Interstellar: review, release date, actors

Thanks to the genius talent and irrepressible energy of Stanley Kubrick, the best film in the history of cinematography about space was removed in the late 60's. This is an axiom. This fact and did not think to challenge the creator of a series of amazing blockbusters Christopher Nolan. However, his new creation - Interstellar - the film is the most grandiose in its scale. He is a very serious contender for an enviable place in the golden collection of modern adventure films.

Movie preamble

Director Christopher Nolan is a professional in the genre of fantasy, so for the entire length of the film (2 hours and 45 minutes) the viewer is immersed in a special atmosphere of pathos talk about quantum mechanics, gravity and the theory of relativity. Periodically, in the never-ending flow of scientific terminology, the rather lofty arguments of the main characters about the fate of mankind, about love and family values, are wedged in. Purely formally, Interstellar (critical testimonies confirm this) shakily balances between a model of Soviet scientific film fantasy such as the "Moon Rainbow" and the cult "Space Odyssey" of the distinguished Stanley Kubrick. The idea of director Nolan to magnify the working days of astronauts is largely due to the musical accompaniment of Hans Zimmer, which fits perfectly into every episode of the film Interstellar, the music successfully creates an imaginary effect of globalization.

The main idea of the film "Interstellar"

The plot of the picture is difficult to call innovative. The planet Earth is once again experiencing a global environmental catastrophe. Mankind (Americans are not an exception) is compelled to win scarce crops from nature, while two of the three main types of bread (grains and rice) have sunk into oblivion, only corn remains, and even then it is on the verge of extinction. On the earth's surface, dust storms sweep around and sweep everything in its path. NASA is not, the US army is in oblivion, the economy is collapsed, people are concerned only with the problem of hunger. The protagonist of the ex-pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) alone brings up his daughter and son, glancing at distant stars from time to time. Soon, especially when Cooper discusses with children questions relating to space exploration and landing on the moon, strange and inexplicable phenomena begin to occur in the nursery .

The further, the more fascinating

This is how the main intrigue of Interstellar's picture begins, the plot becomes more dynamic. The main character manages to understand the secret signs submitted by an unknown force, in the message are the geographical coordinates of the point in the desert, where Cooper is sent along with his daughter. When they reach their destination, the characters fall into the secret NASA branch, in which Dr. Brand (Michael Caine) makes an intriguing offer to his father. It is Cooper who must go to the planet Saturn, near which there is a temporary hole, which by force to move the space shuttle into another galaxy. And astronauts must find in it a planet suitable for the life of the human race. The children of the protagonist are categorically against, since they understand that the father may not return, but Cooper accepts the offer and soon rushes into space in the company of the daughter of Brand Amelia (En Hathaway) and two astronauts, one of whom is traditionally a Negro.

Unthinkable Equilibrium

True admirers of a fantastic genre for sure remember the confused cinematic explanation of the appearance of Godzilla's greatest monster in the film "Godzilla against a Space Monster." There the appearance of the monster is explained by the passage of its cells through the Black Hole with absorption during the path of the crystal structures. This funny absurd cute fit exactly in the Japanese fantastic cinematic. But the picture "Interstellar" (reviews unanimous in opinion) in all seriousness, with the support of an eminent scientific consultant, gives an incredible balance. Considered by the robot from the edges of the black hole, the quantum information is transmitted by the character with the help of the eternal Morse code to the clock arrow that remained on the Earth, and at this time the hero himself hung in the fifth dimension, surrounded by bookshelves and his daughter's rooms. And this information is the key, it will help the planet avoid a catastrophe. And fans of Nolan saw this as a grandiose plan of the creator, and the poor Japanese only have to nervously smoke on the sidelines, revising Interstellar - the film is truly fantastic.

Cosmic dust

Christopher Nolan is not the only author who, with knowledge, developed the subject of quantum mechanics, before him in his works this was practiced by Didier van Koveler and Michelle Uelbek. The difference is that the picture "Interstellar" (a review of every second film critic emphasizes this fact) is based on provocative works of the theoretical physicist Kip Thorne. Individual dialogues are oversaturated with physical terms, which is similar to the notorious cosmic dust in the gullible eyes of the viewer. There is no need to be a physicist to understand that the phrase that if quantum mechanics becomes a contradiction of the theory of relativity, then everything will become bad for everyone - it is extremely absurd. These physical disciplines are initially in perennial dispute. Here is a physical film in the film "Interstellar", Stanislav Zelvensky's review emphasizes this.

Exaggerating emotions strive for hyperbole

If you separate the plot from the theses and try to summarize it on paper, then one sheet from the student's notebook will suffice. The mastery of the creator of the picture "Interstellar" (review of the film expert Vyacheslav Surikov in detail reflects all the director's techniques) is in the details, if you describe them, you would not have enough and whatman. Virtuoso Nolan continues to work on the system of entertaining creative schizophrenia, which he successfully tested in the film "Beginning" (2010). The maestro seems to lead the audience on surrealistic scenery of truly epic proportions, not forgetting to stop from time to time in the real classrooms of the university, the cozy rooms of the houses of the inhabitants of the Midwest. And the majestic music of Hans Zimmer with the light hand of the creator is accompanied by the familiar chalk of chalking about the board. A worldly drama - an attempt to scientifically explain what is happening, diluted by quotations of great physicists and himself Isaac Newton, terms like "singularity" and complex schemes. The curvature of interstellar space intersects with the age-old problem of the relationship between fathers and children, and the fear of the complete destruction of humanity - with detachment, depicted on the graph of quantum reality. In a word, the director exaggerates emotions in moments, and in some episodes bravely plays hyperbole, but does not cross the outlined framework of the blockbuster philosophy. The resourcefulness, dexterity and originality with which Christopher Nolan collects a mosaic of his own work in the best episodes of Interstellar undoubtedly deserves the highest praise.

Actors and roles

A successful cast can bravely boast a film "Interstellar", the actors of which are perfectly absorbed in the images of their characters. Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey - star of the successful TV series "The Real Detective" and the movie "The Dallas Club of Buyers" created a damn charismatic character astronaut. In contrast to him, the image of Annie Hathaway, whose heroine does not leave the laboratory earlier. The psychological reliability of the film was provided by actors Jessica Chestane, David Gacy, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon. And no one pays attention to the fact that in the hands of the characters there is a time-tested standard: to the main hero-man in the companion is distributed beauty, etc. Heroes "grow", develop, and watch it more than interesting throughout the movie Interstellar. The actors tried their best.

On the verge of a capacious metaphor

It is not by accident that the domestic distributors of the translation of the name "Interstellar" preferred the mysterious original "Interstellar". The release date (06. 11. 2014) was chosen without special intent. On the same day it became quite clear that even the "Gravitation" of director Cuaron, the hit of last year, remains far behind, and the child K. Nolan stood on the same level with the creation of Kubrick and "Solaris" Tarkovsky. With the latter they are united by the "installation of the spectator's brain", and much in the story narrative balances on the brink of metaphysics. But for technical performance and entertainment at the film there are quite a few rivals.

Epilogue

The achievement of the creators of the picture "Interstellar" (a review of Velimir Razuvaev, special correspondent of the "Nezavisimaya Gazeta", emphasizes just the lucky moments) is to preserve a fantastic and simultaneously adventurous content. The humanity of the main characters, the motivation and logic of their actions are not corroded by the traditional "interstellar glamor". In the tape there are moments of suspense, a riddle-intrigue and a culmination that does not disappoint.
