Interstellar

A thought provoking science-fiction movie. A movie that is based on the fate of Mankind within Earth. A story that compels the viewer to think about life if mankind is destined to die in earth or explore the world above her?

The story takes place in the not so distant future of Earth. War is no longer necessary, Engineers are no longer the needed jobs, instead farmers are required, NASA has been decommissioned since people are more focused on the ground rather than the stars. The crops are struck with a blight soon all the crops will die out. Cooper a former NASA pilot and Engineer now a farmer struggles to provide hope and food on the table besides corn. With only his daughter and son along with his step-father they try their best to make ends meet. But eventually it doesn’t end well for everyone since dust storms are getting stronger everyday.

 

Cooper located a classified area where NASA secretly works out. Their mission to find another habitable planet for the future generation. Cooper being a former pilot for NASA was persuaded by his former professor Prof. Brand. He leaves with an unstable connection with his daughter who tried to reason with him to stay.

The movie takes on the science of extra dimensions, worm holes, time travel and the accurate science of a Blackhole. But in deeper sense it grasps the issue of meaning and purpose.

The possibilities of meaning in interstellar:

– There is no Meaning

– There is only one way

– There are infinite numbers of universes. Which means anything that can happen, can happen

– There is a supreme conscious being

– There is a ground of being that drives the ideology in reality.

The most heart-breaking scene in the movie where-in Cooper finally meets Murphy his now elderly daughter nearing death. She told him that he remembered his promise that he’ll come back but tells him to leave as no father should see his own kid die. That scene tells their renewed father-daughter bond since Cooper have left her in disappointment.
