Watching Interstellar For the First Time! ~ It DESTROYED My Brain & Emotions!

Hans Zimmer never disappoints, and this movie has my favorite compositions of his. When they land on the water planet there's a faint sound of a clock ticking in the background. It happens once every 1.25 seconds, which was intentional and is mathematically accurate. Each time the clock ticks an entire day passes back on earth.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

That would be equivalent to 7.89 years per hour. It could be a rounding error, but then you'd think they would've said 8 years per hour. The correct rate for seven years per hour is one day every 1.41 seconds: (1 hr.P / 7 yr.E) * 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min * 1 yr/365 days = 1.41 sec.P/day.E

Christopher Nolan brought in real-life physicist Kip Thorne as a consultant on this film in order to get as much of the physics of gravity, relativity, and black holes as correct as he could. As no one had ever seen a real black hole before production began, Gargantua's appearance was based on renderings of actual scientific calculations to approximate what a black hole would really look like. It turned out to be remarkably accurate when the first-ever composite photo of a real black hole was taken in 2019, as it appeared very similar to Interstellar's Gargantua.

@@TimeFadesMemoryLasts Yeah while I love this movie everything about Millers planet and the time dilation of being on the surface is incredibly unrealistic. If the gravitational forces of Gargantua are so strong to cause such a time dilation, how could the crew operate like it was normal earth gravity while on the surface? Not to mention the dilation effect should be similar whether you were in orbit or on the surface since it wasn’t from the planet itself. The only plausible explanation was they the landed on the side of the planet nearest Gargantua where the planetary gravity and the gravity from Gargantua somehow equaled out to around 9.8m/s squared. But that doesn’t explain why someone in orbit would experience time at earth speeds. But whatever, it makes for a great scene

They’re pretty neck and neck I think for the majority of the population or the majority of Nolan and zimmer fans so I’ve never been upset with someone thinking one is better than the other, I often think I know which one I like more, but then it changes just like that. I attended my dad’s funeral 2 days before my 18th birthday and he was my hero and the wisest man I’ve ever met. So the dad/daughter dynamic (even though I’m a son) and the “my dad promised me” really has always hit me hard, and the fact that interstellar could be representative of possible futures for our reality some day. The earth dying and what not.. the organ and soundtrack is just insane. But inception is its own master piece too. And equally as good. People can relate to that guilt Leo feels about what he did and I feel close to that as someone who shares deep guilt too knowing that I could have seen my dad the night he died but chose to go to a dumb high school party. And it’s not like I knew he’d suddenly pass but. Us humans are hard on ourselves. Regardless they’re just both master pieces in acting, soundtrack, plot. Everything.

The black hole illustration for this movie looked almost exactly like the first picture taken of an actual black hole, years before the actual picture was taken. They nailed it. William Shatner had a deep spiritual experience when he went up to space at age 90. The video of him and the other people in the capsule shows them laughing and talking, and he stands to one side, looking so irritated with the others. He said he felt terrified by the utter black of space and when he tried to talk about it the others were drinking champagne like it was a a carnival ride. A lot to process at his age.

That’s because they actually did the real calculations and modeled it based on gravitational physics. Kip Thorne consulted on this movie and the VFX team actually got a scientific paper published on black holes because of it

And yes for the reason you stated to keep us reminded of what is at stake :) The sound fades into the score as it gets bigger so its hard to say how many there are total, but I don't think it's supposed to add up the the 20+ years they were actually there. He does it quite a bit in Inception too where parts of his score or sounds are slowed down by x3 when they are 3 levels deep in the dream. Just fun music things :)

The clicking tempo changes, from 48 bpm (once every 1.25 seconds) to 60 bpm (once every second). With the 7yr/h 48 bpm equates to ~21.3 hours, for 24 hours it would've had to be ~42.6 bpm. Maybe they just rounded the 7.89 yr/h down.

[@BadassRaiden]

The experience of astronauts you are talking about is called The Overview Effect and it is induced by seeing our small, insignificant planet without its boarders and boundaries, against the full, endless blackness of space. To see the planet without all the pointless fighting, pointless separation, pointless "othering" of each other - it is awe-inspiring. And that is the word you are looking for, not cool, but awe. Awesome, in the full original meaning of the word. Also Miranda you should know that all of the shots from inside the Ranger where the actors can see stuff outside, through the windows, that's all in camera. Nolan did everything that would normally be done in post production, ie VFX stuff and did it all FIRST. He then projected all those elements onto screens outside the Ranger model so the actors are actually reacting to things in front of them, rather than a green screen. Anne Hathaway said she was moved to tears when she saw the black hole/wormhole for the first time on set. And you're not alone. The Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Becker wrote a book about this very thing, which was expanded upon by the work of a man named Sheldon Solomon and his colleagues. Basically, if human beings only thought about the existential nature of their existence - the fact that we are defecating meat puppets on a tiny insignificant rock in a literal sea of trillions and trillions of insignificant rocks, the fact that our awareness that we are here inadvertently creates an awareness that we will someday not be here and that time itself will continue eternally even though we won't be here to experience it - if that is all we thought about as humans, we would become so catatonic that we would probably die of thirst never leaving our beds. So to counteract what Ernest termed "death anxiety" human beings created Culture, all the cultures that exist today and have ever existed - and what a magnificent sight culture is to behold.

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

Well yeah, if you stopped eating and drinking and just sat around thinking about stuff then we would die of thirst. Humans can think about incomprehensible ideas just fine and our brains don't crash when we think about how the universe is so massive. Humans do not fall into a catatonic state because of it. It's only a thing in fictional stories to create a dramatic effect and to emphasize how significant and impactful what they saw is.

[@BadassRaiden]

@@Fragenzeichenplatte It doesnt have anything to do with thinking about the "incomprehensible." It has to do with the weight and implications of what it means to exist and be a person, what it means consciousness and to be aware of the eventual death of that consciousness, the notion that the world continues without us indefinitely while we aren't here to experience it, the notion that other conscious beings exist, meaning and purpose etc. I wasn't referring to it with regards to the content of the movie specifically, ie space. What I was saying has nothing to do with thinking about space, let alone the vastness of the universe itself. The reason we don't go catatonic thinking about it, is because we developed a buffer that helps our minds compartmentalize all that, which as I said, is human culture.

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

@@BadassRaiden The "weight and implications" don't affect the brain at all. It's not human culture, it's just how the brain works. If it was different you wouldn't even be able to have these thoughts in the first place. The brain can deal with difficult, complex questions, the same way it can handle a math problem or a move in chess or even a tricky shot with a rifle during the Olympics. No one talks about "catatonic states" then.

[@BadassRaiden]

@@Fragenzeichenplatte You simply fail to understand what I'm talking about about. The brain only successfully thinks about these problems, if it stops every once in a while, utilizing the buffer that is culture. It ALL we ever thought about was the fact that we are defecating meat puppets, conscious of the fact that we are here and that someday we will not be here, and the weight of what it means to be a moral agent, we would never get out of bed. It's called Death Anxiety and it's been proven as a concept through literal decades of psychological research. If you think the weight and implications simply don't affect the brain at all, then you have no idea what you are talking about. There has been a considerable number of studies, again, over decades, that proves beyond a reasonable doubt, that when you remind the average person of their mortality, and by remind I mean subconsciously - by flashing the word death in front of their eyes so fast they don't even consciously read it - they are more likely to not be generous to strangers, Christians are more likely to be less compassionate towards Jews, they are more likely to be accepting of the killing of animals other then for protection or food, religious individuals are more likely to consider being a suicide bomber - doesn't matter if they are Muslim - and in general they are more likely to be okay with the bombing of another country that doesn't pose a serious, current existential threat to their safety. Human beings do not like being reminded that they are animals that will someday die. Period. It's called Death Anxiety, it is a real, proven phenomena.

Most people think Murphy's Law is "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong." But it actually means "What can happen will happen. But as there are more ways for something to go wrong than go right, it's more likely to go wrong than go write. We have to engineer things so when they do go wrong, it's not catastrophic.

[@Tman001100]

Right...lol. It also depends on the parameters of what "going right" is defined as. The number of things needing to go right that are added, the more likely it becomes that at least most of them will not succeed as they require a fixed system that can be controlled/influenced. The more complex it becomes then, the chances of success decrease. So generally, it's best to keep it as simple as possible and not make things more complicated than they need to be. It kinda goes into the concept of entropy, as well, as "randomness" or "disorder" which is easier to achieve because "order" or "things set forth in a predictable path usually requires some sort of stable influence/effort being applied.

Fun fact, Kip Thorne was the science advisor for the movie (he's THE living reference for general relativity, and gets a nobel prize for gravitationnal waves in 2017... so he's a big deal). That was the first time that they use general relativity equations to generate images with that much details and resolution, to create image of the black hole. Black hole simulation were already done for more than 30 years, but not at this scale, they actually discover things doing it. They had to tweek it a little to not confuse viewers (moslty on colors and luminosity), but the movie is incredibly accurate for the rendering of the black hole.

Brand never knew that Murphy solved the gravity problem, so she's completing the "Plan B" mission without realizing life on Earth has improved. Thus, Cooper is going to find her to help her, bring her back, or otherwise not leave her alone for the rest of her life.

[@gorgejung307]

Life in earth didn’t improve. Murph solved the gravity issue and built the huge space stations. Cooper was going to help Brand start a new civilization on a new habitable planet not rescue her.

[@dlweiss]

LOL, I love how at the very start you're like "this is a Nolan movie so I need to FOCUS" and then as soon as the opening title image appears you're like "oh right, that reminds me, I need to dust and clean my apartment..." 😂 Lovely reaction and discussion, as always!

[@neutchain7838]

Nolan brought Kip Thorne early on the project (still in the writing phase) because he wanted the science to be as realistic as possible. He was very clear on that and it is all checks out until the point Cooper enters the Black Hole at the end.. The fact that Kip was an executive producer on the movie shows his dedication to this really well. He is a theoretical physicist working on gravitational physics. They developed a computer model that based on his equations was able to simulate how a black hole would look like. They used that model as a basis for the CGI in the movie. The fact that science proved them right later just shows what a brilliant scientist he really is. He was awarded the Nobel prize in 2017 for his work on gravitational waves. I have always been a fan of Hans Zimmer, most of his work is just amazing. Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Da Vinci Code, Blade Runner, etc... All exceptional work but in my opinion this is his Magnum Opus. There is just something about the way he uses organs here its almost distracting. It brings up so much emotions in me I can barely focus on the movie. Seen it about 15 times and it never fails to completely overwhelm me its not even funny at this point the whole thing is just surreal. I am a huge fan of original movie soundtracks and I adore a lot of them so much I have them on my phone and listen to them on a daily basis. But this one is really special to me, in my opinion its one of the best piece of music of the modern era. And thats a really high praise I am aware of that. Here is a short 5 mins long vid where Nolan and Zimmer talks about the creation of the soundtrack. Really interesting stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpCbpWWModx-atk It's perfect casting, outstanding writing and performances across the board. But damn that little girl who played Murph...usually child actors performances go from bad t mediocre but very rarely you get one that kills it so hard than this young lady did. Mackenzie Foy deserves all the credits for her performance here, the relationship with her dad was so believable and natural doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I cant find anything that stand out as not genuine. I agree on the masterpiece part. This was the movie that made me a fan of Nolan. I loved his previous stuff and knew he was stupidly talented but this movie....not that many people could make a movie that makes me feel so gutted after watching it for the 10+th time. Even tough I am a huge fan of Star Wars, this is by far my favourite scifi movie lol And please don't be embarrassed for crying, its the natural state of things watching this movie. I think it was quite sweet. I had a lot of fun watching it.

[@tankjr84]

Ive watched this several times, but i just realized that they said there are 6 billion people on earth. So 2+ billion people have already died (presumably) due to the atmospheric changes on earth.

[@kuidaorekitchen5850]

And starvation.

[@Big_Tex]

Maybe so but also this is some unknown time in the future, at least several decades. Some of it might have been attrition as old people died off and birth rates plummeted. Probably a mix of that and starvation.

[@strangebiped]

Last time I read WE'RE at over 8 BILLION POPULATION now this year of 2024! That's a lot of "MATING GOING ON"!! WE gotta' SLOW THAT DOWN.

[@LiberPater777]

There's a line where I believe Mathew's character says to Michael's (paraphrasing) "they realized 'ending' people wasn't a long term solution", so that likely means there was a period of global war/extermination going on at some point.

[@dre3k78]

Also in reality there would be no possible way to transfer 6 billion people logistically off the planet to a space station....let alone another planet through a worm hole. Maybe a few hundred thousand tops. The rest would die on earth.

[@CHRB-nn6qp]

I've been a space nerd ever since I was a kid, and this movie is absolutely incredible. The black hole Gargantua is hauntingly beautiful. More movies need to explore black holes and wormholes as well as this movie does.

[@nedzed3663]

I got to see this movie twice in theaters and what an experience it was both times. The second time I took this girl, I was dating at that time, and she was crying at the scene when Coop was seeing the messages from his family, hard down sobbing

[@Deniolia]

I was crying too. Such a heartbreaking scene

[@Jasoux]

This film won't be repeated. It is off the scale Love your reaction Watching it now...

[@BrastenSager]

I saw this in theaters and I still haven't fully recovered. Glad you've experienced this now!

The craziest thing about the whole scene with Cooper docking to the Endurance, wasn't just that Cooper had to match the rotation of the ship, but that he had to do it through absolutely MASSIVE G forces. I'd guess he was probably pulling like 15-16 G's by the end of the spin, since Brand passed out like halfway into the rotation, which I'd expect was probably around 8-9 G's.

[@pmaximus5659]

This is such a wonderful reaction! I’m hooked on your channel and your personality is amazing!

[@kevinlakeman5043]

You are not alone at all. There are a great many of us who, like yourself, kept our minds (and figuratively, hearts) open to the possibilities of story telling and the illuminating and transportive capacity of cinema to make us think and feel this deeply. There are those, including a great many critics/cynics/contrarian eggheads who actually seem to not only balk about a film such as "Interstellar" as they do so much of science fiction or fantasy, but resent being made to feel too deeply. I'm all in anytime I could take a ride like this. But it's a truly rare happening to experience one done as brilliantly and effectively as this one. Thank you.

[@The1Music2MyEars]

I saw this movie in an IMAX like theatre in North Carolina a few weeks ago and let me tell you. The black hole scene was such a loud low frequency it vibrated inside your chest

[@jacklarsen4]

Yeah seeing this in IMAX was beyond epic.

[@double00spy]

As a physicist, this movie has always been intriguing to me. Some people have asked about the validity of the science in the movie. It actually is about as accurate as possible. The main advisor was Kip Thorne, a Nobel prize winner, and one of the greatest living astrophysicists. He won the Nobel for detecting gravitational waves. I went thru the equations myself because I was curious if the time dilation of a planet orbiting a huge black hole would be greater due to the relativistic velocity required to maintain orbit (relativity) or due to the huge gravitational well of the black hole itself. I could only calculate it for a non-rotating black hole. The proper equations take into account a spinning black hole, which drags the gravity field around with it, making space-time even more distorted. However, even my simpler equations got numbers that were in line with those in the movie. It turns out that the gravity effect dominates for a black hole the size of the one in the movie.

[@CanadaDan]

I have watched probably most of the reactions to this masterpiece but I was hoping that I'd watch yours and not only I was so excited when I saw the notification but I knew it'd be the best reaction to it. I love your reactions, I've said it before n will keep saying that, the combination of witty remarks, emotional, comedy, silliness, nerdy moments, all make your reactions something to look forward to. There's so much I could say about this movie and about your reaction but will just say in the water planet, there was a clicking noise, not sure if you noticed it, that represented every 1.25 seconds there would be a day on earth. The amount of research Nolan did for that movie is insane but def worth it as he showed, before it was actually proven by scientists, how a black hole would look like. All those space shots were amazing too. I'm so glad to have watched your reaction.

[@fabriluccoborlera]

I watched the entire video and enjoyed your reaction to this great movie, one of the best sci fi movies by far! But, what I liked the most was your recommendation at the end: I declare myself a fan of Arrival, a movie that doesn't need explosions, shots, or aliens trying to harm us; With its script, performances, music and plot twist, it is one of the best I have ever seen in my life. Anyway, here you have a new fan :) greetings from Argentina! ♥️

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

Creating the VFX for that black hole actually contributed to science, discovering new things about how black holes work.

[@kratosGOW]

It's more of a realization by scientists than a contribution of raw data to science. All they did for this VFX was plug in some numbers from a physicist about relativity. Don't get me wrong: it's awesome to have an accurate depiction of a black hole!

[@VColossalV]

@@kratosGOW Saying it like that undermines the achievement, I think, of course it was a little more than plugging in some numbers. If I'm not mistaken the shots of the black hole took months to render. There's even peer-reviewed papers that discuss this movie.

[@kratosGOW]

@@VColossalV It did take a lot of data to process and render the black hole, yeah. The end product could have inspired some ideas about the workings of a black hole within the scientific community, I agree. I'm willing to accept that.

[@giancarlog8653]

Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Lathe of Heaven", a novel published in 1971, explores the idea that we are living a reality shaped by the dreams of others. It's been made into a TV movie for PBS in 1980 and re-made years later. Not available on streaming services but I managed to snag the DVD (and the book) from Amazon.

[@SFox-if9id]

They re-made the movie not long ago, but the original PBS movie is still my favorite. It's definitely a 70's sci-fi, but in the good ways.

The original is excellent, if you don’t mind the low budget aspects of the production. Very thought provoking.

[@charlesdroidable]

Thank you for talking about the Arrival and that your regret seeing it before you started the channel. Well done, you have integrity. Sometimes as viewers we are left to question whether a reaction is actually a revisit for the sake of views. Your stock just got a big bump in my book.

[@shawnf6970]

I feel this is the magnum opus for both Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer.

[@Chesskin]

This movie packs so much. The documentary vibe is because it's from a real documentary on pbs by Ken Burns called "the dust bowl "... that really happened in the 1930s due to planting and irrigation practices. (It's really a good watch). Then the fact that those cornfield scenes weren't fake. They bought farm land to shoot on... harvested and sold the corn... (if I remember correctly). Like... there's SO much to this movie. But definitely look up the dust bowl. I think it should be required viewing. Best wishes... great channel.

[@crispy_338]

Also, the crazy thing about the water planet from Romilly’s perspective is that the ranger would seem to slow down faster and faster as it moved away from the Endurance until it basically stopped. You wouldn’t notice it had moved until years later

[@mr.hotpockets2470]

Film student here: at 48:18 the "dubbing" over of the lines is called ADR which stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement. How it's done is the actor is brought into a recording studio during post-production, they stand in a booth with a monitor and microphone and they watch the scene on screen and then recite the lines that need to be replaced. This is done when the audio recrded on set isn't good enough or there was some other issue with the audio in the shot. It is extremely challenging for both the actor who has to give the same energy, cadence, tone, etc (this is usually done a long time after shooting), and also the sound engineer who has to recreate the same sound environment and effects, matching things like echo, reverb and room tone (audio recorded on set with multiple microphones will sound way different then a single microphone right in front of the subject in a sound proof booth). The ironic thing about ADR is though the first letter stands for automated, there isn't a single automated thing about it xD! Also fun fact about movies: While dialogue is mostly captured on set and used in the final cut, practically every single other sound you hear in a movie is created in post-production. Everything from a gunshot and door slams to clothes rustling and footsteps. Sound is the main reason why films take so long to make.

Hans Zimmer created the themes for this film without seeing it. He didn't even know it was a sci-fi epic. Nolan told him it was about a man who had to leave his family, and he developed the musical motifs on that basis.

Fun fact: Murph's watch wasn't a production watch by Hamilton at the time Interstellar was filmed; it was made specifically as a prop plot device. But since then, Hamilton has released two versions, one in a 42mm case, and another in 38mm. On the seconds hand of the 42mm variant, "Eureka" is printed in morse code. These watches are affectionately known as the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical "Murph".
