Film Review of Interstellar

Introduction

Having watched the film interstellar, I found myself as excited as the raging wave that couldn’t restore calm for a long time with tears running down my face. Besides the marvelous analysis it would be in the scientific perspective, just through a skin-deep way in emotion, audience would be shocked tremendously by both the visual and aural effect. Let your mind goes with the movie and the time, and you will see the doomed day covered by the dust which is like a pall, the thick smoke rises from numerous fields of crops, the utterly unknown tiny planet in the vast universe, and the strange watch in Murphy’s study in the five-dimensional space, which all surprise you and appeal to you. From the properties of movies

Firstly, the film is as an art. In 1910, the Italy director Ricciotto Canudo published The Birth of the Sixth Art in which he claimed that movie is the seventh art after architecture, music, painting, sculpture, poetry, and dance. The interstellar is not only a science fiction movie which explores the humanity, but also an incredible popular science movie which teaches us about the space. The film converted the art form which few people can

appreciate into a more popular one by reaching the area of cutting-edge science and showing it understandably to the average audience.

The second, the film is as a science. With the help of Saone, one of the leaders of modern astrophysics research and also the film producer, the movie is the first in history to show the “wormhole”theory which is based on Einstein's relativity equations on the screen of Hollywood. Besides, Nolan, the director of the movie, adhered to location shooting with the use of the 70mm IMAX film to ensure the best movie-going experience. And indeed, when audience are sitting in the movable seats in the cinema, they have an illusion that they are in that interstellar spaceship at least for a moment.

Thirdly, the film is as a business. The film is such a success that the score in Douban is 9.1 and the box office earning has flied to 550 million dollars within four weeks since it displayed. In comparison of the input cost which is 165 million dollars, it’s obvious that the film has won a lot of profits.

From the visual and aural effect

Analyzing a film requires analyzing its shot, light, color, design, sound, and etc. I just want to begin with the shot in this film.

There is a shot in which Cooper asked his son to drive his car to chase after the Indian unmanned aerial vehicle in the field of corn. It combined a long shot which shows the tiny car marching through in the broad field and creating a path and a close shot in which shows the situation inside the car that his daughter Murphy located the UAV, his son drove the car and he directed them and operated the UAV. The combination successfully created a splendid scene which is exciting enough to appeal to the audience.

The wonderful application of light and color also makes the film an outstanding one. When the astronauts in the spaceship flying to the Saturn, they saw that the earth was blue and delicate with the soft light bathing the planet. This pretty good application of light and color builds up an atmosphere that the earth is so weak and poor and needed great care and mercy, and it can attract people a lot.

The sound is also brilliant. As we all know, sound plays a great role in rendering atmosphere. In the thrilling and exciting scenes such as they fly across the wormhole and the black hole, and Brand was nearly gulped by the huge wave, magnificent music like the coward and mountains really rendered the exciting atmosphere. In the meanwhile, in the emotional scenes
