarium wilt, all human beings have fallen into the dilemma of food shortage - first wheat, then okra, now only corn can grow, which is why Cooper began to grow corn after he became a farmer; At the beginning, the White House asked NASA and relevant military departments to drop bombs on slums in order to reduce the burden of the country, but they were all shut down after they were refused.
Later, the government realized that reducing the population burden was not the real solution, because there were more serious problems to be solved immediately, so NASA was secretly reconstituted. In the situation of survival crisis, it was absolutely impossible for the people to agree with these seemingly unnecessary expenditures, especially the illusory action of exploring space, Far less important than their own food, so they can only stay underground, at the same time, the funds are very limited.
reason?
Because the next corn may not last long, Fusarium wilt will soon begin to eat corn; What's more, Fusarium wilt is devouring oxygen to produce nitrogen. According to the current progress, human beings may have suffocated before they can starve to death.
The generation of Tom and Murphy is probably the last generation on earth.
"So tell me, how are you going to save the earth?" Cooper asked.
"We're not going to save the planet, we're going to leave." This is Professor brand's answer. After introducing their ongoing space exploration program, Professor brand sent an invitation to Cooper, because Cooper is the last pilot they have now. Although Cooper has never been out of the atmosphere, the pilots owned by NASA have never even left the ground, Cooper is already the best choice.
But Cooper scoffed. "An hour ago you didn't even know if I existed, but you would still start."
"There is no choice." Professor brand replied, "but in the dark, you come here, and they choose you."
"Who are they?" Cooper doesn't understand.
Professor brand did not answer.
Cooper asked again, "how long do I have to go?"
"I don't know, maybe a few years." Professor brand is still ambivalent.
Cooper shook his head, struggling. "I have children, professor."
"Leave the earth and save them." Professor brand is very persuasive.
Cooper hesitated and went back to the previous question, "who are they?"
When the camera images returned to the conference room again, these experienced and enthusiastic audiences in the screening hall could not help but adjust their sitting posture and began to sit up, because they all knew that the "brain burning moment" belonging to Nolan was coming, from "fatal magic" to "Inception" to "Star Trek" now, all of them, If you miss the explanation of the principle, it's not so easy to figure out the direction of the plot.
There was a little commotion in the screening hall, not the sound, but the trivial movement of friction or chair rotation. But then the audience realized that they were not the only one to adjust their seats and focus their attention. The tacit understanding between them added fun to the viewing process.
Forty eight years ago, a wormhole appeared next to Saturn. Since then, there have been many incredible changes in the earth's gravity, which have affected people's lives in all aspects, including Cooper's crash - his autopilot was obviously disturbed, and the anomalies in Murphy's room are the same, not ghosts, It's a physical phenomenon that scientific knowledge can explain.
The wormhole will not appear out of thin air, and NASA speculates that this is the wormhole "they" placed next to Saturn: This wormhole can lead to another galaxy, where there are 12 planets, which may become the second "Earth" suitable for human survival. This has also become the exploration mission of NASA - they need to find the wormhole before the earth's living environment deteriorates further, Find a new living environment that can transfer human beings.
Although NASA can't tell who "they" are, it's true that wormhole appears next to Saturn, which is the best proof.
Ten years ago, NASA sent a group of 12 scientists led by Dr. Mann to explore and evaluate the 12 planets to see if they are suitable for human survival. If the answer is yes, they will send out signals and wait for rescue from the earth. Each scientist's landing module has two years of supply, although they can use dormancy technology, Ten years or more of observation on the planet, but now ten years have passed, everything is unpredictable.
And if the answer is no, they can't wait for the earth's rescue, then they will never come back.
Now, there are three potential targets among the 12 planets. NASA needs Cooper to lead an exploration team to go to another galaxy through the wormhole to see if the three potential targets really have the possibility of survival and can become another home for human beings on earth.
"If we find a home, then..." Cooper asked another question.
Professor brand has prepared two plans.
The first plan is to refit the launch module into a centrifuge, which is a transport vehicle or space station. They try to control the gravity to launch the launch module, which will become a large transport vehicle. But... Now they are still in the theoretical stage, and there is no solution. So they started to prepare the second plan.
Human beings.
To be exact, it should be to put in fertilized eggs, because 5000 fertilized eggs are less than 900 kg. They can give birth to new life in a new home, and then continue the hope of human life through the most primitive and simplest way.
But the disadvantage of the second plan is that all human beings on earth will die, which is why Professor brand has been studying the first plan all the time.
The entire screening hall was silent. With the progress of the story, Nolan's grand world view was gradually unfolded. Now they finally understand the meaning of the movie title "star crossing". The story is obviously more magnificent than they thought.
Step by step narrative way let all the anxiety and confusion all precipitated down, let oneself calm down, really into the story.
Looking back at the solid narration at the beginning, this commercial blockbuster shows the true feelings of an independent work. The thick and sincere emotions slowly permeate into the process of watching the film, "saving the earth, looking for a home." it puts such a huge theme on a small home, which is enough to make every audience feel the same, Instead of chanting the slogan "I want to save the earth," he chose to stand up for his own children.
Most of the time, those so-called heroes are not real saviors, just to protect their inner land.
For the sake of his children, Cooper nodded in response to Professor brand's request.
