Rating 9.4, the first foreign sci-fi film in the eyes of netizens? "Interstellar" is really "unworthy"

Text | Ling Hu Boguang

I previously wrote an article comparing "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Interstellar", and the conclusion was that "Interstellar" is a better sci-fi movie because of the endorsement of Hollywood's top film and television industry, and Nolan's ability. But The Wandering Earth 2 is a better hard sci-fi blockbuster.

It may be one of the great Chinese sci-fi movies (watch "Ball 3"), and it is a sci-fi epic that we have not seen in years.

Some netizens think that it is not to elevate "The Wandering Earth 2", in fact, "Interstellar" is a foreign science fiction blockbuster in the eyes of Chinese netizens, it seems that as long as foreign science fiction blockbusters are mentioned, it is only this one. This film is not bad, but it ranks in the history of science fiction.

If the measure is supergod-masterpiece-classic-"Interstellar" is probably the level of classic strength or god weakness, is this too hurtful "Interstellar"?

This is really not my personal ranking, many well-known foreign magazines have done science fiction film history lists. For example, the famous British "Empire" magazine has selected the top 20 best sci-fi movies in history, and this list is like this from bottom to bottom:

"Blade Runner", "Alien", "Star Wars 2", "The Matrix", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Star Wars", "Terminator 2", "Alien 2", "E.T. Alien", the 11th is "Monster", the 19th is "Metropolis", and the 20th is "Robocop". Nolan has a sci-fi film on the list, ranking 12th "Inception".

Later, among the 50 best sci-fi movies in the history of "Empire", "Interstellar" happened to be 21st, and the 22nd place was "Jurassic Park".

Empire is a pheasant magazine? Other well-known foreign magazines engage in science fiction film history rankings, and "Interstellar" is not ranked high, or even on the list.

For example, IGN has also selected 25 best science fiction films, the top ten are "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Blade Runner", "Star Wars 4", "Alien", "Star Wars 5", "Planet of the Apes", "Star Trek 2", "The Matrix", "Strange", "Jurassic Park".

"Inception" stuck in the final 25th place, and "Interstellar" did not make the list.

"Inception" in the British authoritative film magazine "TotalFilm" is on the list again, and even "Guardians of the Galaxy" is on the list, but "Interstellar" just doesn't, you can't be angry.

In 2019, the well-known magazine "Time out" selected the 100 best sci-fi films in film history, the selection range from the 1930s to 2018, and there is no "Interstellar", why is this?

"Interstellar" is not too big a breakthrough for Western science fiction films, just because its director is Nolan, and behind it is supported by the developed film and television industry in the United States, the film industry is unique and good-looking, the story is deep and moving, it can be said to be a very superior science fiction blockbuster.

In the eyes of netizens, the history of science fiction movies is not in the top 20? What is the level of "Interstellar"

Rating 9.4, the first foreign sci-fi film in the eyes of netizens? "Interstellar" is really "unworthy"

The biggest enemy of "Interstellar" is "2001: A Space Odyssey", the biggest feature of "Interstellar" and even most sci-fi works is "not sci-fi enough", it is true that "Interstellar" is an ultra-low and low-level version of "2001: A Space Odyssey". The biggest problem in this piece is to set up a disaster of human destruction, and then let the protagonist go to "interstellar".

The result is that apart from the dusty house at the beginning, it doesn't show how terrible the disaster is, it's a Western adventure story. Just turned the forest adventure into an interstellar adventure, replaced the lake fairy who saved the protagonist at a critical moment with a black hole, and finally a mechanical séance.

Probably someone did not understand what's wrong with this? Let's put it this way

The bad natural environment and such a bad agricultural pest control technology setting at the beginning of "Interstellar" are really not science fiction. You say that it is okay for Americans to degrade technology, land, and agriculture because of capital control, because of cannibalism. But there is more than one country on the planet, and Americans account for only 4% of the population, which leads to the world becoming that ball?

Even if we don't consider the importance of China's industry and agriculture, there are many other countries in the world, other surface environments, other crops and scientists. I really think that there is only itself in the world, I really think that I am the savior.

The setting in "Interstellar" that makes the protagonist group have to go to space is really just a setting. Just like the sci-fi concept black hole shown most forcefully in the movie, the time change caused by gravitational waves, and then to the five-dimensional space, the ultimate purpose is to serve the love of the male protagonist and daughter.

Therefore, the first half of it is the inseparable family affection between the male protagonist and his daughter, and finally the male protagonist enters the five-dimensional space to transmit the black hole supergravity formula to his daughter. At that time, the male protagonist and the robot Tas fell into a black hole and entered the multidimensional hypercube, and the lines of a dialogue between the two sides landed:

Actor: I'm going to think of a way to tell Murphy

TASS: How to communicate? Cooper.

Actor Lead: Love, Tarth, with Love. Love can be quantized, and that's the key to our communication.

If this kind of line appears in a Chinese movie, it will be immediately sprayed to death by the audience, and what can be explained together will be explained by hardcore physics, and what cannot be explained will be quantum mechanics? Contact "Avatar 2" again, now I feel that only hard love, involved in logging, this is the universal value?

However, I think that both touting and belittling Interstellar are misunderstood. This final plot is not that love can cross dimensions, and the male protagonist travels through time and space with a multidimensional space setting because of his emotions with his daughter, passing on the anti-gravity formula. That is, using multidimensional space to transfer formulas through time and space, not love itself.

The male protagonist went to save the world when he was a child, did not accompany his family but felt guilty in his heart, and the two had a cousin and an agreement with their daughter.

Then because of the black hole and the acceleration of gravitational time, the black companions on the space station were dozens of years older when they returned from the first planet. Cooper saw the information log from Earth on the spaceship, and the daughter and son have grown up, from children to teenagers, from teenagers to youths, from the beginning of missing their father to the son has given up, and the daughter still misses her father but does not understand it very well.

The male protagonist also misses his daughter and family immensely, and cries like a silly fork in the camera (Matthew's performance and movie are very emotional and moving).

Later, the male protagonist is sending the heroine to the last planet, and he and the robot have fallen into the black hole one after another. After falling into the black hole, he did not die and entered the five-dimensional space, and he saw the memory scenes of himself and his daughter in different time and space. The male protagonist finally understands how to save humans, so he transmits the anti-gravity technology of black holes through five-dimensional space, in the time and space where he and his daughter once were.

The daughter also received this "love", and at the beginning a large number of "ghost" plots were foreshadowed, that is, anti-gravity technology to save the world.

Do you understand, the previous setting is that the catastrophe human race is about to perish, and the male protagonist and daughter have various emotional entanglements; In the later setting, the human race was rescued in front of the daughter in front of the time and space in front of the multi-dimensional space transmission technology, and finally the male protagonist was rescued and saw the gray-haired daughter, and the character's emotions were sublimated.

Good-looking, touching, eye-catching? Why "Interstellar" is not well received by foreign media

Rating 9.4, the first foreign sci-fi film in the eyes of netizens? "Interstellar" is really "unworthy"

The biggest problem of this movie is the setting of science fiction and the philosophical expression of science fiction thought, the setting of the beginning of the catastrophe, and finally the setting of the human body entering the black hole. These two settings are not hard from a sci-fi point of view, and the director did not want to elaborate on it at all, which is to serve the feelings of father and daughter.

This leads to sci-fi not being hard enough, such as sci-fi background settings can not justify themselves can not be self-consistent in many places, such as the major decisions and actions in the film are not so in line with realistic logic, and the traces of serving touching emotions are obvious.

The second is the science fiction philosophy discussion above, you think that "Interstellar" is a professional, exhausting everything or even giving up everything to save the world.

Rating 9.4, the first foreign sci-fi film in the eyes of netizens? "Interstellar" is really "unworthy"

In fact, in "Interstellar", the seemingly ordinary study of the protagonist's house is the intersection of five-dimensional space, and it is the only hole that gravitational waves can penetrate, which can make the future of three-dimensional space affect the past. Therefore, the two protagonists also have the ability to communicate in time and space that is irreplaceable by outsiders, ensuring that all major events in the film are doomed long before they begin.

This setting that is biased towards "fantasy" rather than "science fiction" is the real main line of the whole film, and the father-daughter emotions behind it are the core.

The second is the philosophy of science fiction thought, this film borrows a skin bag set in a crisis background, and finally tells the scientific and technological background story of a space version of the "suicide squad" looking for a base, which does not reflect much on the impact on people and society.

Rating 9.4, the first foreign sci-fi film in the eyes of netizens? "Interstellar" is really "unworthy"

I suspect that this may be the reason, so this film does not rank high in the history of Western science fiction.

Because if you have watched "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Blade Runner", then "Terminator", "Alien", "The Matrix", and other high-ranking classic sci-fi films on the list, you will find that "Interstellar" is just that in all aspects. Some people may ask whether "Terminator" is also about the relationship between father and son, and the plot of the "Star Wars" series is not simpler.

The latter had too much influence on American science fiction blockbusters and the American film industry, and at the same time strongly established the science fiction genre of "space opera". More than 40 years after filming in 1977, the results of various derivative film and television dramas are still very good, although Chinese audiences do not like "Star Wars" very much, but its high status is understandable.

The time travel of the former "Terminator" grandfather paradox is more reasonable, while the sci-fi settings such as robot awakening, the end of the world, traveling through time and space and entanglement between robots and protagonists, and robots generating feelings are also more rigorous. Of course, there is also an important reason, which may be that this film was played earlier.

"Interstellar" has better actor performances, the black hole presented by this film industry, the wonders of the two planets, the docking of space stations, etc., the rhythm and story plot are very relaxed, plus the god-level soundtrack is very good-looking, and it is simple and popular story line. Family love, love, etc. aside from science fiction is also a simple and easy-to-understand touching story.

Therefore, I have always regarded "Interstellar" as an author-type director's top commercial sci-fi blockbuster.

Is "Interstellar" a good sci-fi movie? Of course, especially after Marvel led the rise of superhero movies after 2010, "Gravity", "The Martian", "Advent", "Annihilation", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Blade Runner 2049", and then "Dune", can be said to be the top of this decade's science fiction films.

However, in the entire history of science fiction, I think 10 points can only give more than 8 points, if you like black hole images, the emotions expressed in five-dimensional space and movies can reach more than 8.5 points, but now 9.4 points are significantly higher.

Now a platform science fiction history masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" 8.9, "Blade Runner" 8.6 points, then there is no doubt that "Interstellar" is high. To mention more, these two films have been precipitated over time in China, and more and more audiences have found that they cannot be ignored, and the score has slowly risen.

I vividly remember just a few years ago, "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Blade Runner" had just passed 8 points.

Finally, the score of "Interstellar" is so high, or most audiences love to watch this kind of genre blockbuster with both literary and commercial art (emotions are still strong), just like the Korean reality drama "Suwon", "The Furnace" and "The Defender", the domestic score is ridiculously high, but it cannot be on the list in the history of foreign media evaluation of Korean films.

"Interstellar" is presented visually in addition to concepts such as black holes and five-dimensional space. Others have broken through insufficient breakthroughs in science fiction philosophy, text art, etc., so the ranking of the Western film industry in the science fiction base camp has not been too high. Domestic netizens do over-tout "Interstellar", just like some Korean movies.
