My favourite film

My favourite film is Interstellar. A crew of astronauts travel through space to find a new home for humanity due to the global crop blight, famines and droughts. A newly discovered wormhole in the solar system allowed a team of astronauts to search for an environment that can sustain life. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) who is an ex-science engineer and pilot tries desperately hard to make food by farming to save the famine, but nothing succeeds. He stumbles across a NASA base near his home and is asked to go on a mission to find a new habitable planet.  Professor Brand (Michael Caine) is a NASA physicist who worked on plans to save mankind by transporting the Earths population to a new home. Cooper then has to decide on either never seeing his children again, or saving the human race. The film was released in 2014 and directed by Christopher Nolan who played with the idea of space exploration, time and gravity. At the end of the film, Cooper falls into a tesseract, which resembles a stream of bookshelves, which peer into Murphy’s bedroom at different periods of her life. Cooper summarises that the wormhole was created to contact Murphy and he was her ‘ghost’ the whole time. On Professor Brand’s deathbed, he admits to Murphy that he knew all along that the mission wouldn’t work. Cooper gave Murphy a watch before he left, and he relays on the quantum data to move the second-hand on the watch in order to get Murphy to solve the gravitational equation. The final scene concludes with Cooper visiting Murphy in the new habitable world that she discovered. Dolan expresses the eternal bonds between father and daughter through these scenes. The team of researchers included Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and David Gyasi. Most of these characters did not survive unfortunately.

Paramount produced the film in North America and Warner Brothers produced it internationally.

This film is my favourite because it kept me on the edge of my seat constantly, the back story is very intellectual and makes sense, which makes us feel the fantasy because of the scientific background to it. I love the type of films that are thrillers and ones that make you think about what you would do in that situation if that were to happen, as it keeps us creative.
