r/interstellar

Gotta be the 4th or 5th time I wake up to this zombie movie. Why is there never a repeat option on streaming sites ?

I just woke up with strange urge to make my girlfriend watch that beyond this universe movie from Nolan, as she hasn't yet (what a luck), but Netflix said it doesn't have it... some movies are meant for infinite license, Netflix.

I just noticed something. Before they use the blackhole as a sling shot, Murph and Cooper are about the same age biologically. The slingshot cost them like another 50+ years. (58 if I remember correct). So Cooper is theoretically 120 years, while Murph is already a grand grandma by the point Cooper is about to eject himself.

I guess everyone understood how the Tesseract works. Cooper was practically the ghost, giving himself codes from the future. Cooper giving Murph the code was inevitable by this point. She collected the wristwatch from her old room and realized what was going on with its second hand. Murph was still about Coopers age at this point = Real Life Cooper still is about to sling shot around the black hole, while Blackhole cooper is already giving her the quantum data (58 years earlier than he actually slingshots himself).

So in summary what I try to say is, by the point the endurance circles around the blackhole, murph already solved the gravity problem and the Cooper Station was already orbiting Saturn. The world was saved before Cooper realized it himself and entered the blackhole.

I’m watching Interstellar again and I don’t understand why Professor Brand didn’t contact Cooper earlier - Cooper has no idea that NASA still exists and he’s a qualified pilot and engineer. It isn’t until Coop shows up at NASA by accident through following the ‘ghost’ coordinates that Brand asks him to be the pilot to save humanity.

Obviously all of them are damn near perfect, but Day One in particular fills me with hope while also putting me in an existential sort of tranquility.

I get that interstellar has stunning visuals and that the message of the movie is essentially a commentary on human greed/apathy for their home(Earth).

It just confuses me that despite the excellent cinematography and near flawless encapsulation of, well the "interstellar", I kinda wish the core message wasn't as shallow as it is. Christopher Nolan did excellently for a foundation that basically goes "oh I wish human beings were kinder to themselves etc etc.

Amazing movie but I just think couldn't that effort gone into something less self-indulgent utilising the same premise of the vastness of space and time?

Just imo tho.
