The table lamp that was blown to the ground by the strong wind released a dim light, transforming the room into a demonstration stage from near and far, while the slowly falling sand and dust laid out a criss-crossing maze in an orderly manner, and the entire space was filled with light. It was shrouded in a hazy halo of mist, and then the dust fell on the ground, forming a sequence, like a mathematical puzzle or a scientific code, not only mysterious, but also terrifying.
In an instant, all the attention in the entire auditorium was concentrated. This is Nolan, who is familiar to the audience. His own whimsy infiltrated the sci-fi system. In the process of lens structure and editing and splicing, he even added That mysterious philosophical temperament permeates the image.
Now think back to the content of the opening twenty minutes, about the end of the world, about ghosts, about sandstorms, it seems that all the details have become the key to solving the mystery, which also makes people think of "Deadly Magic" or "Following" and other works. , those seemingly unimportant narrative details can often become an important puzzle piece of the entire movie, which in turn highlights the charming temperament of the entire movie, and "Interstellar" suddenly becomes interesting.
The movie finally gets to the point.
Cooper sat in Murphy's room all night before finally deciphering the truth about that "dust labyrinth", "It's not a ghost, it's gravity."
Cooper then told Murphy that it was not Morse code, but binary, and through binary parsing, a landmark could finally be drawn.
Cooper marked the coordinates on the map and decided to drive there; although he repeatedly refused Murphy's pleas to go with him, Murphy still managed to sneak into the pickup truck and forced Cooper to take him with him. On himself, this time Cooper still couldn't refuse.
After a long drive, Cooper and Murphy arrived at the landmark in the middle of the night, only to find it was a private area fenced off with iron fences, and no outsiders were allowed in and out. It was marked "North American Air Defense Command". But Cooper still tried to cut through the iron fence with iron pliers, and was... arrested.
The one who arrested Cooper was actually a robot that looked like a square iron box, a square robot composed of four cuboids, and the word "tars" was written on the outer shell. He questioned Cooper alone, trying to find out who Cooper was. How to hack the coordinates found here.
But because he didn't see Murphy, Cooper refused to cooperate and insisted that he needed to see his daughter before he was willing to cooperate.
Then, finally, humans appeared, Dr. Emilia-brand, the daughter of Cooper's former NASA boss, Professor Brand, who led Cooper Came to a conference room and formally met with Professor Brand and other senior management.
Only then did Cooper know that this seemingly completely abandoned base was actually the seat of NASA.
Because of the blight, all human beings have fallen into the dilemma of starvation. First wheat, then okra, and now only corn can grow, which is why Cooper started to grow corn after he became a farmer; the White House asked NASA to And the relevant military departments dropped bombs on slums to reduce the burden on the state, but after being rejected, these departments were all closed.
Then the government/government realized that reducing the population burden was not the real solution, because there were still more serious problems that needed to be solved immediately, so NASA secretly reorganized. In an existential crisis situation, the people are absolutely not Those who may agree to these seemingly unnecessary expenses, especially the illusory action of exploring space, are far less important than their own food, so they can only stay underground, and at the same time, the funds are very limited.
reason
Because corn may not last for a long time, the fusarium wilt will soon start to eat corn; more seriously, the fusarium wilt is eating oxygen to produce nitrogen. According to the current progress, human beings may not have time to starve to death soon. Possibly suffocated to death.
The generation of Tom and Murphy is likely to be the last generation on earth.
"So, tell me, how exactly are you going to save the planet?" 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 now where they are. The last pilot I have. Although Cooper has never been out of the atmosphere, the pilots owned by NASA have never even left the ground. In comparison, Cooper is already the best choice.
But Cooper scoffed, "An hour ago you didn't even know if I was still there, but you're still going."
"That's no choice." Professor Brand replied, "But somehow, you came here, and they chose you."
"Who are 'they'?" Cooper didn't understand.
Professor Brand did not answer.
Cooper asked again, "How long will I be going."
"I don't know, maybe a few years." Professor Brand remained ambiguous.
Cooper shook his head with a struggling expression. "I have kids, Professor."
"Leave the earth and save them." Professor Brand is very convincing.
Cooper hesitated, then returned to his previous question, "Who are 'they'?"
When the camera screen returned to the conference room again, these senior and enthusiastic audience members in the screening hall could not help but adjust their sitting positions and began to sit up, because they all knew that Nolan's "brain-burning moment" was coming. From "Deadly Magic" to "Inception" to now "Interstellar", all of them are like this. If you miss the explanation of the principle, it will not be so easy to understand the direction of the plot later.
There was a faint commotion in the auditorium, not the sound, but the trivial movement of friction or the turning of the chair, but then the audience realized that they were not the only ones adjusting their seats and focusing their attention. The flow of tacit understanding adds fun to the viewing process.
Forty-eight years ago, a wormhole appeared next to Saturn. Since then, the earth's gravity has undergone many incredible changes, affecting people's lives in all aspects, including Cooper's crash. 's autopilot was clearly disturbed, as were the anomalies in Murphy's room, not ghosts, but physical phenomena that scientific knowledge could explain.
Wormholes don't appear out of nowhere, and NASA speculates that's what "they" placed next to Saturn: this wormhole could lead to another galaxy, with a dozen planets there, which could be the second most suitable for human existence This "earth" has also become an exploration mission of NASA. They need to find a new living environment that can transfer humans before the living environment of the earth deteriorates further.
Although NASA can't say who "they" are, it all happened, and the wormhole appeared next to Saturn, which is the best proof.
Ten years ago, NASA sent a group of twelve scientists led by Dr. Mann to explore and evaluate the twelve planets to see if they were suitable for human survival. If the answer was yes, then they would Sending signals and waiting for rescue from Earth, each scientist's landing module has two years of supplies, although they can use hibernation technology to observe on the planet for ten years or more, but now ten years have passed. , everything is unpredictable.
And if the answer is no, and they can't wait for the rescue of the earth, then they will never "return".
Now, there are three potential possible targets among the twelve planets. NASA needs Cooper to lead an exploration team to another galaxy through the wormhole to see if the three potential targets are really possible to survive. Is it really possible to become another home for human beings on earth
"If we found a home, then what..." Cooper asked another question.
Professor Brand prepared two sets of plans.
The first plan is to convert the launch capsule into a centrifuge, which is also a transport vehicle or a space station. They try to control the gravity to launch the launch capsule, which will be able to become a large transport vehicle, but... Now Still in the theoretical stage, and still can't get along with the solution, so I started to prepare the second set of plans.
Throw in humans.
To be precise, it should be the release of fertilized eggs, because 5,000 fertilized eggs are less than 900 kilograms, 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 method. go down.

But the downside of the second scenario is that all humans on earth will die, which is why Professor Brand has been working on the first scenario.
There was silence in the entire screening room. With the progress of the story, the magnificent worldview constructed by Nolan was laid out bit by bit. Now they finally understand the meaning of the movie title "Interstellar". This story is obviously better than they imagined. Even more grand and majestic.
The step-by-step narrative method allows all the anxiety and confusion to settle down, allowing myself to calm down and truly enter the story.
At this point, look back at the solid narrative at the opening stage. This commercial blockbuster shows the true feelings of an independent work. The thick and sincere emotions slowly penetrated into the viewing process. "Save the earth, find a home", Putting such a grand and huge theme on Xiaojia is enough to make every audience feel the same. Instead of shouting the slogan "I want to save the earth", he chose to stand up for his own children.
Many times, those so-called heroes are not the real saviors, but just protect a piece of land deep in their hearts.
For the sake of his children, Cooper nodded and agreed to Professor Brand's request.
