Interstellar
- We love people who have died. Where's the social utility in that?- None.- Maybe it means something more - something we can't yet understand. Maybe it's some evidence, some artefact of a higher dimension that we can't consciously perceive. I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.
Interstellar, a spiraling time-ticking space odyssey that chronicles a father’s sacrifice and tireless pursuit to not only save humanity, but to survive his mission so he can reunite with his daughter before time and death will separate them inevitably. As time goes on, I’m increasingly convinced more and more that it’s quite clearly Nolan's masterpiece. Truly mind-blowing, completely starstruck. It's easily his most emotional, human, and sincere film. Most intellectually engaging, ambitious, and probably his most epic, if not a close second. Love, sacrifice, parenthood, the space-time gap, the concept of relativity, gravity, the end of the world, and most importantly, humanity. It’s a monumental piece of cinema, and as time goes by and I revisit it, its flaws melt away more and more, climbing higher on my favorites list. It’s a titanic masterpiece of cinematic storytelling. Nolan casts off a huge undertaking to frame the voyage of humanity into the stars as memorable and subtly philosophical. It’s the definition of a sci-fi spectacle. The transcending and beautifully composed score from Hans Zimmer sends chills straight down my spine, the stunning cinematography and visuals that capture the vast and unknown parts of our solar system and beyond, the phenomenal acting performances filled with raw emotion and dedication; there are just so many elements that I absolutely adore about this film. Hans Zimmer's score and Hoyte van Hoytema’s cinematography should be evidence that Heaven does exist. Orgasm to eyes & ears.
