This is quite possibly one of the greatest films ever released. And that’s not an exaggeration. The music, cinematography, story, pretty much everything is at a solid 9.5
@@raymondamador1487its better honestly that they left that part out because the way it ended was more of a more suspensful ending, plus we already knew where he was going anyways, there really wasnt any need to show it and kinda kill the suspense
@@sav2902 Stay classy. You think it's cheesey to have him make it all the way to the planet. Revive Brandt, with her giving him that look of amazement... then the movie ends. Zero words spoken. Much better ending than.... nothing. Don't know if he even makes it to her planet.
@@RoxxSerm aha oh okay thank you sorry I grew up on a farm in a very rural area we didn’t have a tv just board games and books nor we didn’t have any Time to go see movies so I’m unfamiliar with directors and actors and stuff
This film broke me too which was very surprising for me because... it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed filmmaker, made a unique decision for "Interstellar" by planting 500 acres of corn for the movie's production. Nolan's dedication to authenticity and visual impact played a crucial role in this decision. To achieve the film's stunning visuals and provide a realistic portrayal of a futuristic yet agrarian society, Nolan wanted to shoot actual cornfields rather than relying solely on CGI effects. Furthermore, Nolan's commitment to practical filmmaking extended to other aspects of the production. He aimed to minimize the use of computer-generated imagery whenever possible, opting for practical effects and real sets to enhance the film's visual impact.
7:38 There’s a line in the script that didn’t make it into the final cut, but I think you can see Murph about to say it. She asks “What’s a hot dog?” I kind of wish they’d left it in. A little more world-building to illustrate that they’d run out of animal-based food
As a biologist, I always need to comment: Running out of animal based food (or bacteria-based supplements too especially) means vitamin B12 deficiency just FYI.
@@interstellar.overdrive That's why I also said "or bacteria-based supplements too especially". I know that it's actually bacteria that produce vitamin B12. But it does bioaccumulate in animal tissues (originally produced by their gut bacteria) so that is why eating animals makes it easier to get more of it. Especially for creatures such as humans who do not have extensive gut bacterias like cows and other herbivores do. Vitamin B12 does not bioaccumulate in plant tissues at all.
1. Back then a lot of people perceived it as just another space opera judging by the trailers. 2. The first half of the movie kind of drags. 3. Some of the themes are complex and scientific. It still managed a very decent 700 million worldwide at the box office. But it wasn't enough to get a sequel and now we won't find out what happened to Anne Hathaway's character.
Yep, agreed. Watching it again after a few years has a greater affect on you than the first time seeing it. It's an amazing movie and the music is extremely special at takes it to an entirely new level. It crazy how much of an effect a few notes on a church organ can have on you emotionally. The only negative thing about the movie for me is Dr Mann trying to kill everyone, just doesn't fit right. Him going crazy from isolation and calling them to his planet is fine, but not trying to kill people.
While we get all teary eyed while watching the movie, by the end youll feel as if you have waken up from meditation. Touches your heart and soul straight away.
It’s so true. It does feel like a sort of meditation. Being reminded of the sheer scope of the universe always leaves me feeling grateful for our little piece of it
You said it... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
i was taken aback by this film's scientific realism, the father-daughter bond, love, the awe-inspiring Hans Zimmer score--everything about it just left me speechless when I saw it. I watched it a total of 3 times in theaters, and that's the only film I've done this for. Side Note: Interstellar got an Academy Award for Visual Effects and the scientific advisor (Kip Thorne) of Interstellar won a nobel prize 3 years later on gravity waves. The film also got a Science Award for creating the mathematics to construct the black hole in 3-dimensional space because we've actually never seen one in real life. To make things even more exciting and a great testament to how accurate Kip Thorne's ideas were correct, the Event Horizon Telescope research team took first images of a black hole a few years ago and the images look quite similar to what was portrayed in Interstellar---just WOW!
The data that he sends to Murphy through the watch is the observable data of the singularity within the black hole. If we were able to look at and measure everything we could of a collapsed star within a black hole (the singularity) we would basically be finding the cheat code to the universe.
how? how can you not remember this movie if you saw it once?? how?? it burned into my brain when i saw it at first. and it went deeper and deeper with every rewatching...
Shoutout to Christopher Nolan for actually sending his cast and crew into an actual black hole and work hole to film this movie since he doesn’t like CGI
My favorite Nolan movie, great movie, I also remember tears in my eyes with emotion when I saw it in the theater for the first time, it is so worth watching many times
For reasons I can't explain, when Cooper is watching 23 years of video messages, most of the people reacting to Interstellar don't notice when Tom says that grandpa (Donald) was buried next to his mom and Jessy (Tom's baby), poor baby. 💔
It's hard to catch little details like the name of a new character when you're bawling your eyes out lmao. I didn't notice it myself till my third watch
Man, this scene with his kids, especially his son, killed me. I wouldn't be able to leave my kids like that (even with the possibility to rescue humanity...I am that selfish :D )
I'd want my kid to know I love them more than the entire species. If I left, I'd definitely tell my kid the world was ending, just so they'd know I wasn't leaving them behind. That I was leaving to save them. It'd be scary for them to know, but I'd rather that, than my kid thinking I had abandoned them. As a Murphy, this was a great film for me and my dad. ❤
Two scenes in particular killed me too! And it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
This movie sparked my love for science, because of its focus on the philosophy of science and its conflict with the human condition that is mostly emotionally driven. Brand's character is the embodiment of that conflict. 7 years since I've seen the movie im pursuing my science dreams and I always come back to this movie whenever I start having doubts. One of my favorite movies! Also for an amazing amazing amazingly nuanced religious movie, I recommend Silence by Martin Scorsese! Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield (main role), Liam Neeson... Incredible movie. My favoritr movie of all time.
It's movies like this one that really want to see the space program flourish so we can start mining asteroids for materials. Then we can turn Earth into a nature preserve.
I went to see this in theaters and it quite literally changed me as an individual. It changed the course of my life. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a special limited edition copy, that came with two versions of the film, DVD and Blu-ray, as well as a Blu-ray special features that had over 3 hours of behind the scenes content (my favorite of which was the section that talked about building the score and using this enormous church organ). It also had a booklet with still images and behind the scenes captions, as well as an actually piece of one of the distributed film reels - both of which were unfortunately lost/stolen. In the last interview in the special features, Emma Thomas, the wife and producing partner of Nolan, said that her hope for this movie would change people's lives. When I heard that for the first time I desperately wanted to contact them somehow, to personally thank them for the work they did that has changed my life, changed me as a person, made me more compassionate, empathetic, understanding, accepting, humble, and generous.
I really like y’alls philosophical viewpoints and exchange at the end of this one. They mirror many of my own. Oh, and of course, that was a really good reaction to watch!
Great reaction! Hard to comment except to say "Yes, you are correct - this is a devestating and beautiful movie." If you have an offscreen McConaughey list, add Frailty to it - awesome, madly underrated gem.
It took me almost ten years to realize Topher Grace is in this movie. A decade down the line and this masterpiece continues to unearth these buried little joys and hidden surprises like that or some other random, but really purposely put there detail in the background easter egg. The child actress playing Murph is so spot-on look wise to Jessica Chastain that I think Christopher Nolan traveled through a wormhole back in time, grabbed Eleven year old Jessica Chastain from her childhood timeline in gym class, brought her forward through time into the future, shot all her scenes as a kid, put back her child version self, returning her to her proper timeline and childhood, already in progress. She and Anne Hathaway are phenomenal and my two favorites. ** Punch dance kick impromptu celebration, but in the lifeless, lumbering form of a dead-eyed marionette** Matt Damon!
Saw the movie 7 days a week for months after it came out.. Been seeing it now and then ever since.. And one thing never changes.. When Cooper meets old Murph.. I cry. I cry a lot. Like Brand said.. "I'm afraid of time"
Bruh i subbed as soon as she said i'm not a great driver bc i panic. Most people don't take that accountability and it's refreshing as hell to see it. I'm not someone who panics because of trauma I've experienced in the past and it's really hard for me to work with people who panic because I'm just trying to think of how to fix the situation in that moment lol. Refreshing, thank you.
I watched this film about six months ago on a very long international flight. I kid you not, we hit some turbulence during the docking scene. I didn't get the IMAX experience, but it was still an awesome (and funny) memory that I will never forget. Such a fantastic film. I hope to see it in IMAX one day.
@@FinestCrimson I was in a regular theater, but I kid you not, the entire theater was vibrating and shaking during the docking scene. We truly felt like we were there with Cooper and Brand. The soundtrack during that scene was epic and elevated the whole experience. Best experience in theater, for sure. Never felt like that before.
Hello. Greetings from Brazil. I really like reactions, I've watched dozens of Interstellar, one of my favorites. I usually just leave a like, but yours was really good. The way you expressed your feelings and the interaction with each other was touching. Since they like this genre, I make a suggestion, from the film Arrival.
Dr. Mann is not an evil person. His survival instinct took over. We can agree that what he did was wrong, and in the grand scheme could have ended the human race, but it wasn’t with malicious intent. He’s not an evil person, he’s just a person who acted within his human nature. Just calling him evil doesn’t allow a more nuanced understanding of the psychology within a scenario like that; it’s the cheap way out so that we don’t have to contemplate our own potential for acting similarly.
We don’t think he’s evil. We even acknowledge that humans are complex. If he were evil, he wouldn’t have accepted the huge responsibility of the mission. There is a good deal of evil in his choice to mutiny though. He may have deluded himself into believing his actions were to the benefit of mankind, but the carelessness with which he went about them goes to show it was about self preservation in the end, his colleagues lives be damned…there is evil in that.
@@MegMageReactsyou have to remember that he spent years resisting the urge to push the button, as he himself says, Cooper wasn't tested like he was, years alone, losing his sanity.
@MegMageReacts I think most humans "WANT" to be good and even try to be good. But I think all of us are inherently evil. Sorry to sound so morbid. I think most humans would do what Mann did.
Dr. Mann (Matt Daemon) wanted to steal their ship, dock with Endurance station (the round thing they attached to), go to Edmund's planet and populate it by bombarding the planet with fertilized eggs (use plan b to start a new humanity). He's not quite a villain, but he would leave Cooper and Amelia to die on his planet.
It never fails, every time Murph appears during that 23-year recap I just start crying. And in the end, when she says "Because my dad promised me." it's equally strong. I don't see how any movie is ever gonna top this.
Wow, I honestly didn't expect the mushroom talk at the end but it did resonate with me. Definitely earned a sub. Fungi are ancient organisms, they literally turned the barren rock surface of the young earth into soil. Fungi are some of the fastest adaptive species I can think of. Almost all life on the surface came about because of the efforts of fungi throughout the earth's history. They are one of few organisms that actually creat ideal conditions not just for their own reproduction, but also the reproduction of species they pick and choose to cooperate with. Absolutely fascinating little creatures.
53:45 took acid lots. always arrived at the same place, which is what you're describing. that and the fact that we are also all balancing on a spiritual and material tightrope over and endless void
Blows my mind no one picks up Matt Damon’s character being named Dr. MAN, as if the film is showing us the folly and evil of man kind through him. Don’t forget he was suppose to be “the best of us” as different characters repeat through out the film.
I love both of you guys’ perspective on the paranormal, life after death, past lives, etc. it’s very refreshing seeing people who think similarly to me and no, your not alone in thinking these things as I think and believe them too❤
Funniest thing you guy talking about space and religion Matthew McConaughey was in the movie contact where he is a religious guy that says he believes in life on other planets because if there isn't that's an awful waste of space
From the perspective expressed at the end of the movie, I think the movie "Contact" would be a good choice. It also has Matthew McConaughey, not the main actor, the main actor is Jodie Foster.
Dr. Mann: "I'm gonna dock!" -"No, you're total idiot don't even think. And also it's very funny to see how you die." Cooper: "I'm gonna dock!" -Yess! You're super genius ultra brave man. And it's also very emotional how you are doing it. I am just crying right now.
On the water planet, Miller's planet, each tick of the clock sound you hear, represents the passage of Earth time. Each tick interval is 1.25 seconds. Every hour on Miller is about 7 years on Earth. There are 3,600 seconds in an hour (and 86,400 seconds in a day x 365.25 days in a year x 7 years on Earth per hour on Miller, or roughly 221,000,000 seconds in 7 years). This gives us a conversion factor of 221,000,000/3,600 ≈ 61,400 seconds which pass on Earth for every second spent on Miller. Multiply this by the interval between each tick, and you get 77,000 Earth seconds, about 21 hours. So, each tick you hear is a whole day passing on Earth.
I remember watching instellar on my phone on a free website in school and my stomach dropping during the seeing he's watching the years of video messages from his son.
Yup, that scene "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
@@MegMageReacts During that scene, I was half-distracted while trying to eat a salad and half-consciously thought to myself "Why are my eyes watering and dripping down my nose?" lol
I don't understand people who say Nolan's movies are all emotionally cold movies that are otherwise great. Especially coming out of Oppenheimer, this criticism is invalid.
A little late but man this has to be one of the best reactions out there. You guys onderstood the movie from the beginning, not only the plot bus what Nolan intended you to see and feel. You earned my sub :) * edit * only thing i would advise with these kind of movies is to get good headphones. The music, the silences, the overall quality of sounds adds very much to the experienceand simple in ear plugs won't do the job. Just a suggestion though :)
This reaction has brought so many things to my thoughts that I don't know where to begin. When you said: what if we were placed as eggs on planet Earth, I thought the same (but at the end of the film). The aircraft Cooper was remote controlling and the motif of letting go kind of goes hand in hand with what his son later tells him in the video. Murph and Tars connection, specially in the docking scene. Something that I have just thought of: the flat tire and the Endurance relationship. It's too late in my country but it was such a cool thing to have seen and heard your brilliant thoughts and comments. Have a great one!
Nice reaction you two! I like your idea of the afterlife being a recycling of the soul, basically reincarnation. If you haven’t seen it, “Cloud Atlas” is a deep complex movie that deals with reincarnation and how one’s actions have ripple consequences across time, from the 1800’s to the 2300’s, and each time period is connected with non linear story telling. It also has a theme of fighting slavery and injustice. Excellent movie. It was an adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell, and has a full cast and had a huge budget. It also has a beautiful, moving soundtrack.
Damn I figured I would never get old (by that I mean I would be able to keep up with lingo even as I got older like cappin )but I don't know what preventtifiedit isor helicopter parents

The TV show, "The Expanse" is one of the most scientifically accurate shows while this movie, "Interstellar", is the most scientifically accurate movie. As an Arizonan it always cracks me up to see reactors so shocked by the haboob (sandstorm). I’ve had to wait for buses to/from work in these. Dr. Mann kept finding ways to imagine himself of being capable of accomplishing many things and then he kept failing. He thought his planet would be THE next human planet and he'd be the hero of mankind. He thought he'd stay with Cooper while he died; but then got overwhelmed with the consequences of his own actions and gave up. He failed at going forward with the mission because of his own hubris. He was a villain, yes, but I kind of get how/why he went insane. He and the other 11 astronauts left Earth 10 years before Cooper & Brand. He had been alone on his plane for 34 years by the time Cooper, Brand, and Romly get to him. I mean, look what happened to America & other nations after the COVID lockdowns. That was only 3 months & we humans are SO undeniably more messed up than ever before. The movie is based on an original concept by producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and is set around 2067. In the event horizon/center of the black hole is a tesseract; a 3 dimensional representation of our future 5 dimensional understanding of time. If Cooper travels “up” or “down” in the tesseract he is able to view different moments in the past and touch the items in each time to communicate with Murphy. Tom, Cooper’s son, had a baby while Cooper was in space, but the baby (Jesse) died early on and was buried out behind the house and later so was Grandpa. Tom died 20 years or so before Cooper made it out of the tesseract and to Saturn. More of the scientific details are in Kip’s book, “The Science of Interstellar”. The crew's shuttle was being pulled into the spinning black hole that they had named, "Gargantua", and they had no fuel to fly/pull away from it. Cooper first released the robot, T.A.R.S., into the spinning black hole wanting the robot to try and gather data while traveling through the black hole. This way, if the robot gets found by someone they can try to gather the data and use it. To prevent Dr. Brand from dying Cooper then released Dr. Brand's shuttle at a specific time so that the spinning black hole's gravity would slingshot/swing her off towards the other planet that they did not have enough fuel to get to using the ship alone. When Cooper's shuttle gets pulled into the spinning black hole it begins to fall apart because of the strong gravity, but because the black hole was spinning he did not get pulled apart like we would with a stationary black hole. He ejects himself from the shuttle, but quickly falls into a TESSERACT. The tesseract that the future "humans" placed in the black hole for him is a physical representation of a 4th dimension for humans of today to make sense of. The future humans that built the three dimensional bookcase in five dimensional space essentially pinpointed a specific coordinate in the universe that was important to Murphy (obviously she became the most famous figure of Earth’s exodus so they knew she was the key) and used that point to send Coop. They did not know at what point in time he was able to communicate everything of importance to her, so instead they gave him a “ladder” of time to glide through and find those points in time for himself. In this tesseract Cooper is only seeing different moments in time of his daughter's bookcase. He can go to a time when she's very young or older and try to communicate by pushing her books. At first, he doesn't realize that he needs to help her build the space stations that will eventually house the people from Earth. So, at first, he tries to communicate with her just like the 'ghost' was in the beginning of the movie and he fails to get her to make him stay. When he realizes that this is something he cannot change he realizes he can also communicate with T.A.R.S. He asks T.A.R.S. to take ALL gathered data from the black hole and the future humans and encode it into the movement of Murphy's watch's second hand. Using Morris Code T.A.R.S. is able to share the info with Murphy. The entire time Murphy is doing her work to build the space stations Cooper is in her book case working with T.A.R.S. He is still alive. Doctor Brand found out that the man she loved had found a planet that humans can live on, but he had died in a landslide. This is why his beacon had stopped earlier in the movie. Cooper was guided by his love, which was a theme of the movie and is the only force we can conceive across time and space. This movie is about love. Love for your children, love for your significant other, love for humanity, etc. Had Coop allowed Dr. Brand (Anne Hathaway) to seek out Edmund in the beginning , they would’ve found their new home immediately. Her love was guiding her as well, and even though logically Matt Damon’s planet seemed like a better bet (due to his fake data), her love was pointing true. Side note: I do still blame her for everything going wrong from Miller’s planet though, lol.
As simply as I can. Our conscious experience of existence is the evolution of the conscious being who became us, everything. This is the metaphysical nature of our existence. Conscious being. Creator didn't just create our existence, it became it. Disclosure.🤔
Great movie. I saw it twice in theatre and let me tell ya, the space scenes were amazing. I would argue space creating those feelings is due to the mind of its creator. Space, is one of the greatest examples of the existence of God in my opinion. The minuscule and finite balance of cosmic integrity and the information contained in it, as well as life in general, there is absolutely no other explanation or source of that other than an intelligent creator. In new to your channel. Big comic book reader and all things comic related, so i have been going through watching all your comic movie stuff and saw Interstellar so i had to watch it. As a father of three, the scenes with Murph always crush me no matter how many times i see them.
First of all I just want to give a shout out to Hans Zimmer for being the absolute best composer. He had been bringing heat his entire career. But I wanted to say having seen a lot of Nolan's films in the theater this is the one that benefited from IMAX the most. Being in that theater with that massive screen during the shots in space and the silence....was insane. And the scene with the waves omg. I literally looked from the bottom of the screen to the top with my jaw open. Felt like a kid again. Cinema. 📽️
Crazy but true, the black hole rendering of this movie helped give physicists a better understanding of black holes. Each frame of Gargantua took 100 hrs to render🖤
16:17 ... Wait, how did you know that old woman was Murph??? I thought they were pretty slick about that! Edit: No way you predicted Cooper being the Ghost too oml
@@MegMageReactsI saw the movie, I enjoyed it a lot But the explicit sexual scenes bothered me because they were unnecessary, I also felt sorry for the actresses who did those scenes, I also don't understand why Nolan treats women that way, I hope you reply to the message and know your opinion please 🙏🏻
We have thoughts! A lot of thoughts on that movie, actually. Too much to share in a comment 😅 We might have to do a video debrief. Quick version, we felt her character was owed more depth. I’m sure Nolan had a reason for those scenes, but they did feel somewhat agency-less
@@MegMageReactsI totally agree with you in your opinion 😉 I hope you also make a video giving your opinion on that topic, The actresses in the film deserved something more and not do those explicit sexual scenes that were really unnecessary and even uncomfortable 😅
@@Gonzalo_Almendrai didn’t see the film yet , i heard people thought it was unnecessary but she’s an actress , the scene is just an act . there’s a lot of films where actors and actresses have sexual scenes . they read the scripts before hand so she knew what would happen . she agreed to the part she’s just doing her job .
I saw this in IMAX high AF on edibles, one of the best experiences ever! Completely blown away, even though I was really high, I still vividly remember that experience. Excellent film! If you guys haven't seen it yet, I recommend Nolan's film Momento too. It's an interesting premise..... Welp, time to get lost in Interstellar piano covers on youtube again. All hail the algorithm!
"At least we know she lives, from the interview at the beginning." This is yet another reason I despise having captions on whilst watching a movie. They give away secrets, as well as distracting from the visual element of the film.
Someone suggested to me that maybe Cooper died entering (or in) the black hole, fulfilling what Dr. Mann told him … that the last thing you will see before you die is your children. Everything after he left Dr. Brand was a dream as he was dying. After many, many watchings, I still can’t decide what I believe … same with the end of Inception. At this point, Christopher Nolan has made 5 or 6 perfect or near perfect movies. It’s not even really debatable, he has cemented his legacy on the Mount Rushmore of great filmmakers. I’m glad I lived long enough to see his vision and artistic storytelling come to life.
The movie was written by an astrophysicist so all the science is very accurate, I heard somewhere the most BS part is the fact it would actually take several million years for a blight to get that bad
You're getting emotional already? You gotta keep it together, the movie just started!!!! There's going to be plenty of time for tears, especially when thst Hans Zimmer score kicks in at those pivotal moments of the movie
Two scenes "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
@sathvamp1 There is another movie that hits me right in the heart muscle and I tear up every single time. It's a little Tom Cruise sci fi classic from the 2010's called Oblivion. The entire ending sequence up to the final scene and rnd credits is some of the most beautiful piece of film making I've ever scene. From Cruise's character narrating, to Morgan Freeman being there, that score by M83, Anthony Gonzales and Joseph Tranpanese just going in, and then Cruise's character comes back at the very end going "My name is main character, and I'm home". What the f*ck, movie??!! This whole thing was a fun little sci-fi action movie, this had no business putting so much heart into that final act, being that emotional. And this is every time I watch this movie, movies like Guardians 3 and Everything Everywhere All At Once, even Interstellar got me good in the feels my first viewing of it but that was only the first time, afterwards I can see it coming. But Oblivion, it's every watch, and it's made worse because my viewings are pretty spread out over the years so I'm sitting there watching this cool stylish action movie and then, oh wait, there's that final act again
@@nedzed3663 Thanks for sharing- that made THAT movie go RIGHT onto my list :) Guardians 3 is also on my list... based on certain thumbnails of some of my favorite reactors but I'm trying to put off watching theirs until I see it on my own, hehe. And YES It's even rarer for a movie to "get me" more than once. Only ONE movie has done that so far, relatively recently (a total of ELEVEN times in fact)... that one is "Nimona"!
Like the two of you, I'm not a Christian (I'm an agnostic Buddhist). We are Star Stuff. Every atom other than hydrogen was forged in the core of a star. When the Sun becomes a red giant, those who died will return to Star Stuff. It IS spiritual thing. This film is wonderful - and makes me cry a lot - just like Arrival and 2010 (HAL and Chandra).
35:49 I can't help but find myself agreeing with Dr Mann. Usually, the "villain's" beliefs have been taught through harsh life experiences, while the hero's beliefs are based on idealistic morals. It's easy for us to say "there was still hope" from the comfort of our homes when we didn't spend *decades* of obsessive research on astrophysics
I’m glad you brought up Christianity, this movie actually doesn’t go against anything that they believe and reinforces many of the ideas. It was a great observation. I encourage people look deeper into the history because I found many of the statements that people make are wrong.
The scene I thought was most emotional was near the end… “No parent should have to watch their child die.” If you really want a sci-if to mess with your perception of reality you should watch Arrival with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner (if you haven’t seen it yet).
Two scenes got me in this one... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
I'm confused. At the beginning of your reaction you seem to talking as if the reason our Earth is becoming inhabitable is only due to people ignoring some environmental laws. Would you even consider the fact that our Sun is constantly changing it's output over the course of it's life as being a possible cause?
Note - the Black Hole in this movie was once a Sun like ours. It eventually reached an age where it's ability to safely produce light and heat was reached. Then in it's final life (Billions of years usually) it collapsed upon itself and transformed into a Black Hole. Our Son will eventually reach that stage in its life and do the same thing. There is nothing we can do to stop that from happening, since no single planet orbiting around it could impact the situation, only feel the resulting solar system changes.
I love how the wave scene seem just a random but cool sci-fi thing but for physics connoisseurs it makes perfect sense : a planet this close to a black hole will experience huge tidal forces.
With such tidal forces, the planet's crust would also be torn up, I think. Kip Thorne, the main scientific advisor for this movie told in a lecture, that the water-planet was a rogue planet captured by Gargantua. The rotational axis of the planet wasn't aligned with the ecliptic plane of Gargantua, so it began to "wobble", causing the oceans on the surface to "slosh around", which can cause these high and sharp waves. Tidal waves wold be much smoother and farther away from each other. While this "sloshing" should balance itself out relatively quickly (on a cosmic scale), the close proximity of Gargantua (and the relativistic time dilation) means, that an outside viewer would see this playing out for much longer. By the way, here is a link for the aforementioned lecture: ua-cam.com/video/lM-N0tbwBB4/v-deo.html
22:28 That feeling is called the Numinous... I'd recommend listening to / reading Contact by Carl Sagan... that book has informed how I understand my spirituality and universal awe that I feel as an Agnostic myself.
This book has been on our shelf for YEARS. It’s definitely moving up the list. Thanks for the recommendation and information! That’s such a cool word…numinous
14:10 no, Nolan didn't write this movie. Kip Thorne, a Nobel Prize winner in astrophysics did - he came to Nolan and proposed the idea of the movie. Nolan added the "love transcends spacetime" idea and the plotline with daugher iirc. Thorne did write a book about science in Interstellar AFTER the movie came out, though.
Several people wrote the screenplay. The original premise for the film came from producer Linda Obst and Kip Thorne. Christopher Nolan's brother, Jonathan, was then hired to write the screenplay (2007). Jonathan Nolan came up with the Dust Bowl setting, where the Earth was depleted of resources. Christopher Nolan came on as director in 2012. He retained Jonathan's ideas but rewrote the back half of the screenplay, which featured space travel and the black hole problem.
Dear Meg: The male planets are Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Mercury and Uranus are neuter. Moon, Venus, Neptune, and Pluto are female (though Pluto is related to Mars despite its Dark Mother feminine archetype).
Idk why a line as corny as “it’s not possible…no it’s necessary” hits so hard for me. Probably cuz at that moment I did think it was game over for the mission completely. This movie is my favourite movie. I can rewatch it over and over and still bawl my eyes out
I REALLY like that line of "not possible... it's necessary" because as a VERY determined person, I have heard SO many people say things like "it's impossible" when what they REALLY mean is "very difficult".
And on another note: There are two scenes in this movie that pulled tears from me... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end. My only "repeater tearjerker" was actually "NImona" though (that one got me 11 times which is unheard of for me!)
When i watched this movie for the 2nd time, showing it to my gf, i pretended to fall asleep for everything past the black hole. We were not yet in a place in our relationship where she needed to see me in that kinda emotional state.
Since you’re on a sci-fi kick right now, may I suggest 1981’s Outland, starring Sean Connery? Also, your husband saying that he’d read the novel The Martian got an immediate like. 😁
I LOVE Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary blew my mind too! So freaking cool! This is Caleb btw. I manage the channel too. Thanks for being here and for the suggestion!
@@MegMageReacts you mentioned early in this video that you haven’t watched all of Christopher Nolan’s films. Can’t wait to see your reactions to Insomnia, Following, Memento, and The Prestige. They’re all great movies that I think you both would like.
This is quite possibly one of the greatest films ever released. And that’s not an exaggeration. The music, cinematography, story, pretty much everything is at a solid 9.5
IMO. This movie is unfinished. It should have ended with Brand waking up to Cooper, then end. It would've made a better ending.
@@raymondamador1487that would be way too cheesy
@@raymondamador1487its better honestly that they left that part out because the way it ended was more of a more suspensful ending, plus we already knew where he was going anyways, there really wasnt any need to show it and kinda kill the suspense
@@raymondamador1487 cringe cheesy disney ahh ending. remind me never to hear your film opinions again
@@sav2902 Stay classy. You think it's cheesey to have him make it all the way to the planet. Revive Brandt, with her giving him that look of amazement... then the movie ends. Zero words spoken. Much better ending than.... nothing. Don't know if he even makes it to her planet.
Shoutout to Hans Zimmer for this legendary soundtrack
He never miss
hans zimmer + christoper nolan = ultimate masterpiece
I don’t know who the fuck Hans Zimmer is I don’t pay attention to directors mainly because I don’t care about directors
@@Sky2-n4gHes a composer not a director.
@@RoxxSerm aha oh okay thank you sorry I grew up on a farm in a very rural area we didn’t have a tv just board games and books nor we didn’t have any Time to go see movies so I’m unfamiliar with directors and actors and stuff
Let me tell you this: I watched this movie in 2014 and I got extremely teary eyed.
When I rewatched in 2019 when I was a father of a Son, it broke me!
This film broke me too which was very surprising for me because... it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
My girls were babies when I saw it in the theatre, now they are young Murphs - It breaks me too now.
Movie hit different after having kids. Gets me every time. Masterpiece
Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed filmmaker, made a unique decision for "Interstellar" by planting 500 acres of corn for the movie's production. Nolan's dedication to authenticity and visual impact played a crucial role in this decision. To achieve the film's stunning visuals and provide a realistic portrayal of a futuristic yet agrarian society, Nolan wanted to shoot actual cornfields rather than relying solely on CGI effects. Furthermore, Nolan's commitment to practical filmmaking extended to other aspects of the production. He aimed to minimize the use of computer-generated imagery whenever possible, opting for practical effects and real sets to enhance the film's visual impact.
7:38 There’s a line in the script that didn’t make it into the final cut, but I think you can see Murph about to say it.
She asks “What’s a hot dog?”
I kind of wish they’d left it in. A little more world-building to illustrate that they’d run out of animal-based food
As a biologist, I always need to comment: Running out of animal based food (or bacteria-based supplements too especially) means vitamin B12 deficiency just FYI.
@@sathvamp1 you don't need animals to produce B12
@@interstellar.overdrive That's why I also said "or bacteria-based supplements too especially". I know that it's actually bacteria that produce vitamin B12. But it does bioaccumulate in animal tissues (originally produced by their gut bacteria) so that is why eating animals makes it easier to get more of it. Especially for creatures such as humans who do not have extensive gut bacterias like cows and other herbivores do. Vitamin B12 does not bioaccumulate in plant tissues at all.
I don't think this movie was appreciated enough at the time. I think it's a masterpiece.
Agreed!! It seems to have had a much greater impact on people than some of the more “critically acclaimed” movies released that year
1. Back then a lot of people perceived it as just another space opera judging by the trailers.
2. The first half of the movie kind of drags.
3. Some of the themes are complex and scientific.
It still managed a very decent 700 million worldwide at the box office. But it wasn't enough to get a sequel and now we won't find out what happened to Anne Hathaway's character.
@CarlosRodriguez-bh2ey a sequel isn't necessary and wouldn't work. The movie was centered around Murph & Coop - not Brand.
The trailers werent great, I went to it because it was a Christopher Nolan movie
Yep, agreed.
Watching it again after a few years has a greater affect on you than the first time seeing it.
It's an amazing movie and the music is extremely special at takes it to an entirely new level.
It crazy how much of an effect a few notes on a church organ can have on you emotionally.
The only negative thing about the movie for me is Dr Mann trying to kill everyone, just doesn't fit right. Him going crazy from isolation and calling them to his planet is fine, but not trying to kill people.
While we get all teary eyed while watching the movie, by the end youll feel as if you have waken up from meditation. Touches your heart and soul straight away.
It’s so true. It does feel like a sort of meditation. Being reminded of the sheer scope of the universe always leaves me feeling grateful for our little piece of it
You said it... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
The thing that makes Nolans movies special other than cinematography, story, emotion is the music ❤. It sets the tone so much.
The scores for his films are truly next level. Not a single one disappoints
Hans Zimmer is truly a master.
i was taken aback by this film's scientific realism, the father-daughter bond, love, the awe-inspiring Hans Zimmer score--everything about it just left me speechless when I saw it. I watched it a total of 3 times in theaters, and that's the only film I've done this for.
Side Note: Interstellar got an Academy Award for Visual Effects and the scientific advisor (Kip Thorne) of Interstellar won a nobel prize 3 years later on gravity waves. The film also got a Science Award for creating the mathematics to construct the black hole in 3-dimensional space because we've actually never seen one in real life. To make things even more exciting and a great testament to how accurate Kip Thorne's ideas were correct, the Event Horizon Telescope research team took first images of a black hole a few years ago and the images look quite similar to what was portrayed in Interstellar---just WOW!
The data that he sends to Murphy through the watch is the observable data of the singularity within the black hole. If we were able to look at and measure everything we could of a collapsed star within a black hole (the singularity) we would basically be finding the cheat code to the universe.
how? how can you not remember this movie if you saw it once?? how?? it burned into my brain when i saw it at first. and it went deeper and deeper with every rewatching...
Shoutout to Christopher Nolan for actually sending his cast and crew into an actual black hole and work hole to film this movie since he doesn’t like CGI
Very few reactors notice that Brand buried her lover, AND took off her helmet (breathable atmosphere). Thank you for that! Subscribed!
My favorite Nolan movie, great movie, I also remember tears in my eyes with emotion when I saw it in the theater for the first time, it is so worth watching many times
For reasons I can't explain, when Cooper is watching 23 years of video messages, most of the people reacting to Interstellar don't notice when Tom says that grandpa (Donald) was buried next to his mom and Jessy (Tom's baby), poor baby. 💔
It's hard to catch little details like the name of a new character when you're bawling your eyes out lmao. I didn't notice it myself till my third watch
Man, this scene with his kids, especially his son, killed me. I wouldn't be able to leave my kids like that (even with the possibility to rescue humanity...I am that selfish :D )
It’s an impossible decision. Truly
I'd want my kid to know I love them more than the entire species. If I left, I'd definitely tell my kid the world was ending, just so they'd know I wasn't leaving them behind. That I was leaving to save them.
It'd be scary for them to know, but I'd rather that, than my kid thinking I had abandoned them.
As a Murphy, this was a great film for me and my dad. ❤
Two scenes in particular killed me too! And it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol.
Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
Don't feel bad, most people are.
This movie sparked my love for science, because of its focus on the philosophy of science and its conflict with the human condition that is mostly emotionally driven. Brand's character is the embodiment of that conflict.
7 years since I've seen the movie im pursuing my science dreams and I always come back to this movie whenever I start having doubts.
One of my favorite movies!
Also for an amazing amazing amazingly nuanced religious movie, I recommend Silence by Martin Scorsese! Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield (main role), Liam Neeson... Incredible movie. My favoritr movie of all time.
It's movies like this one that really want to see the space program flourish so we can start mining asteroids for materials. Then we can turn Earth into a nature preserve.
Every time i tune in to a megmage video i learn so much more about life, and the beautiful way we can see ourselves and the world around us.
to add to the stress of the waterworld scene, every tick you can hear in the soundtrack is one day back on earth
I went to see this in theaters and it quite literally changed me as an individual. It changed the course of my life. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a special limited edition copy, that came with two versions of the film, DVD and Blu-ray, as well as a Blu-ray special features that had over 3 hours of behind the scenes content (my favorite of which was the section that talked about building the score and using this enormous church organ). It also had a booklet with still images and behind the scenes captions, as well as an actually piece of one of the distributed film reels - both of which were unfortunately lost/stolen. In the last interview in the special features, Emma Thomas, the wife and producing partner of Nolan, said that her hope for this movie would change people's lives. When I heard that for the first time I desperately wanted to contact them somehow, to personally thank them for the work they did that has changed my life, changed me as a person, made me more compassionate, empathetic, understanding, accepting, humble, and generous.
That’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏻 it’s amazing the impact stories can have on our lives
I really like y’alls philosophical viewpoints and exchange at the end of this one. They mirror many of my own. Oh, and of course, that was a really good reaction to watch!
The Docking scene is one of the best I’ve ever watched, absolutely incredible
Great reaction! Hard to comment except to say "Yes, you are correct - this is a devestating and beautiful movie."
If you have an offscreen McConaughey list, add Frailty to it - awesome, madly underrated gem.
frailty is a seriously lost underrated film!!!!
It took me almost ten years to realize Topher Grace is in this movie. A decade down the line and this masterpiece continues to unearth these buried little joys and hidden surprises like that or some other random, but really purposely put there detail in the background easter egg. The child actress playing Murph is so spot-on look wise to Jessica Chastain that I think Christopher Nolan traveled through a wormhole back in time, grabbed Eleven year old Jessica Chastain from her childhood timeline in gym class, brought her forward through time into the future, shot all her scenes as a kid, put back her child version self, returning her to her proper timeline and childhood, already in progress. She and Anne Hathaway are phenomenal and my two favorites.
** Punch dance kick impromptu celebration, but in the lifeless, lumbering form of a dead-eyed marionette**
Matt Damon!
I watched this in IMAX premiere weekend......Best cinematic experience of my life alongside of The Dark Knight in IMAX
Saw the movie 7 days a week for months after it came out..
Been seeing it now and then ever since..
And one thing never changes..
When Cooper meets old Murph.. I cry. I cry a lot.
Like Brand said..
"I'm afraid of time"
Bruh i subbed as soon as she said i'm not a great driver bc i panic. Most people don't take that accountability and it's refreshing as hell to see it. I'm not someone who panics because of trauma I've experienced in the past and it's really hard for me to work with people who panic because I'm just trying to think of how to fix the situation in that moment lol. Refreshing, thank you.
Even after seeing this movie a dozen times, i still am crying endlessly even just watching this video. Thats a testament to how great Interstellar is
Literally the best film to be made I saw this in imax in theatere. I can’t explain how much this movie meant to me. Fills a void.
I think I'm reading a lot into the dynamic between these two and what their personal lives are like.
@@Khqra just say you’re jealous. It’s way easier. I’m way happier than you will EVER be.
"Interstellar" was written by Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan, a screenwriter, director and producer who co-created the series "Westworld".
Seeing this movie in imax was legendary, best theater experience I’ve ever had. Such a great movie
I pray that the film will be shown in theaters again
they put in on in the UK a month ago, I managed to see it first time in the cinema. best movie of all time @@einspruch3905
I watched this film about six months ago on a very long international flight. I kid you not, we hit some turbulence during the docking scene.
I didn't get the IMAX experience, but it was still an awesome (and funny) memory that I will never forget. Such a fantastic film. I hope to see it in IMAX one day.
@@FinestCrimson I was in a regular theater, but I kid you not, the entire theater was vibrating and shaking during the docking scene. We truly felt like we were there with Cooper and Brand. The soundtrack during that scene was epic and elevated the whole experience. Best experience in theater, for sure. Never felt like that before.
@@FinestCrimson Omigosh that is SOOO creepy!!
Hello. Greetings from Brazil. I really like reactions, I've watched dozens of Interstellar, one of my favorites. I usually just leave a like, but yours was really good. The way you expressed your feelings and the interaction with each other was touching. Since they like this genre, I make a suggestion, from the film Arrival.
Dr. Mann is not an evil person. His survival instinct took over. We can agree that what he did was wrong, and in the grand scheme could have ended the human race, but it wasn’t with malicious intent. He’s not an evil person, he’s just a person who acted within his human nature. Just calling him evil doesn’t allow a more nuanced understanding of the psychology within a scenario like that; it’s the cheap way out so that we don’t have to contemplate our own potential for acting similarly.
We don’t think he’s evil. We even acknowledge that humans are complex. If he were evil, he wouldn’t have accepted the huge responsibility of the mission.
There is a good deal of evil in his choice to mutiny though. He may have deluded himself into believing his actions were to the benefit of mankind, but the carelessness with which he went about them goes to show it was about self preservation in the end, his colleagues lives be damned…there is evil in that.
Very few TRULY evil people exist. We like to believe most humans are and want to be good
@@MegMageReactsyou have to remember that he spent years resisting the urge to push the button, as he himself says, Cooper wasn't tested like he was, years alone, losing his sanity.
@MegMageReacts I think most humans "WANT" to be good and even try to be good. But I think all of us are inherently evil. Sorry to sound so morbid. I think most humans would do what Mann did.
Dr. Mann (Matt Daemon) wanted to steal their ship, dock with Endurance station (the round thing they attached to), go to Edmund's planet and populate it by bombarding the planet with fertilized eggs (use plan b to start a new humanity). He's not quite a villain, but he would leave Cooper and Amelia to die on his planet.
It never fails, every time Murph appears during that 23-year recap I just start crying. And in the end, when she says "Because my dad promised me." it's equally strong. I don't see how any movie is ever gonna top this.
My favorite Nolan film.
I RESPECT THAT!!
Same ❤️
Wow, I honestly didn't expect the mushroom talk at the end but it did resonate with me. Definitely earned a sub.
Fungi are ancient organisms, they literally turned the barren rock surface of the young earth into soil. Fungi are some of the fastest adaptive species I can think of. Almost all life on the surface came about because of the efforts of fungi throughout the earth's history. They are one of few organisms that actually creat ideal conditions not just for their own reproduction, but also the reproduction of species they pick and choose to cooperate with. Absolutely fascinating little creatures.
And now I’m even more obsessed with mushrooms…
Merv's change from int the beginning: 'don't go ... stay ' to in the end: 'go to Brand'...
That gets me every time. The wisdom that comes with age
46:05 He's fighting the centrifugal force that makes you blackout. He's barely holding on
53:45 took acid lots. always arrived at the same place, which is what you're describing. that and the fact that we are also all balancing on a spiritual and material tightrope over and endless void
Loved the reaction and your thoughts on the movie. It's one of the best films for me.
It’s one of our absolute favorites now, for sure! Thank you for watching with us 😊
Blows my mind no one picks up Matt Damon’s character being named Dr. MAN, as if the film is showing us the folly and evil of man kind through him. Don’t forget he was suppose to be “the best of us” as different characters repeat through out the film.
I love both of you guys’ perspective on the paranormal, life after death, past lives, etc. it’s very refreshing seeing people who think similarly to me and no, your not alone in thinking these things as I think and believe them too❤
46:10 When I heard that I literally said "WOW!", first time that was connected after seeing this movie so many times and reactions to it.
Each tick on Miller's planet is a day passing on earth.
Funniest thing you guy talking about space and religion Matthew McConaughey was in the movie contact where he is a religious guy that says he believes in life on other planets because if there isn't that's an awful waste of space
From the perspective expressed at the end of the movie, I think the movie "Contact" would be a good choice. It also has Matthew McConaughey, not the main actor, the main actor is Jodie Foster.
Dr. Mann: "I'm gonna dock!"
-"No, you're total idiot don't even think. And also it's very funny to see how you die."
Cooper: "I'm gonna dock!"
-Yess! You're super genius ultra brave man. And it's also very emotional how you are doing it. I am just crying right now.
On the water planet, Miller's planet, each tick of the clock sound you hear, represents the passage of Earth time. Each tick interval is 1.25 seconds. Every hour on Miller is about 7 years on Earth. There are 3,600 seconds in an hour (and 86,400 seconds in a day x 365.25 days in a year x 7 years on Earth per hour on Miller, or roughly 221,000,000 seconds in 7 years). This gives us a conversion factor of 221,000,000/3,600 ≈ 61,400 seconds which pass on Earth for every second spent on Miller. Multiply this by the interval between each tick, and you get 77,000 Earth seconds, about 21 hours. So, each tick you hear is a whole day passing on Earth.
First time to your channel, I'm in! You have a great chemistry and vibe. Fantastic reaction 🤩
Thank you!!! We’re glad you enjoyed :)
I remember watching instellar on my phone on a free website in school and my stomach dropping during the seeing he's watching the years of video messages from his son.
It’s such a beautifully gut wrenching scene
Yup, that scene "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
@@MegMageReacts During that scene, I was half-distracted while trying to eat a salad and half-consciously thought to myself "Why are my eyes watering and dripping down my nose?" lol
Fun fact when they get to miller's planet you can hear ticking for every tick you hear 1 day is passing on earth.
That is such a cool and anxiety-inducing detail
I don't understand people who say Nolan's movies are all emotionally cold movies that are otherwise great.
Especially coming out of Oppenheimer, this criticism is invalid.
Literally no one says that
A little late but man this has to be one of the best reactions out there. You guys onderstood the movie from the beginning, not only the plot bus what Nolan intended you to see and feel. You earned my sub :) * edit * only thing i would advise with these kind of movies is to get good headphones. The music, the silences, the overall quality of sounds adds very much to the experienceand simple in ear plugs won't do the job. Just a suggestion though :)
This reaction has brought so many things to my thoughts that I don't know where to begin.
When you said: what if we were placed as eggs on planet Earth, I thought the same (but at the end of the film).
The aircraft Cooper was remote controlling and the motif of letting go kind of goes hand in hand with what his son later tells him in the video.
Murph and Tars connection, specially in the docking scene.
Something that I have just thought of: the flat tire and the Endurance relationship.
It's too late in my country but it was such a cool thing to have seen and heard your brilliant thoughts and comments.
Have a great one!
Nice reaction you two! I like your idea of the afterlife being a recycling of the soul, basically reincarnation. If you haven’t seen it, “Cloud Atlas” is a deep complex movie that deals with reincarnation and how one’s actions have ripple consequences across time, from the 1800’s to the 2300’s, and each time period is connected with non linear story telling. It also has a theme of fighting slavery and injustice. Excellent movie. It was an adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell, and has a full cast and had a huge budget. It also has a beautiful, moving soundtrack.
Cloud Atlas is such a beautiful movie
There's a running joke about how much money we've spent rescuing Matt Damon.
Damn I figured I would never get old (by that I mean I would be able to keep up with lingo even as I got older like cappin )but I don't know what preventtifiedit isor helicopter parents
Yup, those scenes "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol.
Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
This film sits soundly as my number 5 on my top favorite movies of all time
when you started talking about LSD... lmao you got it 100% right especially w this movie
The TV show, "The Expanse" is one of the most scientifically accurate shows while this movie, "Interstellar", is the most scientifically accurate movie.
As an Arizonan it always cracks me up to see reactors so shocked by the haboob (sandstorm). I’ve had to wait for buses to/from work in these.
Dr. Mann kept finding ways to imagine himself of being capable of accomplishing many things and then he kept failing. He thought his planet would be THE next human planet and he'd be the hero of mankind. He thought he'd stay with Cooper while he died; but then got overwhelmed with the consequences of his own actions and gave up. He failed at going forward with the mission because of his own hubris. He was a villain, yes, but I kind of get how/why he went insane. He and the other 11 astronauts left Earth 10 years before Cooper & Brand. He had been alone on his plane for 34 years by the time Cooper, Brand, and Romly get to him. I mean, look what happened to America & other nations after the COVID lockdowns. That was only 3 months & we humans are SO undeniably more messed up than ever before.
The movie is based on an original concept by producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and is set around 2067. In the event horizon/center of the black hole is a tesseract; a 3 dimensional representation of our future 5 dimensional understanding of time. If Cooper travels “up” or “down” in the tesseract he is able to view different moments in the past and touch the items in each time to communicate with Murphy. Tom, Cooper’s son, had a baby while Cooper was in space, but the baby (Jesse) died early on and was buried out behind the house and later so was Grandpa. Tom died 20 years or so before Cooper made it out of the tesseract and to Saturn. More of the scientific details are in Kip’s book, “The Science of Interstellar”.
The crew's shuttle was being pulled into the spinning black hole that they had named, "Gargantua", and they had no fuel to fly/pull away from it.
Cooper first released the robot, T.A.R.S., into the spinning black hole wanting the robot to try and gather data while traveling through the black hole. This way, if the robot gets found by someone they can try to gather the data and use it.
To prevent Dr. Brand from dying Cooper then released Dr. Brand's shuttle at a specific time so that the spinning black hole's gravity would slingshot/swing her off towards the other planet that they did not have enough fuel to get to using the ship alone.
When Cooper's shuttle gets pulled into the spinning black hole it begins to fall apart because of the strong gravity, but because the black hole was spinning he did not get pulled apart like we would with a stationary black hole. He ejects himself from the shuttle, but quickly falls into a TESSERACT. The tesseract that the future "humans" placed in the black hole for him is a physical representation of a 4th dimension for humans of today to make sense of. The future humans that built the three dimensional bookcase in five dimensional space essentially pinpointed a specific coordinate in the universe that was important to Murphy (obviously she became the most famous figure of Earth’s exodus so they knew she was the key) and used that point to send Coop. They did not know at what point in time he was able to communicate everything of importance to her, so instead they gave him a “ladder” of time to glide through and find those points in time for himself. In this tesseract Cooper is only seeing different moments in time of his daughter's bookcase. He can go to a time when she's very young or older and try to communicate by pushing her books. At first, he doesn't realize that he needs to help her build the space stations that will eventually house the people from Earth. So, at first, he tries to communicate with her just like the 'ghost' was in the beginning of the movie and he fails to get her to make him stay. When he realizes that this is something he cannot change he realizes he can also communicate with T.A.R.S. He asks T.A.R.S. to take ALL gathered data from the black hole and the future humans and encode it into the movement of Murphy's watch's second hand. Using Morris Code T.A.R.S. is able to share the info with Murphy. The entire time Murphy is doing her work to build the space stations Cooper is in her book case working with T.A.R.S. He is still alive.
Doctor Brand found out that the man she loved had found a planet that humans can live on, but he had died in a landslide. This is why his beacon had stopped earlier in the movie.
Cooper was guided by his love, which was a theme of the movie and is the only force we can conceive across time and space. This movie is about love. Love for your children, love for your significant other, love for humanity, etc.
Had Coop allowed Dr. Brand (Anne Hathaway) to seek out Edmund in the beginning , they would’ve found their new home immediately. Her love was guiding her as well, and even though logically Matt Damon’s planet seemed like a better bet (due to his fake data), her love was pointing true. Side note: I do still blame her for everything going wrong from Miller’s planet though, lol.
Interstellar is the best movie that I have ever seen!
As simply as I can.
Our conscious experience of existence is the evolution of the conscious being who became us, everything.
This is the metaphysical nature of our existence. Conscious being.
Creator didn't just create our existence, it became it.
Disclosure.🤔
Great movie. I saw it twice in theatre and let me tell ya, the space scenes were amazing. I would argue space creating those feelings is due to the mind of its creator. Space, is one of the greatest examples of the existence of God in my opinion. The minuscule and finite balance of cosmic integrity and the information contained in it, as well as life in general, there is absolutely no other explanation or source of that other than an intelligent creator. In new to your channel. Big comic book reader and all things comic related, so i have been going through watching all your comic movie stuff and saw Interstellar so i had to watch it. As a father of three, the scenes with Murph always crush me no matter how many times i see them.
First of all I just want to give a shout out to Hans Zimmer for being the absolute best composer. He had been bringing heat his entire career.
But I wanted to say having seen a lot of Nolan's films in the theater this is the one that benefited from IMAX the most. Being in that theater with that massive screen during the shots in space and the silence....was insane.
And the scene with the waves omg. I literally looked from the bottom of the screen to the top with my jaw open.
Felt like a kid again.
Cinema. 📽️
CINEMA ❤️
Crazy but true, the black hole rendering of this movie helped give physicists a better understanding of black holes. Each frame of Gargantua took 100 hrs to render🖤
The scenes on Earth start in the 2070s and then shift to the 2090s when we see Murph all grown up.
ig that explains the AI tars robot and the futuristic tech and ships shown in the movie
Yeah, what blew my mind was when I was watching it with my Dad, and he told me John Lithgow's character must be part of my generation.
you are a genuine person, love u darling.
16:17 ... Wait, how did you know that old woman was Murph??? I thought they were pretty slick about that!
Edit: No way you predicted Cooper being the Ghost too oml
In the beginning when the documentary was being shown for the first time… the captions read: old Murph as the speaker. They gave it away.
I dont know what’s my favorite Nolan film. This or the dark knight rises. And I haven’t even seen Oppenheimer.
It’s so good!! We saw it last week. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
@@MegMageReactsI saw the movie, I enjoyed it a lot But the explicit sexual scenes bothered me because they were unnecessary, I also felt sorry for the actresses who did those scenes, I also don't understand why Nolan treats women that way, I hope you reply to the message and know your opinion please 🙏🏻
We have thoughts! A lot of thoughts on that movie, actually. Too much to share in a comment 😅 We might have to do a video debrief.
Quick version, we felt her character was owed more depth. I’m sure Nolan had a reason for those scenes, but they did feel somewhat agency-less
@@MegMageReactsI totally agree with you in your opinion 😉 I hope you also make a video giving your opinion on that topic, The actresses in the film deserved something more and not do those explicit sexual scenes that were really unnecessary and even uncomfortable 😅
@@Gonzalo_Almendrai didn’t see the film yet , i heard people thought it was unnecessary but she’s an actress , the scene is just an act . there’s a lot of films where actors and actresses have sexual scenes . they read the scripts before hand so she knew what would happen . she agreed to the part she’s just doing her job .
I saw this in IMAX high AF on edibles, one of the best experiences ever! Completely blown away, even though I was really high, I still vividly remember that experience. Excellent film! If you guys haven't seen it yet, I recommend Nolan's film Momento too. It's an interesting premise..... Welp, time to get lost in Interstellar piano covers on youtube again. All hail the algorithm!
"At least we know she lives, from the interview at the beginning." This is yet another reason I despise having captions on whilst watching a movie. They give away secrets, as well as distracting from the visual element of the film.
So watch now Gunbuster. It's quite similar. Maybe, it served as a reference for Nolan's interstellar.
Someone suggested to me that maybe Cooper died entering (or in) the black hole, fulfilling what Dr. Mann told him … that the last thing you will see before you die is your children. Everything after he left Dr. Brand was a dream as he was dying.
After many, many watchings, I still can’t decide what I believe … same with the end of Inception. At this point, Christopher Nolan has made 5 or 6 perfect or near perfect movies. It’s not even really debatable, he has cemented his legacy on the Mount Rushmore of great filmmakers. I’m glad I lived long enough to see his vision and artistic storytelling come to life.
Wow i just watched this last night. What a coincidence!
Sophie’s Law!
The movie was written by an astrophysicist so all the science is very accurate, I heard somewhere the most BS part is the fact it would actually take several million years for a blight to get that bad
You're getting emotional already? You gotta keep it together, the movie just started!!!! There's going to be plenty of time for tears, especially when thst Hans Zimmer score kicks in at those pivotal moments of the movie
Fortunately, there is no limit to our tears 😂
@MegMageReacts Thankfully, by the ending, tears of happiness, like mine, were.
Two scenes "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
@sathvamp1 There is another movie that hits me right in the heart muscle and I tear up every single time. It's a little Tom Cruise sci fi classic from the 2010's called Oblivion. The entire ending sequence up to the final scene and rnd credits is some of the most beautiful piece of film making I've ever scene. From Cruise's character narrating, to Morgan Freeman being there, that score by M83, Anthony Gonzales and Joseph Tranpanese just going in, and then Cruise's character comes back at the very end going "My name is main character, and I'm home". What the f*ck, movie??!! This whole thing was a fun little sci-fi action movie, this had no business putting so much heart into that final act, being that emotional. And this is every time I watch this movie, movies like Guardians 3 and Everything Everywhere All At Once, even Interstellar got me good in the feels my first viewing of it but that was only the first time, afterwards I can see it coming. But Oblivion, it's every watch, and it's made worse because my viewings are pretty spread out over the years so I'm sitting there watching this cool stylish action movie and then, oh wait, there's that final act again
@@nedzed3663 Thanks for sharing- that made THAT movie go RIGHT onto my list :) Guardians 3 is also on my list... based on certain thumbnails of some of my favorite reactors but I'm trying to put off watching theirs until I see it on my own, hehe. And YES It's even rarer for a movie to "get me" more than once. Only ONE movie has done that so far, relatively recently (a total of ELEVEN times in fact)... that one is "Nimona"!
Like the two of you, I'm not a Christian (I'm an agnostic Buddhist). We are Star Stuff. Every atom other than hydrogen was forged in the core of a star. When the Sun becomes a red giant, those who died will return to Star Stuff. It IS spiritual thing. This film is wonderful - and makes me cry a lot - just like Arrival and 2010 (HAL and Chandra).
DId you guys ever discuss oppenheimer on the channel or anything? Would love to hear your thoughts. It's my favorite nolan movie.
We haven’t, but that’s certainly something to think about!
This movie is definitely in my top 5
35:49 I can't help but find myself agreeing with Dr Mann. Usually, the "villain's" beliefs have been taught through harsh life experiences, while the hero's beliefs are based on idealistic morals. It's easy for us to say "there was still hope" from the comfort of our homes when we didn't spend *decades* of obsessive research on astrophysics
I’m glad you brought up Christianity, this movie actually doesn’t go against anything that they believe and reinforces many of the ideas. It was a great observation. I encourage people look deeper into the history because I found many of the statements that people make are wrong.
The scene I thought was most emotional was near the end… “No parent should have to watch their child die.” If you really want a sci-if to mess with your perception of reality you should watch Arrival with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner (if you haven’t seen it yet).
We loved Arrival! It’s been a while since we watched though, so it might be time for a revisit
Two scenes got me in this one... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
I'm confused. At the beginning of your reaction you seem to talking as if the reason our Earth is becoming inhabitable is only due to people ignoring some environmental laws. Would you even consider the fact that our Sun is constantly changing it's output over the course of it's life as being a possible cause?
Note - the Black Hole in this movie was once a Sun like ours. It eventually reached an age where it's ability to safely produce light and heat was reached. Then in it's final life (Billions of years usually) it collapsed upon itself and transformed into a Black Hole. Our Son will eventually reach that stage in its life and do the same thing. There is nothing we can do to stop that from happening, since no single planet orbiting around it could impact the situation, only feel the resulting solar system changes.
I love how the wave scene seem just a random but cool sci-fi thing but for physics connoisseurs it makes perfect sense : a planet this close to a black hole will experience huge tidal forces.
With such tidal forces, the planet's crust would also be torn up, I think.
Kip Thorne, the main scientific advisor for this movie told in a lecture, that the water-planet was a rogue planet captured by Gargantua. The rotational axis of the planet wasn't aligned with the ecliptic plane of Gargantua, so it began to "wobble", causing the oceans on the surface to "slosh around", which can cause these high and sharp waves. Tidal waves wold be much smoother and farther away from each other.
While this "sloshing" should balance itself out relatively quickly (on a cosmic scale), the close proximity of Gargantua (and the relativistic time dilation) means, that an outside viewer would see this playing out for much longer.
By the way, here is a link for the aforementioned lecture:
ua-cam.com/video/lM-N0tbwBB4/v-deo.html
A wave that size would travel 1000 mph
This movie, is a masterpiece 😢
22:28 That feeling is called the Numinous... I'd recommend listening to / reading Contact by Carl Sagan... that book has informed how I understand my spirituality and universal awe that I feel as an Agnostic myself.
This book has been on our shelf for YEARS. It’s definitely moving up the list. Thanks for the recommendation and information! That’s such a cool word…numinous
If you want to see Matt Damon in a different kind of role you can watch The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Departed. Both are really good movies.
Those roles are that different, though, in the sense that he's seen as the villain.
14:10 no, Nolan didn't write this movie. Kip Thorne, a Nobel Prize winner in astrophysics did - he came to Nolan and proposed the idea of the movie. Nolan added the "love transcends spacetime" idea and the plotline with daugher iirc. Thorne did write a book about science in Interstellar AFTER the movie came out, though.
Ohhhhhhhhhh! Good to know, thank you!
Several people wrote the screenplay.
The original premise for the film came from producer Linda Obst and Kip Thorne.
Christopher Nolan's brother, Jonathan, was then hired to write the screenplay (2007).
Jonathan Nolan came up with the Dust Bowl setting, where the Earth was depleted of resources.
Christopher Nolan came on as director in 2012. He retained Jonathan's ideas but rewrote the back half of the screenplay, which featured space travel and the black hole problem.
I don't think that means Thorne wrote the movie
Im not crying for the gazillion time😥
Dear Meg: The male planets are Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Mercury and Uranus are neuter. Moon, Venus, Neptune, and Pluto are female (though Pluto is related to Mars despite its Dark Mother feminine archetype).
Idk why a line as corny as “it’s not possible…no it’s necessary” hits so hard for me. Probably cuz at that moment I did think it was game over for the mission completely. This movie is my favourite movie. I can rewatch it over and over and still bawl my eyes out
I REALLY like that line of "not possible... it's necessary" because as a VERY determined person, I have heard SO many people say things like "it's impossible" when what they REALLY mean is "very difficult".
And on another note: There are two scenes in this movie that pulled tears from me... and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.
My only "repeater tearjerker" was actually "NImona" though (that one got me 11 times which is unheard of for me!)
Also, wanna shoutout to the cameraman for staying up 124 years to film this for us.
Now THAT’S determination!
When i watched this movie for the 2nd time, showing it to my gf, i pretended to fall asleep for everything past the black hole. We were not yet in a place in our relationship where she needed to see me in that kinda emotional state.
Since you’re on a sci-fi kick right now, may I suggest 1981’s Outland, starring Sean Connery? Also, your husband saying that he’d read the novel The Martian got an immediate like. 😁
I LOVE Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary blew my mind too! So freaking cool!
This is Caleb btw. I manage the channel too. Thanks for being here and for the suggestion!
@@MegMageReacts you mentioned early in this video that you haven’t watched all of Christopher Nolan’s films. Can’t wait to see your reactions to Insomnia, Following, Memento, and The Prestige. They’re all great movies that I think you both would like.
We’re very excited to get through them! We’re thinking the Prestige is the next Nolan film for us
Seeing this in IMAX is a core memory.
"seven years per hour here." "WWHAAATT???" How did you not hear him say that just six minutes earlier?
Right?! That’s what I said
