INTERSTELLAR

Christopher Nolan – director, producer, writer 
Jonathan Nolan – writer

We had to chose a film to coment it, a love film. I didn't want to chose the tipical love story, so I thought in other kinds of lovhe, apart of the romantic love. What about a film with "family love"? You could say that Interstellar isn't a love film, but there's a strong connection between the members of the main family. Specially between the main character,Cooper, and his daughter, Murphy. If you have seen the film, you'll understand wha tlove I'm reffering to. The main characters talk about the love too, the love to the live, the survival instinct...

[Film... 1:28:25]

• Cooper: You're a scientist, Brand.
• Brand: So listen to me when I say that love isn't something that we invented. It's... observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
• Cooper: Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...
• Brand: We love people who have died. Where's the social utility in that?
• Cooper: None.
• Brand: Maybe it means something more - something we can't yet understand. Maybe it's some evidence, some artifact of a higher dimension that we can't consciously perceive. I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it.

 
Plot: In the year 2054 Earth is devasted by disasters, sandstorms and droughts. The mankind realize that the time of living in the Earth has finished. The NASA (now a secret organization of the government) has found a wormhole in the solar system, allowing mankind to reach a new part of the universe, maybe with new planets.
Joe Cooper is a farmer and an ex-engineer and pilot, he is widower and he lives with his son (Tom) and his daughter (Murph).  One day a weird fact guides Joe and Murph to somewhere, and this will change  their future and the mankind's future.

 I don't want to explain more about the plot, NO-SPOILERS.

This film is one of my favourites ones. I love the science films in general, those that could be "real". In the film they talk about warmholes, the relativity, hiper-dimensional places or conceptions, problems with the time and the relativity... This makes me crazy! The relationships in the film are moving, the sad moments and the happy moments are balanced, there is a lot of tension too, but not too much. It is easy to feel empathy with the main characters. I like it also because it is a long finl (169 minutes) and it changes a lot while the time runs. It begans in an original way, then it seems a typical (but a good) science-fiction film, and then at the end... *****. The film is also a criticism of how we take care of our home, the Earth. The film is intense, and after watching it it doesn't let you indifferent.
I love all Christopher Nolan's film, he and his brother Jonathan Nolan are genius.

I raccomand this film to anyone who has time and wants to watch a good film, even to who doesn't like the sciencefiction. 

Interstellar has won a lot of awards too.

Quotes:

• Cooper: This world's a treasure, Don; but it's been telling us to leave for a while now.  

• [comforting his daughter] Cooper: I love you, forever. You hear me? I love you forever. And I'm coming back. I'm coming back.

• Brand: Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but... it can't run backwards. Just can't. The only thing that can move across dimensions, like time, is gravity.

• Dr. Mann: You're feeling it, aren't you? The survival instinct. That's what drove me. It's what drives all of us. And it's what's gonna save us. Cause I'm gonna save all of us. For you, Cooper. 

• Cooper: We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.  

• Dr. Brand: Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 

• Cooper: We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.
