Space exploration
The exploration of space, a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity and
boundless ambition, has sparked a profound quest to unravel the mysteries of the
universe. When faced with the given topics, I found it challenging to choose due to their
vagueness. Regardless of the option I selected, I aimed to inject it with my creative
vision, driven by my passion as a film major. I thought I could be most creative with
space exploration, which I already knew a little about because I took two space classes in
high school. Space exploration is a vast topic. I wanted to go more with my major, watch
some of the most popular space exploration movies, and then research how reliable and
valid they are from my sources. So I went onto IMDB and looked up the most popular
space exploration movies ever. The first one was one everybody knew about, Interstellar
from 2014. That will be the first one I will watch, and then I will go further down the list.
The second movie I will watch is The Martian from 2015.
The first Film I watched was Interstellar. I have watched this movie before. It has
been a while since the last time I watched it. At the movie's beginning, you meet the guy
(Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey) and his two kids (Tom, played by Timothée
Chalamet) and (Murph, played by Mackenzie Foy). Cooper was an x pilot back in his
day. With everything happening worldwide, farmers are needed because of the lack of
, food. The movie is based in the future, 2067. The world has plunged into chaos as
humanity exhausts all available resources. Individuals are forced to adapt to sweeping
changes. Imagine a scenario where Cooper, having grown up immersed in the internet
and social media culture, finds himself in a world devoid of such luxuries, with Cooper
being born in 2032. Later in the Film, they form a group with Cooper. Explore another
world to see if it can be a potentially habitable world for human life. Then, he and three
other people go into space to find otherworldly planets. The gravity of the planet they go
to, "The water planet" or "Miller's Planet," changes time drastically; an hour on that
planet is seven years on our planet. "Miller's Planet" was covered in water with huge
waves that covered the planet with no land in sight. Sadly, when they were on Miller's
planet, one of the people died in the water. With some complications, they were there for
23 years. Next, they go to a planet covered in ice. While he is there, he finds a lost
astronaut. While the dad is still in space, the daughter is trying to find a way to get him
back, and Earth is getting bad. While exploring the giant, the lost astronaut they found
turns on Cooper. While Cooper is getting attacked back on Earth, Murph is attacked by
Tom (Cooper's kids). They end up leaving the planet with the death of two Astronauts;
there only being two more left. Then they go into a black hole, which is 120 years.
Cooper sacrifices himself by entering the black hole so the other Astronaut lives. This is
when the movie kind of gets confusing. He goes back in time to when he went into the
black hole to tell his daughter not to let him leave and to make him stay so all of the bad
things that happened wouldn’t let him leave to go to space in the first place. They end up
going into other dimensions and different spacetimes. He strives to convey the
