The gray dust fell slowly like a drizzle, piling up on the bookshelves little by little, the books, models and shelves all accumulated a thick layer of dust, and the bright sunlight penetrated down, making the flying dust show the grace and beauty of snowflakes, but with the passage of the camera, the barren and decadent, gloomy and lonely world slowly spread out in the audience's field of vision.

"At that time, my father was a farmer, like everyone else at that time. A gray-haired old woman said in an interview, "Of course, he wasn't a farmer from the beginning. ”

Cooper used to be a pilot. After an accident during the flight, the aircraft lost control, but he insisted on trying to save the situation, and as a result, the commander took over control of the aircraft through the computer, and then the aircraft crashed, and he lost his title, and could no longer continue flying. Then, he became a farmer.

"Daddy?"

That experience became Cooper's nightmare, haunting him in the dead of night, not wanting to wake up his little daughter again.

Sweating profusely, Cooper raised his eyes to look at his daughter, then closed them tightly, hiding his vulnerability, "Sorry, Murphy, go back to sleep, baby." ”

"I think you're a ghost. Murphy stood at the door of his father's room, stubbornly refusing to leave.

"Nope. Cooper turned around and faced the ceiling with his back to the ceiling, leaving only one side face to his daughter, then raised his hand to his forehead to hide his eyes and expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "There are no ghosts in the world, baby. ”

Murphy clasped his hands on his chest like a little adult, "Grandpa said you can find ghosts!"

Cooper turned his head, his eyes shining in the darkness, and then the corners of his mouth went up, "Maybe it's because grandpa is about to become a ghost." He teased playfully, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head back, and said a little perfunctorily, "Go to bed." ”

But Murphy didn't know to give up, "Did you dream of that crash again?"

"......," Cooper didn't answer, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "Move your little ass to the bed, Murphy." There was a thick tiredness in his voice, and even the corners of his mouth could not make the smile light again.

This time, Murphy finally felt the weight of her father, and she turned away.

Cooper could no longer fall asleep, sat up again, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, his eyes faintly wandered in the haze of dawn, and the focus and focus seemed to be collapsing, but it only lasted for a moment, and he lowered his eyes, hiding all his emotions, and then stood up, came to the window, stared at the endless green cornfield outside, and his deep eyes fell into his emotions again.

"The wheat is dead. The narrator of the interview sounded again, telling the background of the whole story, "The blight is coming, and we have to burn them all." But we still have corn, big patches of corn. But the most common is sandstorms. ”

"I can't describe it, it's just that it's always blowing, and the wind and sand won't stop for a moment. As if it were a documentary, another elderly woman said in an interview.

Then there was an older woman, "We sometimes carried a cloth to cover our nose and mouth so that we wouldn't inhale too much dust. ”

"When you set up the table, the plates have to be put upside down, and the cups, plates, and dishes, all of them, have to be put upside down. "This time it's an old man.

The opening of the film presents the current state of the world in a documentary way, with the piles of dust, the flying sand, and the overwhelming sandstorms...... Even the sunlight revealed a gray oppression, dry and sultry, oppressive and chaotic, all so unsettlingly gloomy that one couldn't help but want to vent something, even if it was just a few screams.

This kind of opening is obviously not the beginning of the picture "Inception" that the audience is looking forward to, which is much more interesting, could it be said that the movie is going to take the route of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow"? But even if it is "The Mystery of the Shadow", the picture texture of the opening seems to be better. However, Christopher Nolan's signature is that he is always good at presenting the texture of the story through his lens language, which also makes the audience more patient and willing to calm down and wait for a while.

Not to mention Lan Li's performance.

Many viewers at the scene did not react, who was the man with a beard, messy hair, and vicissitudes of decadence, until dawn, when the sunlight penetrated the window and fell in the hall of the room, when the middle-aged man appeared again, he realized at this time: It was actually Lan Li!

After the consciousness reacted, the second wave of accidents struck again: Lan Li actually played the role of a father, and he was also the father of two children!

This...... Is that really good?

The reporters sitting in the screening room, many of them have a faint sense of foreboding: they can now finally understand that the comments at the previous internal preview screening are not good or bad, but a kind of vague comments that are not up or down, the quality of the film itself seems to have withstood the test, but the feedback of the market is in a state of inability to judge, just from the beginning of the movie, these industry insiders can feel the charm.

At family breakfast, the daughter complains that her models and books have fallen off the shelves again, and the son complains about his sister's claim that the "ghost" prank is the second time that the ghost has been mentioned in less than three minutes of the film.

As a pilot, Cooper is a person who believes in science, so naturally he doesn't believe in these ghost theories, and he doesn't want to get too involved in the topic, but under the warning of his father-in-law's eyes, he still patiently explains to his daughter the so-called "scientific verification", if Murphy really believes in the existence of ghosts, then she should start collecting data to prove her claims.

In just two scenes, you can faintly feel Cooper's "absent-mindedness", his bond with his family is undoubtedly deep, but he seems to be escaping those emotions and has never been able to fully devote himself to them.

The blue gift is worthy of the blue ceremony!

Even in commercial films, Lan Li can still show strong emotional power between gestures, and then guide the audience into the mood of the story, this ability and strength are second to none in the entire Hollywood, and when Lan Li and Christopher Nolan meet, Lan Li can easily make up for Nolan's shortcomings at the emotional level, and make up for the missing part of the role, at least from the beginning, the cooperation between Lan Li and Nolan can be seen to be effective.

"Interstellar" is obviously not the summer sci-fi movie that the audience is looking forward to, but more like a low-budget sci-fi independent work such as "The Moon", "The Beast" or "Doomsday Danger", with emotion as the keynote, showing the self-entanglement of human beings in the apocalypse, and showing a trace of warmth by describing despair.

In the opening stage, the film spends a lot of space showing Cooper's life, and more about Cooper's relationship with a pair of children, especially his daughter Murphy.

He patiently explains why Murphy adopted his daughter's name as "Murphy's Law", he chases the Indian Air Force drone with Tom and Murphy in an attempt to debunk the cause of the sandstorm, he tells Murphy how to use Morse code to communicate, he argues with school teachers and leaders so that his son can go to college instead of becoming a farmer, and he inadvertently mentions that his wife died of a malignant tumor......

Etcetera.

It's a very strange look.

If this were an independent art film, the audience would be more than happy to take a closer look, and it wasn't the first time they'd seen Lan Li's artwork, was it?

But the problem now is that the audience is looking forward to a popcorn commercial blockbuster, or a brain-burning sci-fi blockbuster, but they see the trivial parents' shortcomings, and the anxiety caused by this gap between expectations and expectations is wearing down the audience's patience little by little

At least for the majority of the audience.

The only interesting part of it is that the movie directly "revises" history, complaining that the Apollo program is completely a hypothesis, and the moon landing program is a show, which is completely aimed at bringing down a political activity of the Soviet Union. When the teacher in the movie told the "facts" seriously, the audience burst into chuckles.

Can this be considered Nolan's personal bad taste?

That's all, though.

Whether it is Nolan's "Batman" series and "Inception", or Lanli's "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Gravity", these works are not commercial blockbusters in the traditional sense, but they can still bring the audience an incomparable viewing experience through different ways, which makes everyone willing to keep their patience and continue to watch.

Then, the first twist of the film finally appeared.

Together, Cooper and Murphy witnessed the chaos on the farm, with the compass and compass all failing, and then witnessed the chaos in the room scattered erratically, with books and models scattered erratically, which was clearly not Murphy's deliberate prank.

"I've counted the slots on the shelves, what if the ghost wants to talk to us? I'm experimenting with Morse code right now. Murphy's answer still failed to attract Cooper's attention, and he tried to find out the reason behind this series of anomalies in a more scientific way.

An unprecedented sandstorm struck, and the entire world was plunged into darkness, with visibility even falling to within five yards.

The audience in the screening room of the Chinese/Chinese Theatre finally cheered up: the first turning point they had been waiting for had arrived!

Then, Cooper and Murphy saw that the room was like a sandstorm wonderland, with countless lights and shadows intertwined to create a labyrinth!
