The previous names (if you don't count the recent "Dark knight") and the new movies Christopher Nolan differ by only a few letters (if we have in mind their original names - Inception (Start) and Interstellar). But essentially they are the same, because both the first and second conceptual hyperlocality, providing food for the mind.

"The beginning" was directed inward, in the most hidden corners of the human subconscious, while interstellar", on the contrary, is directed outward to infinity and beyond. In the first part last, we see the Earth of the near future, devastated by excessive exploitation of natural resources, tormented endless sandy storms. Humanity, having sent away the technological and military stupidity, focused on survival, the pledge which he sees in agriculture.

Matthew McConaughey plays (not as exaggerated as in "true detective" and "Dallas buyers club), a former pilot turned farmer, a kind of post-cowboy living with the father of his late wife (as always great John Lithgow) and two children. So lasts until the day until the warning signs of paranormal properties are not pushing the father of a family in search of a new world fit for resettlement of mankind.

I can remember Robert Zemekis, whose underrated "Contact" (filmed in 1997 with the same McConaughey in the title role), was a kind of model for Interstellar". And you and John Ford, Stanley Kubrick, the motives of which subtly combines Nolan: cowboy leaves a family that mourns him ("the Searchers" Ford"), and soon finds himself at the helm of a spaceship heading to the borders of the unknown ("2001: a Space Odyssey Kubrick). From frontier classic (the physical world) to the modern frontier (world of quantum, its oddities and paradoxes).

What cannot be taken away from the Director's "Insomnia" (by the way, another film on In-)is its pedagogical intuition, his ability to include in their narrative rather complex scientific and philosophical elements. It was in the "Beginning", and again in Interstellar": Nolan touches on concepts such as "worm holes", a gravitational singularity, the event horizon, etc. and makes it as if sure that each viewer's own personal little Stephen Hawking.

But to touch upon the concept is one thing, but to give it a visual form is quite another. Hardly "interstellar" revolutionizing the universe of science fiction, but he proves his love directed to a giant wasteland and worlds, as if turned topsy-turvy.

Nolan always tended to give your audience a spectacular sight, literally nailed them the viewer to the chair. And Interstellar" he again succeeded in this, although it is recognised that this is more a tribute to modern tastes of the public and the rules of the game modern commercial cinema. And he knows how to play skillfully, being the latter the author of Hollywood, before which opened the doors of the cabinets (and safes) most of the big boss "factory of illusions".
