Summary Of The Movie 'Interstellar'

The Economist’s article “The most beautiful theory” discusses Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It explains the origins of general relativity through Einstein’s initial thought experiments that eventually led to the realization that the university functions in four dimensions (“three spatial dimensions, one temporal one”) and that mass curved space-time, creating gravity. Over time, Einstein’s theory was verified by observations, such as those made by Arthur Eddington when he noticed the skew of light around the sun during an eclipse, which could only have been due to distorted space-time. His theory has also been expanded over the years as physicists try to combine general relativity with

Arthur C. Clarke, an award-winning author, in his novel, 2001: A Space Odyssey, suggests that human evolution would not have been possible without the help of extra-terrestrial beings and the use of tools. Clarke is able to support his suggestions by narrating the influence the extraterrestrials have on humans and by describing the importance of the tools humans utilize. His purpose was to share his take on the final frontier in order to help readers make their own opinions and conclusions on evolution and deep space. Clarke utilizes a direct and scientific tone with his audience in a way to help them follow along, so that they don’t lose focus on the important themes throughout the novel.

Interstellar is a film about a catastrophic event in which an excessive amount of dust builds up in the earth's biosphere. The extreme air pollution causes major health problems all over the world and environmental disasters. A new society arises without any medical technology or scientific knowledge. Several aspects of this newly reformed society classify it as dystopian such as : limited access to food, government controlled career options,and restricted knowledge. Social commentary is found in the recent phenomenon called global warming. The mass air pollution and destruction of food resources in Interstellar is directly related to the high amounts of Co2 which causes the Earth to heat. Social Director Christopher Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, use camera angles and lighting to magnify the chaos and social commentary in this dystopian society.

Interstellar, a movie about space, time and family, was made in 2014. The movie features Matthew McConaughey as he journeys through space to find a suitable replacement for their blight infested Earth. Throughout their space trek, they are able to overcome obstacles and solve problems through scientific analysis and logical thinking. Although Interstellar was made for entertainment and not educational purposes, the thorough research put into the movie allows for the average moviegoer to understand the plot and further increase his or her knowledge of the science of space.

Zachary Rudich Mr. Banks Honors Mythology Period 3 Wednesday, May 17, 2018 The Duality of Heros Interstellar is set in Earth's future. Interstellar is, in my opinion, a sci-fi, dystopian, dramatic mystery. In the movie a global crop blight and second Dust Bowl are slowly rendering the planet uninhabitable.

“The Mission” is a film that gives a historically accurate depiction of the events that took place in South America around 1750, displaying the jesuit missions and their attempt at expanding missionary ventures in the area. These missions foresaw the Jesuits going to uncharted areas of the jungle inhabited by the Guarani people, demonstrating the significance assimilating the Guarani people meant to the Jesuits. Additionally, the Guarani people were accurately displayed as a self-sustained society where basic components such as: productivity, protection, justice regulations and a form of a leader was evident in the form of their King. Nonetheless, the Guarani were an isolated group of individuals who were secluded to the outside world; their only contact with outside personnelles were slave traders who would put them into forced slavery for personal benefits. Not to mention the “Treaty of Madrid”, which resulted in the social and political disputes between the, Portuguese, Spanish and Catholic community; manifesting in the form of territorial conflicts and misunderstandings amongst the three vigorous societies, where each have a different purpose for the Guarani people.

Aboard the Enterprise, space travel is just a casual part of the crew’s everyday life. For those of us stuck on the I5 in rush hour traffic, the thought of reaching your destination in a matter of seconds, it’s a godsend. Unfortunately, the laws of physics currently prohibit our society from traveling faster than the speed of light; or even close to that speed for that matter. The limitations of our time hinder the possibilities for some of the travel used in the series, however, this does not exclude every concept of propulsion illustrated in the show. The concepts of gravitation, momentum, and long distance space travel, ring true throughout this unbelievable and imaginative program.

The Dawn of Man. Four simple words introduced what is remarked as one of the greatest films of all time. There is no spoken dialogue within the first 25 minutes and the last 23 minutes of the film. “2001: A Space Odyssey” is an ambiguous film. The broad range of audience captures various interpretations of the film. The main theme seems to be about the evolutionary process of mankind interwoven with elements of a higher or extraterrestrial entity guiding this evolution. There are some film theories that suggest this movie was all propaganda used in conjunction with the space race that occurred during World War 2. Some even go as far as to say that the same set used in “2001: A Space Odyssey” was used to fake the moon landing of 1969. However, theories with more evidence suggest that the iconic monolith doesn’t represent aliens or “God”, but instead represents the cinema screen of which we are viewing. The artistic importance of “2001: A Space Odyssey” is derived from its ability procure various conclusions.

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

‘Touching The Void’ is a documentary based on a true story about two men called Joe Simpson and Simon Yates who climbed on the west face of Siula Grande (6,344m) in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the PeruvianAndes. The first five minutes of the documentary is very effective because it draws you in and makes you want to watch the rest of the documentary, the director does this by using a lot of effective techniques. The techniques used are Photography, Camera angles, Music and sound effects, Narrative, Language, Tone and Structure.

The wormhole was first theorized in 1916 (although they weren't called that at the time), derived from Einstein's equations for relativity. A wormhole connects two points in space via a tunnel through a higher dimension. The movie featured 6 wormholes, which offered an excellent form of transportation. Our main character, Cooper was able to travel between distant planets in very little time, as compared with the traditional propulsion method of flying through space for months. Interstellar was a great movie in part to the worm holes, as each of the scenes made these vast galaxies feel that much bigger. The movie was able to amaze as we’re able to seeing far away planets and thus experience previously unreachable environments within the movie.

General Relativity is a two part theory created by the German physicist, Albert Einstein. The two sections of relativity is special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity focuses more on lines, constant-velocity motion on the mass of objects, the passage throughout time, and that passing the speed of light is impossible. General relativity deals with accelerated motion, gravitational fields on mass, size, and time. General relativity also states that matter and space effect each other and that the universe ends and there may be more universes out there. Relativity also includes space-time. Many people think that space and time are completely different variables, but physicists often combine them into “space-time”. Space-time is a four-dimensional coordinate system used in relativity and other areas of physics. The dimensions are, length, width, height, and the 4th is the time dimension.

The 1986 film The Mission depicts the relation of the Jesuits as a type of enlightening force for the Guarani people, that is able to organized theses people in way that was not before possible. The representation of the priest as these great liberators of knowledge by the movie is flattery, the natives where indeed capable of organizing themselves as a society that the films choses to ignore. The Guarani where not the pure molds that the movie presents, they contained there own original and optioned ideas on how society works after contact with the Jesuits and in the missions, a notable example of their ideas can be seen in religion. The natives are shown throughout the film of having weak constitution to their traditional spirituality, and this was not the cause in history. My argument is, the Guarini where not the passive molds for Christianity presented in the film, but where actually relatively organized in them believes of spirituality and held strong options on the subject. Supporting the argument against the films take will include: Ruiz de Montoya’s The Spiritual Conquest, a primary source form the prospective of a Jesuit priest during the time of The Mission; James Schofield Seager’s The Mission and Historical Missions: Film and the Writing of History, focuses on the historical issues riddled within the film; and lecture notes form Dr. Austin, discussing the actuality of what occurred in during the time period of The Mission.

“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.

Generalized special relativity is one of the most promising models that are found to cure many defects of special relativity. These defects include uncap ability of explaining gravitational red shift and satisfaction of the Newtonian limit [1].
