Film: Interstellar

Last December, I saw Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar”, a science fiction film about the search for a new planet. It is a film that extended our limits on space exploration. It triggered the thought that we can rather navigate and colonize a different new planet. As mentioned in the previous post, it is our responsibility to take care of earth, our home. However, in the film, we notice a perishing earth and mankind only relies on certain crop to sustain their living. What could be the cause of this? It would be due to the lack of care we provided to earth. And mankind are forced to send a space expedition to explore and discover a new home. Say, mankind survives just as it is shown at the end of the film. But, what if the concept of peace is not completely present in the minds of the new generation? Wars, conflicts, and struggles will continue despite the new generation. These struggles that happen through religious and political differences must be resolved, in order for the survival of mankind. The term “Interstellar” can be translated as “between and among stars.” Shouldn't we reflect how the stars are organized in the universe? Even in our solar systems, the planets do not clash with one another, but stays at its course with the sun as the center. The presence of a peace organization like HWPL, a sole organization that is created for one purpose, is truly needed at this time. As the world surely was created by one divine being, we must unite under one being.
