The movie, it's over.
Melodious and sad piano music is flowing slowly in the screening hall, the light is still not on, the whole room is in a dark state, and the list of producers is slowly appearing on the big screen——
"Director: Christopher Nolan", "screenwriter: Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan", "producer: Emma Thomas", "producer: Langley hall"
The minimalist white font is slowly displayed on the black screen, just like the black-and-white keys of the piano. In the silence, there is a tenacious and gentle force, which makes the surging mood of the audience slowly settle down. The subtle and unique experience keeps a rare quiet.
They need a little time.
Graham anticipates the end of the movie: Cooper and Murphy finally meet again, while Tom becomes a handful of loess; But Graham did not expect the real ending of the film: Cooper and Murphy separated again, because Murphy had a home of his own, but Cooper's home was completely destroyed in the torrent of time, and his only dependence was brand, so he embarked on the journey of looking for brand in the vast universe.
Is this a happy ending? Or a sad ending?
Graham couldn't find an accurate way to express himself, just like when he watched "crazy love": they finally got together, but they didn't seem to belong to each other any more.
What is the so-called home? It should be the space constructed by the fetters between people, with memories and present belonging to each other. The casting of each "today" finally constitutes the future belonging to itself and each other, and there are still traces of each other in the grand blueprint. But if this kind of fetters is irreversibly separated and alienated by time and space, does the home still exist?
People are still those people; But it's not that anymore.
What's more, which memories belong to human beings are real? Cooper's memory is real, and Murphy's memory is also real. However, in the reversal of "one hour equals seven years" of black hole gravity, Cooper's and Murphy's memories have undergone a huge dislocation, and eventually they both become illusions in each other's memories——
In Cooper's memory, Murphy is still eight years old. She doesn't even understand Einstein's theory of relativity, and he has to go back to his daughter, because that's his promise.
In Murphy's memory, Cooper is still 31 years old, absent-minded because of his wife's death and career transition. She believes that her father will definitely come back, because he promised her.
In reality, Cooper, who is still less than 35 years old, has experienced the thrilling experience of interstellar crossing and finally returned home, but the world he knows has been completely destroyed. So, is his "existence" still real? Or is he a wandering soul floating in space?
In reality, Murphy, who is 101 years old and has a huge family of her own, has become a hero in the space station. She still remembers her childhood memories of the farm, but it is more than 80 years ago. Is her "memory" still true?
Cooper and Murphy are still the family members who care about each other most, but they are strangers who do not know each other, because they have missed each other's most thrilling years, and the memory and commitment once deeply buried in their minds have become a symbol in the mirage.
So, does the "home" defined by Cooper and Murphy still exist? Murphy chooses to embrace death in front of her family. She is no longer Cooper's daughter, but the big parent of the whole family. She has her own dependence; Cooper, on the other hand, went to space alone to find the only partner who had experienced interstellar crossing with him, but did the fetters they had built up after crossing time and space still have the original meaning?
Can brand be Cooper's home?
At the end of time travel, are they going to be alone? Is it true that all human beings come and go alone? This road of life, in the end, will have to go on by themselves. All the fetters and all the homes are just greed and extravagance?
Everyone knows that time is powerful and merciless, but it seems that such a feeling is neither true nor accurate. Is there an emotion that can overcome time and space? It's like the connection between Cooper and Murphy, through the five-dimensional space to complete the communication, let each other back to each other again.
"Love" is a powerful force that time can neither erase nor stop. It can overcome everything and build bridges and fetters between each other; But... Is that true? When time still reverses and distorts, when time relativity leaves indelible traces on each other's physiological and neural levels, can "love" still keep its original freshness and vividness?
Cooper still loves his daughter.
Murphy is still in love with her father.
The fetters never seem to wear out; But in the framework of social ethics, in the long river of time, they are doomed to be unable to accompany each other. All life, all objects, all deeds... And even all emotions and memories, whether physical or spiritual, will eventually disappear under the huge effect of time. So what should human beings do at this time?
Is it true that human beings are lonely after all?
About time. About family. About fetters. About home. About social structure. About interstellar crossing. About loneliness, about hope, about commitment, about the future, about survival, about choice, about life, about the universe... And about yourself. Under the vastness of time and the universe, human's insignificance has been magnified to the extreme, and even began to produce a sense of helplessness, and then fell into a daze and confusion, unable to extricate themselves.
Countless thoughts are rushing in my mind, one after another, but all the thoughts are question marks. One problem has not been solved yet, and then another problem comes out. Then one by one, they pile up and finally fall into a pile of question marks, So that there is no way to make any response, just sitting on the seats in the projection hall.
Graham knows that he needs a little time, a little recovery time, and a lot of digestion time. The theme of this film is family love, but the matrix is "time". Through the collision and adventure of family love, the power of time is magnified to the extreme, creating endless possibilities.
Even deeper and more complex than inception.
The first time watching the film is not over yet - the subtitles of the staff behind the scenes are not finished yet, but now Graham can't wait to watch it for a second time, and he has a hunch that he may need to watch it for a third or even a fourth time, because there are so many question marks in his mind.
But the difference is that it's not because you can't understand it. In fact, the core theoretical knowledge of "Star Trek" is not so complicated, and even if you don't fully understand it, it won't affect the understanding of the film, which is more grounded than "Inception"; It's just because I understand it that I need more time and more details to help myself complete the reflection - watching movies repeatedly is for my own thinking, but also to really enjoy it.
"Time", just this theme, can give rise to numerous side effects; What's more, Graham has another reason to go to the cinema again——
Langley hall.
The whole movie is magnificent, vast and profound, pushing the power of time and space to the extreme. Every picture is magnificent and exquisite, which is amazing. But what always lingers in Graham's mind is the eyes of Langley
Farewell Murphy left the earth, the eyes of the reluctant and sad; The sadness and bitterness in his eyes when he realized that he had missed 23 years after he returned from Miller; Standing was detonated into a high-speed spin, about to be destroyed and had to gamble, the eyes of perseverance and determination; The gentleness and fortitude in the eyes of ranger as she separated from standing and bid farewell to brand forever; And the loneliness and hope in my eyes when I leave the space station for the journey again when the ending is coming
It's all about eyes.
Those complex emotions, lanli did not use too many fancy techniques to modify and deduce, just through a look to complete the communication, the heart of the faith bit by bit carved out, virtually the role of the growth arc outlined in the audience's mind, moving and shock so slowly permeated out.
No matter how magnificent the picture is, no matter how touching the story is, Graham can never forget the eyes of lanli. They are the eyes of a father, an ordinary person and a human being. They are not heroes or great men, but they can easily defeat all his armor and hit the softest part of his heart.
At the end of the film, the subtitles are still rolling slowly, and the thoughts in Graham's mind are still surging. It is estimated that the next 48 hours will not stop. However, when the lights in the screening hall light up slowly, Graham finally breaks away from the sea of numerous question marks and realizes that this is the premiere of "Star Trek", And they just finished enjoying this rare masterpiece of emotional resonance, the excitement and excitement burst out like this.
Stand up and clap.
It's just such two simple movements that show all the joy and happiness in Graham's chest. The smile on the corner of his mouth is a big radian. He likes such moments - to be exact, he loves such moments, because the film makes him feel very real.
