The fact this movie is still talked about and people watch long videos on it really shows how great it is.
This movie was no Everything Everywhere All at once!
@@michael-4k4000 Both movies are phenomenal in their own ways, but I will say that Interstellar has had a bigger impact on me than possibly any other film.
It's not even that old. You act as if this film has stood the test of time. Personally, I think people give this man WAY too much credit for his work.
@@danlyons4602 Most movies that get released aren't talked about to this degree for more than a few years. Interstellar has been out for nearly a decade and we're still getting videos like this about it. Personally, I think Nolan deserves all the praise he's gotten for his work, but I'm a bit biased so I guess an opinion's an opinion.
@@ParadoxPerson02 nah you're spot on, Nolan is the standout director of this century imo, everything he puts out is a work of genius
As a father with a single child, who is my daughter, this film hit so hard for me. For one I'm obsesed with the idea of space travel and everything Interstellar, and 2, his relationship with Murph was so emotional in this movie. Always gets my eyes wet when he sees old Murph and she tells him to go on ahead, no parent should see their child die. So moving!
it was way too dramatic.
@neglectfulsausage7689 too dramatic for what?
@@neglectfulsausage7689 It was human.
Bravo 👏 👏👏
@@neglectfulsausage7689no no it was subtle and perfect
As someone who’s admired this movie for almost 10 years now. I think the AI building the tesseract theory is so cool.
Right? I didn’t catch on to that when I saw it ❤
And that too to maybe save TARS and not the human, Cooper. Shows us not taking TARS into consideration during tesseract as it's just a robot but for future AI, he's their ancestor (not emotionally but technically). Which also shows the future will be AI-centred. Its obvious but we're still outlooking at it just like TARS in tesseract. So cool.
We need AI now for work processes when in the future AI will need us to calculate human emotions
Except AI will most likely end us as it would see we are the threat to our collective selves. (Greedy politicians as puppets to further their own power and greed)
TARS was smart af. Very quickly helped devise a ludicrous plan right after the Endeavor began slipping towards Gargantua and gave Cooper the idea to use the black hole and slingshot Brand to Edmund's planet when it seemed all hope was lost. Very quick thinking on TARS end, and when he initially told Cooper, "there's good news", that indicated to me that the bulk portion of that plan was all TARS, and then Cooper was faced with deciding to go ahead with the plan and deciding to whether to sacrifice himself so Brand could make it to Edmund's planet. Pure genius.
I don’t disagree that TARS is smart af, he clearly is. But my interpretation was Cooper mostly devised that plan on the fly. Once they dock and board the Endurance, Cooper checks the status of the ships life support and then they go straight into the control room. At this point, CASE says “Cooper, we’re slipping towards Gargantua. Should I start main engines?” To which Cooper immediately replies after scanning the room “no, we’re gonna let it slide as far as we can.” I believe it was in that moment that Cooper made the decision. He then asks TARS to give him the “good and bad news”. I believe TARS simply ran the numbers and confirmed what Cooper had already committed to, was in fact possible. I’m not sure if TARS would have suggested for Cooper to manually zip around the black hole. Maybe, I dunno lol. What a friggen movie man!
I hope we get ai like tars
Lost my daughter to cancer at 29 ten years ago. When I watched this movie initially I was balling in the theater during the coop misses her life scenes and of course at the end. I watch it to this day (actually rewatching it now) as the emotional impact Nolan and MM capture is the closest to reality I’ve ever seen captured on film. It’s physical pain. MM is marvelous in this
so sorry for your loss brother, keep your head up, you’re not alone
It is that physical and so wonderful pain, without wich we are not feeling humans...
So sorry to hear about your daughter. BAWLING
Agreed. Great film and everyone is excellent. Hugs
I’m sorry for your loss man❤️
Erik you should do a deep dive on Tenet. So many people are consufed by that movie it's perfect for this kind of channel
@@DeepDiveNRyes! Please do Tenet. Such an amazing but confusing movie. I need some clarity. Looking forward to the video!
Would love this!
Time moves both forward and backward. Except for the times where time moves in reverse from the backward to the forwards. Super simple 🤣😅
Loved Tenet!
Maybe just Asperger's, but was never remotely confused in theatres. Was looking forward to captions on home release, to read more dialogue I couldn't hear above score.
I seen this movie a dozen times and I love it! When Amelia goes to get Millers data, Doyle delays getting into the ranger, this delay of course kills him. But the worst part is there is no data recorded because Miller just landed, so getting her data was useless.
I'm confused. Where did they get the data that Cooper communicates to Murphy in the end?
From the guy that they left on the ship to go to millers planet@@peachesnmulder
@@peachesnmulderFrom TARS! he/it went thru the black hole with Coop
There are movies. And there is Interstellar. It is just on another level of story telling. Exceptionally entertaining because it makes you wonder who we are as human beings in so many levels. I am sure that this is Nolan’s favorite work. No doubt.
Watching you tear up just goes on to show how much heart , time and effort that you put into this and that's exactly what makes this video a masterpiece. Thank you Voss for doing this. This video like all others just is a representation of your love for this art form and I just want to convey my appreciation to you for making this video.I truly enjoyed it!!
Eric, (& Vishnu)…I love Interstellar so much on so many levels. And “well said!” I was equally moved, truly. Thank You once again Voss!!! I loved loved this deep dive so much, saved it to rewatch again & again. 🙏🏻👏🏻❤️🤘🏻
I watched a video where someone else makes 100% of all the same points he did. and i seen this video several months ago.
Even tho he literally just copied someone else's video smh.
Who?
88 8 88 8 TF Is Happening 🤯🤓🤯
I cried the first time I watched Interstellar years ago. Rewatching it again after having kids and the impact it has now is immense. Thank you for expanding this story.
100%! I watched this before I had kids. Now that I have two little ones, I'm afraid to watch this movie again.
Doesnt matter how many times I watch it. I cry everytime when Cooper meets Murph in the end.
Same, I cannot bring myself to watch it.
This comment makes me feel old (I still haven't had kids).
It's insane how differently we experience certain scenes before and after having a family. I suppose I am on the other side of the bookshelf now.
Bro as someone that had seen my father deceased by cancer, and my to be spouse by car accident, the last few minutes of your video were very emotional to me. Great content! And lots of love on your family. Cheers!!!
Your talk about your father brought tears to my eyes. A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books. Fascinating analysis!
Erik, this is my first and only KZhead post but I just wanted to tell you that the story about your dad was very well received. I’ve been in the Navy for 20 years now and have four kids. It’s so hard to put into words the conflict between doing what I feel is right for their future and missing out out their lives now. Thanks for sharing your perspective and for putting together this deep dive.
thank you for your service, sir
Wonderful comment thank you for your service
Thank you for your service ❤
Thank you for your service!!!
You cited Scrabble as being visible on Murph's bookshelf, and saying the letters in Tesseract could be re-arranged to spell out Secret Tars, but oops, without the r in Tars. BUT you forgot that in Scrabble, words can share common letters, so Secret (horizontally) with Tars (vertically), sharing the 'r' in both words, would be a viable solution for that secret message. This movie has a VERY special meaning for me. I took my Dad to see it just a couple months after my Mom passed away after a long illness. My Mom loved movies like this and I have no doubt she would have loved Interstellar. Amelia's assertion about Love, "Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space", was a message I desperately needed to hear after losing my Mom.
That single line from Amelia is what took me out of the movie, completely out of character from her and missaligned with the attention to details from the rest of the movie. If that cheesy, cringy statement wasn't there, it'd be in my top 3 movies.
So. It's like a scrabagram. Scranagram?
I know your dad, I'm an S-3 Viking guy as well. I served in VS-32, VS-41 abd VS-35. I miss flying the "War-Hoover"! You're dad's flight was legendary. The "guy" he was flying back to the US was clam-shelled in the avionics tunnel. Great story!.
Interesting point. In addition to being fascinated by time, Nolan is fascinated by his own Hamilton Field watch, which appears in almost all of his films. The watch Coop gives Murph is Nolan's own Hamilton Field watch. Hamilton now issues a remake of this model watch called The Murph. The more complicated watch Coop wears throughout the film is also a Hamilton. The ticking sound heard on the soundtrack at Miller's planet is the actual sound of his own Hamilton Field watch (the same one Coop gives Murph). That ticking sound is also heard throughout his film Dunkirk, to emphasize the passage of time between the three time spans used in the film (one hour for the Spitfires, one day for the little ships and one week on the mole). The very same watch, Nolan's own Hamilton Field watch. In Inception, Leo DiCaprio is wearing the very same watch, Nolan's own Hamilton Field watch. Hamilton was born as an American watch manufacturer, but has since been sold to a Swiss watch conglomerate (I believe Swatch). This one Hamilton Field watch has had more total screen time than Matt Damon.
Mind blown
Wow, super interesting
when you have to get to 500 words for your essay
That main interstellar theme is one of the greatest things in all of cinema 🖤 Hans Zimmer is 1of1, forever a legend
Unfortunately my mind will always associate his name with the face of the main antagonist in the original DieHard movie…. HAAAAANZ!!!
As a dad with a 5-year-old daughter this movie crushes me whenever I see Murph's interaction with her dad. I got teary eyed on many scenes, but the one that did it was the last one with Murph in her deathbed and the "no parent should ever watch their child die" line. I've become a softy the older I've gotten, but the love that binds us truly is interstellar. Thank you for this Erik.
The line that does it for me is when she says she knew he'd come back. And when he asks why, she explains it's because her dad promised. Damn.
@@marcoscarrasco92 my dad never kept his promises but he once told me that he says he loves me through his fists. He beats me a lot
The thing that really amazes me the most of this movie is how realistically the emotions are portrayed by the actors. How cooper can hardly hold his tears when hes leaving his family behind. Any parent with young kids who has to leave home for long periods due to work knows this feeling pretty well.
@@mireadur I watched interstellar with my wife she had never seen it. definitely didn’t expect to cry so secretly but so hard during the family related scenes. I’m not a cryer she’s not either
"Because my dad promised me." That line ties my guts in knots. Its funny that it's easier for us men to lock into the emotion of a story when it's sci-fi. There have been countless dramas with a similar emotional theme that do nothing for me, but Interstellar set the hook deep in me.
Erik, congratulations on an incredible deep dive! I enjoyed every minute of this video. I really appreciate and admire your "thirst" for knowledge as well as your drive to always be a student and remain teachable. Watching this took me back in time to sitting in my favorite college class (music theory) and absorbing every word the professor said. Thank you for not only all the information in this episode, but also for inspiring me to keep learning and to nurture this quest for knowledge that is a part of who I am.
I just rewatched this movie (more so an experience because no other movie in my opinion can capture what this movie has done) last night. There was an interesting part on Mann’s planet. Cooper’s helmet is cracked open and Mann has the “moments before death the last thing you see are you children’s faces” monologue and Murphy is driving away from the family home; She was mad at her brother’s terrible decision to not go to the shelter. As Cooper is dying, Murphy is driving to the shelter and inexplicably hits a u-turn and drives back toward the family house to burn the crops to distract her brother and save his brother’s family. So Mann’s character is highly unlikeable due to his cowardice so we overlook what he says about death and seeing your kid’s faces before you die. But when Cooper is dying, he probably is seeing his kid’s faces, then feels an overwhelming power of love that influences Murphy to go back and save her brother’s family. But she also goes back to her room and because of the influence of love, she figures out the equation to solving gravity. Just as Dr. Brand says before they travel to Mann’s planet: Love is the one thing that transcends time and space. I love this movie’s pragmatism being scientifically accurate. But in the scale of “love transcends all and is an unquantifiable force” is what really drove it home for me. The perfect duo of a movie: science and love. Both enigmatic and incredible. If you read all this thanks for reading lol.
This movie blew my mind when it first came out. I really appreciate how deep this dive went.
SAAAAME. i had to watch it on mute as i was in a room with people passed out after a rave and my friend had to put it on... im not kidding when i say even without sound or subtitles it blew my fkn mind cuz i was able to know the story without hearing it... and for me not having any sound in a dead quiet room it made me feel like i was in the vacuum ofspace. needless to say this has become my favorite movie ive ever seen as it takes a LOT of my ideals of the planets exact future and everything in general about what happebs in interstellar. WOULDNT WANT ANYONE OTHER THAN E.A. VOSS BREAKDOWN THIS MASTER PIECE OF FILM FOR ALL OF US
I cried watching Interstellar......and cried watching you explore the deeper philosophical and emotional aspects of Interstellar and your relationship with your dad. Extremely grateful to have experienced this moment with you Erik. Looking forward to these videos.
I didn't cry during the movie. But I did cry during this breakdown. Because of this video, and some maturation on my part, I finally understand this movie. When you look at this movie through the lens of love, everything makes sense, including Mann's selfishness and betrayal of humanity. It was like seeing two sides of the same human coin. One side represents extreme isolation and longing for companionship (Mann). The other side represents extreme sacrifice and resolve in the face of your own humanity when you know that somewhere out there is another being who loves you and is waiting for you. I didn't get it before. It was awesome spectacle and nothing more. But now that I do, it's one of my favorite movies ever.
@@The_Catalyzt I like how you expressed "through the lens of love".... I guess that's how I try to see all things.

I almost cried when he was talking about his dad ,I saw the tears almost come out his eye and lost it I love ea. Man keep doing what you doing
The best part of this piece was the one where you introduced us to your dad I'd say that your reviews are always insightful on hidden easter eggs, but this one was emotional, personal and goddamn genuine. Interstellar has always been my favorite movie, but your personal connection to this movie has made this video even more special. Lots of love to your dad for bringing you into this world. And lots of love to you, for this revelation.
As a father, you brought tears to my eyes when you got emotional and said "I am my fathers son, my imagination, my work ethic my joy, my seriousness, my understanding that sometimes the impossible is just necessary to get done" is one of the most touching and profoundly simple yet, at the same time, all encompassing sentence that in my opinion describes the line going from father to son and son to father perfectly. The responsibility of a father to raise his son without any real instruction on how to balance the his son's need for just enough emotional support to remain level but avoid giving too much and thus hindering his growth and ability to deal with adversity in life. I don't know if you wrote that or it was a quote but it was absolutely beautiful not only because of the words but your sincere emotional delivery. I don't know you or your dad but I can say this with complete confidence, I'm certain he is more proud of you than you'll ever realize. Thank you.
Man I cried like 4 times during this movie, having two girls myself. Hit hard
Damn i felt his proud
I teard up then too, you're not alone brother.
Your comment is underrated! We need more fathers like you sir! My father won a battle against cancer. He is sometimes far from perfect but still my best friend. Love transcends all dimensions. I know my love kept him alive and I know his love helps me keep what I am now. Cheers to all you real fathers.
@@thehound1359 I have no children and don't want any and I cry every time I watch this movie. Also showed this to a friend who has two daughters and he took a while to recover after watching this movie.
Eric, your dad's story made an already perfect breakdown absolutely legendary. This video is another masterpiece just like Interstellar ♥️
COULDNT AGREE MORE
made a grown man tear up
20:13 "tick-tock" has got to be one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to, it gives a sense of sadness, danger, but it also gives you a sense of safety at the end of it with the sound of naturally relaxing ocean waves
Great video, and great analysis of the movie. Thanks for the time you out into making this and thanks for being vulnerable enough to share that story of your dad.
The 'bulk beings' theory has blown my mind, I always wondered why Nolan intentionally seemed to keep them a complete mystery. Nolan also seemed to emphasize Tars' importance in a kind of mysterious way (lingering shots & Dialogue like "People couldn't have built this"). And of course once you notice how aesthetically similar Tars and the tesseract are in design (especially considering how unique a design Tars is for a robot in film) it all makes sense.
Interstellar is my #1 favorite movie. The story, the score, the themes, the visuals, the science, the actors, and all of that now supplemented by this excelent deep dive.
I like The Emperor's New Groove more
@@Karlach_ 😂
@@d-emprahexpects849 Interstellar is trying to hard, ENG knows what it is.
This was amazing! Great movie, and great explanations. Books, time, and space=past,present,future. Your heartfelt words of your dad was beautiful to hear. Every parent wants their children to feel safe! Your analysis of this movie was the coolest thing I have watched in some time. Thank you!
I think this movie should be given the title greatest movie of all time. Its just so advanced and intricate with every detail. Incredible story with somehow even better visuals
Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time. This is one of the best deep dives and frankly one of the best movie analysis I've ever seen. The incorporation of your dad's story and how it helped you resonate even more to this film is absolutely beautiful and watching you tear up about it also made me. But oh my God, ERIK YOUR THEORY!! About how the future beings are descendants of Tars!! You brilliant man!!! Bravo!!! That is GENIUS and I kid you not, I actually yelled from excitement lol
How do you compare to Stanley Kubrick's 2001 ?
imo interstellar says everything 2001 did but with more heart and delicacy. i don't ever feel the need to revisit 2001
Wow i love you
hah! i feel better knowing i wasn't alone in yelping at that part of the theory 😂
Thank you. I think it may be my favorite film of all time as well.

thank you for this overview!
No, 13:47 is Burned Notion
Thanks so much for putting this together… hands-down one of my favorite movies (and soundtracks), you really did it right. And kudos to your homage to your dad- mine (Cmdr. Hugh Doyle) is a 22-year Navy vet (was involved in the ‘75 Vietnam evacuation and was part of both “Last Days in Vietnam” and “The Lucky Few” documentaries)… very well done on many levels. 😊
Well… I break down and cry repeatedly whenever I watch this film, so I love that you reveal all the secret sincerity buried in its fabric! I appreciate your sharing of your own papa story, with a father who stayed with you - it brought me to tears as well(!). Thank you for delving so deep. I just hope it doesn’t ruin my next viewing of Interstellar 😇🤗. I had already found that knowing the outcome causes even more breakdowns during viewing🤪! It is comforting to know that the makers of this film were immersed enough to infuse the very threads with meaning, making the cloth a masterpiece of the mind, body and Spirit! Thanks so much for posting your collection of treasures!!!
Wow, best analysis ever. For us dads, this movie touched something deep. Clearly, it did for you in regard to your dad. The part that hit me the hardest was when Cooper realizes they didnt' pick him but his daughter. I have a daughter and this touched me very deeply. I don't think there will ever be another movie like Interstellar.
I couldn't have said it BETTER !! _Well_ *DONE* 👍‼
Yet they used him to talk to his daughter. He was very revelant as without the books an dust lines he made , challenged her to find meaning before he ever left home. Then she'd be thinking her room was haunted as a kid all her life.
Show us on the doll where it touched you
I have seen this movie 25+ times. I (mistakenly) didn’t watch this deep dive because every “breakdown” video I’ve seen never told me anything new that I didn’t already know about the movie….. boy oh boy was that a mistake. This is the greatest breakdown/deep dive I’ve seen. Thank you for taking the time to do all the studying needed to deliver this info. Interstellar has been my #1 favorite movie ever since I saw it in IMAX on release day. Again, incredible work! And incredible video! I wonder what Christopher Nolan would think of this video.
Yes, this deep dive is amazing!!! I learned and understood so much more than I thought I already knew.
The fact you can relate movies to real life experiences is amazing! Emotional yet amazing.
Truly Amazing stuff! Both your deep dive into the movie and work by the film crew on the books that are referenced so well to the movie. Can’t believe so much thought and detail is put into a movie that even the books picked out mostly in background have meaning. Great work and thank you for your time in putting this together and showing the intelligence of everyone who worked on this movie.
Absolutely agree . Very RARELY do we EXPERIENCE exposition AS ART as thoroughly as we experienced with this movie , and this deep-dive clarified for ME so many things that shook me to my core so much that I haven't been able to return to it since my first watching . Thanks 👍!
“Because my daddy told me”, by Murph in the hospital, caused me to change how I see my daughter and reinforced my devotion to her. What a brilliant movie.
This was kind of like watching it for the first time! Loving these deep dives, thanks Erik and everyone who works on this channel.
Some people just be hating on Nolan just because he's so loved. Get a grip of reality guys, he's the genius of our time, and this movie will stand for decades to go.
Really want to thank THE DEEP DIVE sincerely for this video but also maybe more so for the deep dive you've done about the specific books that are pushed out of Murph's bookcase, their titles and their relevance. Its taken me since this film was released until now (on about the 15th watch ) to fully wrap my head around the totality of Nolan's efforts and probably wouldn't have got there without your help. I knew this film would pay-off eventually and thanks to your work it has. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.
The "No Time for Caution" scene felt so powerful the first time I saw it, as if I was being blown back by an incredibly strong force or wind, and thanks to the marvelous score from Zimmer, brought tears to my eyes. I've seen the movie many times since, yet that scene is still just as powerful as it was the first time seeing it. This movie, without a doubt, is my favorite of all time so far. At least until we get to see Oppenheimer here shortly...
Got so many eye rolls from my gf playing that song when backing my car into a tight space 😂 good times
I agree. This movie was orchestrated so beautifully. I have a great love for space, science and thought provoking ideas. I also love the score so much that I frequently listen to it on Spotify. It never fails to move me.
CMON TARS
What did you think
Eric I’m a vet too. I wonder if my kids felt that way when I was deployed. I have a new found love for this film thanks to you. You are awesome and I am such a huge fan of everything you do. Thank you and please don’t ever stop. ❤
Thank you LeRoy for your service and your sacrifice!
Yo, I’ve watched your videos for a long time and this is by far the best video I’ve seen!! Thanks 🙏🏽
This film touched my LOVE buttons very deeply...I've watched it countless times, and it shows how love has a profound connection that binds un humans, down to the core.
Wow, thus made me so emotional. My dad served in the Air Force for 27 years. The year I was born, 1990, he was in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm. My childhood is riddled with moments of him leaving. Specifically, I remember his deployment after September 11th and the fear I had that my hero would never come home. I'm thankful he always did make it home to us and that I still get time with him. I am, proudly, my father's daughter. ❤ I love you, pop. Thank you.
I moved to France 7 years and very quickly realized that it was a terrible choice. I've been lost for better part of 5 years not really understanding what all this is about until I found your channel. I know it sounds ridiculous but its given me a small sense of community and now I know what it is I want to do and I realized how important movies are for me in expressing human emotions and how important it is for me to create. I've started writing stories and it is a challenge because of life and trying to take care of my family but your channel always reminds me of the connection I want to share with others. Thanks Eric!
Do speak decent French? If not they will just treat you like a tourist...
The french are the most unfriendly kuntz ever
By lost, do you mean alone?
@@barnabybot I'm not alone, in fact I have a beautiful family whom I feel I'm failing because I'm not my best self. I'm torn between my familial responsibilities and my needs.
@@rhyswilliams4893 yeah I do but the French culture shocked me in ways I wasn't expecting and I'm from Texas, so that's saying something.
Few movies bring me to tears. Actually quite a few films bring me to tears but interstellar was the strongest tear jerker.
This breakdown was great. Helped me to further understand & enjoy a movie I’ve always felt a strong emotional connection to.
I remember watching this movie in IMAX and my mind was blown when it came to the black hole scene...also realizing that Miller's planet was a water planet and seeing the mountain of water gave me mad anxiety...what a visual and storytelling masterpiece. Enjoyed the deep dive.
I love visual scenes like that in movies/shows. I got the water waves in interstellar , the sky diving scene in Godzilla , the sandworm scene in Dune , guitar scene in stranger things ,got a wholeee list of em
I wish I could watch it in theater!
Erik you’re such an incredible host it inspires me. They way you’re able to be vulnerable in front of potentially hundreds of thousands is beautifully admirable. Thank you for sharing such an intimate story with us, I never thought I would be this moved and hugely inspired by a film breakdown. Can’t wait to see what this wonderful channel has in store!
You rocked this HUGE! Very nice, subbed and a big thanks for your dad’s service.
Wow. This was really good!! Please keep up the amazing work!
I wouldn't have thought a documentary into the books of Interstellar would choke me up. Each revelation makes me appreciate the movie exponentially more. Thank you for creating this breakdown.
sometimes i poop my pants on purpose.... mainly in public, its a feeling of excitement that i could get caught and it makes me feel alive that aspect of it, i usually do it on the subway then walk through the carriages, sometimes i do it alone in my apartment tho but its not as enjoyable as around others, kinda gives me a comfortable feeling or a sense of relaxation aswell
One of the best break down/deep dives I’ve ever seen. Interstellar is the only movie in my 30+ years of life that messed me up for about a week after watching it. Had me thinking and rethinking things over and over 😂
Yeah - ME _TOO !!_ 👍‼
Me too, a good few days if not a week, and I saw the movie with my daughters...I'm glad they could walk me home.
Read the “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” series if you enjoyed Interstellar.
wow, i have watched so very many videos on this film, but this one really blows the others away!!! it really is a deep dive masterpiece about this interstellar masterpiece! thanks so very much for all the hard work you put into this!!
This is the best interstellar analysis ive seen so far and ive watched many. You brought so many new things to my attention
100% one of my fav all time movies
Absolutely! I voted for it this video. Been waiting patiently so glad it's finally here!
@@tylerfarris2364 yeah ikt
The first time I watched this movie was a few months back, it was such an amazing film and made me cry on multiple occasions. I haven’t seen all of Nolan’s films but this one is definitely one of his best in my opinion. I listen to the score sometimes when I’m cooking or cleaning because of how calming it can be.
yes the music is transcendent....i start to tear up even hearing the music
Thank you for that Deep Dive. This is one of my all time favourite movies. Keep making this kind of content! Bless you
This is the first time I've watched one of your "Deep Dives" and was impressed by the amount of work that must go into one of these video's! Thanks for the fun...
As a father who raised two children on my own, since they were little this movie is so amazing and difficult for me to watch. When Cooper screams at himself to stay, I make the same face he does! I think you have inspired me to watch it again soon. So powerful and well made with a lot to offer in science and hunanity.
Same
My reaction EXACTLY 👍‼
It very effectively summarizes the sensation of loving something so much, that seeing it hurt fills your whole being with a pain that is impossible to prepare yourself for. And also, the acceptance that our love is selfish- we can find ourselves unwilling to sacrifice because of our fear of losing what we love, even if the ones we love most will die if we do not say goodbye. He wants so much to stay with his family, to see them grow old, and to die in his bed surrounded by his loved ones… but if does, nearly everything will perish and humanity will struggle through hundreds of thousands of years of close calls, foolish conflicts, and preventable destruction, time and time again. Trillions of future human lives will know only pointless suffering, in the pursuit of the secret arcane knowledge needed to evacuate the human form and achieve the construction of a machine so advanced and powerful that it can only exist in a space where time does not
Wow... just wow. I've always loved this movie but this deep dive just makes it even better! Keep up the great work!
What an amazing episode! Thank you very much for such a thorough deep dive. Interstellar is one of my top 3 movies. I really appreciate your diligence on this. And a big thank you to your father and his service.
I was so shocked watching the scene where Cooper falls into the 5th dimension, in Murph's book room. It send shiver down my spine. And the sound effect of Hans Zimmer is best as ever, makes it even more emotional, especially when Coppper sees Murph right there but he is trapped and couldnt reach out to her 😢😢
I loved the sentimentality of you talking about your father Erik. It spoke to me, and it reminded me of my father who was 51 when I was born in 1972. He was a WWII veteran who volunteered to go instead of being drafted, because he knew he was making the world safer for me even though he was treated differently than his white counterparts. I am forever grateful for his and your father’s service to this country.
War is a racket.
I used to be that guy that would always get on the hate train and find stuff to complain about. You were one of the very few people that made me love movies for what they are and now I find myself understanding how lucky we are to have such a passionate person share their joy with us. Thank you for you service, Mr. Voss, for you may not be in the wars our nations wage against one another, but you fight against a bigger threat our last few generations have struggled against.
great insightful comment
I recently caught your videos, and I have to tell you, these deep dives make me want to return to films and have a more critical eye upon rewatch. Incredible job!
The most Beautifully made Video I have ever seen on KZhead. Both indepth and personal. Excellent job. Thank you for this experience...
I like that you briefly mentioned a 3rd-dimensional being cannot fathom a 4th-dimensional being. I remember watching a demonstration of the gamer looking over the Pac-Man arcade game depicting how Pac-Man was a 2-dimensional being and could not ever be aware of the Z-Space that the gamer exiexisted in. Great work. This is by far my favorite movie.
3rd-dimensional beings actually can fathom 4th dimensional beings once they understand quaternions.
Never since the first MATRIX was a movie so much in need of "Deep dive" analytics. Very well done Eric! I´d just like to add one thing: 37:53 "The bulk" most likely is refering to AdS/CFT correspondance discoverd by Juan Maldacena in 1998. According to the holografic principle the Universe could be the 3 dimensional projection - "boundary" - of a 4 dimensional space called the "bulk". (Remember that a physics nobel laureate participated in the making?)
Dude, I watch a lot of your videos but this was on another level. A great watch.
Awesome video my friend bravo on this one definitely mad my day I appreciate everything you’re doing keep it up till next time never go silent
BRILLIANT BREAKDOWN! I love this movie but had never heard anyone else do a break down of the contents of the bookcase, which of course is so important to the symbology of the movie. Thank you so much, this has filled in so much more of my understanding of this movie.
This film is an incredibly layered and textured pieces of art that will endure. One of my favorites. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself and the authenticity of your motivation, Eric. Thank you for all of your energy and enthusiasm that has contributed to so many smiles for so many people. Cheers to continued success.
The Best! My eyes are opened. I had so many questions after the movie, thank you for making these connections.
Incredibly well-done analysis. Thank you for all of the insight!
My favorite breakdown you've done so far and one of your best videos. The sentiment to your father was beautiful & the theory about TARS, is genius.
I watched Interstellar 4 times in theaters and wept every time. Thank you for putting this analysis together, so many details I’ve never noticed and never seen pointed out anywhere else. Bless you!
Favorite movie. Awesome analysis. You're great, Erik. Subscribed.
DO NOT APOLOGIZE! This was one of the single best moments in any KZhead video I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing this part of your life!
Interstellar is, by far, my favorite movie of all time. As a mom to a young daughter that acts much like Murph, and having a dad that recently passed away, who showed his love for me by pushing me to think scientifically and analytically and to be fiercely stubborn...this movie not only has everything I've always wanted to see in the science fiction genre (so many sci fi books and movies just ignore the existing foundations of science to make a story happen, and it irks me), but the film also moves me to tears every time I see it because of how well it represents the intense love and bond between parent and child from both sides of the coin and makes it the very reason that the characters defy all odds. My friends and family see it as a "cool movie," I see it as a true masterpiece.
This was my first Deep Dive video after being a long time New Rockstars fan with my family. I was weary of getting into it because of other channels that throw up film “deeper” analysis based on loose associations and wild eyed theories of unnecessary meaning, but dang what an amazing job you all have done! Digging further into this kind of detail shows off the enormous accomplishments of filmmakers plus showing how we as viewers can emotionally connect with the story through our sentimentality made me love this. Thank you!
Man, your hard work on this video is ... literally insane. Well done sir.
Brilliant! Really enjoyed all your insights; especially hearing about your relationship with your dad. Very cool!
The wormhole "people" being AI actually makes sense. The whole "5-dimensional beings unable to communicate with a regular human" really didn't sit right with me until now. But of course, me, a human, trying to imagine how a post-singularity being would communicate through space and time is futile.
When Cooper is watching the messages back from his kids, notice how the light flash of the rotating ship washes across him 24 times, which i believe indicates the rotation of the earth around the sun bringing him back into alignment with them in time currently. My favourite scene in any movie ever with such magnificent performances.
Also, there is symbolism in numbers. The 4 of tars (90 degree angles and straight lines) show the work of human hands. Nature doesn't build in these dimensions. The tessaract seen from different angles with the added dimension of time shows the geometry of the 6 with hexagons; which can imply choice, or the choice to evolve or something. It demonstrates the evolution of human creation beyond the 3D. The 4 is also symbolic of the ego or structure of the conditioned world one is born into. The 6 is the choice to reject and move beyond the rigid structure imposed on us by culture and therefore evolve it for the good of ourselves and the generations that follow. It is the universal human journey
That was one of the deepest dives I've ever seen. Hats off to you. One of my favorite movies.
I loved watching you geek out! It's nice to watch somebody genuinely get excited learning.
I've seen a lot of deep dives on Interstellar, this was hands down one of the best ones. So many Easter eggs I had no idea were there, even after all of these years. And your theory of the "Bulk" beings being AI makes so much sense! Awesome video
The first time I watched this movie was when it just came out. I didn't get a lot because my knowledge of astronomy was very low. I even felt it was overhyped at the time. I rewatched it again just last week, 9 years later, after becoming a father to a cute little girl and after having studied a lot in astronomy. I cried like a kid alone in my room.
Just came across your channel. Enjoyed your breakdown of this film, it is one of my favorites. Subbed.
That was a very informative analysis of the movie, but I also appreciated the touching personal reflection on your dad and family. Thanks for an excellent video.
I saw this movie in Nov. 2014, a small theater in Freeport, NY. I went alone, took a few grams of mushrooms, and didn't blink for the next 2hrs 49mins. The experience was truly transcendent.
Watching this movie on shrooms? You’re brave 😂😂
I cannot even imagine the depth at which you experience this movie under those conditions!
@@alexlefevre8226 I genuinely felt like I was in the movie. I left that theater in the 4th dimension
I have to extend a very big thank you for such an amazing deep dive. I know there are many channels who look at movies, but this is honestly one of the best i've ever seen. Not only is it one of the most detailed look at a movie, but of one particular movie that is so layered and filled with symbology, Science, spirituality, human emotions and everything in between. I can only imagine the time & thought this must have taken. This being one of my favorite movies of this era, I am happy (and pleasantly surprised) to feel like I have a grasp and understanding of it even more than I thought was possible. Hats off to you sir and to this amazing movie that I think will age to be one of the greats and also a nod to some of the greatest works of art in cinema before it. Bravo!
Loved this deep dive as well as the heartfelt speech about your dad. I'm also the son of a military man, though mine was in the Air Force during the Korean War. Great movie, just above and beyond with so much detail and forethought, absolutely brilliant. Thank you for the attention and explanation :) Well done, sir!
You absolutely nailed this review. One of my fav movies and this is one of my favorites reviews of a movie.
