1912 Interstellar
The gray dust fell slowly and slowly like a continuous drizzle, accumulating little by little on the bookshelf. Books, models and shelves all accumulated a thick layer of dust. The bright sunlight penetrated, letting the Those flying dust showed grace and beauty like snowflakes, but as the camera went by, the desolate and decadent, gloomy and lonely world slowly unfolded in the audience's field of vision..
“At that time, my father was a farmer, just like everyone else at that time." A gray-haired old woman said in an interview, "Of course, he was not a farmer from the beginning..”
Cooper was a pilot. He encountered an accident during the flight and the aircraft lost control. However, he tried to save the situation. As a result, the commander took over the control of the aircraft through the computer; then, the aircraft crashed. He lost his title and could no longer fly. Then he became a farmer.
“dad？”
That experience became Cooper's nightmare, which he couldn't get rid of. He always struggled in the dead of night, but he didn't want to wake up his little daughter again..
After waking up from sweating profusely, Cooper raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter, then closed his eyes tightly to hide his vulnerability, "Sorry, Murphy, go back to sleep, baby..”
“I think you are a ghost." Murphy stood at the door of his father's room, stubbornly refusing to leave..
“No." Cooper turned around and faced the ceiling, leaving only one side face facing his daughter. Then he raised his hand on his forehead to hide his eyes and expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "In the world Ghosts don't exist, baby.”
Murphy folded his hands on his chest like a little adult, "Grandpa said you can find ghosts."！”
Cooper turned his head, the light in his eyes looming in the darkness, and then the corners of his mouth raised, "Maybe that's because grandpa is about to become a ghost." He joked, smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned his head again. He came back and said in a perfunctory tone, "Go to bed quickly.".”
But Murphy didn't know how to give up, "Did you dream about that crash again?"？”
“……”Cooper didn't answer. He was silent for a long time and said slowly, "Move your little butt to the bed quickly, Murphy." There was a lot of tiredness in his voice, and even the raised corners of his mouth could not make him smile. Be light again.
This time, Murphy finally felt the weight of her father, and she turned and left.
But Cooper could no longer fall asleep. He sat up again and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while. In the hazy dawn, his eyes were vaguely wandering. The focus and focus seemed to be collapsing, but it only lasted for a moment. He lowered his eyes, covering all his emotions, then stood up, came to the window, stared at the endless green cornfield outside, and his deep eyes fell into his own emotions again..
“The wheat is all dead." The narration of the interview sounded again, telling the background of the whole story, "The blight came, and we had to burn it all. But we still have corn, large tracts of corn. But the most common thing is sandstorms..”
“I can’t describe it, even if it keeps blowing, the wind and sand won’t stop for a moment.” Like a documentary, another elderly woman said in an interview.
Then another older woman said, “We sometimes hold a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose so as not to inhale too much dust..”
“When setting the table, the plates must be placed upside down, and all the cups, plates, and dishes must be placed upside down." This time it was an older man..
The beginning of the movie presents the current situation of the entire world in a documentary style, with the accumulated dust, flying sand, and overwhelming sandstorms... Even the sunlight reveals a gray and depressing feeling, dry and sultry, Depressed and chaotic, everything is full of disturbing gloom, so lifeless that people can't help but want to vent something, even if it's just a scream or two..
This kind of opening is obviously not what the audience was expecting - the opening of "Inception" is much more interesting. Could it be that the movie is going to take the route of "Batman Begins"? But even in "Beginners", the quality of the picture at the beginning seems to be better. However, Christopher Nolan's signature is that he is always good at presenting the texture of the story through his own lens language, which also makes the audience We have more patience and are willing to calm down and wait and see..
Not to mention Renly's performance.
Many viewers at the scene did not realize who the man with the beard, messy hair, and vicissitudes of life was until dawn. The sunlight penetrated the windows and fell into the hall of the house. The middle-aged man appeared again. When I saw him, I realized: that was actually Renly！
After his consciousness came to his senses, a second wave of surprise struck again: Renly actually played the role of a father, and he was also the father of two children.！
Is this...is this really good?？
Many of the reporters sitting in the screening room had an ominous premonition: they could finally understand the comments from the previous internal previews - not good reviews or bad reviews, but a kind of neither good nor bad. The quality of the movie itself seems to have withstood the test, but the market's feedback is in a state of uncertainty. Just from the beginning of the movie, these industry insiders can feel the charm..
During family breakfast, the daughter complained that her models and books had fallen off the bookshelf again, and the son complained about his sister's prank about "ghosts" - this is the second time ghosts are mentioned in less than three minutes of the movie..
As a pilot, Cooper believed in science and naturally did not believe in these ghost stories. He did not want to get too involved in the topic, but under the warning in his father-in-law's eyes, he patiently explained to his daughter the so-called "Scientific verification" If Murphy really believes in the existence of ghosts, then she should start collecting data to prove her claims.
In just two scenes, Cooper's "absent-mindedness" can be vaguely felt. His bond with his family is undoubtedly deep, but he seems to be escaping from those emotions, never being able to fully invest in them. His lines and performances reveal this Every detail, every shot and every action gradually stabilizes the tone of the entire story..
Renly is indeed Renly！
Even in commercial movies, Renly can still show strong emotional power with every gesture, and then guide the audience into the emotions of the story. This ability and strength are second to none in the entire Hollywood; and when Renly Meeting Christopher Nolan, Renly was able to easily make up for Nolan's shortcomings on the emotional level and complete the missing parts of the character. At least from the beginning, the effect of Renly's cooperation with Nolan can be seen. Coming.
“"Interstellar" is obviously not the summer science fiction movie that the audience is looking forward to. It is more like a small-budget science fiction independent work such as "Moon", "Beast" or "The End of the World", which uses emotion as the keynote and presents the human beings in the end of the world. self-tangle, showing a touch of warmth by describing despair.
At the beginning of the film, the film spends a lot of time showing Cooper's life, and more about the relationship between Cooper and his two children, especially his daughter Murphy..
He patiently explained the reason why Murphy named his daughter after "Murphy's Law"; he took Tom and Murphy to chase the Indian Air Force's drone, trying to decipher the reasons for mitigating sandstorms; he told Murphy how to use He used Morse code to communicate; he argued with school teachers and leaders so that his son could enter college in the future instead of becoming a farmer; he accidentally mentioned that his wife died of malignant tumors……
and so on.
This is really a very strange look and feel.
If this was an independent art film, the audience would be more than happy to sit down and take a closer look. It wouldn't be the first time they've seen Renly's art, right?？
But the problem now is that the audience was expecting a popcorn commercial blockbuster or a brain-burning science fiction blockbuster, but instead they saw trivial family affairs. The anxiety caused by this gap between expectations and expectations, But it is wearing away the patience of the audience bit by bit.——
At least most of the audience is.
The only interesting part is that the movie directly "modifies" history. The complaints about the Apollo project are completely a hypothesis, and the moon landing plan is a show. This is purely a political activity to bring down the Soviet Union. When When the teacher in the movie told the "facts" seriously, the audience burst into laughter..
Can this be regarded as Nolan’s personal bad taste?？
But that's all.
The reason why the audience still maintains the last trace of patience at this time is because of their trust in Nolan and Renly, whether it is Nolan's "Batman" series and "Inception" or Renly's "Edge of Tomorrow" Like "Gravity", these works are not commercial blockbusters in the traditional sense, but they can still bring the audience an incomparable viewing experience in different ways, which makes everyone willing to be patient and continue watching..
Then, the movie finally takes its first turn.
Cooper and Murphy witnessed the chaos on the farm together, and the compass and compass all failed; and then they witnessed the chaos in the room - books and models were scattered irregularly, which was obviously not a deliberate prank by Murphy..
“I counted the spaces on the bookshelf. What if the ghost wanted to communicate with us? I'm trying Morse code now." Murphy's answer still failed to attract Cooper's attention. He tried to use a more scientific method to find out the reasons behind this series of abnormal phenomena..
An unprecedented huge sandstorm struck, and the whole world was plunged into darkness, with visibility even reduced to within five yards..
The audience in the screening hall of the Chinese Theater finally cheered up: the first turning point they had been waiting for had arrived！
Then, Cooper and Murphy saw that the room was like a sandstorm wonderland, with countless lights and shadows intertwined together to form a maze.！
