What's even sadder is that Tom was the one who had hope in his dad all that time, he was the one updating him about everyone's life, the best and the worst parts and taking to him (even if one sided), even naming his child after him, but in the end he never had the chance to see his dad one last time or talk to him ever again since his leaving. Murph at least was alive and had couple of minutes with Cooper, but Tom never got that chance and died not knowing what happened to his dad. I feel Cooper's relationship with his son was very underdeveloped by the end. I understand from the movie perspective why since it was about Cooper and Murph emotional payoff, but damn it seemed like he completely forgot he had another kid besides Murph and didn't even ask about him.

I think one of the really powerful parts is that he starts with tears of joy about his son graduating and finding love. Then over the span of about 2 minutes that changes to crying over various tragedies and the sense of loss. By that time most viewers are crying too, which makes it even more emotional and drives a sense of connection to a situation that no watcher can ever fully understand.

[@johnnyb.1807]

In the span of a few minutes, Cooper witnesses his son falling in love, graduating, becoming a father, losing his own son, and the most crushing part is when Tom loses hope and let’s go. Then, Murph. Jesus Christ when she says she is now as old as he was when he left, all the feels flowed forth. All the while he can’t touch or hug them, and is helpless and unable to tell them that he hasn’t abandoned them or forgotten. A truly remarkable scene and one of my all time favorites.

"Today is my birthday. And it's a special one because you once told me that when you came back, we might be the same age. Well, now I'm the same age that you were when you left... and it'd be really great if you came back soon." You need to realize that she probably realized her father died. And while she did hate him for leaving him to save everyone, she finally wanted him back. In an ironic sense, even in the film, Cooper says that he can't tell Murph that is saving the world because being a parent means not telling your child that the world is ending. So... I'M NOT CRYING. YOU'RE CRYING.

She still thought he would come back. It's just that, in her mind, she set the condition that he would come back before they were the same age. She thought he would keep the promise and come back before then, but now that that time has passed, she doesn't have any time she can expect him to return. She could be on her death bed as an old woman before he returns like she was at the end or she could see him any time before that. Removing the barrier of the two decades made it feel more real and she couldn't use the anger to hold back her other feelings. She's also starting to realize that she didn't just miss her life but he missed hers.

How did Romilly not go insane being completely alone for 23 years, just waiting?

[@Systolic120mmHg]

T G did you not clearly hear him say he had stretches of cryo sleep? Even then, he had those machines to socialize with so he wasn’t necessarily all alone. Of course his sanity might have changed but he definitely wasn’t awake the full 23 years

[@jonathanbailey6503]

He had CASE, and he's a man of science. He knew the theory, and the risks involved. Plus he slept a lot. Nevertheless, wouldn't be easy for anyone.

[@thetbcadventures]

Everything about this scene breaks me. “It didn’t seem right to dream my life away.” Is so powerful the thought of being alone in space thinking this it. The line that truly breaks me everytime is from Murph “you once told me that one day I might be the same age as you. While todays it’s a special one because I’m the same age as when you left.” It’s just the deliver of power in the line that brings me to tear. That feeling of anger but also that longing feeling murph is going through is chilling.

3:09 the way tom says "come back" hits so hard yet its spoken so soft, and almost sounds so direct like literally he wants him to come back...

[@Byeahman]

God, when he just starts shaking his head when Tom said it was time for him to let go just killed me. Can you even try to imagine that? You already missed 23 years of your kid’s life in just an hour or two, and then on top of that you won’t get to see the rest of it? That’s just awful man. And Matthew McConaughey sold that reaction perfectly.

[@geoffbruce8605]

God it's heartbreaking at 2:41. Just how much more broken and beaten Tom looks and the way his voice is so much more raspy and weathered. You know that he has bad news this time, and seeing him even just being upbeat and delivering good news over the first couple of messages already had everybody near tears, so the next few minutes are obviously going to be rough. McConaughey's acting in this scene is unbelievable. To say that much without actually speaking a single word, you feel every emotion right there with him.

Right next to Joker and Endgame (for me) Avatar was 2008 otherwise it would replace Endgame

[@calvinducey4048]

EyeAr WeeTawTed Endgame is great for a flashy action movie. I wouldn’t call it top 3. It looks great and has a bunch of our favorite characters in it. It isn’t really a movie with a fantastic plot, fantastic acting, twists and turns, and a horrifying underlying theme of how value time is. Endgame is a fun watch. Interstellar is an experience.

[@spacejesus6581]

Mr Burger it’s my third favorite movie, Interstellar is first followed by Joker then Endgame In fact I would go so far as to say the MCU is my favorite movie, since Endgame is so epic because of its 22 movie legacy And no one can deny Portals was a powerful scene

This movie is unique. I’ve watched thousands of films throughout my life and none of them impacted me the way this film did. This movie is a roller coaster of emotions but it makes you really think about how limited our time is and to spend it wisely with your loved ones. One amazing masterpiece.

I watched the movie 30 minutes ago with my friend and in the end we both sat there, just silent. Best movie to ever exist.

[@javierluna56]

It's not a time paradox, it's time dilation

[@youngarnold4]

@@Toastmaster_5000 I'm not scientifically smart enough to understand the difference lol.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

@@youngarnold4 A time paradox is, for example, when you travel backward in time and touch your past self. It's a paradox for a whole lot of reasons, but the most straight-forward one is because just the act of touching your past self would change the path that resulted in your future self from existing. Time dilation is when you experience time at a different rate than someone else because you are traveling through space faster than them. This is real physics and actually affects us - GPS satellites for example have built-in clocks that run ever-so-slightly faster than identical clocks on the ground, because they're orbiting Earth quickly. Those satellites have literally traveled forward in time. So, when you imagine how quickly the crew in Interstellar is orbiting a black hole, you can see how years would go by in the perspective of Earth.

Gravity's affect on space-time is so trippy. Light is a constant speed, so if strong enough gravity stretches space out, the only thing that can change is time. Real strong gravity (like black hole style) will dilate time. It's so hard to wrap your head around but it's true.

[@aninjaguardian]

This scene in Interstellar encapsulates why it's probably in my top 3 all time favorite films. It takes a concept I'm interested about (space, black holes, and time dilation) and adds a human element to it. Adding human drama to the concept of black holes and time dilation is just incredibly fascinating to me and really puts into perspective just how incompatible the human life span is to the scale of celestial objects like black holes and space time.

[@ganeshkumarchiramshetti5587]

4:03 that few seconds of silence crushed my heart beat . true expressions, i think i never gonna see another one like here

[@sahityabk]

2001 A Space Odyssey is looked at more as a piece of art. Interstellar is going to be remembered as an experience. Literally every aspect of this movie, whether its the acting, direction, cinematography, the editing, the sound design, THE MUSIC, set design, and writing(debatable)...is firing on all cylinders. It represents the peak of filmmaking. It also has 2 scenes that I think will go down in history as some of the greatest scenes put on film; watching his children’s messages scene and the docking sequence. I remember seeing this movie in IMAX on the first day of release, planned it perfectly to make sure i got there early to get center seats and not too close to the screen. Right after Cooper pleads to Dr. Mann not to dock and then Mann blew himself up, Cooper accelerates towards the Endurance and Dr. Brandt then asks Cooper what he's doing, and he just says..."docking" (Cue Hanz Zimmer's score). I lost my shit in the theater, I got goosebumps and literally leaned forward and audibly said pretty loudly "what...the...fuck!?!". As the scene went on I remember thinking, Nolan... you crazy bastard , you just cranked the intensity up to a 10. Then the music tipped it over to an 11. That moment, that sequence with that music and the sound just blasting. Sensory Overload...I will never forget the experience. Seriously, if you sat down and really thought about "what" this movie is about, like really thought about all its themes, all its layers of depth and what its trying to say, your gonna come to only one conclusion. Its about Everything.

[@svenhesselink3288]

Space and time was merely a backdrop to a story about a father's guilt of leaving his family behind, and I will always love this movie.
