I think the movie Interstellar is mostly based on emotions and logic. It’s director Christopher Nolan said that The further out into the infinite we went and the more we isolated these characters who have to go across the universe, the more the focus naturally becomes on their humanity, on that intimate bond they have, what makes us human, all those issues{1}.

When creating a story, many great minds will use a pattern to enthrall readers and shape them into a hero. Established by Joseph Campbell, The Hero 's Journey is the iconic template many utilize to plan their imaginative tale. The Hero’s Journey is the cycle in which the protagonist ventures into an unknown world where he or she will go through a series of adventures and learn moral lessons. Heroes in ancient myths such as Homer 's epic poem, The Odyssey follows this formula since the protagonist, Odysseus, faces hardships throughout different regions that ultimately change his once arrogant character. Throughout Homer 's monomyth, Odysseus undergoes challenges that teach him the importance of humility.
What makes the film even more interesting in terms of the plot is that there is a plot twist, where the child psychologist is actually dead. A plot also plays a huge role in the development of the narrative’s characters which causes them to take certain actions affecting the story and the characters themselves (King, 2011). “Story is about originality, not duplication” (McKee, 1997). A problem often presented for creating a new plot is if it is original or

This essay will look at the film techniques of narration, setting and special effects including how the director applies them into Amélie, and how these influence the film, creating it into a modern fairy tale. The director uses the technique of narration to help create the film Amélie into a modern fairy tale. At the very beginning of movie the narrator presents each of the characters – describing their likes, dislikes and quirks. To a viewer this gives an insight that normally wouldn’t be possible, allowing to see who they are but it also sets the mood and setting for the remainder of the story. In conjunction with that, it demonstrates a surreal element to the film (with surrealism also being a typical quality that fairy tales have) because there is no narrator in real life which makes it feel more like a fairy tale.
Good and Evil has always been used in films, novels and stories. It creates more action within the story. This theme has been used by Shakespeare and by ancient story telling of Kings and Dragons The director of this film, Robert Redford has used the writers work and developed a film from the script of the book. He depicted the contrast between good and evil through human activities and his cast members’s qualities. The main area where a viewer can pick up the good against evil theme is in the two Maclean brothers.
This said blindness is presented on many different levels, from the pure ignorance of Zorbach of the plot development to the ride the reader is taken on with a sense of foreboding but no real clues of what will happen.

The interchanging of third person and first person narration, however, is what allows all the plot devices to flow together in the making of the “perpetuum
As I watched the movie, I was surprised at how many sociolinguistic observations I had. I began to understand the movie and its fictional world in a new light. Even though I had noticed many additional topics, the way of addressing and greeting others, the various speech communities and vernaculars, and the differences in accents confirmed to me that language is at the core of how a society is established. I also realized that to create a realistic movie requires in-depth and expansive research in every
Within multimodal texts authors use a variety of language and visual features in order to create meaning and convey a sophisticated story.
