For those that are philosophers, pondering on life has always been a debate. To me, a film that tackles a complicated issue like life is sort of good and bad. Starring Brad Pitt as Major Roy McBride, the film’s plot takes a dive into outer space in search of Clifford H. Even I struggled to comprehend the films moral point. The full text from Virgil reads, “Per aspera ad astra,” which when translated, is “through hardships to the stars.” In essence to the film, there is some sense of struggle clearly exemplified throughout. The words “Ad Astra” comes from a Latin phrase meaning “to the stars.” This meaning is derived from Virgil, a Roman poet. Prior to seeing this film, I pondered about the title and what it meant. “Ad Astra,” separate from known science fiction films of “Interstellar” and “2001: A Space Odyssey,” delves into a complex so deep that neither I, nor most viewers, could comprehend its meaning.īefore I go into the film, there are some plot lines that might be spoiled. For those that want to know about the film, I suggest not to come with lots of questions or with a mind that thinks Brad Pitt will be violently heroic. On a Tuesday night, I decided to once again see a film that made tremendous buzz.
