Introduction

Interstellar is a 2014 epic science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon and Michael Caine. The film features a crew of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. Brothers Christopher and Jonathan Nolan wrote the screenplay, which has its origins in a script Jonathan developed in 2007. Christopher Nolan produced the film with his wife Emma Thomas through their production company Syncopy and with Lynda Obst through Lynda Obst Productions. Caltech theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, whose work inspired the film, was an executive producer and acted as

scientific consultant. Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Legendary Pictures co-financed the film.

The movie showed the scene of the earth's end and human

beings' trying to surviving by moving to other planets. This is the first thing we need to think about. If we human beings not to save

our motherland now, the end of the earth won't be so far. But the most thought-provoking thing in this movie is time.

In this movie, the hero Dr. Cooper gone through the wormhole and landed in a high-mass planet which led to a chaos of time. Then he witnessed the growing and becoming old of his daughter. His promise

to his daughter that he would come back has disillusioned. The hero, who is going to save the human beings can not just save his own family.

I personally think the main line of this movie is family bond. In the atmosphere of earth not suitable for human habitation, the family bond became more thought-provoking. The parted of father and daughter means another way of farewell. Being in different time is

the farthest distance of human beings. But they choose to wait. Daughter chose to wait for his father and to believe in him. In fact, the same theme of time chaos was used in many novels and movies, but in this movie, the true feelings' revealing were the highlights of

this movie.

Besides the family bond, the real human nature in an impasse in this movie also sets people thinking. Dr. Mann, who was

dispatched to survey an unknown planet, could not suffer endless

loneliness, chose to leave the planet by deception and nearly killed everyone. This character was defined as a villain. But It is worth mentioning that he was put to the planet nearly a hundred years, no one responded him and died alone would be his only ending. I really can't imagine how could a real normal person stand this. Maybe dying for human beings' future is admirable, but what if he did not prepare for this tragic ending? How many people were made to sacrifice for "justice" or "Bright future"etc?

At the end of this movie, human beings were saved by formula provided by "four dimensional creatures". Dr. Cooper met them by fallen in a black hole and transmitted the formula to his daughter. This kind of "Mechanical drop God"1 make out a good case of many doubts in this movie, but I don't think it's a brilliant way to end this story. The movie described "four dimensional creatures" as human beings in the future and the universe, found the way to leap the time and finally got full understand of the whole universe. So in fact, who saved human beings were human beings themselves.

*The Black Hole In This Movie

1 The term has evolved to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.

There are many mysteries about the universe and the future, the Albert Einstein's theories left more possibility of time. This movie really called back my curiosity and the desire of exploring more about the universe.
