Arts & Culture Marin at the Movies: Interstellar By The SMCC Beacon on November 18, 2014 • ( Leave a comment ) By Rebekah Marin As life on Earth becomes increasingly tough, Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, leaves his family behind to embark on a brave mission to discover what lies beyond our galaxy. He leaves behind his brilliant daughter Murph and his son Tom to cope with Earth’s current conditions on their own. Murph spends the time away from her dad trying understand how signs from the “ghost” of her childhood lead to the answer to Earth’s biggest problem yet: how will the human race survive? Meanwhile, Cooper and his team enter into another galaxy to investigate planets that may be suitable for human life, while whisking away years of life back on Earth in mere hours in the new galaxy. The extreme time warp means Cooper must make the ultimate sacrifice, watching his children grow up and have children of their own, all through a series of home videos. It is through one of these home videos that perhaps the biggest secret of the crew’s entire expedition is revealed, leaving them to map the remainder of the journey without guidance from their main source of information back on Earth. While things are going haywire in the new galaxy, Murph starts to get a footing on the situation and finally connects with her Dad after years without any kind of contact. It is their powerful connection through multiple galaxies, light years of time, and space that leads to the resurrection of mankind in a foreign place. “Interstellar” is a stunning brain teaser that stitches together elements of reality and explorations of a hypothetical world beyond our own, to excite even the most skeptical view.
