fun fact, Hans Zimmer actually didn't put it on the first soundtrack release (after the premiere) and had to pull up vol.2 directly after because people bought the soundtrack for exactly that track xD Zimmer said, he thought that piece was nothing special and would bore the people, that's why he left it out. xD
The funny thing is, the second piece of music that comes to mind is the Joker theme from The Dark Knight (at least, the intro to it).... which was also scored by Zimmer, lol. Dude knows how to build tension in his music.
"Because my dad promised me." Instant tears every time. Also, no matter when I see it or how many time I have seen it already, the "years of messages" scene gets me every damn time, especially if you remember that Coop lost a grandson in a matter of seconds.
I watched this in IMAX w/ my 14 y/o when it came out, it was a real movie/popcorn experience (lightening in a bottle for fathers and daughters watching this).
As a diehard Christopher Nolan fan, I was smiling ear to ear seeing Asia breaking the ending down so well to BJ after watching it for the first time. So many people say you have to watch his movies 2 or 3 times to fully grasp his film's storylines.
I was thinking more like 'did the daughter figure it out' and that's why they were able to create a stable new home in another planet. 🤔🤷♀️ That's how she knew where Anne Hathaway was and told her dad to go there.
@@mrlahey9234 No the daughter didn't make the wormhole or tesseract. When Brand landed and set up the colony, she sent a signal back to Earth through the wormhole to tell NASA that she was successful. The same way that NASA learned about the 4 planets to begin with. When the Lazarus people landed they send a signal and hibernate for time to pass. The wormhole was faster than the blackhole for the signal so Brands signal reached Murph before Cooper returned. People seem to miss that part.
That's not a rumor, that's just a fact. Jobs was a businessman, not an inventor. He pitched the invention as an idea after it was created.@@YouOnlyIiveTwice
Asia is so hilarious, she is doing none of the stuff needed in this movie to save the world. No rockets, no wrist watch, no spin gravity, no warm water hybernation, no worm hole, none of it. I guess we all die on Asia's watch. HA
The black hole was actually the closest we can get to of what a black hole would actually look like. This movie has a lot of credit for using tru physics in a movie. Even how the outside view of the ship it's always silent like it would be in real life
Hans Zimmer nailed it with the score to this movie. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live take it, it's an experience you'll never forget.
“Rage against the dying of the light” I’m not into poetry, but this one is a fav. It’s about not accepting death. Rage against dying. Fight till your last moment against death, against the dying of the light.
@@haileydigiamarino707 I might be in the minority here, but I feel like when people say they don't like poetry it just means they haven't seen the right poems. School seems to ruin it for most people, poetry units are so dry and academic. The best poetry is for the soul. A personal favorite of mine is "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar. I find myself quoting to myself it on days I have to deal with a lot of people and I'm not really feeling it.
@@riolkin I struggled in school a lot as a kid and I didn’t have the best teachers so I definitely agree with you. I probably would love poetry if I explored it more because I love music not saying it’s the same, but I’ve always connected with words that are deep and meaningful. Do you have any suggestions on poetry? (:
@@riolkin I have a different take. Peotry doesn't do it for me, i'm a musician. Music that allows me space to choose my own riffs and play around with in my head is the best. I do enjoy books, I enjoy TV. With books I often wander in the world, not actually reading, TV doesn't give the space during, but certainly after you can wander the world, be each character etc. I assume peotry is so powerful to those who get it because it allows even more space for you to wander the world created. I also think comic books do the same for those who enjoy those. But for me, it is music where I wander the most.
Fun Fact: on the water/wave planet (1st one) the ticking/droplet sound that passes every second or so represents a WHOLE DAY passing back on earth. Kinda mind blowing but thats relatively folks!! lol
BJ's "astrophycism" is the perfect new word to describe this movie. It's like astrophysics with a little dollop of mysticism. And that combination makes it amazing! Glad you enjoyed it.
The 3d representation of time is called a tesseract. The best way I've read to explain it is to imagine it as a book. In a book you can open to any page and read what is happening in the story at that moment. Earlier pages go back in time, later pages are more recent. The tesseract allowed Cooper to access every past second in Murph"s room, and he could use gravity to cross time and communicate.
This is one of the greatest movies made after the year 2000, this movie explained the Time-Space equation, Quantum physics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and Time Travel in a better way than any other book, in my opinion. Loved your reaction !!!!
Long comment because i absolutely love this movie, here goes: Edmund's planet was where Cooper told her they had enough fuel to barely make. And everything was on the endurance. The embryos and equipment plus the original explorers had their own camp, like Mann's. The tesseract is where the future humans made Murphys infinite rooms, because Coopers connection with her was quantifiable. It was something that could actually be measured and used. And he didn't exactly go back in time, he was just in a window of sorts. With gravity being the only tool able to cross through time. Which is what he used to write the coordinates to nasa and the data from within the black hole that was needed to reconcile the equation. In simple terms, the theory is that knowing the full equation of something, gives you the ability to manipulate it. Once she figured out gravity she was able to manipulate it to get the giant space stations full of people off of earth. AND they even had a new planet waiting for them, at edmunds. It's kind of a "what came first the chicken or the egg" problem at the end, since the data she needed wouldn't have been possible without humans in the future being able to manipulate it to get cooper and the original explorers to the new galaxy and into and out of the tesseract. And they would'nt be able to do that, if she hadn't figured out in the present time how to manipulate gravity. It's a loop paradox. And the end had Brand at camp with the embryos, not knowing what happened with humanity, as the endurance was their communication device and it barely got her where she needed to go. So she probably had set some embryos, and was, like old murph says, about to settle down for the long nap. Probably set a timer for 9 months because there would be no point in her using resources she didn't need to. The audience just has to imagine cooper and tars arrive and wake her up early, and she would be completely confused since she thought he was dead and tars destroyed, to explain that they did it and the rest of humanity is on their way.
🤔 Pretty good explanation... The room is supposed to be a representation of the multi dimensions. Whether that be just the fourth dimension or a series of dimensions that spans beyond time and space.🤓
@@nicebluejay If you notice, Cooper said "STAY" and "Don't let me leave Murph" because he was not able understand the "Tesseract". Afterwards, TARS connected to Cooper and made him understand the "Tesseract" that's when Cooper asked for the coordinated for NASA in Binary and went to the moment in the room when the dust was coming in from the window. Hope this explains.
The way I cry every time Murph runs out the door as her dad is driving away. People say Nolan’s movies aren’t great at emotionally hooking you but Interstellar emotionally kicked the sh*t out of me
I love the symbolism of Dr. Mann being the best of us and also by name representing "mankind". And his story involves getting in a fist fight on an alien planet, in another solar system lol. The ONLY four human beings in that entire galaxy and two of them got into a fist fight. Comedy taken to another level there.
Okay, to explain what happened in the Tesseract as simply as I can, follow this thought exercise: First take a pencil (or imagine you're doing this) and make a dot on a sheet of paper. There are no dimensions to this dot. It does not have height, width, or depth to it. It's just a dot on a page (which scientists call a point in space). If you make a second dot and draw a line connecting the two, you have a one-dimensional drawing. It now has length (more commonly called height in a drawing with more dimensions). Make some more dots and lines to draw a square. Now you have a two-dimensional drawing. It has both height and width. Now draw some more dots and lines to make a cube. This is a three-dimensional drawing. It has height, width, and depth. These are the three axes of space in which we physically exist. However, we do not exist solely in space, but also in time. Time is considered a fourth dimension. It gives our lives shape through the ability to change our position in space in a way that a dot, line, square, or cube alone cannot. We're not just drawings on a page. We're animate objects because we exist in time. (Btw, this is also how cartoon films worked prior to the invention of CGI - drawings on a page that change slightly to advance their movement over time.) We humans only experience time in one direction, though, going forward through it. This is because we exist within it. If we existed outside of it (in a fifth dimension), we could see all points of time at the same time, in the same way we can see all of a dot, line, square, or cube drawn on a piece of paper at the same time. None of it is hidden from us now because we exist in a dimension higher than those three dimensions. If we could see all of time at the same time, it would be like each moment is a page in a book and we could flip to any page and see that moment fully at will. We could travel forwards or backwards in time as easily as flipping the pages of a book. Scientists speculate that we see ourselves as 4-dimensional beings, but that we are actually 5-dimensional beings. The fifth dimension is information. We have consciousness (awareness), and that is integral to who we are beyond our physical bodies and time. We simply have a perception problem where we're not seeing reality as it really is for us. We currently are failing to see our existence from that higher plane of being, the fifth dimension. This is because we have not acquired sufficient information yet to shift our perspective. The movie has Cooper (McConaughey) enter the Tesseract, a device that allows people to communicate over vast distances using gravity. Gravity distorts time in space, meaning we can use gravity to travel forwards or backwards in time with equal ease. Cooper realizes while in there that it is humanity who figured out how to perceive our reality from the fifth dimension by building the Tesseract (and likely other stuff prior to its construction), and he is able to use it to communicate with Murph through time and space. Humanity is no longer seeing time as a forward-only directional dimension; we can see all sides of time at the same time because we're now able to look at it from our true nature as 5th dimensional beings. It's a bit like standing on land, you can only see so far. If you climb a hill, adding the dimension of height, you can see much farther. Our perspective changes with the use of different dimensions. Right now we lack the knowledge to perceive our reality from the fifth dimension, but over time scientists believe we will gain that perspective and be able to "see" time from a new point of view. How? Well, the movie Arrival (with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner) tackles the idea of how we as humans might stop perceiving time as linear, and instead see all of it at the same time. It's a fantastic movie, every bit as mind-blowing as Interstellar. I highly recommend you see it soon (you know, after you've re-watched Interstellar 5-6 times first). ;) Lol I hope this explanation helps! Loved your reactions to it!!😊❤
Asia getting tense for the docking scene and the wave scene just shows how important music can be to a movie. I never used to notice the music in movies but would still get the tense feeling without realizing why. Hans zimmer is genuinely incredible and the music he made for this movie is half the reason why it’s so loved to this day whether people even realize it or not
Hi guys, hope this helps: The time difference described in the movie in simple terms is this: Einstein used complex math to come up with his Theory of Relativity, one of the implications of which says that the faster an object goes, time as experienced by that object slows, relative to other objects that are going slower. There are other parts of the Theory as well that don't relate as closely to the plot of the movie, like how as speed increases and time slows, the mass of the object also increases. Also how the speed of light is the universal constant ('c'), being the upper limit of speed at which Einstein said anything can move. Also how the basic equation of his Theory of Relativity (the amount of energy in an object is equal to its mass times the speed of light squared, or in notation, the well-known E = mc^2). But the time dilation implication of the Theory of Relativity is enough to grasp to understand the movie's plot elements.
I don't really watch much modern cinema. A friend was visiting from afar and as they were leaving, they told me I had to see Interstellar ASAP. I rented it on YT at 1am the same night. Not realising how long it was or knowing anything about it. What an adventure. Dawn came just after I finished and I just stared at the sky for ages. You can never forget this film! ❤️
Now that your guys have reacted to 4 Christopher Nolan movies (Batman begins, dark knight , dark knight rises, now interstellar) it’s time to check another masterpiece written and directed by him called INCEPTION.
@@samanthanickson6478Love that movie. Haven't watched that in years. Im gonna have to go rewatch that. I low key forgot about that movie. Such a great film.
To understand the bookshelf, the main thing to understand is its time represented in a physical manner. It's humans who unlocked the demension of time in order to to save themselves. It's called a tesseract. Everything including the blackhole was put In that spot by future humans to help past humans make it to their next habitable planet, which is where Anne's character ended up. When they were traveling through the blackhole after passing saturn, Cooper touched hands with her which is why she said it felt like someone was shaking her hand, Coopers future self shook her hand as their past selves traveled through the blackhole. All of it was by humans by unlocking the dimension of time. And because they discovered how to do so, Cooper did, it gave him unlimited tries and time to warn Murphy about the plan and to help her solve the equation that lead to her saving humanity. That's why he could use Morris code through the watch and why if you look at the watch when he was doing so, it showed thick lines traveling vertically. Because through all of time, through an infinite number of realities, he could manipulate the watch hands. He was his future self warning his past self and also helping murphy.
Time moves differently in higher or lower gravity, compared to other different higher or lower gravity areas. Time and space are connected, and gravity warps it. great reaction, love this movie
Zimmer said he composed the soundtrack for organ because when comparing it to other instruments of the orchestra, with the piano being the most recent, and IT with it's inherent complexity, the organ is ten orders of magnitude more complex, while being much earlier than the piano. it was so complex at the time, that sitting down to play it would be like sitting on the cockpit of a starship.
This is a masterpiece of a movie, to have the brain power to think of this as a concept and make it into a visual movie is truly amazing! Cried like the 1st time i watched it all over again 😢
The amazing this about Chris Nolan's writing is the level of emotional intelligence he assumes the audience has. ------ We all know Copper loves his daughter. But Nolan's writing show how Copper takes specific actions to care for and protect Murph. ------ When he says, "The first thing you learn about being a parent, is making sure your child is safe and protected. That includes not telling a ten year old girl, that the world is coming to an end." --------- In this exchange of dialogue Nolan is showing how Cooper specifically loves and care for Murph in ways too deep to comprehend. -------- In ways so deep that he would travel the universe to save his daughter and the rest of humanity.
The foreshadowing in the early part of the film was amazing. Murphy: "I thought you were the ghost." Cooper: "No. There are no such things as ghosts, babe." Cooper: "I just don't think your bookshelf's trying to talk to you." Ms. Hanley: ".... we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it." Cooper: "I can't be your ghost right now. I need to exist."
Young Murph's first line "I thought you were the ghost." 🙂 I love Dr. Mann's character. Touted as "the best of us," but he shows exactly why Plan A was critical, placing his own survival before that of the human race. Also, the fact that Hans Zimmer didn't win an award for this music is, by far, the biggest oversight in awards history.
I was already a Nolan fan when I saw this in the theater. It knocked me on my butt. The docking scene is one of the all-time greatest movie scenes. Movie critics would say his films lacked emotion but the good ones are all about love. You guys should check out INCEPTION if you haven't seen it yet. 🙏🏼💗
I always pictured a 5th dimentional pov as looking at film cells lined up like dominoes. Each film cell contains our 3 dimensions and represents a single moment in time. Looking through all of the cells at the same time would show you the 4th dimension from a 5th dimensional pov. Some shots of the bookshelf scene represent it really well. P.s. Asia was right. Edmonds planet had breathable air and when Coop left for the black hole, she went on to set up shop with Edmonds. He probs died of old age before she got there.
Edmunds died of a rock slide, it was confirmed in extra material, and you can see in the film that his grave is a bunch of rocks that are crashed over his freezer, showing the landslide that killed him. He was dead when his site stopped pinging, 3 years before they went came through the wormhole, so about 1 year before Cooper and Brand left Earth.
This is such a powerful beautiful movie I can't imagine going somewhere two minutes but it really be 20 yrs!! I feel like that when we lose someone close to us time literally stops and before we know it it's been 20 years
You asked that someone explain in the comments so please allow me to give it a try in a way I think would help: Coopers daughter noticed something in the bedroom and decided to call it a "ghost". That ghost gave the daughter coordinates to the NASA hidden base. Later in the film, cooper was inside the "3d box" and in that moment, he realized that he was the one that made things happen in his daughters bedroom which caused her to think there was a ghost. So he asked his robot friend who was somewhere else in the 3d box to please give him the coordinates to the hidden NASA base so he can use the 3d box to give that info to his daughter. He also then asked the robot to give him the information readings from inside the black hole. The information that the scientists back home knew they needed in order to get their giant tube shaped hidden base off the ground and into space. (Too big and heavy for rockets, they needed to learn how to "turn off gravity" and make it float). Those scientists assumed that they would never get that info because no one could ever go into a black hole. Coopers black hole adventure was not part of the original plans. But since they were in this black hole and somehow still survived, and also inside a weird magical 3d box, cooper asked for the info and also asked the robot to give it to him in moors code so he could translate that through the watch. Cooper and his young daughter originally only noticed the gravity marks on the floor that forced the dust to make a barcode that had the coordinates to NASA, but they never noticed the watch moving. That watch just kept moving for years and years until the daughter finally came back at her later age to notice it, translate the code of the jumping hand on that watch, and learn how to turn off gravity. But remember the moment I mentioned when cooper looked around inside the 3d box and realized that he was the one who created "ghost events" for his daughter in that room? Well, sometime in the far away future, human beings discovered how to make that 3d box, and in that moment, they realized that they are the ones who helped cooper with a 3d box and a wormhole. You can think of the 3d box as a piece of paper that can be seen by you and also by a man in the year 1855. If you draw a circle on the paper, then that man will see a circle appearing on the paper, like a ghost is making it happen. If that man from 1855 draws a square on the paper, you will start to see a square appearing on the paper in front of you on your coffee table. Again like a ghost. So this piece of paper exists across time, for everyone from all points in time to see simultaneously. Someone from years ago who lived in that house before you would see that piece of paper and witness a circle appearing and then a square appearing and think their house is haunted by ghosts and then move out... So that you can later move in and then start a UA-cam channel. This piece of paper is gravity. In real life, gravity is the only thing that exists across time the way that piece of paper does.
So in the beginning when all of the machinery/tractors/drone were malfunctioning, that was TARS in the tesseract trying to communicate with the past Cooper (since TARS entered the black hole a few moments before Cooper did). The tesseract itself was created by higher beings, but like he said in the movie, they couldn't locate a specific place in time to essentially give the humans the information needed to survive. In order to us to reach that higher state, Murph was the one who could solve the equation of gravity for survival, but she couldn't do it without the vital information that TARS had collected when entering Gargantuan. TARS had the data but didn't know how to relay the information, so Cooper was essentially the bridge to get TARS information to Murph, and the tesseract (and wormhole) were placed in order for that to happen, and once he succeeded, the tesseract had no more purpose in which it was closed.
When he sacrificed himself and gave the rest of the ship the necessary energy to travel on, he set Brand on a trajectory for Edmund's world. So Brand landed on Edmund's and because that world is orbiting the black hole gravitational relativity makes time pass a lot slower on that world (and of course in the space she is traversing to get there), like on the other planet; some amount of hours for Brand are days on Earth. So from Brand's point of view she just landed there and set up camp, preparing to launch plan B and grow a whole lot of new colonists. So he left to join her in that endeavor. Because time passes so slowly close to the black hole he will manage to reach Brand in reasonable time from his and her point of view, even if another century may pass back on Earth. (However, they did fumble with the time delay when they visited the planet with the huge tidal waves caused by the black hole. A ship orbiting that world would of course have almost the same time dilation as on the surface of that world. Though yes, tons of time would have passed back on Earth, the guy on the ship shouldn't have aged 20+ years more than them.)
I don't know why, but I've been at UA-cam addict for like probably 15 years now and subscribe to hundreds of channels and you guys have just become my new favorite. I just appreciate the simplicity the honesty you're just good people. I'm also really appreciative that you do a variety of movies that interest me That's probably a big draw too. Everything from Harry Potter to haunted stuff, if I may recommend my favorite movie of all time it's actually free on UA-cam called the storm of the century but I don't know if it would be great to review because it's 4 hours long and it can be kind of slow lol but just a thought. It was originally a three-part TV series from Stephen King in 1999 during a winter storm on Valentine's Day.
This movie and The Martian was released around the same time, both have Matt Damon and Jessica Chestain in them, and are both amazing human vs space movies.
Hey Asia and BJ, the 5th dimentional space that Cooper fell into was created by a future version of Cooper. ------ Basically it's a device that lays out time in a linear format so a person could find any point thoughout time. ----- Cooper set it up based around his daughter Murphy's childhood bedroom because that is what dad Cooper can remember via the emotional attachment he has to his daughter. -------- Dad Cooper yes that info about the linear time layout to pass info back to Murphy when she was a child in hopes that she would find it when she was ready to understand it, hopefully as an adult. ----- Some next level concepts for sure, and Chris Nolan is a master at conveying such ideas.
The concept is you have to think like this, you sit down to watch a Christopher Nolan movie, about 3 hours, you engage with it and enjoy it. Then when it ends, you get up and everyone else experienced 23 years. It's not thinking about the time you lost, it's that you have a hard time dealing with you experiencing time different then everyone else. If they were stuck for a day on that planet that's 184 years on Earth. A week, that's then becomes 1,288 years on Earth. Stranded for a year, that's 66,976 years. Crazy stats to comprehend, you live a year on that planet and go to Earth which has seen about 3,300 generation live and die.
Brand went to edmunds because it was what they agreed on, she was supposed to go to Edmunds planet to see if it’s habitable while cooper ended up going into the black hole. Turned out she was correct and edmunds planet had breathable air (hence her taking off the helmet), so once cooper arrives to her they’ll be able to send out a signal that tells the entire colony to come to that planet and human beings can start anew.
Epic movies deserve epic reactions💪 People in the future had advanced so far they were unable to pick a specific point in time to send a message back so needed Cooper to enter the tesseract they made to pick a point in time where he could send the data required to leave earth(gravity). Brant was indeed at the other site and Cooper steals a craft at the end to go get her. Obviously the structures built by her boyfriend were left behind on the planet where he died which is what you see at the end.
This is a tricky movie to follow because they go deep into real physics. Time dilation and the bending of light via intense gravity, other dimensions beyond the 3 we live in and so on. At the end you may find yourself saying "what just happened?", but you will still enjoy it.
Special relativity is mind bending. Learning to accept that time isn't consistent is hard to come to. I loved this movie so much when I first saw it, when they showed the depiction of the worm hole entrance I was amazed that they showed it as it would likely appear to us. Our understanding of physics is so close to banging rocks together that it's humbling.
This is one of my favorite movies ever made. I saw it in the theatre and the whole scene with Matt Damon fighting Cooper up through the docking was the most intense movie experience I've ever felt. The music by Hans Zimmer is next level in this one too. Thank for reviewing!!!!
One of the best movies ever. Could not believe what I saw watching it the first time....watched it again the next day...and many times since. Every time it does a number on me. What a great movie. Makes you think and ponder, it's exciting and has you on your seat without over the top action, hits you in the feels. And then the music....one of those examples where both movie and music even lift each other....perfect unison! MASTERPIECE!
It’s a Chris Nolan Movie. He goes deep in research and thought for his films. That’s why I love his movies. There are other planets out there that should support life by having oxygen out there too. I don’t think we’re the only ones. This was an outstanding movie.
It's a bloody brilliant movie isn't it! - best Sci-fi in recent years! : you definitely have to have your head screwed on to keep up with it all (after a few viewings)! Also have to say an absolutely amazing & atmospheric soundtrack too - hats off to Hanz Zimmer & his awesome work on this film!
Simple explanation for a complex question... Time Dilation, where the faster you move the slower time moves for you relative to everything else, has been proven. First you must understand that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. If I am in a car traveling 50mph and I throw a ball to someone standing in the road at 30mph, to me the ball is traveling 30mph but to the person in the road it is traveling at 80mph, this is what we call relative speed. If I am in that same car traveling 50mph and I turn on the headlights, that light is not traveling at the speed of light plus 50mph to the observer in the road since nothing travels faster than the speed of light. This means that the speed of light does not change, the time has to change. A black hole is a point in space that has so much gravitational pull that light can't escape it, so the closer you get to a black hole the more time dilation you experience. Wormholes and the bending of space time is only theoretical. The 5th dimension inside a black hole is fantasy.
It's called "Time Dilation". Maybe others have already commented on this but the equation is Δt' = Δt * sqrt(1 - 2GM / (rc²)). To simplify that; time is relative to speed & gravity of an object. We constantly need to update our gps satelites in orbit because they're travelling faster in time.
Hey guys loving the channel and the reactions! Just some friendly feedback, I imagine its hard to decide what to edit out for yt but try to avoid big jumps of time and character building like the parent reacher conference in the beginning. Scenes like that help us gauge you as you start to see the characters and story unfold. All the best, looking forward to more!
The tesseract where he gave his daughter the equations, was a place where time was not linear. All things in time don't happen there one after the other like they do for us, they happen all at once. The future humans were so advanced (millions of years past us) that they could make such a place and do so so Cooper could help his daughter save humanity. Arthur C. Clarke once said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Think of us going back in time and showing a smartphone to someone from 3,000 years ago. The tech of the future human was so advanced it seems almost like magic to us. He was in a place where he could see any moment in time. So when he left that place he was even further in time. Brand went to the other world that was to be humanity's new home. Edmonds had set up there but died at some point. By the time she got to the other world, Edmonds was dead because she and Cooper lost 27 years on the water world that was so close to the black hole and they passed close to the black hole again when he "left himself behind" which caused even more time to pass. So Edmonds probably died of old age but before he did he had time to set up the initial colony. Murphy was smart enough to know that because of their time close to a black hole, everyone else Brand and Cooper knew would long dead and so they were the only ones left from their generation. Time dilation and black holes mess with your head. In the end, Cooper was going to be with Brand because love and fate put them together. The message I get from the film is that for all our science and tech, including the super tech of the advanced humans from the far future, love transcends time and space.
Yes I'm so glad you guys are doing this today! It's such a great movie, and I currently feel like I am on an alien planet, I live in the desert where we are currently having a tropical f****** hurricane LOL! Hopefully I have internet long enough to watch this with y'all😹💕✌⛈
Hey Asia and BJ. I know family means the world to you. -------- "Interstellar" takes you on a journey so profound it makes you rethink the ties you have with your family. It makes you ponder to what lengths one would go to in fulfilling a promise to your loved one, especially a child. --------- I believe this is why the movie and its theme of parental love and sacrifice resonate with you so deeply. -------- Great, amazing, heartfelt reaction. You won me over with this one.
Unsure if anyone has mentioned, the interviews from early on in the movie, mentioning the dust, farming, etc, are from an excellent documentary by Ken Burns, covering the Dust Bowl. He has many other excellent ones, Baseball, The Prohibition, The Civil War, amongst others... Not necessarily a reaction suggestion, they are multiple hour long series, but perhaps something for you 2 to watch in your free time. Thanks for the reaction...
About the 1 day equals 7 years thingy. Simplified and partially wrong, but should be good and easy enough to get the general gist: We all move with the same overall speed through spacetime (186k miles(300k km)/sec). The faster we move through space, the slower we move through time and vice versa. Gravity accelerates us towards it's mass center. So even if you feel like you are standing still and that nothing is happening, technically you are actually moving towards the center (it's just that your movement is being hindered by the matter you are standing on, but that's a different, uh, matter). Of course, the greater the gravity, the faster you "move" through space. And, see above, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. It's the same for our satelites by the way. Their time ticks faster then our time on earth, so their time has to be translated into our landrat time in order for us to be synchronized with (h)ours. Due to the enormous gravitational pull, time one Miller's planet moved much slower than for the poor guy waiting in orbit. And even slower for those on earth. Hope that helps. :)
I haven't seen the movie, so I hope I get an "alright, alright, alright..." and "That's what I love about Space Academy, I get older, but the aliens stay the same age."
The crazy part is the water planet...... Every tick is a year, the guy who they came to find had JUST gotten there and died minutes before they landed.....from the wave before they landed. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes. Theoretically, when you hit the speed of light time stops for you. So you leave earth and hit the speed of light in 10 minute amd travel for a month at that speed then come back to earth and everyone on earth has aged decades. Also the closer you get to an intense gravity well(a black hole) the more time slows for you. So technically a photon sees the entire life span of the universe.
What throws me off is Murph, and Coop got the coordinates for NASA from "the ghost". Why would Coop give them the coordinates that would lead to disaster?
The three-dimensional world in the center of the black hole is a physical representation of the flowing of time. It was a creation specifically made for a human to interact with. Like a hammer or a screwdriver, once the tools use became complete, it collapsed in on itself and Cooper was teleported back via the wormhole around Saturn to be discovered.
Shortcut: conclusion of this essay to be found under the **************, further down. (Technically, time is not the 4th dimension; but to be understood here, let's pretend it is.) A thing in the 0-ish dimension: A DOT. A thing in the 1st dimension: A LINE; the dot has now Things in the 2nd dimension: FLAT FIGURES (like a square), made out of lines; are the two bros here Things in the 3rd dimension: SPACIAL FIGURES (like a cube), seemingly made out of 1D/2D elements; are the ruling trio. Things in the 4th dimension: 3D plus 5th dimension: Apparently, if you live 'there', you can, uh, move 1D/2D/3D/4D stuff. Kinda. So: - The 1st dimension can be explained/understood by 0D elements that were lengthened to become lines. - The 2nd dimension can be explained/understood by combining 1D elements in a specific way. - The 3rd dimension can be explained/understood by combining 2D elements in a specific way. Right? Each "next" higher dimension can always be explained (= as in: taught to be understood) by using elements from the "previous" dimensions. We all think in 3D since that is our world. It's difficult for us to think in 4D. Time is part of our lives, sure, but it is not part of our space. That's not how we perceive it. But in 4D, that's how it would be. ************** So, how can a 5D humanity offer Cooper a 4D tool for sending messages through time that he would understand quickly enough? By making it look like 3D! The bookshelves are a 3D representation of time. Each bookshelf-space shown is a window through which Cooper could see and interact with one specific past.
Ok, The closer to a Black hole the slower time will pass. We have already done this experiment on earth. 2 atomic clocks set to same time then one sent to outer space for a while then brought back. The times were different! has to do with gravity and how it Bends space /time.
There is so much to unpack in this movie, and it's a credit to you (and to everyone out there who loves this movie) that you want to ask questions after you're done watching. Some movies just leave you asking questions. Having a curious mind, ready with questions - that is a great thing... better than thinking you know it all.
The music is so beautiful and it is visually stunning! One of my favorite movies and lets not talk about the thought and research on the time and space side..
What I like about these reactions is seeing the different of people's personalities , Most reactors You can tell only living in the immediate moment not imaginative of the future & possibilities it's noticeable in sci-fi movies when people are surprised at simple concepts that's a trope in every Sci fi book / film ... and also low ability to think ahead in the plot ... but I guess this is why they are all good reactors because ie : if your thinking, your not reacting If I was to do a reaction. Basically, I'd be thinking about the solutions for every problem & asking big meaningful questions and disregarding the people aspect of the story
They were spinning to create centrifugal force on the "ring" part of the ship so that it would pull them to the "floor". Basically a way of creating artificial gravity while in orbit. That way they wouldn't have to worry as much about loss of muscle mass and osteoporosis.
The docking scene may be the most perfect use of music in any movie...ever...
Come on TARS!!
Or the clock ticking music also on water planet
fun fact, Hans Zimmer actually didn't put it on the first soundtrack release (after the premiere) and had to pull up vol.2 directly after because people bought the soundtrack for exactly that track xD
Zimmer said, he thought that piece was nothing special and would bore the people, that's why he left it out. xD
The view looking down from the top with the planet in the background needed to be 5 seconds longer.
The funny thing is, the second piece of music that comes to mind is the Joker theme from The Dark Knight (at least, the intro to it).... which was also scored by Zimmer, lol. Dude knows how to build tension in his music.
How y'all made it thru this movie without crying is crazy! I swear, I can't get thru it without crying at least 5 times.
I always lose it when he's holding his elderly daughters hand near the end and the music kicks in.
They didn't cry during Shawshank or Green Mile, they are immune to movie feels.
Same and ive watched it many times.
I didn’t cry either. In fact, I’ve never cried at a movie ever. Is there something wrong with me?
@@Harkness78and titanic too. Lol.
"Because my dad promised me."
Instant tears every time.
Also, no matter when I see it or how many time I have seen it already, the "years of messages" scene gets me every damn time, especially if you remember that Coop lost a grandson in a matter of seconds.
I watched this in IMAX w/ my 14 y/o when it came out, it was a real movie/popcorn experience (lightening in a bottle for fathers and daughters watching this).
first time ive cried over a movie and it was in the theater
@@ViktorRadoslavov I did too when watching w/ my daughter, we actually started having coffee and breakfast more.
@@THEvagabond29 I'm so jealous. I wish they would do a limited IMAX run. I missed it and this is the kind of movie IMAX was made for.
Same. No matter how many times I watch this movie I’m silently crying every time
So damn powerful
As a diehard Christopher Nolan fan, I was smiling ear to ear seeing Asia breaking the ending down so well to BJ after watching it for the first time. So many people say you have to watch his movies 2 or 3 times to fully grasp his film's storylines.
Yeah, I've seen it so many times and thought about it so much, it's easy for forget how baffling it was the first time through.
Yeah, I was impressed. She picked up on a lot of things I didn't.
I was thinking more like 'did the daughter figure it out' and that's why they were able to create a stable new home in another planet. 🤔🤷♀️ That's how she knew where Anne Hathaway was and told her dad to go there.
@@yolandahernandez4130 his daughter made the worm hole and the tesseract for her dad? Mind blown
@@mrlahey9234 No the daughter didn't make the wormhole or tesseract. When Brand landed and set up the colony, she sent a signal back to Earth through the wormhole to tell NASA that she was successful. The same way that NASA learned about the 4 planets to begin with. When the Lazarus people landed they send a signal and hibernate for time to pass. The wormhole was faster than the blackhole for the signal so Brands signal reached Murph before Cooper returned. People seem to miss that part.
I love how Asia's solutions are "you better find someone else, I ain't doing all that!"... Never change! Just hilarious
She would be the safest person in any crisis. There’s so many things she won’t do 😂
Rumor has it that was pretty much the extent of Steve Jobs' contribution to the team that created the first iPhone.
That's not a rumor, that's just a fact. Jobs was a businessman, not an inventor. He pitched the invention as an idea after it was created.@@YouOnlyIiveTwice
Yes lol. I'm sticking with her if I am ever stuck in a horror movie. We would survive 100% lol
Asia is so hilarious, she is doing none of the stuff needed in this movie to save the world. No rockets, no wrist watch, no spin gravity, no warm water hybernation, no worm hole, none of it. I guess we all die on Asia's watch. HA
IKR? Asia like I will go out to help if the flight is no longer than 2 hours ........ lol
I mean they went through a wormhole, had to manually hook to the space station, and then traverse through a black hole.
She will save the world by raising a man like Cooper.
@@x_mau9355 no doubt. I give her some slack, cause moist of us would shit in our pants dealing with stuff in this movie.
@lethaldose2000 We won't die on Asia's watch, because....
No wrist watch. ;)
The black hole was actually the closest we can get to of what a black hole would actually look like. This movie has a lot of credit for using tru physics in a movie. Even how the outside view of the ship it's always silent like it would be in real life
Hans Zimmer nailed it with the score to this movie. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live take it, it's an experience you'll never forget.
“Rage against the dying of the light”
I’m not into poetry, but this one is a fav. It’s about not accepting death. Rage against dying. Fight till your last moment against death, against the dying of the light.
I'm not really into poetry either, but both of my favorite movies (Last Samurai, Interstellar) have such profound poems. (:
@@haileydigiamarino707 I might be in the minority here, but I feel like when people say they don't like poetry it just means they haven't seen the right poems. School seems to ruin it for most people, poetry units are so dry and academic. The best poetry is for the soul. A personal favorite of mine is "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar. I find myself quoting to myself it on days I have to deal with a lot of people and I'm not really feeling it.
@@riolkin I struggled in school a lot as a kid and I didn’t have the best teachers so I definitely agree with you. I probably would love poetry if I explored it more because I love music not saying it’s the same, but I’ve always connected with words that are deep and meaningful. Do you have any suggestions on poetry? (:
@@riolkin I have a different take. Peotry doesn't do it for me, i'm a musician. Music that allows me space to choose my own riffs and play around with in my head is the best.
I do enjoy books, I enjoy TV. With books I often wander in the world, not actually reading, TV doesn't give the space during, but certainly after you can wander the world, be each character etc.
I assume peotry is so powerful to those who get it because it allows even more space for you to wander the world created.
I also think comic books do the same for those who enjoy those.
But for me, it is music where I wander the most.
Fun Fact: on the water/wave planet (1st one) the ticking/droplet sound that passes every second or so represents a WHOLE DAY passing back on earth. Kinda mind blowing but thats relatively folks!! lol
a whole week
@@ViktorRadoslavov It's a day. If a week passed every 1.25 seconds or so, it'd be more like 55 years/hour.
Seeing this in theaters was wild!
"Because my dad promised me." Gets my tears going every gosh darn time.
The docking scene is still the greatest demonstration of physics in a movie. The second best, Matt Damon going out that airlock!
And iirc, an astronaut actually had to do that once. 😬
Second best scene with Matt Damon. First being when he gets revenge upon in Team America
Matt Damon
BJ's "astrophycism" is the perfect new word to describe this movie. It's like astrophysics with a little dollop of mysticism. And that combination makes it amazing! Glad you enjoyed it.
It is absolutely perfect. I'm using it to describe this movie from now on!
you forgot the music.
The 3d representation of time is called a tesseract. The best way I've read to explain it is to imagine it as a book.
In a book you can open to any page and read what is happening in the story at that moment. Earlier pages go back in time, later pages are more recent.
The tesseract allowed Cooper to access every past second in Murph"s room, and he could use gravity to cross time and communicate.
Great explanation! As long as the book itself is linear in time.
Or in another way, like scrubbing around this youtube video
This is one of the greatest movies made after the year 2000, this movie explained the Time-Space equation, Quantum physics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and Time Travel in a better way than any other book, in my opinion. Loved your reaction !!!!
I love that TARS and CASE had such different personalities. Such likable metal boxes.
I left the theater in love with TARS. 🥰
I always find robots so cute. I have a problem 😂
I want one of my own lol
The scene where they realize they aren't mountains, they're *waves* is insane to me
Long comment because i absolutely love this movie, here goes: Edmund's planet was where Cooper told her they had enough fuel to barely make. And everything was on the endurance. The embryos and equipment plus the original explorers had their own camp, like Mann's. The tesseract is where the future humans made Murphys infinite rooms, because Coopers connection with her was quantifiable. It was something that could actually be measured and used. And he didn't exactly go back in time, he was just in a window of sorts. With gravity being the only tool able to cross through time. Which is what he used to write the coordinates to nasa and the data from within the black hole that was needed to reconcile the equation. In simple terms, the theory is that knowing the full equation of something, gives you the ability to manipulate it. Once she figured out gravity she was able to manipulate it to get the giant space stations full of people off of earth. AND they even had a new planet waiting for them, at edmunds. It's kind of a "what came first the chicken or the egg" problem at the end, since the data she needed wouldn't have been possible without humans in the future being able to manipulate it to get cooper and the original explorers to the new galaxy and into and out of the tesseract. And they would'nt be able to do that, if she hadn't figured out in the present time how to manipulate gravity. It's a loop paradox. And the end had Brand at camp with the embryos, not knowing what happened with humanity, as the endurance was their communication device and it barely got her where she needed to go. So she probably had set some embryos, and was, like old murph says, about to settle down for the long nap. Probably set a timer for 9 months because there would be no point in her using resources she didn't need to. The audience just has to imagine cooper and tars arrive and wake her up early, and she would be completely confused since she thought he was dead and tars destroyed, to explain that they did it and the rest of humanity is on their way.
Best commentary on the movie I've read since 2014! Thank you.
🤔 Pretty good explanation... The room is supposed to be a representation of the multi dimensions. Whether that be just the fourth dimension or a series of dimensions that spans beyond time and space.🤓
but why would he "send" the coordinates of nasa in the first place?
@@nicebluejay If you notice, Cooper said "STAY" and "Don't let me leave Murph" because he was not able understand the "Tesseract". Afterwards, TARS connected to Cooper and made him understand the "Tesseract" that's when Cooper asked for the coordinated for NASA in Binary and went to the moment in the room when the dust was coming in from the window. Hope this explains.
The fact that Brand took her helmet off shows that Edmunds planet can support human life. There's oxygen. If they had just gone with his planet!!
Except they never would have saved the earth that way, so it worked out in the end
The way I cry every time Murph runs out the door as her dad is driving away. People say Nolan’s movies aren’t great at emotionally hooking you but Interstellar emotionally kicked the sh*t out of me
I love the symbolism of Dr. Mann being the best of us and also by name representing "mankind". And his story involves getting in a fist fight on an alien planet, in another solar system lol. The ONLY four human beings in that entire galaxy and two of them got into a fist fight. Comedy taken to another level there.
Okay, to explain what happened in the Tesseract as simply as I can, follow this thought exercise:
First take a pencil (or imagine you're doing this) and make a dot on a sheet of paper. There are no dimensions to this dot. It does not have height, width, or depth to it. It's just a dot on a page (which scientists call a point in space).
If you make a second dot and draw a line connecting the two, you have a one-dimensional drawing. It now has length (more commonly called height in a drawing with more dimensions).
Make some more dots and lines to draw a square. Now you have a two-dimensional drawing. It has both height and width.
Now draw some more dots and lines to make a cube. This is a three-dimensional drawing. It has height, width, and depth. These are the three axes of space in which we physically exist.
However, we do not exist solely in space, but also in time. Time is considered a fourth dimension. It gives our lives shape through the ability to change our position in space in a way that a dot, line, square, or cube alone cannot. We're not just drawings on a page. We're animate objects because we exist in time. (Btw, this is also how cartoon films worked prior to the invention of CGI - drawings on a page that change slightly to advance their movement over time.)
We humans only experience time in one direction, though, going forward through it. This is because we exist within it. If we existed outside of it (in a fifth dimension), we could see all points of time at the same time, in the same way we can see all of a dot, line, square, or cube drawn on a piece of paper at the same time. None of it is hidden from us now because we exist in a dimension higher than those three dimensions.
If we could see all of time at the same time, it would be like each moment is a page in a book and we could flip to any page and see that moment fully at will. We could travel forwards or backwards in time as easily as flipping the pages of a book.
Scientists speculate that we see ourselves as 4-dimensional beings, but that we are actually 5-dimensional beings. The fifth dimension is information. We have consciousness (awareness), and that is integral to who we are beyond our physical bodies and time. We simply have a perception problem where we're not seeing reality as it really is for us. We currently are failing to see our existence from that higher plane of being, the fifth dimension. This is because we have not acquired sufficient information yet to shift our perspective.
The movie has Cooper (McConaughey) enter the Tesseract, a device that allows people to communicate over vast distances using gravity. Gravity distorts time in space, meaning we can use gravity to travel forwards or backwards in time with equal ease. Cooper realizes while in there that it is humanity who figured out how to perceive our reality from the fifth dimension by building the Tesseract (and likely other stuff prior to its construction), and he is able to use it to communicate with Murph through time and space. Humanity is no longer seeing time as a forward-only directional dimension; we can see all sides of time at the same time because we're now able to look at it from our true nature as 5th dimensional beings.
It's a bit like standing on land, you can only see so far. If you climb a hill, adding the dimension of height, you can see much farther. Our perspective changes with the use of different dimensions. Right now we lack the knowledge to perceive our reality from the fifth dimension, but over time scientists believe we will gain that perspective and be able to "see" time from a new point of view.
How? Well, the movie Arrival (with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner) tackles the idea of how we as humans might stop perceiving time as linear, and instead see all of it at the same time. It's a fantastic movie, every bit as mind-blowing as Interstellar. I highly recommend you see it soon (you know, after you've re-watched Interstellar 5-6 times first). ;) Lol
I hope this explanation helps! Loved your reactions to it!!😊❤
Holy moly! Your comment is absolutely brilliant! ❤❤❤
@@silviawardsly3061 Thanks! :)
Asia getting tense for the docking scene and the wave scene just shows how important music can be to a movie. I never used to notice the music in movies but would still get the tense feeling without realizing why. Hans zimmer is genuinely incredible and the music he made for this movie is half the reason why it’s so loved to this day whether people even realize it or not
it's funny cuz the soundtrack on this one is not very complicated and 90% organ lol, there is a great doc on youtube about it.
Hi guys, hope this helps: The time difference described in the movie in simple terms is this: Einstein used complex math to come up with his Theory of Relativity, one of the implications of which says that the faster an object goes, time as experienced by that object slows, relative to other objects that are going slower.
There are other parts of the Theory as well that don't relate as closely to the plot of the movie, like how as speed increases and time slows, the mass of the object also increases. Also how the speed of light is the universal constant ('c'), being the upper limit of speed at which Einstein said anything can move. Also how the basic equation of his Theory of Relativity (the amount of energy in an object is equal to its mass times the speed of light squared, or in notation, the well-known E = mc^2).
But the time dilation implication of the Theory of Relativity is enough to grasp to understand the movie's plot elements.
I don't really watch much modern cinema. A friend was visiting from afar and as they were leaving, they told me I had to see Interstellar ASAP. I rented it on YT at 1am the same night. Not realising how long it was or knowing anything about it.
What an adventure. Dawn came just after I finished and I just stared at the sky for ages.
You can never forget this film! ❤️
I love this haha ! It’s one of those that saves the movie industry I can’t lie
If you rented it at 1am, down would still be off before the film finished.
@tiffaniterris2886 Dawn is around 3-4am in the UK during Summer. But thanks Sherlock.
Now that your guys have reacted to 4 Christopher Nolan movies (Batman begins, dark knight , dark knight rises, now interstellar) it’s time to check another masterpiece written and directed by him called INCEPTION.
after that they can practice lip reading by watching Tenet
@@kluneberg8952 then after that get involved with nolan magic with prestige.
@@samanthanickson6478 My personal favourite of Nolan's. The Prestige has it all, it is a masterpiece.
@@samanthanickson6478 I second this! 👍
@@samanthanickson6478Love that movie. Haven't watched that in years. Im gonna have to go rewatch that. I low key forgot about that movie. Such a great film.
To understand the bookshelf, the main thing to understand is its time represented in a physical manner. It's humans who unlocked the demension of time in order to to save themselves. It's called a tesseract. Everything including the blackhole was put In that spot by future humans to help past humans make it to their next habitable planet, which is where Anne's character ended up. When they were traveling through the blackhole after passing saturn, Cooper touched hands with her which is why she said it felt like someone was shaking her hand, Coopers future self shook her hand as their past selves traveled through the blackhole. All of it was by humans by unlocking the dimension of time. And because they discovered how to do so, Cooper did, it gave him unlimited tries and time to warn Murphy about the plan and to help her solve the equation that lead to her saving humanity. That's why he could use Morris code through the watch and why if you look at the watch when he was doing so, it showed thick lines traveling vertically. Because through all of time, through an infinite number of realities, he could manipulate the watch hands. He was his future self warning his past self and also helping murphy.
1 of the best Sci Fi Space/TimeTravel films ever made imo
@@x_mau9355 it is time traveling.
This is one of those “greatest movies” material.
Time moves differently in higher or lower gravity, compared to other different higher or lower gravity areas. Time and space are connected, and gravity warps it. great reaction, love this movie
Very Emotional movie. When he makes it back and sees his aged daughter, that's something else... he told her he was coming back. 😢
Zimmer said he composed the soundtrack for organ because when comparing it to other instruments of the orchestra, with the piano being the most recent, and IT with it's inherent complexity, the organ is ten orders of magnitude more complex, while being much earlier than the piano.
it was so complex at the time, that sitting down to play it would be like sitting on the cockpit of a starship.
One of greatest movies ever made, the scene with Murr when he leaves it so dam tough, always breaks me. With Hans Zimmer soundtrack it is perfection
This is a masterpiece of a movie, to have the brain power to think of this as a concept and make it into a visual movie is truly amazing! Cried like the 1st time i watched it all over again 😢
The amazing this about Chris Nolan's writing is the level of emotional intelligence he assumes the audience has. ------ We all know Copper loves his daughter. But Nolan's writing show how Copper takes specific actions to care for and protect Murph. ------ When he says, "The first thing you learn about being a parent, is making sure your child is safe and protected. That includes not telling a ten year old girl, that the world is coming to an end." --------- In this exchange of dialogue Nolan is showing how Cooper specifically loves and care for Murph in ways too deep to comprehend. -------- In ways so deep that he would travel the universe to save his daughter and the rest of humanity.
This masterpiece has me in tears. Every. Damn. Time. ❤😅
The foreshadowing in the early part of the film was amazing.
Murphy: "I thought you were the ghost."
Cooper: "No. There are no such things as ghosts, babe."
Cooper: "I just don't think your bookshelf's trying to talk to you."
Ms. Hanley: ".... we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it."
Cooper: "I can't be your ghost right now. I need to exist."
I think a 2nd watch will have y'all understanding it a lot more and loving the movie a lot more imvho...one of my favorites!
Young Murph's first line "I thought you were the ghost." 🙂
I love Dr. Mann's character. Touted as "the best of us," but he shows exactly why Plan A was critical, placing his own survival before that of the human race.
Also, the fact that Hans Zimmer didn't win an award for this music is, by far, the biggest oversight in awards history.
I was already a Nolan fan when I saw this in the theater. It knocked me on my butt. The docking scene is one of the all-time greatest movie scenes. Movie critics would say his films lacked emotion but the good ones are all about love. You guys should check out INCEPTION if you haven't seen it yet. 🙏🏼💗
"My protractor, it didn't work to good back then"
BJ cracked his own self up to good XD
I know, and then he rattles off the relativity equation and Pi in the same breath as saying he was terrible at geometry! 😆
I always pictured a 5th dimentional pov as looking at film cells lined up like dominoes. Each film cell contains our 3 dimensions and represents a single moment in time. Looking through all of the cells at the same time would show you the 4th dimension from a 5th dimensional pov.
Some shots of the bookshelf scene represent it really well.
P.s. Asia was right. Edmonds planet had breathable air and when Coop left for the black hole, she went on to set up shop with Edmonds. He probs died of old age before she got there.
Edmunds died of a rock slide, it was confirmed in extra material, and you can see in the film that his grave is a bunch of rocks that are crashed over his freezer, showing the landslide that killed him. He was dead when his site stopped pinging, 3 years before they went came through the wormhole, so about 1 year before Cooper and Brand left Earth.
It’s the rock slide but yeah he WOULD have been dead of old age by the time she got there anyway.
@@Big_Tex No, I think he was waiting for them in cryosleep (like Mann), so he didn't age.
This is such a powerful beautiful movie I can't imagine going somewhere two minutes but it really be 20 yrs!! I feel like that when we lose someone close to us time literally stops and before we know it it's been 20 years
One of my favorite movies of all time
Amazing movie... Everyone was talking before the movie, when we left the whole crowd was silent. Life changing
Lmfao the "WHAT IS HE DOIN?!" when he goes to dock XD
Each frame of the black hole scene took around 100hrs to render! That's insane
You asked that someone explain in the comments so please allow me to give it a try in a way I think would help:
Coopers daughter noticed something in the bedroom and decided to call it a "ghost". That ghost gave the daughter coordinates to the NASA hidden base.
Later in the film, cooper was inside the "3d box" and in that moment, he realized that he was the one that made things happen in his daughters bedroom which caused her to think there was a ghost. So he asked his robot friend who was somewhere else in the 3d box to please give him the coordinates to the hidden NASA base so he can use the 3d box to give that info to his daughter.
He also then asked the robot to give him the information readings from inside the black hole. The information that the scientists back home knew they needed in order to get their giant tube shaped hidden base off the ground and into space. (Too big and heavy for rockets, they needed to learn how to "turn off gravity" and make it float). Those scientists assumed that they would never get that info because no one could ever go into a black hole.
Coopers black hole adventure was not part of the original plans.
But since they were in this black hole and somehow still survived, and also inside a weird magical 3d box, cooper asked for the info and also asked the robot to give it to him in moors code so he could translate that through the watch.
Cooper and his young daughter originally only noticed the gravity marks on the floor that forced the dust to make a barcode that had the coordinates to NASA, but they never noticed the watch moving.
That watch just kept moving for years and years until the daughter finally came back at her later age to notice it, translate the code of the jumping hand on that watch, and learn how to turn off gravity.
But remember the moment I mentioned when cooper looked around inside the 3d box and realized that he was the one who created "ghost events" for his daughter in that room? Well, sometime in the far away future, human beings discovered how to make that 3d box, and in that moment, they realized that they are the ones who helped cooper with a 3d box and a wormhole.
You can think of the 3d box as a piece of paper that can be seen by you and also by a man in the year 1855.
If you draw a circle on the paper, then that man will see a circle appearing on the paper, like a ghost is making it happen. If that man from 1855 draws a square on the paper, you will start to see a square appearing on the paper in front of you on your coffee table. Again like a ghost.
So this piece of paper exists across time, for everyone from all points in time to see simultaneously.
Someone from years ago who lived in that house before you would see that piece of paper and witness a circle appearing and then a square appearing and think their house is haunted by ghosts and then move out... So that you can later move in and then start a UA-cam channel.
This piece of paper is gravity. In real life, gravity is the only thing that exists across time the way that piece of paper does.
Now explain to me like im 5
Just one of my favorite movies. Definitely have to watch a few times. You two are awesome people. I am always uplifted watching you two.
So in the beginning when all of the machinery/tractors/drone were malfunctioning, that was TARS in the tesseract trying to communicate with the past Cooper (since TARS entered the black hole a few moments before Cooper did). The tesseract itself was created by higher beings, but like he said in the movie, they couldn't locate a specific place in time to essentially give the humans the information needed to survive. In order to us to reach that higher state, Murph was the one who could solve the equation of gravity for survival, but she couldn't do it without the vital information that TARS had collected when entering Gargantuan. TARS had the data but didn't know how to relay the information, so Cooper was essentially the bridge to get TARS information to Murph, and the tesseract (and wormhole) were placed in order for that to happen, and once he succeeded, the tesseract had no more purpose in which it was closed.
Let's have the First Re-reaction of a film on the channel! Let's watch it again and see what We missed. Let's do it Y'all!
When he sacrificed himself and gave the rest of the ship the necessary energy to travel on, he set Brand on a trajectory for Edmund's world. So Brand landed on Edmund's and because that world is orbiting the black hole gravitational relativity makes time pass a lot slower on that world (and of course in the space she is traversing to get there), like on the other planet; some amount of hours for Brand are days on Earth.
So from Brand's point of view she just landed there and set up camp, preparing to launch plan B and grow a whole lot of new colonists. So he left to join her in that endeavor. Because time passes so slowly close to the black hole he will manage to reach Brand in reasonable time from his and her point of view, even if another century may pass back on Earth.
(However, they did fumble with the time delay when they visited the planet with the huge tidal waves caused by the black hole. A ship orbiting that world would of course have almost the same time dilation as on the surface of that world. Though yes, tons of time would have passed back on Earth, the guy on the ship shouldn't have aged 20+ years more than them.)
I don't know why, but I've been at UA-cam addict for like probably 15 years now and subscribe to hundreds of channels and you guys have just become my new favorite. I just appreciate the simplicity the honesty you're just good people. I'm also really appreciative that you do a variety of movies that interest me That's probably a big draw too. Everything from Harry Potter to haunted stuff, if I may recommend my favorite movie of all time it's actually free on UA-cam called the storm of the century but I don't know if it would be great to review because it's 4 hours long and it can be kind of slow lol but just a thought. It was originally a three-part TV series from Stephen King in 1999 during a winter storm on Valentine's Day.
This movie and The Martian was released around the same time, both have Matt Damon and Jessica Chestain in them, and are both amazing human vs space movies.
Hey Asia and BJ, the 5th dimentional space that Cooper fell into was created by a future version of Cooper. ------ Basically it's a device that lays out time in a linear format so a person could find any point thoughout time. ----- Cooper set it up based around his daughter Murphy's childhood bedroom because that is what dad Cooper can remember via the emotional attachment he has to his daughter. -------- Dad Cooper yes that info about the linear time layout to pass info back to Murphy when she was a child in hopes that she would find it when she was ready to understand it, hopefully as an adult. ----- Some next level concepts for sure, and Chris Nolan is a master at conveying such ideas.
The concept is you have to think like this, you sit down to watch a Christopher Nolan movie, about 3 hours, you engage with it and enjoy it. Then when it ends, you get up and everyone else experienced 23 years. It's not thinking about the time you lost, it's that you have a hard time dealing with you experiencing time different then everyone else. If they were stuck for a day on that planet that's 184 years on Earth. A week, that's then becomes 1,288 years on Earth. Stranded for a year, that's 66,976 years. Crazy stats to comprehend, you live a year on that planet and go to Earth which has seen about 3,300 generation live and die.
The big takeaway from this movie: Never turn your back on Matt Damon.
Brand went to edmunds because it was what they agreed on, she was supposed to go to Edmunds planet to see if it’s habitable while cooper ended up going into the black hole. Turned out she was correct and edmunds planet had breathable air (hence her taking off the helmet), so once cooper arrives to her they’ll be able to send out a signal that tells the entire colony to come to that planet and human beings can start anew.
Epic movies deserve epic reactions💪
People in the future had advanced so far they were unable to pick a specific point in time to send a message back so needed Cooper to enter the tesseract they made to pick a point in time where he could send the data required to leave earth(gravity).
Brant was indeed at the other site and Cooper steals a craft at the end to go get her. Obviously the structures built by her boyfriend were left behind on the planet where he died which is what you see at the end.
❤❤❤
This is a tricky movie to follow because they go deep into real physics. Time dilation and the bending of light via intense gravity, other dimensions beyond the 3 we live in and so on. At the end you may find yourself saying "what just happened?", but you will still enjoy it.
Special relativity is mind bending. Learning to accept that time isn't consistent is hard to come to. I loved this movie so much when I first saw it, when they showed the depiction of the worm hole entrance I was amazed that they showed it as it would likely appear to us. Our understanding of physics is so close to banging rocks together that it's humbling.
This is one of my favorite movies ever made. I saw it in the theatre and the whole scene with Matt Damon fighting Cooper up through the docking was the most intense movie experience I've ever felt. The music by Hans Zimmer is next level in this one too. Thank for reviewing!!!!
One of the best movies ever. Could not believe what I saw watching it the first time....watched it again the next day...and many times since. Every time it does a number on me. What a great movie. Makes you think and ponder, it's exciting and has you on your seat without over the top action, hits you in the feels. And then the music....one of those examples where both movie and music even lift each other....perfect unison!
MASTERPIECE!
You guys understood more watching this for your first time. I was totally lost with this movie, but you guys picked up a lot!👍👍
This movie is honestly a piece of art in my opinion.
Asia’s hair looked so nice for this video. Great movie! One of the better Nolan films.
Asia getting flustered trying to explain stuff is my new favourite thing
It’s a Chris Nolan Movie. He goes deep in research and thought for his films. That’s why I love his movies.
There are other planets out there that should support life by having oxygen out there too. I don’t think we’re the only ones.
This was an outstanding movie.
It's a bloody brilliant movie isn't it! - best Sci-fi in recent years! : you definitely have to have your head screwed on to keep up with it all (after a few viewings)!
Also have to say an absolutely amazing & atmospheric soundtrack too - hats off to Hanz Zimmer & his awesome work on this film!
Simple explanation for a complex question... Time Dilation, where the faster you move the slower time moves for you relative to everything else, has been proven. First you must understand that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. If I am in a car traveling 50mph and I throw a ball to someone standing in the road at 30mph, to me the ball is traveling 30mph but to the person in the road it is traveling at 80mph, this is what we call relative speed. If I am in that same car traveling 50mph and I turn on the headlights, that light is not traveling at the speed of light plus 50mph to the observer in the road since nothing travels faster than the speed of light. This means that the speed of light does not change, the time has to change. A black hole is a point in space that has so much gravitational pull that light can't escape it, so the closer you get to a black hole the more time dilation you experience. Wormholes and the bending of space time is only theoretical. The 5th dimension inside a black hole is fantasy.
Matthew McConaughey "That's what I love about these black holes. Everyone gets older, I stay the same age" "Alright, alright!" 😂
It's called "Time Dilation". Maybe others have already commented on this but the equation is Δt' = Δt * sqrt(1 - 2GM / (rc²)). To simplify that; time is relative to speed & gravity of an object. We constantly need to update our gps satelites in orbit because they're travelling faster in time.
Hey guys loving the channel and the reactions! Just some friendly feedback, I imagine its hard to decide what to edit out for yt but try to avoid big jumps of time and character building like the parent reacher conference in the beginning. Scenes like that help us gauge you as you start to see the characters and story unfold. All the best, looking forward to more!
Alot of people miss this but at the end, Doyl has her helmet off. She found the habitable planet
Im excited for this one, one of my personal favorites. A damm near perfect film.
Uhhh....
The film's advisor was Kip Thorne, one of the most renowned theoretical astrophysicists.
You two are great at reacting to movies thanks for this one!
The tesseract where he gave his daughter the equations, was a place where time was not linear. All things in time don't happen there one after the other like they do for us, they happen all at once. The future humans were so advanced (millions of years past us) that they could make such a place and do so so Cooper could help his daughter save humanity. Arthur C. Clarke once said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Think of us going back in time and showing a smartphone to someone from 3,000 years ago. The tech of the future human was so advanced it seems almost like magic to us. He was in a place where he could see any moment in time. So when he left that place he was even further in time.
Brand went to the other world that was to be humanity's new home. Edmonds had set up there but died at some point. By the time she got to the other world, Edmonds was dead because she and Cooper lost 27 years on the water world that was so close to the black hole and they passed close to the black hole again when he "left himself behind" which caused even more time to pass. So Edmonds probably died of old age but before he did he had time to set up the initial colony. Murphy was smart enough to know that because of their time close to a black hole, everyone else Brand and Cooper knew would long dead and so they were the only ones left from their generation. Time dilation and black holes mess with your head. In the end, Cooper was going to be with Brand because love and fate put them together.
The message I get from the film is that for all our science and tech, including the super tech of the advanced humans from the far future, love transcends time and space.
Yes I'm so glad you guys are doing this today! It's such a great movie, and I currently feel like I am on an alien planet, I live in the desert where we are currently having a tropical f****** hurricane LOL! Hopefully I have internet long enough to watch this with y'all😹💕✌⛈
No. Cooper told her when he was in the 5d that it was possible and solvable but Murph still had to figure the equations out herself to accomplish it.
Hey Asia and BJ. I know family means the world to you. -------- "Interstellar" takes you on a journey so profound it makes you rethink the ties you have with your family. It makes you ponder to what lengths one would go to in fulfilling a promise to your loved one, especially a child. --------- I believe this is why the movie and its theme of parental love and sacrifice resonate with you so deeply. -------- Great, amazing, heartfelt reaction. You won me over with this one.
Unsure if anyone has mentioned, the interviews from early on in the movie, mentioning the dust, farming, etc, are from an excellent documentary by Ken Burns, covering the Dust Bowl.
He has many other excellent ones, Baseball, The Prohibition, The Civil War, amongst others...
Not necessarily a reaction suggestion, they are multiple hour long series, but perhaps something for you 2 to watch in your free time.
Thanks for the reaction...
NO way im so happy to see you guys watched this its my favorite!
About the 1 day equals 7 years thingy. Simplified and partially wrong, but should be good and easy enough to get the general gist: We all move with the same overall speed through spacetime (186k miles(300k km)/sec). The faster we move through space, the slower we move through time and vice versa. Gravity accelerates us towards it's mass center. So even if you feel like you are standing still and that nothing is happening, technically you are actually moving towards the center (it's just that your movement is being hindered by the matter you are standing on, but that's a different, uh, matter). Of course, the greater the gravity, the faster you "move" through space. And, see above, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. It's the same for our satelites by the way. Their time ticks faster then our time on earth, so their time has to be translated into our landrat time in order for us to be synchronized with (h)ours. Due to the enormous gravitational pull, time one Miller's planet moved much slower than for the poor guy waiting in orbit. And even slower for those on earth. Hope that helps. :)
Don't let me leave, Murph!
I haven't seen the movie, so I hope I get an "alright, alright, alright..." and "That's what I love about Space Academy, I get older, but the aliens stay the same age."
The crazy part is the water planet......
Every tick is a year, the guy who they came to find had JUST gotten there and died minutes before they landed.....from the wave before they landed.
The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes. Theoretically, when you hit the speed of light time stops for you. So you leave earth and hit the speed of light in 10 minute amd travel for a month at that speed then come back to earth and everyone on earth has aged decades. Also the closer you get to an intense gravity well(a black hole) the more time slows for you. So technically a photon sees the entire life span of the universe.
Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance. 🖖😌
What throws me off is Murph, and Coop got the coordinates for NASA from "the ghost". Why would Coop give them the coordinates that would lead to disaster?
Do there’s reaction channels talk to each other? Cuz the two I watch always watch the same movie as the other like 3-4 weeks in a row now 😂
They probably watch or look at each others views. Just like I noticed a BUNCH of reactors reacting to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
yes, they all watch each other to see who is having success and where.. just like any successful business should do.. and yes.. this IS a business
“Rage against the dying of the light” is featured in two movies. This (Interstellar) and Back to School
The three-dimensional world in the center of the black hole is a physical representation of the flowing of time. It was a creation specifically made for a human to interact with. Like a hammer or a screwdriver, once the tools use became complete, it collapsed in on itself and Cooper was teleported back via the wormhole around Saturn to be discovered.
Shortcut: conclusion of this essay to be found under the **************, further down.
(Technically, time is not the 4th dimension; but to be understood here, let's pretend it is.)
A thing in the 0-ish dimension: A DOT.
A thing in the 1st dimension: A LINE; the dot has now
Things in the 2nd dimension: FLAT FIGURES (like a square), made out of lines; are the two bros here
Things in the 3rd dimension: SPACIAL FIGURES (like a cube), seemingly made out of 1D/2D elements; are the ruling trio.
Things in the 4th dimension: 3D plus
5th dimension: Apparently, if you live 'there', you can, uh, move 1D/2D/3D/4D stuff.
Kinda.
So:
- The 1st dimension can be explained/understood by 0D elements that were lengthened to become lines.
- The 2nd dimension can be explained/understood by combining 1D elements in a specific way.
- The 3rd dimension can be explained/understood by combining 2D elements in a specific way.
Right? Each "next" higher dimension can always be explained (= as in: taught to be understood) by using elements from the "previous" dimensions.
We all think in 3D since that is our world. It's difficult for us to think in 4D. Time is part of our lives, sure, but it is not part of our space. That's not how we perceive it. But in 4D, that's how it would be.
**************
So, how can a 5D humanity offer Cooper a 4D tool for sending messages through time that he would understand quickly enough? By making it look like 3D! The bookshelves are a 3D representation of time. Each bookshelf-space shown is a window through which Cooper could see and interact with one specific past.
Ok, The closer to a Black hole the slower time will pass. We have already done this experiment on earth. 2 atomic clocks set to same time then one sent to outer space for a while then brought back. The times were different! has to do with gravity and how it Bends space /time.
Very Impressed Asia nailed the ending premise in one - respect!
There is so much to unpack in this movie, and it's a credit to you (and to everyone out there who loves this movie) that you want to ask questions after you're done watching. Some movies just leave you asking questions. Having a curious mind, ready with questions - that is a great thing... better than thinking you know it all.
The music is so beautiful and it is visually stunning! One of my favorite movies and lets not talk about the thought and research on the time and space side..
What I like about these reactions is seeing the different of people's personalities , Most reactors You can tell only living in the immediate moment not imaginative of the future & possibilities it's noticeable in sci-fi movies when people are surprised at simple concepts that's a trope in every Sci fi book / film ... and also low ability to think ahead in the plot ...
but I guess this is why they are all good reactors because ie : if your thinking, your not reacting
If I was to do a reaction. Basically, I'd be thinking about the solutions for every problem & asking big meaningful questions and disregarding the people aspect of the story
18:32 That part is very impressive art 🪐
They were spinning to create centrifugal force on the "ring" part of the ship so that it would pull them to the "floor". Basically a way of creating artificial gravity while in orbit. That way they wouldn't have to worry as much about loss of muscle mass and osteoporosis.
