2:41 - Instead of renting/leasing a property to shoot the farm scenes, Nolan literally bought a farm, grew corn on it, shot those scenes for the movie, then sold the farm for a profit. Fucking legend.

​@@cainyourkids I don't know why that's where you went with it, the impressive part is that he went the extra mile and actually grew the corn himself, which is far more effort than just renting one that already exists. Not how much money it costs. I also doubt he's as rich as you think he is.

[@cainyourkids]

@@VColossalV raised by a bloodline of farmers here, sure not corn farmers (mostly rice, banana and pineapple but that’s what you get here in the tropics) but most farming principles are the same, save there in the US your farmers have a lot more equipment available to work with. Also highly doubting Nolan himself planted those one by one, not even my family did and we definitely had less of a budget than he did.

[@VColossalV]

@@cainyourkids Of course he didn't literally plant each, one by one. Point is it would have been much easier to just buy it, but he cared that much about his vision and creating it how he wanted that he made sure the farm was grown from scratch, and didn't waste it afterwards. I'm sure it still stands today. Also Nolan isn't using his own money for the movie, of course, the budget is given by the studio.

[@imsaadhasan]

One of the greatest films ever made, with the absolute best soundtrack of all time. Christopher Nolan is an absolute genius. The journey this film takes you on is ridiculous. In Nolan's own words, "don't try to understand it, just feel it." The visuals, the music, the hard-hitting dialogue, the gut-wrenching emotional scenes and the plot twists. Man, what a film. Also, the fact that the science in this film is 100% accurate and grounded in scientific theory is just beyond me. They used theory to render a model of what a black hole would look like, and when the first ever image of a black hole was taken in 2019, it was exactly what Interstellar showed 5 years before.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Those words from Nolan are perfect because honestly not sure I’ll ever understand the “how” but that doesn’t take anything away from this movie.

[@seraeggobutterworth5247]

The scientific theory is solid (as far as we currently understand it), but they had at least one major plot hole that makes the scientists in the movie look incompetent. As soon as the ship got close enough to the first planet (Miller’s planet) to observe that it was so much closer to Gargantua than was previously believed, they should have realized that Miller had only been broadcasting a signal for a couple of hours, from her perspective. Given that knowledge, which they should have had, it makes no sense that they would use their resources to go down to the surface of that planet as their first stop. ETA: And this doesn’t even touch on the fact that NASA had supposedly been receiving positive signals (pings) from some of the astronauts, including Miller. Even if the signals were so rudimentary that they didn’t include any sort of local timestamp (which is unlikely), surely someone would have noticed the massive time lapse between pings from Miller’s planet.🧐

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

​@@seraeggobutterworth5247 Humans aren't used to thinking in those terms. From your logic, they should have realized the tide issue. But we aren't used to thinking in those terms.

[@tonyd9394]

@@JeshuaSquirrel Nonsense. That was sloppy writing and we both know it. The signal from the water mountain planet would have been coming in at an extremely slow rate, hundreds of not thousands of times slower than the other beacons that were also transmitting, clearly telling them that it was failed mission. Same with the habitability of the place, how would humanity have moved there when the time dilation was so vast that a single dropship flight would have aged the "normal time" people well outside the time dilation bubble possibly more than a lifetime's worth?

The scenes of the parent child relationship hits the strongest, especially for parents, in the intercom scenes after 23 years apart, and of course the ending. and whoever else that understood the love connection, whether you are single or have children or not.

Another thing is that they had Kip Thorne theoretical physicist who came up with the concept of the movie.

It's so awesome to see science in the main stream media and have it be so phenomenal.

[@ronniebots9225]

I remeber an intervieuw when they put all the theoratical math into the rendering and produced the image of a black hole thats used in the movie. The folks at Hollywood did not understand the whole light on the horizon and the light from the back curved over it. Then they showed it to the science guy and his reacction was: 'O yeah ofcourse that makes sense'. And then years later when the first better picctures of a known blackhole came trough, it was confirmed.

Docking scene is worthy of awards alone

[@mastixencounter]

@@Crackling-Comet not really, hardly anything happens feels so short

[@annap2287]

A couple fun facts: 1. Kip Thorne was the physicist they consulted on this film for all the visuals. He said he would not work on the film if they tried to dramatize the visuals (which they didn’t). The imagery of the black hole is as close of a representation of what it would really look like based on current calculations. 2. During the docking scene after Mann is unalived, the reason Cooper didn’t pass out is because he kept his head against the spin to decrease the G force on his body. Brand went with the spin which is why she passed out so quick. Cooper’s piloting experience is what saved them.

[@ronniebots9225]

Ooh so close. Coop was going into the direction of the spin and Brann whent against it. They where spinning clockwise. So left side around. Thats why Coop was leaning to the left so Deoxygenated blood could leave his brain by gravitational pull and he needed to push Oxygenated blood back up into his brain by using piloting techniques. Brann on the other hand gave in to the pull on her body to the right. That made hear head the furtherst past of her body and all the blood would pool in her head without any means to work against gravity to go back into the body and to the heart. So no Oxygenated blood could move trough the brain anymore. So you are absolutely right, but got the firections mixed up :)

[@ExarchGaming]

@@ronniebots9225 it was centrifugal force so they were both being pushed to the outside of the ship, that's how they get gravity because they're walking around it lengthwise. because they were at the direct center point of the spin they both were being pushed in the opposite direction. So I don't think it's a slip up.

[@mulrich]

This isn't TikTok. You can write "killed".

[@corpsecoder_nw6746]

yea and the time travel doesn't cause the grandfather paradox. The worm hole and surviving the black hole are all mathematically possible (gravastar--gravitational vacuum star and white hole/time-reversed black hole). So the future beings, to make sure they and all of humanity would exist, they ensured that the black hole tesseract and the worm hole worked, put in the right place in the past, and didn't collapse. They were supposed to put these galactic object in the right place back in the past to make sure the humans in the movie did exactly what was going to happen. Perhaps Brand (Anne Hathaway's character) would have known that the future people would make time-reversing black holes and that Cooper would come back.

The only issue though is that they wouldn’t be able to solve Plan A. Cooper won’t go the Black hole in which case he won’t be in the Tesseract to communicate with his daughter. I get what you mean with the love transcending all barriers which is evident in the movie it’s just that i think that everything is predetermined and that’s how it should happen.

[@wemustdissent]

One crazy fact about this movie is they took the consultation with scientists very seriously and talked to them extensively about what a black hole would look like if you were near one. It was from those discussions that they built the visual for Gargantua. Later, like 7 years after the movie came out, scientists got an image captured of a black hole M87 and it looked pretty close to the visual from the movie (obviously a lot blurrier)

[@rrebecaa]

My grandpa died while having his 8 kids, 29 grandkids, and 19 great grandchildren around him ( + some of his brothers and nephews, plenty of people from his church and his neighbors). The moment was a testament of having lived his life right, maintaining a relationship with his kids + theirs. So rare for someone to leave this life like that but I want to finish life like that too.

This is perhaps my favorite reaction you've done so far. Great job!

[@c.a.honeycutt5046]

It’s funny you say that, because I specifically remember people hating on it for dumbing down information. Like, why would they need to explain the wormhole or relativity to a Coop, who should know these things already. There are moments like this just for the audience, and I think they were done very well. It just goes to show people will complain about anything.

[@GarrickMerriweather]

@@c.a.honeycutt5046 You are so right. IDK but at the time I went to see it, so many people were saying that they didn't get it and why did all of Nolan's films "make you work for it" and there was this heavy comparison being made to *_Inception_* . Now I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy mindless, spoon-fed movies also, but I love movies that make you *FEEL* something and *_Interstellar_* does that in droves.

[@teutonicknight9041]

Ok, I don’t hate Interstellar, there’s a lot of great things about it, but the story kinda goes off the rails and while the finale is emotional, it made me go “wha” not because I didn’t know what was going on, but because it was nonsensical BS.

[@GarrickMerriweather]

@@teutonicknight9041 Fair point. And I get that criticism. But Chris's whole point was that no one knows what *ACTUALLY* goes on inside of a blackhole. Not even scientists. Neil DeGrasse even said Chris's take was highly plausible considering no human alive or dead has ever been in or entered the 4th dimension. The finale was about possibility. Is it possible? Coop entered the 4th dimension and then Nolan used the art of the unknown to fuel his plot. That's not nonsensical BS, that is great storytelling101. There are still so many things in this universe that are unexplainable and assuming that it can all be explained by today's scientific knowledge and technology is foolhardy IMHO. This is one of the many reasons I don't particularly like hard-science fiction (I prefer fantastical Sci-Fi and Space Opera's). Hard-SF is telling a story far-fetched into the future but using today's science and tech to fuel the story. That makes absolutely no sense to me. The arrogance of some to think that "we know all we're ever going to know" is the real nonsensical BS. Go back to the 1960's and explain (I'm sorry - *TRY* to explain) smart phones to the so-called... "Scientific Community" of that time.

[@ExarchGaming]

a lot of people couldn't wrap their brains around it. It requires kind of a basic level of knowledge of physics to fully grasp it. Relativity and especially quantum mechanics is a total and complete mindfuck, even the dimensional stuff, I can't remember if it's in string theory or something else, but due to the curvature of space, the math shows something like 11 dimensions are possible, and to explain that to someone is really hard. Because it's not dimensions like they show in fantasy but like spatial dimensions, think x-y-z but add 8 more integers there. Go look at a 3d model of a 4D or 5D image and it will completely melt your brain trying to figure it out, because we just aren't built to really comprehend anything other than 3 dimensions

Our ingenuity, our stubbornness, our doubt, our faith, our frustration, bitterness... yet, our love, our cunning, our boldness, our fear, our strength, and so, so much more... Every. Single. Time. that I see this film (and share in the first-time experience of others watching this film, like right now) I'm brought to quietly weep through so many different phases of this movie. Every character pushing back against the rules, clinging to a private, motivating seed in each of their hearts - It's so human to make the choices that each character felt they had to make in any given moment, any given point in time, any point in their life. The losing, the winning, the prices paid, the sacrifices made, the damages done, the instincts for survival, even against rationality. Perhaps especially given the context of these profoundly intelligent scientists attempting to spearhead an organized, yet profoundly desperate "second chance" for the greater species - attempting to plant the seeds for fruit and food in a future that they knowingly would never pluck and savor. And others still bound by their hearts to follow, even against their objective understanding of what needed to be done instead, trying to find a way to follow both at the same time.. Augh. It's all so gripping, and moving, and it makes absolute complete sense why Nikki was so stricken by that scene in the hospital, while they're hurtling through space on a generational station trying to feel like normal people, cherishing the relics of where they came from, as they blaze the greatest trail into the unknown in the history - the entire story - of humanity. Geez. Edit: Also, on the note of the tremendous music/score of this film - Challenge: There are several videos here on YT of people playing songs from Interstellar on piano in public. Try not to get choked up hearing this one instrument bring back every feeling you felt watching this film. IMPOSSIBLE! 😂😍😭

Very real reaction, and Nikki’s reaction at the end did make me think too. We all want to leave a legacy as we face our mortality. Being surrounded by your family as you die is the best legacy, as opposed to being alone as you face your inevitable death .

Some people may disagree. I understand your point of view. I was quite nihlistic at one stage, and thought never wanting kids was fine. And it totally is if that's your choice.

[@Kiraiko44]

The movie takes place in 2067 which means John Lithgow's character is a millennial (or maybe young gen x), which makes his line about how when he was a kid there was something new coming out every day make total sense. It's also very weird for me to think about cause it means we'd be around the same age timeline wise. It feels like things are already slowing down, there used to be a fierce competition between companies to have the newest and best product but it seems like today they're all making the same thing and they all charge the same (a lot) for products that aren't that great anymore and are just copies of one another. Also the interview clips are mostly from Ken Burns documentary The Dust Bowl, which was a disaster that contributed to the Great Depression. Soil erosion thanks to overworking the land, drought, and high winds throughout the Midwest created massive dust storms that killed almost all vegetation (including basically all the crops) and suffocated a great number of animals and people. Children especially were prone to dying because their smaller lungs couldn't handle as much dust as the adults. A lot of people don't know this movie is recreating the conditions of that event

[@thatswhatcheesehead]

Watching this again just gave me an idea/insight that I had never thought of before: By going to the water planet and Brandt making the decisions she did and subsequently costing them decades, they may have saved everyone back on earth. If they hadn't used up all that extra time, then when Cooper enters the 5th dimension Murph would still be a kid. The decades that passed allowed her to grow up and get to the point where she could understand and interpret the quantum data.

[@enrrique1374]

Except the 5th dimension has all of unbound time and space available. It would allowed Cooper to access any point in time of the room. Cooper attempted to communicate with Murphy when she was a child, with himself, and ultimately with adult Murphy and was able to do so because all of that was at his reach, thus Murphy getting older during the lost years is irrelevant.

Hans Zimmer writes his very best movie scores when the story’s focus is on close family relationships. Here it’s father and daughter, in Gladiator it is a father trying to get back to his family. The Lion King was father and son. Prince of Egypt was the story of two brothers. He has a way of reining in the very epic to remind us of the very intimate human side of the story. Hans Zimmer is the GOAT.

[@JITKanno0]

wow, I didnt know he wrote music for Prince of Egypt!...

I credit this movie for being the film that introduced how important a film score was to younger millenials and older gen z. You don’t really understand it when you’re younger and watching things like the lion king and prince of Egypt, or gladiator (realized I just named a bunch of Hans Zimmer projects lol), but I feel like this score was so unique and revolutionary that people were like WOW, music is SOOOOO important in a film.

I honest to goodness believe that Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of our time. He has never not made something absolutely incredible, then blows his last piece out of the water the next time over and over again. Interstellar is his greatest work IMO

Millennials are defined as those born between 1980 and 1995. Therefore I think people who are 44+ have already experienced a good film score. I suspect you may have your generations reference slightly mixed up.
