A Movie of a Lifetime!

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2014)

Before I even begin writing my review for INTERSTELLAR, let me take this opportunity to say that most of the viewers, perhaps many of them will not UNDERSTAND the film fully, I mean watching INTERSTELLAR and claiming it's title in your 'watched movie' list is one thing, and understanding this epic is another, an entirely different ballgame, really, since this film is practically layered with emotions so deep that in quite a few moments I happened to realize that I was holding my breath for so long that my chest cavity ached, and it's not because of only a few, but very effective stunning visual effects (which is a regular feature in Christopher Nolan's movies), it's because the subtle yet, very powerful emotions and moments of this film 'hits simply below the belt' and where it really hurts! These kinds of a Movie comes once in a lifetime, and remember, it's not Jurassic Park, Titanic, Benjamin Button, Star Wars or Ben-HR, it's a simple story, a story which spans a century, spans entire lifetimes of people growing together and then again getting separated and then again coming together after many years when circumstances have changedI cannot really put it in detail or maybe I don't know how to put it at all, but I felt a similar sort of grief and joy woven together deep inside me, when I was watching INTERSTELLAR, similar to the feeling I was having watching Forrest Gump years ago! This is basically a story of a father and his daughter and the end of mankind on Earthof Human's search for another habitable galaxy, a story where Relativity, Time, Wormhole, Black hole, Space Travel and loss of dear ones are practically tossed, mixed and presented in the most delectable manner that I have ever witnessed! This movie is slow (2 hours 50 minutes approximately), going deep down into details, but relentlessly moving, stunning and heart-breaking at the same time. Mathew Mc Conoghuey as Cooper simply takes away all the adjectives in a vicious snatch from the critic! He's so good! Anne Hathaway and Michael Cain as both Dr. Brands along with a sinister character Dr. Mann played by Matt Damon simply add to the quality quotient of this movie; in a brief role as Copper's father, John Lithgow sparkles like a Dali sparkler. Love, Longing, Survival, Challenge and emotional ranges like Rejection, comes right out of the screen and hits the thinking viewer 'smack' in the face! This is my personal realization that Christopher Nolan purposely makes his films a little strange, hard to understand at least at one-go and bizarre- all at the same time but it's not that he constructs his films keeping in mind these attributes, it's his natural system that makes him a kind of director who makes films with multi layers and varied time- frame! A little Arthur Miller like time-play concept since his INCEPTION, MEMENTO, INSOMNIA or THE PRESTIGE! Another very important aspect of this film is definitely the music by 'Hans Zimmer' – a very thoughtful piece of work really which in-seams solo and somnolent pieces on the Piano, Stringed Instruments and different percussions and out seams with hackle raising Brass and String arrangements. INTERSTELLAR is an experience, and movie of a lifetime! A saga which will forever remain in the heart of the sensible and sensitive viewer!
