Stroke of Genius…


**Interstellar Spoilers Included. Sorry Guys! You’ve long awaited this masterpiece. The Mozart of the media Industry in the 21st Century. As you sink into the comfortable theatrical seats to the echo of the advertisements that relay on to the feature film. A yellow certificate lights the screen up with the name of this masterpiece etched onto a corner of this monumental screen. A hush is followed by a series of claps and cheers as the movie starts. A movie that brings a new definition to a cinematic experience, It’s not a movie its an experience, Nolans’ 11th but greatest piece of art ‘Interstellar’. A movie that has gone through unprecedented research and so much of resources to ensure that the audience do not even have a glimpse of doubt. A place where Artificial Intelligence, Aliens, Space Travel, future of mankind has been brought out as a different entity. There is no single adjective to explain what this movie does, it keeps your mind pondering on multiple things as the credits screen rolls. To me media has been a platform where people express what they feel and try their best to spark a social movement, it’s a way of emoting and telling a story, your way, This industry didnt need to employ or show genius of any kind up and until today. He has revolutionized things, stepped up the game, made his competition rethink their every move, if I were to relate Media as a science, then Hollywood is the CERN and Christopher Nolan as Albert Einstein. During the preproduction of the movie, he worked with a very talented astrophysicist as to how a black-hole would look like, using animation and heaps of equations when simulated the results stumbled everyone, the perception of a black hole was wrong the whole 2014 odd and more years, after a thorough process of almost a petabyte, astrophysicists and professors around the world stood dumbstruck as this movie solved answers to outer space, Mother Earth’s Future Plans, space time continuum, alien life and beyond that. This shows the extensive research and groundwork he has done with his story, the perfect amalgamation of intelligence and drudgery. The Media industry isn’t just a place for people to come and achieve fame by means of commercial films, starring in glamorous sequences. No, it’s an art that is to be deeply respected and honoured to work with, media gives ultimate power within your hands, music that can intoxicate your soul, pictures that can deeply connect with your thoughts, storyline that can streamline your thought process and film that can slap you with an emotional connect. All this will only occur if this sceptre placed within your hands is used to govern them well. You will have power to instil thoughts in people’s mind only if your able to place a thought that is thick and strong enough to sustain the resistance of mankinds’ skulls. A movie like interstellar so deeply thought and giving people at powerful places to rethink strategies to an alternate universe shows how diverse we humans are. The fact that if tapped at the right place we humans have the ability to think at such a scale with almost no efficiency within our brains, Imagine what we can do at just 15% brain functionality. What would become of us? Are we evolving? Will we become superbeings? Ensure that whatever you do in your lives, do it seriously make people question themselves, redesign themselves for the better, thats what we need to be doing her not asking people questions, but ask everyone to question themselves, change needs to start within then be spread around. I believe that in such a manner, YES! events shown on screen will transpire into real events that we could see day in and day out. Cheers!
