/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
So Interstellar is one of Christopher Nolans most ambitious movies. This is pretty much his 2001 and the director has a number of references to that and other movies. Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking it all down and talking the hidden details in it, easter eggs and also the true meaning of the movie and it's ending.
Now you can tell from Christopher Nolan's movies that he's absolutely obsessed with time. It's laced throughout a lot of his work from more obvious examples like Tenet down to more subtle things like his non chronological storytelling. Memento made the director a name and this told the main story backwards so that we could be hit with lots of twists and reveals. Inception had time melding as we got deeper into a dream and both Batman Begins and The Prestige used Flashbacks throughout.
Dunkirk had different periods of time being shown to us and in Interstellar time is almost like a force fighting against the protagonists. At it's core Interstellar to me has always been about a father sacrificing the time he has with his children in order to do his work. I'm sure this is something a lot of people can relate to and it leads to one of the most devastating scenes in the film.
The theory of relativity is laced throughout with time being something that the characters experience as moving differently depending on where they are.
However the idea of time extends beyond that and the ship the Endurance is even shaped like the face of a clock. We can see that it has a circular design with compartments going around it. In total there are 12 of these subtly hinting to us about this idea.
I think the most devastating planet that they travel to is the water one where we learn that the speed they experience time could cost them years on earth.

Spoiler alert for memento would have been nice
He got the time dilation 100% backwards, if time moves much faster on Miller's planet it would have been many years by the time they got there, not just minutes. Nolan doesn't understand the logic of his own movie. He also knows nothing about farming, at least that of corn, you don't harvest corn while it's green. Nolan actually screws up a lot of details, but his movies, including this one, are generally still really entertaining.
Shouldn't Amelia Brand be dead by the time Cooper gets back to the planet? Seeing as the time we enters the black hole, his kids are age x (between 30-40 i think). But when he is out of the black hole, there dead or very old. So Amelia Brand would have already died as she was a nearly the same age as the kids where before cooper entered the black hole. But she had no real medical equipment like they did in the end on earth. Or a decent variable diet. So she would not grow as old. So cooper would go to a planet of dead ppl and little kids.
At 18:20 that scene is a massive echo of the droids plodding back to shelter in Silent Running. A ground breaking apocalyptic sci-fi film from the 70's.

You know it's a legendary film when you can make a breakdown of it almost 9 years after its release and people are still thirsty for it.
yeah really surprised at how well this is done, great film
well said... but whore-y-wood choose vile other films for 'an oscar' as opposed to this amazing film...
Def one of my favorites.
My favorite film of all time.
💯
One of the most significant aspects for me was the brilliant design of the robots that accompanied them in the film. They were so unique and the fact that they did not use the typical anthropomorphic design which permeates most science fiction was just wonderful to behold.
Im sorry, but from a realistic sci-fi position, design of that robot is just stupid. Especially its interaction with a ship. "Being unique doesn't make you useful"
@@redsun9261 I respect that you disagree but if you watch the movie, they were quite useful and interacted as well as they were required.
@@satelliterain It was kind of useful but still looked like the most inappropriate tool for the job it did. I can see that it should have been a humanoid robot, but director wanted too much to be original. That's why a lot of scenes in this movie doesn't make any sense if you have a basic understanding of physics and space mechanics. Its all about looks and dramatism.
@@redsun9261 Didn't they have an actual physicist consult for the movie? And yes, it was still a movie so I get that parts are not considered to be accurate by many. Understably, if they abided by stricter realistic constraints then the film would have been much shorter and not as enjoyable to watch.
@@satelliterain Pretty sure you can do a sci-fi movie without overturning basic rules of our university, which is a fascinating place on its own. In sci-fi you can actually have some kind of magic technology which does it, but this movie screwed up things which has nothing to do with such technology, like gravity and relativity for a sake of adding more drama. It kind of breaking its own rules when director wants it, while trying hard to look scientifically correct. Physicist consult can only do as much as director allows him to.
the music playing with the docking scene is incredible. Zimmer did such a fine job with this movie. you really feel every single scene.
It's my favorite part the lead up and conclusion. Thought the ocean plant was also epic as well! The music was so glorious at the theater how loud and just blew me away and walking to the car after I looked up to the sky and said wow!
This movie has been the only one I've ever watched where I was literally on the edge of my seat, wringing my hands, and feeling butterflies and I 100% feel that the amazing score was a major part in it.
No time for caution
I could listen to this track live twice on concerts. Once in Dublin 2017, then Manchester 2022. Zimmer is the king of music.
I love docking
I remember thinking deeply about the implications of traveling to the planet to have 25 years pass in a span of minutes. You literally have to face the fact all at once that you missed 25 years of your children’s lives. I specifically remember the moment my wife and I walked out of the movie theater after seeing Interstellar and looking at each other and saying “Wow I don’t think a movie has ever affected me so profoundly as that one”.
Same. I feel you on that. I couldn't imagine missing out on all of my daughters funnest years. The worst part is they weren't even supposed to be there that long. Brand messed up and costed Cooper a lot of time with his children. They were only supposed to be there a few minutes which would've worked out to a few months. Not 23 years.
@@DracoPadillawait im still confused how did brand mess up on the planet
@@april19th Because Cooper was telling her to leave the data, but she went after it. Causing the giant wave to hit their ship and water log it and get that other guy killed. So they had to wait for the water to drain from the engines. It costed them a lot of time.
@@april19thshe was tryna get the recorder but she then got stuck under the debris causing them to spend more time on the planet because their engines wouldnt work bc the wave hit them.
What’s stupid was trying to get the data. There is no data. They landed, died, just leave
If this movie gets re-released on theaters, I will not ever miss the chance to rewatch it. Especially on IMAX.
Do you live anywhere near London?
@@SR009s yes
@@thomastovornik9987 ah, well if you were interested in seeing interstellar in 70mm, I know that the Prince Charles cinema in London has multiple showing of it this month.
@@SR009s aight bet
I'd drop so much acid before watching 👁👄👁
The body floating in the water on Miller’s planet must be Doyle. This is because Miller was part of the first mission which wore suits with orange outlines. The suit floating in the water does not, so it must be Doyle.
Finally!!! I always thought it was Doyle as well. Thx for the confirmation.
@@kelly2flyisn't Doyle still in the ship though at that point?
So as they are coming in to land Doyle is on the ship but they can also see his body floating in the water at the same time?
@@jaredfouts5983Think of Shrondinger's cat. All time and space existing at the same time: life/death, sleep/wake, etc.
@@jaredfouts5983It’s Doyle, that scene with the person faced down was directly after they flew off the planet. It was more just showing what happened to him after he got caught in the wave.
The Son always believed in his dad, he was the only one supplying video messages to him during his mission meanwhile Murph was living life. The saddest tearful moment was realizing they never saw each other again!😢
He lived his life, though. His son became a man - he grew up, he fell in love, he had children, experienced loss - he lived and he died a good, peaceful life. The reason it hit so hard with Murph was because she clung to her memories of her dad. She felt hurt and betrayed, but she felt she *needed* to know what happened, how it all worked. Her part in the story wouldn't have felt complete without him returning in some way.
@@impishlyit9780 I wouldn't say that Cooper's Son lived a good life, Earth was still a hellhole. I'd also argue that losing your child and wife isn't peaceful or normal loss, that's tragedy.
Nothing will be like the first time I watched the movie. It was so beautiful and emotional. Coop rewatched the tapes after they came back 23 years later was heavy. Finding out that he was the ghost and communicating with Murphy also had me in tears.
This literally always makes me bawl my eyes out with him. Every single time. The amount of times I’ve seen this film is wild and it will always get me to bawl my eyes out
Cried my eyes out too lol. What a movie ❤
till this day that scene of coop watching the tapes is the only movie that has made me legit cry. no other movie has ever done that, not even that movie about the dog waiting for his owner on the metro I think its Akita or something like that the name of the movie
This movie was on different level.......and combined with Hans Zimmer 's theme oh man makes this much more epic!!!
Fav movie of all time tbh
Absolutely phenomenal cadence, insight and commentary
what? how? it was a poorly written mess with a little bit of good cgi and a funny robot. where did you spot the epic?
let me get this straight..... im to believe that they thought it might be a good idea to live on a time dilated planet and fall increasingly behind the rest of the universe every minute our civilization spent there? no. no reasonable person would think that was a good idea. the movie was a trick and you fell for it.
@@knotsure913 cgi?
The fact that they made a new render of blackhole based on true mathematical calculations is testament to Nolan's hardwork!!!
It's testament to the scientists who worked on the project and later published the papers
@@Hawk7886 especially since the render seen in the movie is *not* the render the scientific papers are about. They got that one first and the scientists had a eureka moment, one side of the accretion disk was dimmer because of the spin on the light from the black hole. Nolan didn’t think it was pretty enough so they re-rendered it with uniform brightness for the movie. So, while the scientists did make the most accurate render up until that point for this movie, it’s not the one we see when we watch the movie.
I'm sure the new render was a compromise after Nolan asked for a real black hole to create a practical effect but it was just too expensive
It also shows how much budget movies get compared to scientists, unfortunately. A tiny portion of the movie's budget was able to fund the computation. The researchers who wrote those 3 papers clearly didn't have enough budget to run their own computations. So technically that tiny portion of the film's budget was able to fund 3 research teams.
I just figured they got the design from some kindergarten art projects.
What made this movie so emotional ,was that it made humanity seem so small in the grand scheme of the Universe and all of the unknowns yet to be discovered or never to be discovered. Realizing that all of our Earthly relationships and the love that we experience is extremely short lived as the Universe continues to exist and change. We are simply passengers on a ride that we have zero control over.
@@BMBMBM82733 And rightfully so. Humans aren't important. We're self-important. We BELIEVE that we are important because we're the only beings like us that we know about. However, there are PLENTY of things we don't know. There are plenty of things YOU don't know, either. That's literally why you believe in a god in the first place. If you had all knowledge, you wouldn't believe in God, because you'd BE a God. Omniscient. To summarize; it's fine to think our place in the universe is essential. Our brains are the most powerful things in the known universe, yet are incredibly feeble. Our actions are dictated by false memories and chemicals, which we have little control over. It's only natural to feel the way you do because "nature" is the one in control. Just remember: you, like the rest of us, have NO idea what is happening in our universe. You have no proof that God exists, and I have no proof that he doesn't. Let's keep the peace and work together on solutions that benefit everyone instead of whining about who believes in what. At the end of the day, we are arrogant apes who haven't even cured cancer or malaria. We haven't traveled outside of our solar system, not even passing Mars with a manned crew. We haven't solved world hunger or peace, and we're even starting to revert back to producing nuclear weaponry. We are fallible, egotistical, self-important creatures at the worst of times, and capable of billions of bright ideas at the best of times.
Typical reddit atheist take on reality.
@@based8223 Ah, but you seemed to have missed the part where I state "earthly relationships". Which leaves a lot of room for a relationship with God. Read fully before assuming next time.
@@based8223I know being insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe hurts your brain and ego but that’s the most likely reality
@@dannysha6458 Fedora redditor response.
Good breakdown. What always gets me about this movie is that Murphy’s law is all the way through it. If they hadn’t gone to Miller’s planet first and lost time, Murph would still be a child back on earth when they got back to Endurance. If Mann hadn’t faked his data bringing them to him and then partially destroyed the Endurance causing them to get away from Mann’s planet, they wouldn’t have been caught by Gargantua for Cooper to do his thing and Brand to get to Edmund’s planet. At the end after all those years, Cooper wouldn’t have lived if all that time hadn’t passed where humanity was on the station near Saturn, catching him before his O2 ran out. So Miller, Mann, years lost were all meant to happen for humanity to survive. Since a future humanity created the wormhole meant everything in the movie had to happen how it did, or there would be no wormhole. It’s likely the older Brand already knew this too, so I don’t think of his character badly. He knew they’d succeed, so built the station. Fun stuff you’ll notice in the movie: there are no birds on Earth. You don’t see them or hear any. On Cooper station, you do hear them, so it seems Brand/NASA kept some animals/birds alive or their DNA for the station(s). Slight errors in the movie: on Cooper station when the baseball goes through the window, one of the roofs (the flat roofed building on the right) has a Dish network satellite dish on it, and in the recreation of Cooper’s home also on Cooper station, you’ll see clouds and blue sky out the door and windows. Oops.
Fuck yeah !
Thank you for this comment. I found it brilliant 👏
You seem to have a good grasp on the underlying facts with Interstellar. Let me ask you this. In the beginning of Endurance's journey they enter a wormhole. Brandt is shown receiving a handshake from a warpage of space. Near the end of Cooper's journey he falls into Gargantua (black hole) and it is revealed to us that it was Cooper giving Dr. Brandt the handshake. The problem to me is the movie is taking the position that a wormhole and a blackhole are one in the same. They are existing within one another. Science clearly defines these two cosmic structures as independent of one another. So...am I completely out to lunch? Have I identified a major mistake in the movie? Are there alternate views of these two structures? Any light you can shine on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@@KZheadr-mc2elBut thats the thing, no one really knows whats inside a black hole. There's a possibility it could be a wormhole. We will never know unless something like the movie happens and tells us whats in a black hole
Nobody knows what’s inside black holes, just intelligent guesses
I'm late, but I think it's important that Brand states love transcends time and space, and she loved Edmunds and was drawn to his planet. The others resist that hypothesis and go to Mann's planet, which almost ends the entire mission. In the end, that transcendental love was actually the correct choice, and Edmunds's planet is chosen as the future for humanity.
I couldn't agree more with you on this! To add more colour to the canvas, you're right - it's very important that Brand made that statement of transcendental love. Another example of love being vital is that we're watching Cooper view and interact across space-time with Murf. Why would he be there, bridged with Murf, and not elsewhere with all of the other impossible possibilities? His love for his daughter somehow manifested in warping space-time to try to reach her. Fantastic premise!
Ironically, had they gone with Brand's decision to visit Edmund's planet, Cooper would never have interacted with the black hole and humanity on earth would have likely perished.
@@MrZebanHaiwow, this is very true. They were both wrong and right at the same …TIME
The love transcends time thing is just goofy and cringe as hell.
I've always found Dr. Mann's initial actions of lying about the planet to be redeemable if admitted immediately. It's the theft of the ship and the story leading up to it and his enthusiasm to make it believable that makes him a villain. Also his disabling of his AI robot shows premeditated intentions to do what he did.
Except it isn't redeemable at all. What if they only had enough fuel to visit one planet and then to get back? Well fat lot of shit an apology would do in that case he just screwed the entire mission. He went into it knowing that if his planet was not viable that was it for him, he approached the whole situation like a coward from the beginning.
@@ocoolwow Your "what if" doesn't apply because they did have fuel. It's understandable for someone to go insane in this case. It's the leaving them behind and not explaining himself once saved that does him in as a character. Frankly it's almost on NASA that safeguards weren't in place to keep this from happening.
@@ryansproviero except they do apply Mann could not have known how the mission was fairing all he cared about was being rescued. He was tasked with greenlighting only if the planet was habitable. Doing so knowing that it wasn't put the entire mission at risk.
@@ocoolwow No, they don't apply because they had fuel and it's reasonable to believe he went insane and lost his mind. It's when he displays the conscience choice to maroon them that he seals his title as villain. Everything up to the point where he attempts to maroon them is redeemable.
@@ryansproviero your moral compass needs some major reworking
Theory time! Cooper's decision to go to Brand in the end is what led humanity in the far future to create the tesseract. If the colony was successful on Edmonds' planet, then the humanity that evolved and grew up there would not only be in possession of the equation of gravity (assuming Cooper had it somewhere on the ship), but also with the opportunity to be in such close proximity to Gargantua that they were able to advance past time and make the whole story possible.
I've had people tell me so many times "of all people i know, i cannot believe YOU have not watched Interstellar yet, after all this time". I finally found 3 consecutive hours where I could dedicate to watching it, and they were right. Gosh that ending when he sees his daughter again got me so choked up. It was definitely more a movie about love than a space movie. And it pulled soooo hard on the parent strings.
The body in the water in Miller's planet that we see is Doyle because the suits from the previous voyage had an orange neck piece all around, similar to Dr. Man's suit.
One of the many idiotic plot-holes in the film. There are at least 5 major plot-holes on Miller's Planet alone...
@@philsurtees how is it a plot hole? It’s just not Miller.
@@harrycooch I wrote a long reply explaining that plot hole, and about 7 others, but clearly the owner of the channel doesn't want people bashing this woefully bad movie in detail; not after producing a video explaining how good it supposedly is. Sorry about that...
@@user-pd6fg4vu9d I said it's a plot-hole. The entire movie is riddled with plot-holes, and there are about 7 on Miller's Planet alone. Interstellar is the least scientific movie in decades. It makes The Lord Of The Rings look like science fiction...
@@philsurtees Good and bad are subjective. To quote the Dude: "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.”
Interstellar to me, has always been one of the best movies. I can't even put into words the many ways this movie has stunned me with their research, the acting, the visuals. I've never rewatched a movie as many times as I have rewatched this.
Ditto.
That's sad. Rethink your life, son.
@@GeronimoPlaz ?
@@GeronimoPlaz You should probably get a life.
I have watched this movie probably 6 times. I love it. Imma watch it again this weekend.
One of my favourite scenes it's when Murph announces that she solved the equation, i can't possibly imagine how much joy would come from SAVING the human race after thinking it was 100% doomed, i would pass out tbh
I really like this film. My biggest issue is the lack of logic from the astronauts (I guess they needed that for a good film). If they were able to calculate how long each minute down on the water world would equate to their own time, then they would also have been able to deduce that the scientist that was sent down there several years ago would have only had an hour or less to explore the planet, so there's no possible way that they could have known yet if it were habitable. Therefore, they should have known that there was no point in going down to that planet in the first place.
Big brain comment.
This lol, even if the data was good there would be no way to know if the planet was habitable given the time dilation.
Choosing that planet for Miller was a nonsensical decision in the first place To toilet seven years to gain data about something that is very unlikely to be good❓ And what if more stuff needs to be sent there for a colony❓ I think in real life that planet would have been ruled out immediately
The data sent was very basic. They went based on the prospect of a basic data. Edmund couldn't transmit anymore data even though his planet was the best. You can't extrapolate everything without a rounded fundamental data
They knew about the time dilation. But they had no way of knowing what happened since the transmission. For all they knew, Miller had his feet up sipping a martini.
I knew once you had kids you would revisit this movie. I even told my children you would. Once we as men our fathers we focus on their future. This movie is such a father movie and it speaks to us on that primal level. Good job.
Ey best dad movie of all time, thanks for the comment mate, happy holidays to you and your family
Works for mums too. Well it did for me.
Having kids is definitely not a prerequisite
We hardly have movies devoted to fathers in a good way. It's not tolerated in modern Hollywood.
@@Hawk7886 Shhh, let the breeders have this.
I love the part where dr. mann says “there is a moment,” and then the ship explodes.
What do you think he was going to say after that?
This movie is my favourite movie of all time. Not only does it engage you in every scene, no matter the importance, but it’s also incredibly realistic and makes you feel as if it were real. This movie is amazing and truly emphasises the possibilities of man. It creates excitement and engagement which not many movies can do, and the fact it was made almost a decade ago is astonishing. Truly one of the best movies of all time
This is one of those once in a lifetime movies, I don't know if we'll ever get a film with this much passion and care put into it again, especially now that movies seem to be getting made just as cashgrabs and sequels and shit
I've always been a huge Interstellar fan. This is such a great breakdown. I've always thought this movie was underrated. I think because it packs so much into each scene. I think it can be overwhelming for some viewers. That's probably why people love it or hate it. But the crew and staff should be proud of their work. The music is beyond epic. It is truly one of Hans Zimmer's greatest work.
This movie was my leaping point as to why I'm so interested in space and despite me being young when this came out, encouraged me to invest in math and science that you wouldn't even get into until college though I was in middle school when this came out. It opened up the idea of the possibility the laws of physics are not concrete and what we know to be true may only be unique to Earth since we have no way to first hand observe on other planets or in other galaxies. While most believe time to be a linear and only forward moving attribute of life, I believe to be something more we don't yet fully understand. As seen in the movie, while still only being a movie, brings up how gravity can theoretically affect time and how it behaves. What we know as a minute here on earth could be a million years or even a fraction of a second in another location in the universe which also brings up Einstein's theory of relativity which suggests time is a fourth dimension and, like in the movie, reveals the possibility of gravitational time dilations as depicted on the water world.
But I digress. I have no official credentials or background in astrophysics, astronomy, quantum physics, or really anything. Just someone who jumped head first into science and math after watching this movie when I was 13. It's really an incredibly interesting topic and if you dig into it, you'll find that a lot of theories are intertwined if you broaden your scope and see the bigger picture.
The story between Coop and Murph is the heart of the film, whereas Zimmer's Score is the glue that keeps it held together. One of my favorite Nolan films and my favorite Hans Zimmer Score.✨
The "Fold paper to explain time travel" was actually featured in the BOOK "A Wrinkle in Time" Published in 1962. One of the characters used her dress instead of paper to explain time travel, giving the book its name.
What always bothered me is that Mann was so devastated with loneliness that he didn't put timer when he last went to sleep. So he was mostly asleep on this planet, so he didn't experience most of the time passing. In the other hand we have Romilly that waited alone, without once going to cryo, for 23 years, experiencing all of it. And when they got back he reacted like "Oh.. You're back.... Stuck on the red light, eh? So, did You buy the milk like i asked?" Other than that... can someone explain the LM-A01, LM-A02 joke?
pretty sure its just the joke that LMAO is a common acronym for Laughing My Ass Off
explained at 24:15
Lazarus Mission - Astronaut 01 and 02.
LMAO - Laugh My Ass Off
Didn’t Romilly say he took a few naps here and there but also took much time as he could to research about the black hole?
This movie was absolutely beautiful, whether it was the gorgeous scenery or the emotional moments this movie had everything you’d want from a space movie. Fantastic.
This really was a great movie, and I'm not even smart enough to get it. All of the references regarding time flew straight over my head, but I loved it anyway. It's just got a feel to it.

@@MistedMind I give you permission to break it good sir
@@SamUHells For the glory of the likes and the beauty of Interstellar :D
the amount of emotion i get from this film is nearly unbearable, im holding back tears just watching a breakdown of it
I just finished watching this. It's a gem of a movie and I'm looking forward to this breakdown !
I rewatched this movie not for anything else but that crying scene from McConaughey. That shit hit me hard on the first watch specially when you realize that McConaughey wasn’t the hero we wanted, but the hero we deserved.
The bit that got me was when he was talking to Murph as an old lady, had me 😭😭😭
Ngl there were multiple points in this movie that made me cry like a bitch. Lol
Learning about the lengths Nolan goes to for his movies is quite interesting, he along with Cameron just get what they want
here's me just wanting a week without shitting myself in public, some men have all the luck
My favourite detail in this film is adult Murph wears Coop's Carhartt jacket from when he was on earth. I feel it really maintains the idea that even though he left his presence was always there
Just re-watched this movie in like 5 years! Came straight to this breakdown to see it has over 1 million views!! My god, it's now probably my favorite sci-fi film ever. And I'm sure it's the same for almost a million people, Nolan truly is just built different.
Interstellar will remain a top of the line film for years to come, for me. Christopher Nolan is on a different level with his dedication.
Nolan/Zimmer combination is a recipe for excellence in film :D I love that they're close friends in that regard and the trust Nolan has for Zimmer to get him exactly what he needs for his movies in terms of score, and of course Zimmer's trust that Nolan will provide him with a good movie to make a score for!
Fun to go back to a classic like this! Would love to see more breakdowns of older movies!
Gonna try and do one every couple of weeks, really enjoy revisiting em, thanks for the comment
@@heavyspoilers I just watched Mulholland Drive for the first time. What a trip… I recommend doing that at some point
@@heavyspoilers can you do Shawshank Redemption?
8 year old movies are classics...

Amazing breakdown. Thank you! I learned so much in this. And I wonder…. He showed Murph the watch and that they’re synced down to the second. But when he awakes from cryo, it’s been off for some time and therefore is no longer synced. This could be a hint that their paths have already diverged and he won’t get back to her in time.
I love this theory!
Just came back from watching this movie in theatres re-released 9 year later. It was so popular at my local theatre they added 4 showings and they were all sold out. It was EPIC! This shows you the gravity of this film lol
My IMAX theatre in Melbourne, Australia shows Interstellar every few months and it's ALWAYS sold out. With time it's definitely starting to become Nolan's most beloved film.
This is in my top-3 movies of all time. Stunning visually a score to die for, great acting and storyline. Can't ask for anything more AND I saw it on Imax when it premiered. 10/10
Dude I didn’t get to watch it In the movies, if I loved it on the tv, I can’t imagine watching it for the first time on imax
The corn was grown in southern Alberta which historically has not grown corn here and Nolan was warned about this before production. The corn did take longer to grow than he had hoped and had to change some of when those scenes were shot. The corn did eventually fully mature and the crop did end up being better than expected and was sold for a profit. Prior to the shooting, I remember hearing in the local news for general casting for extras on a Christopher Nolan space movie. Not much details was mentioned about it so I didn't link it to Interstellar until the trailers came out. On the other hand, when Ghostbusters Afterlife was shot here, it was constantly in the local media. But back to Nolan, Interstellar isn't the only movie he shot here. The winter mountain sequence was shot at an abandoned ski resort Fortress Mountain
I'm surprised to hear that Alberta doesn't grow much corn, given how famous Taber corn is. Every summer I look for the guy selling it out of the back of his pickup truck in Swift Current.
Corny ass comment
@@deedubya286 it’s the field Nolan leased. I’m not exactly sure where it was. Maybe near Okatoks, where I believe the town scenes were shot
They filmed the movie in a place that gives them heavy tax breaks so it is cheaper...
My mother in law worked at the law office on the street used during the dust storm. She used to complain a lot about the dirt that would come into their building, one of many on the 100 plus years old historic Main Street Fort Macleod. There is lots of corn grown in the area but none for thrashing. It’s all sweet corn for human consumption on the cob (Taber Corn) or silage to feed livestock. The growing season isn’t long enough to make it a suitable climate for thrashing.
A lot has been said and written about Interstellar. You can obviously take apart any movie that is out there. You'll either love this one or you won't. I kind of would have loved to have watched this on an IMAX screen, the sheer scope of the whole thing. It's just amazing, what Nolan has put on screen here. It's not only the visual experience (there is no 3D here by the way), it's the story/ride you take with it. It might be clear to some earlier than to others, where it's heading (no pun intended), but it doesn't change the fact that it's beautiful ... and terrifying at the same time. Going out and saying this will be considered a classic, might not be too far stretched, but you still can never predict those things. The deserved love the movie gets on IMDb and other places would be an indicator that this will ring true though. The acting is really good, but I can understand if some people have issues with the ending. But the movie had to end in one way or another. It's the best possible way this could go, even if it's not in our grasps just yet ...
Great work my friend! Obviously your quality brings in quality clients! Love the work and will continue to support your work!
I think this movie has the best soundtrack ever made for a film. It’s simply beautiful. So much of what makes this movie work so well is the music, obviously the actors and directors did an awesome job, but hans zimmer made a masterpiece with his work on this film.
Seeing it in IMAX was an experience. The music was mixed so loud that it was jarring at times, but clearly done on purpose... Just a masterpiece all around
I don't think I'm the best, there are more and better movies including games, elysium, oblivion, metro exodus, deus ex mankid divided, mass effect and much more, just as I said wow interstellar has perrona music haha but you compare it with others and it's far surpassed , zimmer is not the only one who creates quality music
@@Hunter1BMW The key in the comment you're responding to is it starts with "I think" It's just an opinion, you can like other soundtracks more, that's fine too
It’s good, wouldn’t call it best ever tho, because you have John Williams writing the soundtrack of multiple generations… the Star Wars saga inc empire strikes back, Superman, Jurassic park, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jaws, Schindler’s List among others. That’s just one guy, there’s also Howard shore who did lord of the rings, and movies like Trainspotting and guardians of the galaxy that have compilation soundtracks. That’s not even touching Hans Zimmer’s movies (gladiator), or guys like Danny Elfman who have done a lot of soundtracks, or older films like the sound of music or Lawrence of Arabia that are now considered classics.
I wouldn't call it music. At most it's ambient. Zero themes. Boring.
I got to see Hans Zimmer Live this year and when Interstellar began to play, the chills and emotions were absolutely incredible.
It's one of those haunting movie classics that will make audiences think and wonder about how some of it may prove to be true someday in a small way. Definitely a future epic classic.
The idea that Prof Brand decided that his was the only way is a perfect example of human hubris. We know best because we said so not because there is no other way. This is exactly how I see our world ending, at the hands of selfish people who refused to find another way because it wasn't their way.
I wouldn't even call it Hubris, some of the wonders of the universe are straight up out of human comprehension, and can't be understood. For example, I don't think my dumbass will ever grasp relativity, specifically why the speed of light is always the same relative to anything else. It doesn't make sense to me, and I wouldn't know how to apply that to anything I do. Brand had the survival of humanity in mind, and was short on time. While he clearly had little faith, in the end, he still poured all his years into help build the station that would eventually house all of humanity. At one point you just have to be realistic. In the movie, there wasn't much funding, and NASA had to be kept a secret from the world who thought space exploration was a waste of money. It's not so much that Plan B was the only way in his mind, but the occurrences in the movie, and what eventually led to salvation was impossible to have planned out, or even expected. It require things to go incredibly wrong, costs the astronauts who went out years and years off Earth, caused the deaths of many of them, before Humanity was saved. Brand has funding for one space station, one exploration crew. So how do you want him to predict the possibility that after everything goes wrong, Cooper would be able to talk to someone in the past due to future humanity making it possible in order to save humanity. Hubris would be all inning on one idea when you have the means to explore others. When you don't have the option, taking the most surefire solution isn't hubris, it's doing his absolute best.
@@TenjinZekken Here is another curve ball, the speed of light is slower in water and can be exceeded, this is what chernkov radiation is
ok but the explanation of the tesseract as a book completely changed my opinion of the scene as it helped me understand it SO much better. especially as he explains who is the reader vs the characters, as I had assumed at the beginning of the example that Cooper was the reader, but he is in fact a character and the readers are 'them' as well as us. Brilliant example
This is my absolute favorite Nolan movie. I have a burning passion for space. And no film has really captured the feeling i imagine Space gives off as well as this film. And it's just a fantastic film in general. Stellar acting and direction. And it is one of Hans Zimmers best scores to date. Zimmer does some of the absolute best soundtracks for films. But this was the peak in my opinion. It's a soundtrack that i've listened to for many hours in bed or as i was just looking up at the stars. I honestly wish we had more space movies like this. Or space movies that capute this feeling. Doesn't have to be scientificaly accurate like Interstellar. But... It's hard to explain, the feeling it creates.
Wholeheartedly agreed
This movie is a key example of why we need to go out and explore the universe. Not because of any looming apocalypse. It is because just creating a visual approximation of a black hole based on scientific theory has led to multiple insights and papers on the phenomena and the structure of the universe. Imagine what we may learn if we go and witness the real thing.
Sadly we’ll probably never make it out of the solar system due to our lifespan being to short and the fact we can’t really make technology to travel fast enough to bypass that
Is it just me or does it seem like Matt Damon gets stuck in space a lot.
😁
Well good thing Matt Damon isn't in this movie
@@millieprescott8612 are u sure?
@@gojosatoru2065 lmao right.... My bad, I thought you were thinking of the movie Martian.... Totally forgot he was in this. My apologies, foot in mouth over here
@@millieprescott8612 yes , he is in both ..... !!! In here he Tries to sabotage the mission on a planet near the black hole
Thank you for this! Ties up some missed moments and misunderstandings for me! Much appreciated!
I found this film to be very emotional and even after repeated viewings I still get emtional,cause of the many themes going on ,the biggest of course is the family and what it does to the main characters and how it drives the story! This in my opinion was one of Christopher Nolan's best movies even topping The Dark Knight(IMO!)
Inception is still my number 1
@@rupman27isbackinception is great but to me, doesn’t have the immense emotional resonance of this film. Don’t let me leave Murph!!!
@@mrc2662 jesus bet you are the life of a party

@@ocoolwow cringe comment
I watched this is iMax when it came out in 2014, on those special 4DX seats. I was blown away….. watched it again the other day and realised so many things I never noticed on first viewing. This is truly a masterpiece of a film
I should have been better. It wasn't.
@@tr7938 What could have been better?
This was truly a masterpiece. I laughed, cried and my mind was opened. Time is precious after this movie I now know that. Thank you for this
Your works apreciated as always bud
This one is my favorite Nolan movie. Usually the characters in his film feels very wooden. But in this film characters feels very human. I cry every time I see that scene where Matthew McConaughey watches the videos of his kids growing up. And don't get me started on the hospital scene. Best movie ever.
When he walks in on Murphys death bed and she starts crying I was completely cut in half emotionally 😭😭
Too late, I was already cut in half when TARS asked why Coop was so sure that Murph would come back for the watch.
thoroughly enjoyed this breakdown as well. big fan of Interstellar, and have always wanted to see a sequel showing Brand and Cooper afterwards.
I always thought they missed the moment when Coop realizes time flew by and when he's in the room with his great great grandchildren while being the same age as his grandchildren they should have had a reaction to it.
yea that scene was unrealistic to me. As one of his descendants standing in the same room with Cooper, I would absolutely come over to meet and talk to my great (great)grandfather. Instead, we get no such meetings. Weird!
@@kelly2fly I don't think they know who he was. The assumption would have been that Cooper died on the Endurance - his name is on the monument, and until he had been picked up a couple of days earlier, that would have been the assumption of everyone - including Murph (for whom the last contact via the watch would have been decades earlier). My understanding is that the authorities would have notified Murph, but she would not have elected to tell anyone else - particularly given that her advice to him is to head back out rather than to hang around. No point the family losing two members, particularly when they'd assumed one was dead decades earlier, and who looks younger than they are.
@@kelly2fly I think it also would've taken out a lot of the impact of the fact that the main event of that Scene was Murph's death. I think it would've been a bad idea to take away from the core narrative of that part of the movie. Murph having grown older than her own father, so old that she's basically on her deathbed by the time they reunite. That time has moved on without Coop, and that this isn't his moment, but his daughters. Even if the relatives did want to like, go and meet them, I think Coop is the type of person, especially after feeling the pain of not being able to be with Murph after the incident on the first planet, that wouldn't want his descendants to pay attention to him, but to spend time with their family, and spend every moment with him. In a way, him taking a back seat is a way to attone for not being there for Murph, and allowing her family to be with them. Also consider how many of them probably don't even recognize him. At most, most of them would've seen only pictures, or the video diaries that were being sent back. If you grow up for 50 years without seeing your grandfather, I doubt you'd feel any particularly amazing emotions meeting him the first time.
@@TenjinZekken yea I would like to also include these people are essentially strangers to cooper and vice versa. They may be related, but he had no involvement with them whatsoever.
@@mqeggthat we saw. A lit happens off camera in between scenes. Murph is dying, that's the focus at that moment.
This is my favorite movie about space all time. It was so rich in many themes and it makes you think. Nolan is the best director ever in my opinion.
Movies like this one, I have a hard time watching a 2nd time. They're emotionally taxing and I like to just let them marinate in my memory rather than go through the "experience" again. But this review is giving me that itch. I just remember watching the credits roll and thinking to myself what a masterpiece I had just watched.
Such a thoughtful and provoking movie. Thank you for breaking it down
Thank you for a great video on this film. Ever since I watched it a few years back I’ve been watching and learning about black holes, time dilation and space itself.
I finally watched this movie last night and I woke up to this video being uploaded. Thanks for the breakdown!
I cry every time I watch this movie, and now I’m crying watching a breakdown about it. Truly powerful.
This breakdown is nothing short of amazing. Super great job for such a magnificent film.
Great analysis and review of an exceptional Sci-fi movie!!! One of my all time favorites.
This film was amazing, one that you can rewatch and feel the emotion as though it's the first time you've watched it. Great breakdown as always 💜
This was such a beautiful movie. The importance of this movie will only grow as time passes. I still believe it is very underrated. Excellent breakdown too.
Thank you. Excellent detailed study on this wonderful movie. 👍
Thank you. I don't know why, but I love this movie. You did one heck of a job. Top-notch work
24:53, Quick correction. We don't see things in 3D, we see things in 2D. Objects look 3D due to how light acts / bounces from an object. We as humans cannot even fathom what the 3rd dimension even looks like. A KZhead video I watched a while ago said the 3rd dimension would allow humans to not only see an object, but see through the object and inside of it, which our brain is not capable of properly comprehending
Afraid thats not *quite* accurate, we can see horizontally, vertically and perceive depth. Having 2 eyes spaced apart allows us to see in 3 dimensions, that video was not quite right.
This movie make me ugly cry every time i watch it. He never left, he was always with her
I love your channel! Love your approach to the films, attention to detail but no dragging or anything. Perfect pacing of those! Thanks! If I may offer some constructive feedback: anyway you can slowly go and revisit the auto generated subtitles? I watch a lots of clips with subtitles but this one was a perfect example of me turning them off because of so many auto incorrect words. Thanks a million!!
Welcome to my world. I can only access the video via subtitles myself, and yes the automated captioning is awful.
This must be the best breakdown of this movie I've ever seen. Great work!
I was so happy to see you did this amazing film, one of my all time favorites, nice work my friend on the detailed review!
One of the most pure cinematic experiences I've ever had - hands down one of the best films I ever watched in the theatre
Great movie! Thanks heeps for introducing me to it. I'll be looking in your channel for recommendations. Thank bud!
awesome review!! thank you!
Brilliant analytical skills. This is in my top 5 favorite films and there are a lot of things I didn't notice. Thank you! 👍🏼
@@mccleandazza4618 Nah, the last scene would make no sense for Cooper to lastly imagine Brandt in Edmund's planet.
My favorite Nolan film and one of my all times favorites. Me and my wife like to watch it about once a year. So good.
This is one of my favorite science movies. Thanks for a great, fun breakdown!
Wow, massive respect to this! Can’t say I got the vast majority of what you did, so this brings a complete new perspective 👏
That one piano song in the movie is fire 🔥 Edit: along with the music in the docking scene... …goosebumps
And btw I have to mention that at 3:47 the pencil metaphor is actually meant to symbolise a wormhole instead of a black hole 😅
Amazing that there’s still more to be squeezed out after all these years. Brilliant break down!
Wow dude, first time watcher and this is really cool and well made! Bravo!
your point of view since minute 25 AMAZING blew my mind...the book analogy...yes and thank you!
This was excellent and it was nice to watch a video of yours outside of our usual Marvel and fantasy television fare. Interstellar is one of my favorite films of all time and this breakdown definitely did it justice.
one of my top three favorite movies, gets better after each watch. Appreciate the breakdown!
This is my favorite of his movies. Tied with Inception and Tenet. I love all of his movies. Such an incredible director and Hans Zimmer adds so much.
A couple of things to add: 1) The movie itself was actually proposed by Kip Thorne. In his own book he mentions how Nolan and his brother took on the director role after James Cameron (IIRC...) suddenly dropped the film. 2) Matter McConaughey was highly interested in his role that he would actively seek out Kip Thorne asking for explanations on the science behind some of the events (hence the accuracy in how he handles high G spins) 3) in Kip Thorne's book on the making of Interstellar, he includes all of the theory and mathematics used to make the scenes look as realistic as possible (hence rotating, circular ships). 4) Thorne wasn't sure how to handle the singularity scene of the black hole (since no data exists), so that entire sequence of events is purely due to Nolan. It's an example of creative liberties enhancing a film grounded in science. This was such a legendary film backed by a legendary composer. It's such a shame that these types of films rarely exist in the present day.
Great stuff Mojambo !!! I love this movie, love all of Nolan’s work but this one really is the best in my opinion. Looking forward to Oppenheimer
Literally the greatest movie of all time
Fantastic breakdown! Thank you!
Amazing job, well done.
Enjoyed that. One point you mention about the tesseract being a library: I feel that is only a library to Cooper's perception. It's how he perceives the tesseract in his mind to make sense of it. Not a conscious act, just how he is interpreting what is otherwise unfathomable.
2001 A Space Odyssey has always been my absolute favorite movie. For my son, Interstellar is his favorite (so far). Thank you for your hard work on this video!
ive seen this movie so often by now and it hits me every time! it’s one if my favorite movies ever ❤ the emotions are so deep and i cry every time when cooper sees murph on the screen
