Research Paper On Interstellar

     The following paper will analyze the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick” and “The Centinel” by Arthur C. Clarke. Although there are many themes present between the story and the film, the following are the most dominant. I will be discussing Scientific themes, Religious and Moral Themes, and Clarke’s development of the short story into a full-length film.

The movie “Interstellar” takes place in a vast, desert of a land which is barely recognizable as the planet, Earth. America suffers severely from famine, dust storms, and lack of advanced technology. Due to a previous accident, as well as with the worldwide food shortage, Cooper, a former NASA pilot, now works as a farmer to produce the only food left in the world.

We all dream of an ulterior world, a world in which we picture a perfect life with no struggles, problems, or pandemics. Both Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan, and Station Eleven by Emily Mandel, depict their characters as struggling not only with survival, but their sense of their own identity and security. Within Station Eleven, the saying, “survival is insufficient” is a recurring theme of Interstellar as well. While there are some differences in the characters and themes within Interstellar and Station Eleven, the similarities are the connections to their identity in which they adapt to the force of change within their world. As the characters struggle with adapting, they cling to certain things that allow them to remain sane. As a result, the characters feel like they have a purpose again due to their struggle for survival.

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 set off in different months from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The original purpose was to get close up views on Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings and the bigger of 2 moons. The spacecrafts were built to last 5 years, but as this mission went on they sent back data of objects in space and have reached our outermost planets of the solar system. The mission was on to a whole different level. For this all to happen in the first place there had to be extreme calculations of when the planets orbited and met each other so the voyager would see it. This asstonishing occurrence happens about 1 out of 175 years.

Stardust is a robotic space probe that was launched by NASA on Feb 7, 1999. It was launched on delta ll lite at Cape Canaveral Air Station Weighing 300-kilograms. This spacecraft was designed and built by Martin Lockheed for the NASA division for mission operations. It's designed to collect samples from comets and/or asteroids. The head investigator of this mission was Dr. Donald Brownlee from the University of Washington. The Stardust spacecraft mission, created by NASA was for the collection of sample materials from Comet Wild 2 and return them to earth for analysis. The analysis of the comet dust will provide important information into the nature and evolution of our solar system, and maybe life of another origin. On February 7, 1999 Stardust

John Powell Hubble was Edwin Hubble’s father. Edwin and his father contrasted in views of the future. John wanted Edwin to get a degree in law, and that is why Edwin studied law in college. However, John passed away in 1912, and it was because of this that Edwin returned to America (he had been at Queen’s College in England studying law) to start a career in astronomy. His father did not want Edwin to pursue astronomy because he “wouldn’t have let him go through school if he was going to be a thing so outlandish” (Christianson 40). Nevertheless, Edwin still studied astronomy; it was just after his father

A narrative film is a fictional movie that tells a story with characters, places, and events. Stories in narrative films may be wholly imaginary or based on true occurrences, and they may be realistic, unrealistic, or both. Interstellar perfectly fits this description due to its futuristic and sci-fi nature. A major element in a narrative film are characters or any beings who play functional roles within the plot. Characters may be flat or round; minor or major; protagonists or antagonists. The protagonist in this movie is the role of Cooper played by Matthew McConaughey. Cooper is a round character or a complex character possessing numerous, subtle, repressed, or contradictory traits. Round characters are also known to develop over the course of a story. Cooper is three dimensional and quite unpredictable. One moment he is the loving father devoted to his children and in the next he is the forgotten astronaut still waiting for his moment to

2001: A Space Odyssey is just that: a long wandering voyage of the body and mind. Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark collaborated brilliantly. In examining both works, the film and the novel, there are certainly differences, yet the theme and overall idea coincide thoroughly. That this was made in the 1960's augments both accomplishments. The visuals, seen in 2004, are still captivating. What they must've seemed like in 1968! I flout those who received this movie poorly in those days. Would I have received it as well without having a preconceived idea of its greatness? I can only hope I would have known what I was watching.

Rick never fit in at grade school; he would spend most of his time daydreaming about going to space. As he doodled artwork of space ships, his imagination would wonder and often featured him as a future explorer leading humans into the next great frontier. English and the study of history bored him, but whenever he went to a science class he felt as if he were truly alive. Learning about the vast distances between Earth and the stars never discouraged his dream of traveling through space. He spent much of his time outside of school learning about space and space travel and how it would require great amounts of energy to explore the planets. He discovered he had an amazing aptitude for assimilating all information related to space, the sun, energy, propulsion and planetary characteristics. Fusion power was always of interest to him, particularly as a potential source of unimaginable amounts of clean energy. He focused on learning about the proton-proton chain occurring in the sun and how fusing two hydrogen atoms could produce massive amounts of energy and maybe one day be used to power space ships. Rick learned quickly about the politics of going to space, about how money was always a factor that limited scientists endeavors. His ambition and drive dwindled as he progressed through his schooling. He graduated high-school after NASA lost most of their funding. He saw the drive to go to space in the

“Interstellar” (Obst,Thomas & Nolan, 2014) a great science fiction story with so various elements. It takes us traveling through wormholes, into planets in other galaxies, and black holes. The characters keep colliding into the effects of relativity, which is thoroughly explained in numerous scenarios. It’s also a story about love and family, but there is a villain, whose actions result in shocking consequences for the other characters. There is a great deal of emotion expressed by the character, which make a great impacted on how the movie is viewed. The movie will take place sometime in the future where the earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable for the reason that of a global crop plague and a second dust bowl occurring. The science fiction movie “Interstellar” (Obst,Thomas & Nolan, 2014) does an excellent job portraying advancements in technology, astrophysics and real-life issues that could eventually happen, such as, food scarcity and catastrophic natural disasters.
