Post 2 - Favorite Movie.

                    I tend to watch a lot of movies and TV shows. They range all different genres and maturities, yet when asked my favorite movie for this post I thought of Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar".It's about a team trying to find a new home since Earth is dying. A type of wormhole was discovered and scientists believe some higher being is leading them toward it. Visually it was amazing, the music composed by Hans Zimmer was on point the whole time, and story wise it kept you hooked through and through... though it did get confusing on my first watch of it toward the end. One minute the main character Cooper is in space heading for a black hole, the next his in some bookshelf dimension and observing time as a three dimensional projection.

              The movies literal meaning deals with fighting. Humanity is fighting for survival, trying to find a new home. Cooper, is fighting with his daughter Murph about leaving for so long. Murph fights on Earth trying to find an alternative should Cooper fail. Dr. Brand, Coopers partner in the mission fights to try and get to the planet her love went to, believing he may have found the right one.  On a potential new home, Cooper finds a scientist there who literally tries to fight and kill him to keep a harmful secret, a secret. All of these show that humanity is all about fighting whether it's for good or bad, but there is an underlying meaning that I see too.

          The underlying meaning is the opposite of fighting; helping and sacrifice. Cooper was offered the mission to look for this new planet and when he took it he sacrificed his life with his children and father to help the world. When the movie reaches the climax of the third act, Cooper sacrifices his life to save Dr. Brand, so she can find the man she loves. As Cooper is falling into a black hole he gives up and accepts his fate, but he is saved. He's saved by humanity from very far in the future. So far in the future, that humans have transcended there 3D plan and have become 5 dimensional beings from there control of gravity and time. They construct a sort of tesseract in the black hole, that lets Cooper see time as 3D. In the end we find out that it was future humans helping those in the past to find a new home.
