The bigger picture

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

Interstellar, started off as geek porn. Then it became confusing. Then it left you staring at credits, wondering what the heck Christopher Nolan just had you watch. I was mad at first. I was mad that Christopher Nolan ruined what could have been one of the greatest films of the year. I thought that Nolan's idea of interstellar space travel, could've made the next star wars. But it didn't. And I'm glad. Instead Nolan made a movie that tried to explain the unexplainable. It tried to explain black holes, world's with more than three dimensions, and so much more. While, at the same time, having a beautiful plot, that aims to get the theme across, that love transcends time and space. But it didn't... At first. Walking out of that movie theater I was mad. Mad because I was confused. I didn't understand the bigger picture, yet. I only started to understand it when I got back home, and I just thought about it. And I'm not sure I quite understand all of it, when I'm writing this review right now. But the best movies, are the ones that make you think. And I think that I'll be thinking about this movie for weeks, months. Because I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to look at a movie the same way again after watching Interstellar. For a movie that is so complex, it gets a simple point across. And to understand that simple point, you just have to look past the fact that you may be confused about some of the subjects in the movie, you have a whole lifetime to learn about them. You just have to look at the bigger picture.
