Interstellar (2014) changed the science fiction game. Beyond the never-before-seen specific effects, it was the screenplay by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan that helped make it such an outstanding movie. Interstellar is a complex and highly imaginative story that does require some explanation, especially the Interstellar ending, which is why we’re here. This is the Interstellar Ending Explained with the help of Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat Beat sheet.
In order to completely grasp the impact and depth of the Interstellar ending, we have to go back to the beginning. We find Cooper, our protagonist, and his precocious daughter, Murph experiencing some strange phenomena, which she thinks of as “her ghost.” Meanwhile, the Earth is experiencing a devastating global environmental crisis and NASA enlists Cooper to lead a mission to find a new home planet.
Cooper and the Endurance crew literally go interstellar in hopes of finding salvation with the thematic conflict of Interstellar posed: will Cooper’s faith in science alone be enough to save the human race, or will he have to expand his beliefs to embrace the unknown?
Blake Snyder’s groundbreaking Save the Cat beat sheet is a system that maps out a complete character arc. We’ve seen plenty of sci-fi “men on a mission” stories before but there’s something about Interstellar that feels entirely different. There are a lot of story beats in Interstellar that match traditional story structure but the way Jonathan and Christopher Nolan are able to weave themes of love and sacrifice within a story full of scientific theory is nothing short of amazing. With the Interstellar ending explained, we can see just how layered and powerful the entire screenplay is, starting on page one.

Hans Zimmer took this film to another level ..!!
Nolan and Zimmer is magic
You are an idiot. The soundtrack gave me a head ache. It’s really really bad. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@hanniffydinn6019 Actually, you are an idiot. The soundtrack inspired me. It's really really good.
See what I did there. If you think your subjective opinion is the only one that is right, then please become world leader in order to save us from ourselves and the differing ideas that make up human society as a whole. If humans thought like you from the beginning instead of expressing their different tastes through various art forms then much of what you see now would not exist. Think about that.
@@hanniffydinn6019 terrible take
@@DragonsFrogs you know it’s true. Nobody is buying that dumb sound track and listening for pleasure. Admit it! 🤡🤡🤡🌍🌍🌍
NOLAN: it is difficult to do a breakdown video of my script
STUDIOBINDER: hold my IMAX
We would love one haha
@@StudioBinder This video should be sold with every copy of Interstellar!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... I JUST CRY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro really I didn't get to know what u meant it....!!
Boc I am indian so...
Could u more precise please
@@StudioBinder The only movie of Nolan's I can think of that doesn't follow a full save the cat structure is The Prestige. If you all get time, that would be amazing to see a breakdown of. And thanks for all this great content - it has been very helpful!
Me: A branded content channel producing actually good filmmaking content? It's not possible.
Studiobinder: No, it's necessary!
Absolutely necessary haha
Cinefix and this are my go too
@Pranav Patel also Lessons From the Screenplay, Filmento, The Take & London city girl
@@nineofive.2573 and d4darious
@@nineofive.2573 yeah cinefix is great
For 45 years I have struggled with the structure of a screenplay. From Syd Fields to Robert McKee to our dearly departed Blake Snyder, I have always felt estranged from the natural process of writing the screenplay. I cannot thank you enough for the visual representation of the 3 act structure and Nolans use of it with Interstellar. Outstanding work. I had the pleasure of meeting Blake and know he would be thrilled at your illustration. Cheers.
Syd Field. By the way: have you, besides "struggling" also written one or more screenplays?
Watching this breakdown almost made me tear up. Interstellar is such a really beautiful story
Agreed 😍
I’ll go ahead and admit that I was moved to tears…especially where Cooper reunites with his beloved Murph, and she has achieved the wisdom to understand and accept him.
Thank you. I am totally wiping my eyes right now. Awesome breakdown.
I've seen a lot of Interstellar breakdowns, and this one is the best yet.I feel that Analysis based on screenwriting is the best way to understand almost every aspect of the film.It's like the one category where every category eventually is explained inside of it, in a very structured order.This makes it not only easy to break it down, but also to learn and apply the same ideas on our works. Really appreciate your content!
I really wish to make a grand scale space exploration movie like him one day🙂🙂🙂
Go for it!
Me too
Minus mission failure, hysteria and mutany
Me tooo
You aint the only one friend. Best of luck to you
The thing with Interstellar is, it gets better with each viewing.
Like every Christopher Nolan Film out there.
I’ve seen it 800 times and it still gets better every time
@@SwithinFeely tbh, it wasn't that good at first time, but more I watch, the more I like it.
Does great on re-watches for sure ❤
@@freddysamjacob363 I can't agree with that. The first time watching it I found it quite ok. An average sci-fi movie. Then I watched it again and became very bored during the long sequences of oversimplifying explanation. This gave me time to think about the essence of the movie which really boils down to Nolan showing off his visual skills whilst pretending to offer a intelligent story that lacks in any kind of thoughtfulness and offers love as the solution to all unanswered questions leaving no space for interpretation or any kind of analysis because it really isn't more than that.
@@StarKillerSith1 It's OK. Everyone has their own tastes. It's not that it has to get better for everyone.
This is one of the best breakdowns of my favourite film I’ve ever seen and this is amazing. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
If you're planning on breaking down more films with the "Save The Cat" beat sheet, then I am excited for this blossoming new series. My suggestion is The Safdie's "Uncut Gems". #SaveSiren #mermaidmonday
Thanks for the suggestion!
I can't explain the amount of culture, info and lesson I absorbed thank to this channel, thanks studio binder ❤️
Incredible breakdown. I can't get enough of these story analysis videos!
Happy to see this right after you uploaded!!!
You're right on time!
StudioBinder standards: No compromise with the content.
By the way, I was watching the "Cornfield Chase" scene today. And hours later you put the analysis of the entire movie. You guys are telepathic. 👍👏
We're humans from the future
I've been in a rut all day trying to restructure a script for a short I've been working on for a while. This video couldn't have come at a better time, thank you!
Good luck!
This is something new. @StudioBinder making movie analysis is fun. Thanks for this and all the amazing videos you make about how moviemakers make movies, the different principles. Thanks StudioBinder.
Movies are just so much fun!
@@StudioBinder I can't agree more. Wait. StudioBinder replied themselves? 😶😶🥰🥰
Such powerfull filmmaking that gets into the deepest fibers of the soul...so emotional it made me cry!
Love this!!! I learn so much here!
I am sincerely impressed by the quality of the videos this channel/company uploads!
I have a copy of the book (Save the cat) so I clicked. 17 minutes later I subscribed to this channel. Wonderful analysis and example of the beat sheet.
I think the opening shot was Nolan telling people, non-verbally, what the plot was. A space ship in/on a dusty bookshelf... When murph said "its my ghost." I knew it was going to be cooper from the future or different dimension. I absolutely love it when directors make movies that are clever and talk to people who are paying attention.
Yup, every detail is significant with auteurs
I also picked that up and I knew where it was heading. Once the gravity well was revealed, it was confirmed that time was going to be manipulated. At that point the movie got a little boring for me actually. Compare that to 2001 A Space Odyssey - the first time you see it you have no idea what’s coming...amazing!
i never quite understood why it such an underrated film compared to his other wroks, lots of people had complains when in reaslity it has one of the best scripts brothers nolan have ever written, in terms of originality and structure (yes yes the dark knight is the best but just think about the fact that the whole interstellar script is 100% original). such important and relevant ideas regarding global warming and space exploration for the future of humanity, which sasdly not enough people talk about. and you guys summed it all up so no one can complain about the "complexity of the ending"- the main theme is literally that the science isnt what important but rather the connection between people and somtimes believing in what we dont necessarly understand yet. awesome video!
Interstellar is the only movie that really convinced me that there are no hopes for victory. Simply a masterpiece!
The emotional stakes were so intense in the film 👍
True, the same was perfectly done by The Dark Knight Rises, btw
Literally blew my mind away after I encountered the Dark night of the soul when I realized as he had to turn back reflect on the 2nd beat. 🤯
Thank you mate.
And just when I thought this video couldn't get any better, Crazy Little Thing Called Love plays in the end.
I see you're a man of culture
Omg i love this comment. 😄
Damn! You guys just explained this movie like no one can. Thank you, a lot of help for my current script
This is awesome! Thanks for these great breakdowns! Please don't stop!
Thank you for making this video!!!!!!! I have never been more excited to sit down and watch something!!
Not even when you watched Interstellar?
Love this content! Could you please do more "Save the Cat Beat Sheet" videos? And more videos on different story structures as well?
I am remember watching this movie and feeling two things: the awesome ambition of the filmmaker; the conversation the movie is having with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Yes, Nolan's own personal tribute
I had similar feelings. But I did not like at all that the movie tries to answer 2001's very intelligent questions in a very unidimensional way (despite the main character traveling between dimensions ;)).
@@StarKillerSith1 brilliant
Thankyou for making this video! It's very helpful to understanding both Save The Cat and Interstellar.
Your videos are so amazing..and the way you break every single entity to make understand is great..keep doing it
Such a masterpiece, history will show that Nolan is truely one of the greatest film directors of all time, let's not care about the few haters
Definitely, he has to be given credit for constantly trying to push the cinema's potential
No matter how great some one is any field, there have always been and always will be haters.
Its just that the internet amplifies their voice.
Ignore them.....
No question that the movie was a technical marvel and it was certainly watchable. I thought the story was a huge let-down, I loved all the in space scenes and couldn't have cared less about the father-daughter relationship. I knew exactly where it was going on 5 minutes in.
You can’t just dismiss critics as “haters”
Off course Maffoo. Everyone has the right to crticise a person or a piece of work.
But there is a distinction between observing something and then criticising it and making negative comments about someones work due to preconcieved opinions.
Sadly the internet is full of people who deride and disrepect people ( writers, sports people, musicians, film makers etc) just for the sake of it.
This is so insightful. Save the cat is an incredible base to work off of.
Studiobinder is more like a mini online free film school for all young prospective filmakers. Thanks and congrats to the whole team💓.
This is fantastic. I wrote down the beats so I could look them over as inspiration. Thanks a million.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE SONGS YOU USED
Only recently in my adulthood have I truly began to appreciate not only the heart of moving cinema, but the composers masterful work of camouflaging into the film and manipulating emotions if done right………very few composers have the talent to pull it off!
Pretty much made my day. Love love love the detailed analysis of it.
Cheers!
Thank you, StudioBinder!!
Hans Zimmer brings me to tears every time. Love you Studiobinder!
What's crazier than the video is that you guys reply to almost every comment, jesus the dedication.
Brilliantly explained. I follow every video you upload. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
this analysis gives me goosebumps; good job!!!
Love this breakdown, I've been having trouble figuring out how to properly structure my ideas and this helped.
I've heard of the book before, Save the Cat, but haven't read it. Gonna try and get my hands on it.
pick up the third book as well, for a more detailed breakdown of the third act
What a masterpiece... Right now I’m equally impressed by Nolan’s movie and this video! Thanks a lot for this, if I knew how good this video was, I wouldn’t have left it on my watch later list for so long! I guess it’s time to binge watch the whole channel ❤️
This movie makes me cry like a baby. Every single time
The best guide ever!!! U doing a BIG DEAL. Thanx!!!
Thank you for putting out refined videos like this, motivates aspiring filmmakers like me to shoot at the stars.
That's fantastic, give us a shout-out when you make it haha
Amazing breakdown! Thank you for posting
I've always felt this film is underated. This video helped me figure out why. It's by far one of my favourite films
I own save the cat, even had the author visit our film school before he died, studied the beats for a bit and people hate the book but it is very accurate for the basis spine of most films. Beautiful :D
Thank you your hard work on this video!!!!!!!
Awesome Video! So much informative 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
Thank you studio binder. Your work is worth of every praises. It is equal to working for script like NOLAN did. Love,
Thanks for doing this. Really great video!
incredible breakdown, thank you for the knowledge
Beautiful!! Really well done.
Thanks for watching!
In love with the content of this channel. Studio Binder is doing an awesome job!! Hopefully we can make films like these one day. I have many ambitious universes planned in my mind. For now the only constraint is budget. Hopefully, I can execute them someday. For now we have started taking baby steps into film-making. We are creating short films in mobile camera with zero budget. Really excited for the journey ahead *fingers crossed*
Actually when I was watching the movie I was very sleepy because of the background music and now in 17 minutes studiobinder gave me the full understanding of this Master piece(Interstellar) and I'm very much inspired by the points and breakdown explained by studiobinder to write a script and screenplay based on those intelctuality of points.Thanks to studiobinder👍👍👍
What a MASTERCLASS!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Interstellar has such an effect that I am crying after watching an analysis video
Fantastic breakdown of a fantastic movie! Just thoroughly enjoyed it showing each piece and where it fit!! It would be fun to see a breakdown of one of John Hughes' films.
My favourite movie of all time!💙💙💙💙
One of ours too!
Agreed! It’s such a great film by Nolan.
Who put the wormhole in there?
@@mikefromlighthousesmma1707 Possibly the Human Civilization in the Future.
@@theprotagonist702 I thought the gravitation was the only thing that could travel through space time. How did they send a wormhole through time?
Extremely insightful video! Thank you so much
This is why I say that you are the best channel on youtube
I could watch such videos through the night.

A masterful explanation. Thank you.
This breakdown is fantastic, and your analysis simply (inter)stellar. Thanks from a new follower/fan

Best modern film ever
One of the best modern blockbusters for sure
I never clicked this fast on a notification, ever!
Everyone loves some Interstellar!
Would y’all ever go in depth of the process of how movie scores are made and how it ties so well with the movie it’s in? This score is my favorite of all time, I can listen to it anytime of the day.
not exactly on scores, but we have this vid on Tarantino's music
I'm impressed with your video on Tenet that I watched next week.
This is brilliant. Thank you.
Excellent: Subscribed!
