I am not a fan of movie theaters. I love movies, but I don't enjoy going to a theater to watch them. Thus, only few films have been honored with a cinema viewing by me. "Interstellar' was one of them.
I like to think that before going to the cinema, I wasn't greatly influenced by the magnitude of Christopher Nolan as a director, the name didn't mean much to me. I was going to the cinema with my friends just to watch what I thought would be a good movie. Little did I know, I was about to witness one of the best movies I have ever seen... or rather heard. Don't get me wrong, the visuals, the acting, the plot are superb, but what I think impressed me the most is the score, especially the main theme which I still consider the greatest soundtrack of all time.
How many movies have made you cry? Not many, I guess. I am not the exception. I have watched more than 700 movies, and only about a dozen of them made me shed a tear. On my first watch of "Interstellar", I was in the company of my friend who was crying in the middle of it like there was no tomorrow. I didn't share his emotions that day, but two weeks later, I happened to watch the movie again with another friend who hadn't seen it yet. I don't know what happened, but for some reason, on my second watch, the movie was able to pierce through my armor.
I still remember being under the immpression from the movie even hours after leaving the cinema - it felt like I went through catharsis. I know many people hate the picture, call it "overrated" and stuff, but I am deeply convinced it deserves every word of appraisal it gets. Each decade has its defining movie, "Interstellar" is one of those movies.
