A heavenly gift for dreamers

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2017)

Perhaps, the majority of us dreamed of space adventures when being children. Becoming an astronaut, an explorer of other worlds, whose life is extremely different from a common human being's lifestyle, comes across as something heroic. The movie Interstellar by Cristopher Nollan exploits precisely those dreams.
Even though starting with the mundane Earth scenes of corn fields, wonderful space music hints the spectators that everything happens in the near future, at the same time giving a keen feeling of an imminent disaster. Events unfold frantically fast and in no time we finally peer to open space and fascinating pictures of the purest emptiness. Overall, the marvellous mix-up of splendid alien music and fabulous views creates magical and, simultaneously, absolutely real atmosphere. In addition, bright talented actors' play supplements the illusion of reality. You crave to believe everything you see. Much more, you are already gradually becoming an integral part of it. It is not only a brave team headed by the Matthew McConaughey's hero and wandering through blackness, it is you who is coming along. This feeling does not abandon the spectator for three long hours, which otherwise might have been a big disadvantage. Needless to say, time goes by too rapidly. Eventually, a sharp perception of an imminent end strikes harshly. You turn out to be sitting merely in the cinema, you are not a hero let alone a cosmonaut and you personally have not revealed the main mystery of the Universe.
After all, there is a subtle impression left, which does not leave you for several days; maybe it can even stay with you for the rest of your life. This sensation is of the humankind having a particular mission and an invisible connection of the whole Universe with all of us. Definitely, the Nollan's genius gives us a rare superb gift that can help us divert ourselves from our mundane selfish tiny worlds to feel the greatness around us...and conceive of ourselves as little dreamers again.
