Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar mixed its science with so much existential rumination about choice and destiny and love. In the film, a crew of astronauts travels through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. In interstellar, the final frontier is not outer space but the fifth dimension, which exists beyond the three dimensions of space and the time dimension of relativity. Yet, Interstellar is a movie where love is uttered in the same breath as explanations of theory of relativity and the formula to break space-continuum (which is found in a child’s bedroom). Throughout the movie, we see there is a force that works more powerfully than science ever could: Love. The most prominent one is love for one’s family, strong enough to draw Sometimes we feel that we are tapping into that force of love. Sometimes, it picks us up and forcibly pushes us toward the right decision or action. This gets reflects in the Amelia’s desire to visit Edmunds’s planet (the planet where a former astronaut named Edmund was located) instead of the planet of Dr. Mann. Next the biggest chunk comes into the picture where Amelia offers a heartfelt disclosure on the nature of love. [At 1:27:40] "Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful; it has to mean something... Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space." Although a scientist, she believes that love is real and self-evident force, the strongest in the universe, transcending space, time, gravitation everything. In Interstellar, Amelia Brand regards love in much the same way that we regard gravity: It’s this complex force that influences everything; we’ve measured and observed it to the point where we have a pretty clear understanding of its effects; people devote their whole lives to observing it. And yet, we have no idea why it exists. [At 1:27:50] Cooper: Love has meaning. Yes, social utility, social bonding, child rearing… Brand: We love people who have died. Where’s the social utility in
Is love controlled by human beings who love one another or is love controlled by a higher power? There are many people who believe that a higher power has control over love. An example of a higher power would be a cupid, a flying angel-type creature who is supposed to shoot arrows at people to make them fall in love. There are other people who reject the idea that a higher power controls love and that the people who experience love can control it. In the novel, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", by William Shakespeare, several examples of love's association with a higher power are presented. With the use of examples from the above novel, this essay will discuss the evidence that love is associated with a higher power. Examples like: Thesius arranging a marriage between himself and Hippolyta, Egeus choosing who Hermia should marry and the fairies who have the ability to control love in the Enchanted Forest.
Love is a deep feeling of profound passion and intimacy. The story between John and Abigail Adams is a warm and deeply moving love between two of America's most moving people. Their names are inseparably linked as those of any pair in history. The story of these amazing lovers, patriots, comes to life through their intimate correspondence. Through their numerous letters of communication, one can relive their thoughts and feelings as they strengthened their bond.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek to find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
When she was a little girl, she understood the unequal between a man and a woman, and she dreamed of a day when things would be different. As she grew up, Amelia worked hard to make her dream come true. Amelia developed her personality by looking for adventure. She pledged to the boldness. She felt sad when she discovered there were the heroes of boys’ books, but not for girls in the library; however, when she read about a story of a courageous man, she wished that happened to her someday. So her teacher remarked of her, “Strive to get

Love is often misconstrued as an overwhelming force that characters have very little control over, but only because it is often mistaken for the sum of infatuation and greed. Love and greed tread a blurred line, with grey areas such as lust. In simplest terms, love is selfless and greed is selfish. From the agglomeration of mythological tales, people deduce that love overpowers characters, even that it drives them mad. However, they would be wrong as they would not have analyzed the instances in depth to discern whether or not the said instance revolves around true love. Alone, true love help characters to act with sound reasoning and logic, as shown by the tales of Zeus with his lovers Io and Europa in Edith Hamilton’s Mythology.
Tina Turner, along many artists before and after her, has written songs about love, but what is love? Why do people say they see fireworks when they fall in love? Why do your knees go weak, your palms sweat, your stomach does flip-flops and you begin to stammer when you fall in love? What is it about emotions, including love that seems to effect your entire body, both mentally and physically? Everyday, people talk about feeling happy, feeling sad, feeling anxious...and so on, but what causes emotions, in particular, what causes someone to say they are in love?
Some may say love is just an emotion while others may say it is a living and breathing creature. Songs and poems have been written about love for hundreds and thousands of years. Love has been around since the beginning of time, whether someone believes in the Big Bang or Adam and Eve. Without love, there wouldn’t be a world like it is known today. But with love, comes pain with it. Both William Shakespeare and Max Martin know and knew this. Both ingenious poets wrote love songs of pain and suffering as well as blossoming, newfound love. The eccentric ideal is both writers were born centuries apart. How could both know that love and pain work hand in hand when they were born 407 years apart? Love must never change then. Love survives and stays its original self through the hundreds and thousands of years it has been thriving. Though centuries apart, William Shakespeare and Max Martin share the same view on love whether i...
Love is a powerful force, grabbing one and making him or her do drastic acts
"There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice." (F. Scott
"All power is from within and therefore under our control." Robert Collier (Byrne, 165). This quote illustrates a certain law, a law that can grant the deepest desires of mans’ hearts. This law is ‘the most powerful law in the universe, the Law of Attraction” (Mullins, ii). There is a way, through this law, that all that one could ever want can be attained, and also all that one would never in their lifetime wish to endure can be avoided. The definition of this law is quite intriguing, not to mention that it is accomplished and run by love, and that the level of negativity in one’s thoughts alone can drastically change the outcomes of what could transpire.
Love is the basis of every day life, and it gives us the power to feel so affectionately
Victor Hugo once said, “The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” Whether in Shakespeare’s tragic play about lovers doomed by fate, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s sonnet describing love, “Sonnet 116”, or O. Henry’s age old The Gift of the Magi, love motivates the characters and authors to make decisions that have a weighty impact on their lives. Throughout these works of literature, authors use love’s power to drive the plot forward to create good events within the characters’ lives. Love is a force for good because it makes people willing to forgive each other, it brings the best out of people in bad situations, and it
Poets and philosophers for centuries have been trying to answer the question, what is love? Love has an infinite number of definitions, which vary from one person to another. Love cannot be measured by any physical means. One may never know what true love is until love it- self has been experienced. What is love? A four letter word that causes a person to behave in a way that is out of character. What is love? A first kiss, childhood crushes on a teacher or friend’s mom. What is love? A choice that people make by putting their partner’s wishes, desires and needs above everything else. What is love? The act of forgiveness, the infatuation with someone, the communication between two people. What is love? A friendship that turned into a lifelong commitment, that special someone who has vowed to spend the rest of their lives to honor and protect, to love each other “till death do you part.” When in love nothing else in the world matters. According to the online Encarta Dictionary love is the passionate feeling of romantic and sexual desire and longing for somebody. Poets and philosophers may never know what love really is, and we may never truly understand the question what is love.
