Interstellar-- do not go gentle into that good night

Interstellar, stared by Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, is a hit in 2014.
The film is talking about a group of astronauts try to find a planet for human to live in Universe. The earth is declining, and the food is no longer enough to support human. So the NASA decides to send a group of scientists to the outer space, for searching for the suitable planet.  This scientists have to sacrifice their lives and time to accomplish this challenging mission, and they even can't make promise for their family since they don't know when will they come back.

When watching this movie, it is hard to realize the scientific knowledge that the movie convey. Something like four dimensional space or the theory of relativity are hard to understand. But it won't ruin the  movie's exciting plots.




I really like this picture, since it shows the strong relation between protagonist and his daughter. They both look at the rocket which flies into the sky which means they all fascinated about the the science. I never drop down the tears in the movie theater, but this time I cry for many times.
The first time is when Cooper is going to outer space. Murphy can't accept her father is leaving her.
The second time is when Cooper went back the spaceship after an exploration on an unknown planet, he saw his children had grown up. Because of the theory of relativity, one hour on that planet equal seven years on the earth. Before Cooper left, he had told Murphy that when he come back, she might be the same age as him. And now, Murphy is at the same age as Cooper when he left. This scene moves me to tears since I can help but assume I am Murphy. If my father leave me for so long, how can I handle the pain? What if my father is Cooper, will he be sad for not participate my growing process.?





"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against of dying of night."

If you have watched this movie, you must be familiar with this poem.
Written by Dylan Thomas, the poem is written for his dying father.
But in this film, professor Brand quoted it for four times. I am curious about the meaning behind this words. I think professor is trying to encourage those scientists and have to keep the attitude of carefulness. Even the earth is no longer useful, we should not lose our faith.

This movie not just talk about the love but also the selfish of human. Some people choose to do what they want in whatever way. For survival, for all mankind, for the pathetic world......

Maybe in the future, our earth will devastate for human keep using it, and force us to find a new home in outer space. At that time, who will be willing to be that man to sacrifice himself for a mission that is uncertainty?

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
