Summary Of The Movie 'Ordinary'

1530 Words7 Pages

INTERSTELLAR: What I love about this movie is the fact that Nolan brothers were able to take 2 ordinary concepts; one revolving around Einstein 's relativity and the other immersed in human emotions; and then make it into something truly Extra-Ordinary. Though the plot is staged in some outer space, hyper dimensional setting, when you think about it, you 'll see that it 's not about science. It 's about connection. That 's the soul of this movie. That 's the essence. And that 's what makes it interesting. And for those who want a mind-bending interpretation of the movie (by Aussify on reddit), please read on: This is my interpretation with my own ideas of Interstellar. If you find anything factually errant in this, I invite you to correct me, but please be constructive about it. Before I get started on a long mindfuck of a journey that Interstellar sent me on, let me just say that many people think this is not …show more content…

I suppose I could go further with this. This undoubtedly brings up the notion between corporeality and incorporeality, matter and spirit, etc., because if fifth dimensional beings do not have a third dimensional body, how can they exist? Cooper and Brand set up and represent the tension between these two polar opposites. Brand is oriented toward love and leaps of faith, as she demonstrated on Miller 's planet and her lack of logical thought, and on the ship while arguing about traveling to Edmund 's planet. Cooper is rigidly rational, as is demonstrated in the aforementioned argument, and basically all throughout the movie. If the fifth dimensional beings really did choose what happened to whom, then of course it makes sense that Brand, being the maternal, almost spiritual individual that she is, would go on to colonize and nurse a planet into activity with life. It also makes sense that these fifth dimensional beings would send Cooper into a situation in which he could only face what he loved most, without rationality

  • Time In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five

    641 Words  | 3 Pages

    Much like money, time is a human construct. Human beings created the concept of time to organize the events of their lives in a continuous, chronological order. Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Slaughterhouse Five, depicts a different interpretation of time and the organization of events in Billy Pilgrim’s life. Billy Pilgrim’s life is broken up into brief events, and Vonnegut writes the events out of chronological sequence, which adds a unique flair to an already distinctive work of literature. In addition, Vonnegut includes the Trafalmadore alien’s perception of time to further solidify the theme in his work.

  • Ridley Scott Alien

    756 Words  | 4 Pages

    Alien is a remarkable horror film that was way ahead of its generation with little to nothing to complain about. The scenery was remarkable, especially inside the space craft and egg chamber; it never failed to add to the mood of the environment. The violence, from the chestburster scene, to the crew being killed was natural and paced, not overdone and in your face. Though there were small parts that could use touch ups, like all films, there was one scene that seemed unnecessary, that being on the escape pod where Ripley was stripping down in preparation for cryonic sleep. Being the half-naked vulnerable woman with a monster trying to eat you seemed to horror cliché and that it was merely trying to broaden their appeal to the male audience, but no film is perfect and it still sits very high on my favorite movie list as well as other film critics.

    One of the factors that define Inception are the conflicts that appear in the film. A major conflict is the battle between Cobb and society. In Inception, faceless corporations are trying to kill Cobb, while the U.S. government is trying to imprison him because of a crime that he didn’t commit. These are examples of the “person against society” conflict, which can be considered as a characteristic of science-fiction. On the other hand, there is another significant conflict; the struggle between Cobb and himself, because of the belief that Mal’s suicide was his fault.

    Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl is a movie that reflects the value of friendship during tough social situations. The movie portrays several inferences and levels of the made up friendship between the main characters Greg and “the dying girl” Rachel during her struggle with cancer and the friendship between the two senior students in the same high school Greg and Earl.

  • Reflection On The Movie Interstellar

    886 Words  | 4 Pages

    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}. I think what’s important for us to be humans is care for others more than ourselves .It helps in us in taking risks we usually fear to take to help others. The 2014-movie Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan had a lot of people’s effort who did research in order to make the movie more realistic to real life experience.
