The message reads: “STAY.” Cooper assured Murph that ghosts aren’t real and left.
On the far end of the galaxy, Cooper goes into the black hole Gargantua. Once he is inside this black hole, Cooper finds himself in a “tesseract,” which is essentially the back side of his daughter’s bookcase. But it’s the back side of every single moment in time that his daughter’s bookcase has ever existed. Cooper is told by helpful robot buddy Tars that the alien built this magical Infinite Bookshelf so that Cooper could communicate with his daughter at the start of the movie. Cooper realized that he was the ghost all along.
In this movie, the plot of Interstellar itself is a closed-circle time loop. Cooper sends messages to his past self so that his past self can become his own future self. Unless you are well-versed in the physics of wormholes, don't expect to understand the intricacies of Interstellar's science. And there's a lot of science, most of which sounds unbelievable. The visuals are gorgeous. Occasionally the time-bending storyline starts to feel like it is stretching time for viewers as well, but somehow the missions are compelling enough to keep audiences interested. McConaughey balances the line between dead serious, sarcastic, and heartfelt. Both the young and adult versions of Murphy are perfectly cast. Overall Interstellar

    Another great example for production design in science fiction movies is the movie Ex Machina. To begin with, production design includes the design of sets which makes set design one of the most important aspects while producing a movie. For example, one of the points set design deals with is the location where the film is going to be shot. Funderburg (2015) explained that in the movie Ex Machina, they used two Norwegian locations both designed by the architects Jensen & Skodvin. One of the locations is a private mansion and the second one is the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which consists of single suites secretly linked to the fjord and forest around them (para. 2).…

    In conclusion, the latest film ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ (2014) has advanced in motion picture (CGI), which made the film more realistic and fitted into pop culture. It also captured audience’s eyes in some scenes and brought to light modern society conditions relating to human corruptions. The original ‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968) script structure was not creditable and lost interest throughout the storyline, such as visual effects (CGI) and lack of performance, which lead to a parody genre film rather then being a serious science fiction genre film. There were also some unneeded characters and other storytelling methods to present the narrative because it bored the audience and made it more of a Mockumentary. The twist conflict at the…

    Whether it was sitting in a dark room of a friends house, or huddled around a campfire in the middle of the woods, ghost have been a popular topic for scary stories. For a kid’s imagination a ghost is a provocative and terrifying idea, which are usually accompanied by goose bumps and an eerily feeling. For Cole, a main character in M. Night Shyamalan’s movie the sixth-sense, ghost are not just an idea in his imagination, but are part of his daily reality. Cole had a very strange “secret” in which he can see and communicate with ghost.

    Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7). This quote, which is talking about the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is saying that there is one chateau,…

    The Revolutionary War is actually very similar to the movie we all know, “Star Wars: A New Hope” by George Lucas. They are plenty of similarities such as Luke SkyWalker and America willing to fight for rights, George Washington and Obiwan Kanobi, The Emperor and King George, Darth Vader and the British Army. Comparing these characters and their similarities makes me realize how closer they are to each other than what they seem to be. The first similarity is in comparing Luke SkyWalker and America fighting for rights as compared to The Emperor and King George.…

    The legacy of Star Wars still exists today partly because it was constructed by so many different philosophies and religions. The trilogy includes aspects of Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and even Christianity. Sometimes it is hard to find, but the teachings of Christ and the truth of the gospel are paralleled several times in the films in the morality of the Jedi and Luke Skywalker. With that, while the Force and Holy Spirit are alike, the Force is not the only small aspect of God in the films. Caleb Grimes, the author of Star Wars Jesus, brings up an interesting debate in his writing, which is the idea of the connection of Christianity and Star Wars.…

    Two Oscar nominees, two very special movies about space and space adventures. “The Martian” and “Apollo 13” are one of the best movies about the world beyond the earth. They both express precisely the emotions of the astronauts travelling in the space and of the rest of the world, relatives, friends and crew members of each mission into the space. These two movies are quite different but still have a lot in common. “Apollo 13” is about seventh manned mission in American Apollo space program and the third one intended to land on the Moon.…

The story of star wars begins in the California home of George Lucas where he began to capture the romance and adventure that he saw in old movies that he watched as a young boy as well as the heroics of the great Flash Gordon TV series. so george began to write the script for a screenplay that would one day be known as "Star Wars" Before George along with a crew of over 100 men and women could begin this interstellar epic they would need people to play the roles of the characters.

    Both Paprika and Inception are the kind of films telling the relationship between reality and dreams. Also, Kon Satoshi and Christopher Nolan are both well-known directors with a large number of fans. However, Paprika was produced four years earlier than Inception, which, in my opinion, also has the content with deeper and more complex thought. Inception is mainly about the demons story of the character which was played by Leonardo DiCaprio.…
