Probably the saddest part in the whole movie. Watching his son grow on videos, but never saw his daughter grow. I can't imagine the feeling of that. From a kid straight to an adult in just over a year.
At least he got to reunite with her and say their goodbye’s, seeing his daughter alive with a whole giant family made it all worth it and his daughter realized what her father did for her and the world. That scene was super emotional too, especially when she says because my dad promised me.
@@falkotlinghaus8967 yes you’re correct, also learned his dad died as well. That would be so brutal, seeing your son grow up in 1 minute and have a youre grandchild only to Learn the child died 30 seconds later. This would honestly be one of the most heartbreaking things ever, missed seeing his son and little girl grow up too
My favorite moment in this scene is when the monitor goes black and the music just stops. It gives you that few seconds of loneliness with the character. It might be a small thing to everyone else but for me that part is fascinating.
I watched this 1 year before my child was born without much impact on me other than thinking it was a great movie. I watch it again as a father and it kills me...Perspective hey 🥺
I'm not married nor have kids but whenever I watch these scenes I just imagine me being in the dads shoes and instantly get really emotional. Tf am I gonna be like when I actually have kids. Scary to think how much love a parent can have for their children
I know what you mean! I used to watch pixar movies and not feel anything. Now any movie I watch with my son, I'm fighting back welling up at the major points of the films.
One of the best actors in the business, his performances in Dallas buyers club and especially true detective are some of the greatest ever. He’s incredible in this movie but it’s not even his best performance.
It's a great performance, but honestly if you're a dad just picture this being your kids and being real and you can def bring the tears out of you. It's definitely a tearjerker moment
@@brodylockwood14 From his point of view, it's only been a few hours since they left Earth, taking into account the cryosleep during the journey to the wormhole and the time they spent on this planet. For him, it's been only hours.
i was 16 when this movie came out i saw it with my gf at the time we saw it high on weed we both cried together. one of the best films ive ever seen. im 24 now and man i wish i could go back in time to that event. i miss her. she was 2 years older than me when we broke up when, i was 21. i moved back to england and i hate my self for it. maybe thats why i connect to this film so much. regret. one of the worst emotions a human can experience but also a massive lesson. we all have to go through it to grow. i wish i was man enough to stay but i didnt. i took the easy way out and it cost me everything i know ones one reading this but i hope someone is so i can pass on a life lesson so u dont have to experience it . always listen to your elders cuz they know what they are talking about.
When he is hearing his son tell him about loosing his son as a baby..... crushing scene. Watching this movie again as a father it’s hard to stomach. There is a lot to take in, worthy of several viewings for sure.
What made that hard for me was the way Cooper reacted stronger to seeing Murph than hearing of Tom’s loss. To top it off, Murph’s message was just another slap to Coopers face for leaving her in the first place.
@@kayamerrick3907 I think the difference in reaction can partly be because Cooper never knew his grandson. I'm sure he loves him, even though he never knew him. But I'm also sure it's way more of a punch in the gut to see the people you left when they were kids - people you knew, who you helped form into who they eventually became even though you weren't physically there for it - become adults and grow older without you there, and struggling so much, unable to deal with their grief.
Murph's message kills me. This is an adult woman who's lived without her father for decades now. She tries so hard to put up a tough, strong front the way she has for most of her life, but at the end, it cracks, and deep inside she's still that little girl who just wants her dad back
In all honesty I would sacrifice anything to make sure my kids are ok and if that means missing them grow up so they can live a full life I’d do it without hesitation
You'll even sacrifice all your time with them to make sure they're safe? I can't imagine, I never had children, but that a tall order that no one wants for their children.
I love how at first he cries easily but when we see the scene with his son telling him that grandpa died and seeing his son devastated from the loss of his kid, he only drops some tear. It was the second time I watched it that I realised that there are many more videos we didnt watch that he probably saw and I suppose he cried so much that he only shed a few tears later. Fine detail there.
How did he not win an Oscar with this performance.. It gives me chills every time I watch this scene.. That's pure art not acting anymore... Edit: Woah.. Thanks for so many likes :D
I've studied the physics of black holes back in college so I understand time dilation as one approaches the speed of light. I didn't even stop to think how it would affect someone personally until I saw this movie and was like, "Damn. The magnitude of what Coop is embarking on really doesn't sink in until he sees 23 years of his kids' lives flash by in an instant." Such an existential scene.
@@STARZPLAYOfficial Fun fact: They hired a theoretical physicist who gave all equations of black hole to Nolan's VFX team. The VFX team fed all these equations and made an engine to generate black hole graphics. 2 research journals were published based on this (Nolan uses practical effects & when he uses VFX, it becomes scientific discovery- next level perfectionist!!). Anyways, this image of black hole matched the one captured by scientists for first time recently. That's how accurate it is.
Yes. For Matthew to have to convey how this would be, is on another level. There's the saying "You blink and they're all grown up." and then literally.
My family watched a movie in the theaters that I didn't want to watch, so I decided to watch Interstellar. I was just a teen at the time, and I sat next to a man I didn't know. He was in his 40's-50's. I really didn't think much of it, but I have a sense that he was a father in retrospect. When we get to this scene, I can see him crying in the corner of my eyes. I started crying too.
Matthew really rocked this scene. You can imagine losing a loved one. You can imagine being dump. You can can imagine many things, But trying to imagine "Being gone a couple hours on a planet and then having to watch your son grow up to be your age in a matter of minutes, and it being truly reality." You just cant fathom it.
The acting in this scene is AMAZING. Seeing your roll life pass in a simple video with all the sadness, happiness, excitement, regret and he still managed to give all the emotions👏👏👏👏
That transition from pride and happiness to pure sadness and realization he missed everything in a span of 7 seconds without a cut is the best acting I've seen in my life.
This is my idea of hell... having my family grow up without me, I see them, and NOT be able to communicate with them. I hope when we die, we don't see our loved ones continue to live.

@@matthewtaylor6533 how you been brother? im with you, hope youve been able to change things.. i miss mine also.. youre right, i no longer fear the devil, after dealing with my ex
This sequence is brilliant. It's like Nolan and the writers sat down on day one and asked the question, "How can we really convey the brutality of General Relativity to casual viewers?". So they decided to _show_ it by making the protagonist a family man, then having him do stuff near (and eventually in) a black hole. Sure they could have written a bunch of dialogue and exposition, explaining this to us verbally and all... but this is just a genius way to do it and the result was probably the most emotional damn movie I've ever seen
This scene makes me grateful I get to go home to my babies,Cooper you did what you thought was right and even though it’s just a movie,I personally respect your fight for your kids survival.
I didn't even really care for this movie all that much, but this scene is stamped in my memory as one of THE most emotional movie scenes I've ever seen. Also, I'm not a parent, but I imagine this scene is hard on parents whose kids are grown, because I'm sure this must be what it feels like to watch home movies. It seems like it was such a short time, and now they're grown.
Probably more heartbreaking than Titanic. I watched interstellar probably in 2016. By then, I had been suffering from a trauma for 6 years that made me detached from reality.. Severe brain damage. 6 years had passed me by and there was nothing I could do. I had no control on my mind and brain. This scene resonated with me. how 23 years just passed by for him in the blink of an eye and there was nothing he could do.. When I watched it in 2016 for first time, my own inner pain was tearing me apart because I felt powerless against my reality just like him
I had the same experience with Dr strange. Brain injury, ER visits, therapists, psych, not a second of relief. Not one. I decided to try (unsuccessfully) and accept things as they were. I went on a date with someone to see dr strange and when he lost his hands the way he lost himself was the same way I felt. You’d do literally anything to regain even just a moment of what you had. When he’s in therapy yelling at the therapist because he couldn’t possibly understand. I felt that. The insignificance of it all, how you can go from a completely normal existence to daily suffering without any reason or redemption. No path, no direction, no battle to win. Just reality, that sometimes you just can’t win back what was lost. I made a full recovery, and then 4 of the best years of my life followed when I realized how beautiful life is without daily suffering. Unfortunately a relapse last year took everything away, and I’m slowly recovering once again. I hope you find your way through, you’re not alone. As empty as those words are, just know that it is possible to regain what we lost. Never stop believing that.
The blank silence after his sons messages is sad. That whole emotional rollercoaster and all he has to go back to is the vast emptiness of soundless space.
This scene will for ever n always hit me to my soul n emotions 💔 it the weight on him after returning back and knowing that its been 27 years just unimaginably sad.
I come back to this from time to time and it never loses it's emotional impact. When Murph shows that for all those years, there still was that faint glimmer of hope, I'm a uncontrollably sobbing mess.
I watched this for 1:48 seconds having never seen the movie before and started crying. As a father I could not one bit imagine missing my childrens entire life.
I watched this movie as a teenager and i fell in love with it and today i just finished it with my 5 yr old son besides me and let me tell you when i watched this scene again i teared up and hugged em as hard as i could 🥺😭
I’ve watched movies from all over the world, all genres/categories/languages/cultures; but this movie is so close to my heart given the state of the world, and also the state of humanity.
Years pass as our loved ones who we haven't seen in ages continue about their lives, making friendships, experiencing their world. We feel like we'd betrayed them by leaving, a feeling that never quite goes away. Time continues to pass and we realize that these people who we've known since we were kids, are still the same people. Deep down inside, we were thinking about one another, connected by that which transcends space and time. Love.
Oscar deserving to say the least when you make the watcher feel the effortless emotion he carried in this film its beyond me and he will continue to be one of my favorites
this scene makes me cry everytime i watch it just think about your kids growing up over years and years and you can not be there. they are just living there life without you.
Man I rememebr watching this when I was 6, my parents took my cuz I loved space at that time(still do) and damn, I just didn’t say a word on the ride back. I was in shock it was too much for my 6 yr old brain to handle, and the next few days, I could do nothing other than think of this movie. I had so many of these existential thoughts in my head that I had never had before. This movie had a massive impact on my life.
This scene makes you aware that by not being here for your family - your children especially - you're missing so much. How lonely it is to see the world growing without you. I shed my tears during this scene!
My dad died 10 days ago, today i decided to watch a video i recorded it for my dad when his friend come to the hospital and meet him, the videos was 36 minutes have a fun conversation And bring back their memories .. i saw it and i Cry & laughed then these scenes comes to my mind . God help me
i feel the paint in his heart, watching his children grow up and have big incidents in their lives but he can not there to share it with them, can not comfort their paint.....amazing performance here
This is exactly how it feels to have moved away from my entire family at age 12. I visited them every year initially, but ticket prices are a pain. I haven’t seen them at all since 2017, and seeing my little sister grow up and family members get old as time flies by is immensely painful.
I come back to watch this scene and everytime I do i cry my life out with Cooper's grief. I lost my dad a while back. It hits home when murph says " It might be a really good time for you to come home" knowing that he won't.
Don't know why this scene makes me want to rewatch it on a regular basis. It's so sad but it's insanely well acted. By everyone but MMc bats it out of the park
Watched this for 4 times and I still felt the same emotions since the 1st time I watched it. Pure magnificence and art were put into this movie. It will make you question your purpose here on earth and if there are things more important than human existence that are unknown to humankind.
In the time it took him to watch those video messages, his son had his first relationship, entered young adulthood with her and fathered a child, suffered through the loss of his child, and then later his partner/wife, then the loss of the man who had essentially become his adopted father, his grandfather. Cooper watched all of this unfold unable to comfort, console, or hold his son. And then at the last moment, when he's at his lowest, he's confronted by his daughter who feels abandoned and traumatised by his absence. This scene hits so damn hard, and McConaughey did it such justice.
If you have ever been away from people you care about for a long time and you wonder every day if they are ok... then imagine having the opportunity to catch up and this scene describes it perfectly
McConaughey has the ability to grace us with David Wooderson, but he turned around years later and gave us Dr. Cooper in one of the most dramatic moments in cinematic history. This entire movie, the soundtrack, the actors. It is all just perfect.
Imagine being father, leaving your beloved family which hates you for leaving but you did it for saving them. And missing their whole life, their hapiness, their sorrow, cant help them mourn... Just a couple of videos of them being in pain, losing hope in you... And you cant them tell it will be ok, that they are always in your mind, in your dreams, and that you will save them and that you love them with all your heart and you will do anything for them just to be safe. Damn this rips my heart as a father to my little son.
Big part of the film is that time is not linear as we humans think of it. Imagine the universe is a sphere like earth. If you take off on a plane and fly west you will eventually arrive back at your starting point. If the universe / space-time is also a sphere... then there is no beginning or end, all moments are equal, and it might be possible to warp space-time to alter whatever moment you choose. That being the case, the future can be the past or the past the future to someone thinking linearly. Those thinking nonlinear... well there is only now (the present).
It's not that time was "altered" so much as it was a loop. The area Coop found himself in that looked like bookshelves was actually a construct by beings to whom time was non-linear. The beings were speculated to be humans from the far future. Since time was non-linear there, Coop could be in both his present as well as his past at the same time. Essentially, Murphy was always inspired to save humanity, because Coop always sent her the message.
@@orionorion9468 That is only correct when thinking of gravity induced time "travel". It's more akin to manipulation, since you never skip any time, it just gets slowed down relative to what you're comparing it to. Earth in this case. Brand mentions time may be a mountain the future-humans can climb up or a valley they can climb down, showing they are not in a time frame relative to anything, not even in time itself. And if they can break the space part of space-time with the wormhole, it's a safe assumption that they can break the time part as well. Imagine dots scattered on paper, a 2-D environment, with wet ink. If you fold the paper the right way, then press this now 3-D object onto a specific part of the 2-D paper. Let the ink from the dots bleed, then unfold the paper. Now all the information from the dots are close together, but the dots themselves are where they always were. That is similar to what they do with the tesseract for Cooper. They folded time (4-D), since they can manipulate how they see fit, and presented it in a way Cooper can manipulate ("flattened" it into 3-D). The only information that travels back in time (like the ink that bled) is the gravitational waves Cooper makes by interacting with the string-like objects. He never technically time travels.
I can't even begin to imagine the roller-coaster of raw emotions that's going through Cooper's mind during this scene. First, we get to see Cooper smile as a proud father who's son has finished school, and right after that he breaks down into tears when Tom reveals that he's found the love of his life. Cooper finds out he's grandpa, and, of course, whishes to meet his grandson in person, but he smiles and waves at the screen, filled with happiness. Tom reveals that one of Cooper's closest friends has passed away, along with his own grandson. On top of that, Tom believe that Cooper is dead and have to let go. Tom has given up on Cooper, and as a final message, Cooper gets to hear more about how much Murph hates him, and on top of that, remind him of the promise he once gave, but couldn't keep. This is probably my greatest fear to become a father, not being able to watch my own child(ren) grow up. This scene will go down as one of the greatest and saddest scenes of all time. One of my absolute favorite scenes and movies.
The most Lovecrafthian scene in cinema history. It shows you how little human life matters in the infinite expanse of the universe. In a blink of an eye a life starts and comes to an end. Frightful and magnificent at the same time.
This is one of the most emotional scenes in cinematic history
Nah, not really.

So they decided to _show_ it by making the protagonist a family man, then having him do stuff near (and eventually in) a black hole. Sure they could have written a bunch of dialogue and exposition, explaining this to us verbally and all... but this is just a genius way to do it and the result was probably the most emotional damn movie I've ever seen
As a father of small kids, my heart tears a part every time I watch this scene. Feels like I got trapped into a black hole during the scene.
This scene makes me grateful I get to go home to my babies,Cooper you did what you thought was right and even though it’s just a movie,I personally respect your fight for your kids survival.
I didn't even really care for this movie all that much, but this scene is stamped in my memory as one of THE most emotional movie scenes I've ever seen.
Also, I'm not a parent, but I imagine this scene is hard on parents whose kids are grown, because I'm sure this must be what it feels like to watch home movies. It seems like it was such a short time, and now they're grown.
Probably more heartbreaking than Titanic. I watched interstellar probably in 2016. By then, I had been suffering from a trauma for 6 years that made me detached from reality.. Severe brain damage. 6 years had passed me by and there was nothing I could do. I had no control on my mind and brain. This scene resonated with me. how 23 years just passed by for him in the blink of an eye and there was nothing he could do.. When I watched it in 2016 for first time, my own inner pain was tearing me apart because I felt powerless against my reality just like him
Sorry to hear that, brother
I hope you are ok and doing well
I had the same experience with Dr strange. Brain injury, ER visits, therapists, psych, not a second of relief. Not one.
I decided to try (unsuccessfully) and accept things as they were. I went on a date with someone to see dr strange and when he lost his hands the way he lost himself was the same way I felt. You’d do literally anything to regain even just a moment of what you had. When he’s in therapy yelling at the therapist because he couldn’t possibly understand. I felt that. The insignificance of it all, how you can go from a completely normal existence to daily suffering without any reason or redemption. No path, no direction, no battle to win. Just reality, that sometimes you just can’t win back what was lost.
I made a full recovery, and then 4 of the best years of my life followed when I realized how beautiful life is without daily suffering. Unfortunately a relapse last year took everything away, and I’m slowly recovering once again.
I hope you find your way through, you’re not alone. As empty as those words are, just know that it is possible to regain what we lost. Never stop believing that.
Omg i also had a brain injury and finally someone was able to put it into words. It's so confusing and heartbreaking.
Any of you who have kids knows how heart breaking this is!
I've never had kids, but I lost a younger sibling and it resonates with me knowing I'll never see her again.
@@screechingsergal5012 I'm sorry for your loss. May we all meet again.
@@screechingsergal5012 my condolences brother.
No kids but just the tragedy behind this scene makes me tear up every time.
I would’ve never left. The earth would just be doomed. I would never leave my family like that and deal with the heart break
Usually i cannot recall a single scene from the movie i watched after a month or so. But this scene wIll stay with me forever.
👍
Literally one of the best movies ever made..
That be so hard what seemed like only minutes for them was like century’s for the people back home
Eh, close enough lmao
@@mattpresley9809 lol
Yeah 23 years but still.
I guess I am getting old or what ever, but I honestly don't understand what "That be so hard what seemed like only minutes" means....
The blank silence after his sons messages is sad. That whole emotional rollercoaster and all he has to go back to is the vast emptiness of soundless space.
∞ respect to Matthew McConaughey for this scene. Deserved an Oscar. Pure art.
Emotion is also one of the dimension, and it is the strongest one,
Oh my god, this is easily one of the most heartbreaking scenes in film history.
Cooper: 23 years have gone
Time: Always has been
Pew
Lol I am just imagining how cooper have passed this year's it would be a lot boring
This scene will for ever n always hit me to my soul n emotions 💔 it the weight on him after returning back and knowing that its been 27 years just unimaginably sad.
I come back to this from time to time and it never loses it's emotional impact. When Murph shows that for all those years, there still was that faint glimmer of hope, I'm a uncontrollably sobbing mess.
I watched this for 1:48 seconds having never seen the movie before and started crying. As a father I could not one bit imagine missing my childrens entire life.
You need to watch the movie lol
Go watch it, you're missing out
Probably the most important scene of the movie IMO
I watched this movie as a teenager and i fell in love with it and today i just finished it with my 5 yr old son besides me and let me tell you when i watched this scene again i teared up and hugged em as hard as i could 🥺😭
ill probably revisit this in 10 years then cos im 21
Hans absolutely killed it with this scene, between that and mcconaughey its just so immensely powerful
😊
I’ve watched movies from all over the world, all genres/categories/languages/cultures; but this movie is so close to my heart given the state of the world, and also the state of humanity.
😊
Interstellar showed me how time glides really fast. It also showed me to value the presence of my loved ones. This movie is deep!
The music, the art, the scene... everything is so beautiful
Cannot watch this part without crying. It’s unbelievable to think about all he has to feel and go thru in just a few minutes.
Years pass as our loved ones who we haven't seen in ages continue about their lives, making friendships, experiencing their world. We feel like we'd betrayed them by leaving, a feeling that never quite goes away. Time continues to pass and we realize that these people who we've known since we were kids, are still the same people. Deep down inside, we were thinking about one another, connected by that which transcends space and time. Love.
watching this on my lunch break was a bad idea.
I laughed so hard 😂😂😂
هذا الأداء يستحق الاوسكار فعلاً أبكانا وأثر فينا ♥
لا استطيع التوقف عن البكاء عند النظر لهذا المشهد المهيب العظيم هذا ليس بتمثيل هذا ابداع حقا يستحق كل الجوائز
😊
Gets me everytime 😢. Great movie
I never had so much tears running by watching a movie ever. From time to time I come back to repeat and feel myself...
Oscar deserving to say the least when you make the watcher feel the effortless emotion he carried in this film its beyond me and he will continue to be one of my favorites
Honest to god!!
Truly a beautiful, heartwrenching scene. Kudos to the entire team involved
this scene makes me cry everytime i watch it
just think about your kids growing up over years and years and you can not be there. they are just living there life without you.
This is cinematic history for being one of the most emotional scenes not just for Mathew, but the audience..
Man I rememebr watching this when I was 6, my parents took my cuz I loved space at that time(still do) and damn, I just didn’t say a word on the ride back. I was in shock it was too much for my 6 yr old brain to handle, and the next few days, I could do nothing other than think of this movie. I had so many of these existential thoughts in my head that I had never had before. This movie had a massive impact on my life.
Everytime I cannot cry I just come and see this scene to make tears come out. As simple as that.
Imagine time flying by like that right before your eyes. Matthew acted so well in this scene. Brings me to tears every time.
This scene makes you aware that by not being here for your family - your children especially - you're missing so much. How lonely it is to see the world growing without you. I shed my tears during this scene!
Christopher Nolan movies are excellent, but this right here is a master piece!
My dad died 10 days ago, today i decided to watch a video i recorded it for my dad when his friend come to the hospital and meet him, the videos was 36 minutes have a fun conversation And bring back their memories .. i saw it and i Cry & laughed then these scenes comes to my mind .
God help me
i feel the paint in his heart, watching his children grow up and have big incidents in their lives but he can not there to share it with them, can not comfort their paint.....amazing performance here
This is exactly how it feels to have moved away from my entire family at age 12. I visited them every year initially, but ticket prices are a pain. I haven’t seen them at all since 2017, and seeing my little sister grow up and family members get old as time flies by is immensely painful.
Never thought I would cry during a movie about space exploration, but when this scene played, it absolutely broke me😢
I come back to watch this scene and everytime I do i cry my life out with Cooper's grief. I lost my dad a while back. It hits home when murph says " It might be a really good time for you to come home" knowing that he won't.
انا بكيت معه اكثر شيء من هو يبكي وتتكلم ابنته وهو ينظر لها ،
فلم قمة الروعه والعلم والجمال والقرب من الحقيقية 💫💫💫
Watching your children grow up in front of you and not being a part of the exprience is so heartbreaking to witness💔
Don't know why this scene makes me want to rewatch it on a regular basis. It's so sad but it's insanely well acted. By everyone but MMc bats it out of the park
The last scene was the moment when the audience cried with them too❤
Watched this for 4 times and I still felt the same emotions since the 1st time I watched it. Pure magnificence and art were put into this movie. It will make you question your purpose here on earth and if there are things more important than human existence that are unknown to humankind.
Man, what a rollercoaster of emotions. I can still remember this moment when I watched it on big screen.
In the time it took him to watch those video messages, his son had his first relationship, entered young adulthood with her and fathered a child, suffered through the loss of his child, and then later his partner/wife, then the loss of the man who had essentially become his adopted father, his grandfather. Cooper watched all of this unfold unable to comfort, console, or hold his son. And then at the last moment, when he's at his lowest, he's confronted by his daughter who feels abandoned and traumatised by his absence. This scene hits so damn hard, and McConaughey did it such justice.
If you have ever been away from people you care about for a long time and you wonder every day if they are ok... then imagine having the opportunity to catch up and this scene describes it perfectly
This is really tearing me apart...
Lisa is that you?
Damn
@@polor89 oh hi Mark
McConaughey has the ability to grace us with David Wooderson, but he turned around years later and gave us Dr. Cooper in one of the most dramatic moments in cinematic history. This entire movie, the soundtrack, the actors. It is all just perfect.
Matthew McConaughey's acting here is outstanding.
The most emotional scene in history 👏
23 years.
Alone.
Just.... mindboggling. That's 2/3 of my life.
Those darn ninjas cutting onions again...
I know so annoying
Truly a masterpiece...still makes me tear up
Imagine being father, leaving your beloved family which hates you for leaving but you did it for saving them. And missing their whole life, their hapiness, their sorrow, cant help them mourn... Just a couple of videos of them being in pain, losing hope in you... And you cant them tell it will be ok, that they are always in your mind, in your dreams, and that you will save them and that you love them with all your heart and you will do anything for them just to be safe. Damn this rips my heart as a father to my little son.
here is a question for you: if Murphy as a child begins to hear "ghost noises", books falling, and all that, when exactly did the time got altered? :)
Big part of the film is that time is not linear as we humans think of it. Imagine the universe is a sphere like earth. If you take off on a plane and fly west you will eventually arrive back at your starting point. If the universe / space-time is also a sphere... then there is no beginning or end, all moments are equal, and it might be possible to warp space-time to alter whatever moment you choose. That being the case, the future can be the past or the past the future to someone thinking linearly. Those thinking nonlinear... well there is only now (the present).
@@Micloren exactly u can time travel but not to the past . But only to the future. Good exp though . 👍
It's a bootstrap paradox.
It's not that time was "altered" so much as it was a loop. The area Coop found himself in that looked like bookshelves was actually a construct by beings to whom time was non-linear. The beings were speculated to be humans from the far future. Since time was non-linear there, Coop could be in both his present as well as his past at the same time. Essentially, Murphy was always inspired to save humanity, because Coop always sent her the message.
@@orionorion9468 That is only correct when thinking of gravity induced time "travel". It's more akin to manipulation, since you never skip any time, it just gets slowed down relative to what you're comparing it to. Earth in this case. Brand mentions time may be a mountain the future-humans can climb up or a valley they can climb down, showing they are not in a time frame relative to anything, not even in time itself. And if they can break the space part of space-time with the wormhole, it's a safe assumption that they can break the time part as well. Imagine dots scattered on paper, a 2-D environment, with wet ink. If you fold the paper the right way, then press this now 3-D object onto a specific part of the 2-D paper. Let the ink from the dots bleed, then unfold the paper. Now all the information from the dots are close together, but the dots themselves are where they always were. That is similar to what they do with the tesseract for Cooper. They folded time (4-D), since they can manipulate how they see fit, and presented it in a way Cooper can manipulate ("flattened" it into 3-D). The only information that travels back in time (like the ink that bled) is the gravitational waves Cooper makes by interacting with the string-like objects. He never technically time travels.
I can't even begin to imagine the roller-coaster of raw emotions that's going through Cooper's mind during this scene.
First, we get to see Cooper smile as a proud father who's son has finished school, and right after that he breaks down into tears when Tom reveals that he's found the love of his life.
Cooper finds out he's grandpa, and, of course, whishes to meet his grandson in person, but he smiles and waves at the screen, filled with happiness.
Tom reveals that one of Cooper's closest friends has passed away, along with his own grandson. On top of that, Tom believe that Cooper is dead and have to let go.
Tom has given up on Cooper, and as a final message, Cooper gets to hear more about how much Murph hates him, and on top of that, remind him of the promise he once gave, but couldn't keep.
This is probably my greatest fear to become a father, not being able to watch my own child(ren) grow up. This scene will go down as one of the greatest and saddest scenes of all time. One of my absolute favorite scenes and movies.
Casey afleck is a legendary actor who deserves recognition
This is one of the best scene in one of the best movies of all time
I've been using this scene for over 7 years now as an eyeball cleaner. 100% would recommend, works every time.
Makes me cry everytime. Life is way to short and one understands way to late
I never seen any actor getting emotional like this, it’s like very real and awesome 👏
I like how you can see Tom go from hopeful teenager to the early days of the depressed, bitter man he became in the space of minutes.
No words, just 😭😭
no words can describe the greatness of this movie
2021 a New Start with the World Healing with this movie and background music - ALL TIME FAVOURITE!!! TEERS & GOOSEBUMPS!
The most Lovecrafthian scene in cinema history. It shows you how little human life matters in the infinite expanse of the universe. In a blink of an eye a life starts and comes to an end. Frightful and magnificent at the same time.
كلما اشوف المشهد ابكي جدا الفليم اكث رائع إبداع في السينما فعلا راح اترك رسالتي ويمكن راح أجيال وتجي تقراه أو لا كل اخرتنا تحت التراب
It never gets less emotional.
No matter how many times I watch it it still hits every time :(
