Simply put, this touches the hearts of fathers. You'll find Nolan's films have at least two themes going on at the same time. There's the obvious technological /realistic theme, but there's also the emotional and moral theme. "Interstellar"s secondary theme is the love of a father. It's the endurance and the sacrifice we'll make for our children. It will be fair to say that not every man who produces a child is a father. It's more than just biological reproduction. That's why many will stress there's a difference between "father" and "dad." To reference from "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2," "He was you're father, but he was never your daddy. And I'm so proud you were my boy." Our children aren't just our offspring or "little copies of us." You're the new people who got to meet and show the wonder of life. You're the miracle we're allowed to help create. You're our dreams, our future, and our love. What else matters?
I was extremely lucky when I got to see this movie for the first time. I won tickets to the European Premier in London and when I was seated, Matthew McConaughey and Christoper Nolan walked in front of the screen and said a few words before the film started. Once the movie was over we walked out into the foyer and right in front of me were Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne who had also attended the premier and helped with the science behind the film. I never got to speak to any of them, but it's one of my favorite memories of all time! Edit: Fun fact! Hollywood has spent around $900 billion in fictional money rescuing Matt Damon from various situations
@@Stogie2112 really good earbuds are far superior to most sound systems, except the high price range for a few thousand euros. My HyperX in-ears have literally the best bass possible and 7-way-audio. Cant even get remotely close to that with a 300€ soundbar or some speakers
@@svenr.3803 .... You're entitled to your opinion. A good sound system with a good bass system lets you hear and "feel" everything. You're not just getting sounds pumped straight into your ears.
He’s probably the greatest living score composer today. Don Davis probably exceeds him in sophistication, Bear McCreary may be his match in emotionalism, but for my money few are as good all around and no one is as good at drawing a picture with sound. I can listen to just about any Zimmer score and I can just see what is happening.
It was nominated (2015) but lost to Grand Budapest Hotel, which is a fabulous movie in its own right. But yeah, I agree with the tragic part. Nobody talks about that movie's score any more, while Interstellar's has become a thing of legends. Just look at how many covers there are on youtube.
Almost as tragic as Saving Private Ryan losing Best Picture to some garbage ass movie no one even remembers(yes I know what won it and that makes it a tragedy).
@@alalcoolj216 Grand Budapest was a good film, but I can’t remember a damned thing about the score, I will NEVER forget Interstellar’s score. No shade to Desplat, he’s a great composer, but the Interstellar score was an absolute masterpiece.
@@jforester7 Yeah, that year was absolute robbery. Both Saving Private Ryan and Gods & Monsters got completely snubbed in favor of a very forgettable film.
What’s beautiful about Coop and Murphy’s relationship that most people don’t realize is that despite the fact that everyone always thought she hated her dad for leaving, when she comes back to the house toward the end and goes to her old room she’s wearing the same jacket Coop was wearing when he left. The bond and love she had for her Dad never left not even in the slightest
Consider this: From liftoff, two year nap, wormhole, water planet, to receiving all those messages…on Cooper’s awake and cognizant timeline, he had just left his kids at most, a couple of weeks before. And now he’s watching their whole lives pass and his son say goodbye. Just crushing.
I still get teary watching this movie, even though I've seen it 6 or 7 times at this point. No other Nolan movie has delivered this kind of emotional reaction for me so, to me, it's his greatest work.
I already have my trigger points that are so powerful that the emotion is triggered automatically. "No - it is necessary". "We agreed - 90%". "Because my dad promised me".. What a masterpiece
The cut when Cooper is watching the video of Murphy talking about being the same age has to be my favorite scene in the film. It felt so natural to cut to her standing up after filming that video.
This to me is the new 2001: A Space Odyssey. Christopher Nolan is no Stanley Kubrick. If anyone working today is, it's probably Denis Villeneuve. But Nolan did something remarkable with this film and it has so much in common with 2001.
I have watched Interstellar a dozen times. Addie your reaction was exactly the same as all our reactions when we saw this the first time. The sound, the cinematography, time messing with your head, the betrayal, the amazing score, all of the things that make this an amazing film. It was like watching this again for the first time. Thanks Addie!
Best line of the movie right there... "What's your trust setting TARS?" ... "Lower than yours apparently." I am ded. And yeah, Matt Damon was an M.Night Shamalan level plot twist. You know what's heartbreaking tho... wondering who's gonna be older than who when he finally gets to her planet. Or do you think that whomever created the wormhole planned for the return trip and spat him out of the wormhole at such a point in time that he manages to land only a few days after Brand? Talk about playing twister with the brain.
I personally loved "Yeah you can use it (the green light) to find your way back to the ship after I blow you out the airlock." Followed by him turning the light on, rofl. As for Coop, I don't think he'll age much, if at all. The wormhole is likely still open, so he'll just fly through it and go straight to the planet (the wormhole and planet are far enough from Gargantua to not be affected by the time dilation). The only difference might be whatever time passed when Coop detached, and however long Brand (Brandt?) was still in the effects of Gargantua, but I assume showing her at the end and not looking aged suggests she was outside the range of dilation for it to not matter.
One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. And the music. Holy moly the music. For more smart sci-fi like this, you should definitely check out Children of Men and my all-time favorite sci-fi movie Arrival.
As great as the music is, it never was the same after the Honest Trailer for Interstellar "...and experience what it sounds like when Hans Zimmer falls asleep on a church organ (cue extremely loud organ sound)".
Agreed 100% on _Arrival_ - it was what put both Denis Villeneuve and Ted Chiang on my radar and it's an achingly beautiful piece of work. _Contact_ is another one that's deeply underrated; it never fails to bring me to tears (and, randomly, also has Matthew McConaughey in it!).
I love this movie. One of the most underappreciated aspects to the movie is Tars and Case, imo. They are such fantastic characters with fantastic design and used so well throughout the movie.
I still say, his best movie is his first, Memento ! I put this up there with Arrival. Also strange that Murph and Matt Damon also both in, The Martian! If u dont tear up in this movie, u have no heart!also type in here, strangers play Interstellar on piano in public!! George Clooney actually did 2 space movies in the past ten years that were excellent. Gravity and Midnight Sky!
It gets better every time I watch it... because I catch things I didn't before. And rewatching it helps you get a better sense of the time Coop was in the 5th dimension. And at least a lot of it is based on real science. This movie predicted what a black hole would look like.
Same. The fact that he's just about to say something pompous, trying to spin his betrayal and cowardice into a moment of nobility... and doesn't even get to finish the sentence is just a perfect filmmaking beat.
It's also structured almost identically to (spoiler alert) Rachel Dawes's death in _The Dark Knight_ - whenever I'm watching either film I can't help but be reminded of the same moment in the other one! Dr Mann: "There is a moment, [explodes]" Rachel Dawes: "Somewhere, [explodes]"
When I first saw Interstellar in theaters, I almost fainted during the docking scene. I had stopped breathing. One of the best scenes in all of cinema. The music, drama, everything: Perfect.
I've seen this so many times since it came out that I've lost count. But I wish I could see it for the first time all over again. It left me speachless.
This is a top 5 movie of the last 25 years. It's so underrated and was ignored at the Oscar's as per usual with award shows. I couldn't name any awarded movies that those idiots nominated but this one will be remembered for ever.
Great reaction. Nolan is known for somewhat inconclusive endings; although it is implied that the two main characters get together and create a new civilization. Next up: INCEPTION- this Nolan film will blow your mind away!
The idea of the bookshelf is that Human in the future placed it there. They evolved above what we currently can perceive in dimensional space, but think of it this way. We can look at a chair and move it around in a 3D space. Evolved humans could look at the same chair, but as they move it around in their 3D space, it also ages, or gets younger. The bookshelf is the evolved humans way of "Dumbing it down" for us to be able to comprehend it.
Everyone's biggest question about the "They" who made the wormhole is answered by one theory: Amelia raised the new colony who many years in the future figured out how to use (possibly) Casimir effect to create white holes (time-reversed black holes) to then place them at the right places in the universe to form wormholes and also to send such wormholes themselves through white holes (which may be the nearly impossible part) to the right time to allow Cooper to send data about gravitational manipulation to rescue the rest of humanity and bring them to Edmunds and Brand's planet.
I love this movie so much. Everything is done so well, all the details, relativity, the villain twist, etc.. I love the robots LARS and TARS, great additions. Nolan and Zimmer created a true masterpiece.
"Cooper, This is not time for caution." Gives me chills. The power of that scene is due to its direct connection with the proceeding scene. One selfish act leads to ruin and another selfless act accomplishes the impossible using power that seems to be granted from the universe perhaps. To me, it's a portrait of the struggle of human existence. Its the worst case of F.O.M.O. ever VS. Biting the bullet and doing the right thing.
Addie, if you go back and listen to the sounds on Millers Planet, you'll hear the ticking. It's sequenced about every 1.25 seconds = 1 earth day. Also, when you jumped during the depressurization scene... imagine that on the IMAX scale. :D it scared the everyone to death. Quite a few people actually screamed.
I think some movies are so great that we only should be allowed to think about their greatness after some years, to see how masterful they are. Interstellar should've won more oscars than it did, much more because we NOW can see the masterpiece that it is.
Coop and Murph were the same age when he came back. We don't really know but I suspect it was the people on the space station who saved mankind. Coop stole the new exploration ship to go back to be with Brand and help her with the colony.
Hans Zimmer didn't knew he was making the soundtrack for Interstellar. Nolan just presented a small story of a father and child. The story impressed and touched Zimmer so much that he created all the soundtrack based on that story only. It was after Interstellar finished, Zimmer came to know it was for this movie. 🔥
The VFX for Gargantua won awards, and Kip Thorne was able to write a scientific paper based on the design work. The paper was proven correct when the Event Horizon Telescope imaged M82
When a movie manages to trigger every muscle and nerve ending with one word: "Docking". That scene brings up my bloodpressure and combined with the music my brain uses up all serotonin available
Addie talking about wanting to watch Interstellar after seeing The Martian - "The only connection they have is space, the general theme of space" Me - Paging Dr. Mann
Last week i saw this movie on latín spanish and What can i say? I cried a Lot... I can't deny that Matthew Made a great acting but the VA for Cooper on latín was Spectacular and epic, i got goosebumps When i hear him crying.
Recently watched this again for the first time since it was in theaters. Christopher Nolan's movies have always been captivating and visually stunning, though the deeper meaning for most of them has always escaped me. Just now, the meaning behind _Interstellar_ suddenly became clear and it was this: Love will transcend space and time. It hit me emotionally like a ton of bricks.
This is by far one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I saw it in IMAX and it was an experience I'll never forget. Still cry everytime I watch older Murph's transmission
They leased a field and planted corn just to film the scenes with the car and the fire. And with most of the corn not being destroyed, they had a farmer harvest it later and sold it on the market.
I can’t agree with a follow up even tho this is my fav movie of all time i doubt lightening can strike twice. I think this movies story is pretty well wrapped up. This movies so much about love and his connection with his daughter and with her dead I don’t see a sequel having anywhere near the same impact. I like to think coop flew off to help dr brand and they ended up together and raising the colony of children by themselves treating them as their own kids and lived happily creating a new civilisation while having also saved ours having sacrificed everything they cared about
Christopher Nolan movies are all pretty great, especially the trippy ones that mess with the viewer's perception of time. 🙂 Memento, Inception, and Tenet would all be pretty cool to rewatch on Addie's channel honestly.
As someone who has always been into space, and especially black holes, this was "my" movie. There are definitely some liberties taken about what happens in/around the black hole (in reality, it would've torn both the ship and Cooper into a tiny string of atoms long before he got to the singularity), but it remains a testament to the things that we as humans have figured out about how time and gravity work. Extreme physics are things that the human mind, even the greatest among us, struggle to believe. The idea that time is malleable is something completely alien to us as a reality, but that's what the math shows us, and we even have physical proof on smaller scales based on tests done on those we have sent to space. This movie did a lot of great work for the science community in pulling new people in who were curious about the actual science. The Hubble telescope showed us that even people who aren't science nerds love space if it's accessible to them, and Carl Sagan spent his life dedicated to that cause (cannot recommend watching his Cosmos episodes enough). Any time we bring in someone new, that's a potential scientist who might figure out one of those big mysteries we haven't conquered yet.
Edmunds probably did survive a long, long time. It's just that time ran normally for him (or close to it) so at least 86 years had passed since he went through the wormhole. They had been gone 10 yrs when Coop left, he spent 2 years traveling to Saturn, he spent 23 years on Miller's planet, and then the 51 yrs' time slippage from their slingshot around Gargantua; you could argue there was likely at least another year's worth of time spent traveling around Saturn, to Mann's planet, and once Brand was outside of Gargantua's pull heading toward's Edmund's planet, so likely 87 yrs total.
According to astrophysicists, the black hole as shown here is the most accurate version of one showing in movies. Christopher Nolan for another win. Such a good movie. :)
Zimmer's organ pieces really give the film a monumental, almost biblical feel. If the score would have been a more ''generic'' kind that you usually associate with scifi the film would probably had a completely different tone. By far Zimmer's best work and easily Nolan's best film, in my opinion. The way how it combines the concepts of love and time with consciousness of our own existence is simply beautiful. Nostalgia and survival, dreams and persistence. The little blinks of human lives in this place. Nature that gives and takes. We are all our own ghosts.
Another BRILLIANT film that's in space: GRAVITY (Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) from the great director Alfonse Cuaron (who directed Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban and the even more brilliant CHILDREN OF MEN). Well-worth watching!!!
Great reaction! This movie is highly Spiritual in essence. Surprisingly meta for Hollywood. But then again Matt McConaughey is in it. Also check out Contact with him! Sometimes one of these REAL movies slip by even in Hollywood. Forgot that John Lithgow is in this too. Love him!
Spoilers: When Matt Damon showed up, it never crossed my mind for a single second that he was the twist villain. I just couldn’t picture him as an antagonist at the time. Boy did twist shock me.
Poor Addie, You looked like you were barely breathing and so stressed, maybe you should have a paramedic on standby when you watch movies... 🤣 But a lovely reaction to watch. Adorable even.
Another terrific vid Ms. Addie ~~ Please stay on the Space kick and watch 'CONTACT' .. .. You get McConnaughey again and a young Jodie Foster (no Matt Damon, though) .. .. I truly think you'll love it! HAPPY NEW YEAR
A tesseract is a 4th-dimensional construct, also known as a hypercube. It's a physical representation of a slice of time, with different moments being able to be physically interacted with in a confined area. The 'beings' made it so that Cooper could give Murphy the quantum data from inside the black hole that unifies general relativity with quantum mechanics in order to make the O'neill cylinder stations viable for transport.
It was fun to see Your reaction to Interstellar. If You liked the variations about time, You should definitely watch another film from Nolan - Tenet. The docking scene is what I call an "epic moment". These are sublime scenes, causing goosebumps, breathtaking with a perfect musical background. Other examples include the destruction of Sauron's tower, or the scene where Batman tells Gordon who the real hero might be. I always want to come back to these scenes.
When you said 'nearly a decade later' I aged about 10 years just realising how long ago this movie came out :( I remember seeing it at the cinema and was so glad I saw it there.
If you haven't watched Arrival yet, it isn't exactly a space movie, but it's some of the best science fiction. And it's pretty heart wrenching. And allow me to put in a plug for a low budget, indie Sci-fi flick, Coherence. Crazy movie, deeply unsettling, almost a mystery-thriller, but crazier.
I'm so glad that you're watching this movie! I absolutely love it and find something I missed every time because there are so many little details and hints given out throughout the movie. The score is amazing and I always get so emotional when thinking about Coop and Murph being separated by time and space and not being able to see each other for all of those years 😥
I would have loved to see the last scene have Cooper landing on Edmund's Planet and surprising Amelia. "By the way, Amelia, my name's Joe." 😄 Also, did anyone get the line from TARS right before he was to be detached from Endurance? TARS: "See you on the other side, Coop." Cooper: "See you there, Slick!" Amelia didn't get it, and I didn't either when I first saw the film. Their plan worked like a charm. They were both leaving....
A cool tie bit. The clock ticking you hear in the background on the water planet ticks every 1.25 seconds. Each tick is equal to one day passing on Earth.
“Because my dad promised me” still hits me like a truck after all these years.
Agreed. 😭
I can not NOT tear up when she says that. This movie is the most emotional thing Ive ever seen. Masterpiece for the ages
yep. gets me everytime.
Yeah... Like that's the only line that does it in that movie.

Our children aren't just our offspring or "little copies of us." You're the new people who got to meet and show the wonder of life. You're the miracle we're allowed to help create. You're our dreams, our future, and our love.
What else matters?

It's always difficult to choose a favourite movie, song etc. But if I really had to pick a single movie, this would be it.
I've decided my favorite movie is the one I can watch literally everyday...so Interstellar is absolutely my favorite movie.
The score for this movie is just on another level. I listen to it when I'm studying all the time.
Those ticking sound is a day for earth in that watery planet..

George Clooney actually did 2 space movies in the past ten years that were excellent. Gravity and Midnight Sky!
I'm crying 8 minutes into this because I love this movie so much 🥰
It gets better every time I watch it... because I catch things I didn't before. And rewatching it helps you get a better sense of the time Coop was in the 5th dimension.
And at least a lot of it is based on real science. This movie predicted what a black hole would look like.

One selfish act leads to ruin and another selfless act accomplishes the impossible using power that seems to be granted from the universe perhaps. To me, it's a portrait of the struggle of human existence. Its the worst case of F.O.M.O. ever VS. Biting the bullet and doing the right thing.
Addie, if you go back and listen to the sounds on Millers Planet, you'll hear the ticking. It's sequenced about every 1.25 seconds = 1 earth day.
Also, when you jumped during the depressurization scene... imagine that on the IMAX scale. :D it scared the everyone to death. Quite a few people actually screamed.
I think some movies are so great that we only should be allowed to think about their greatness after some years, to see how masterful they are. Interstellar should've won more oscars than it did, much more because we NOW can see the masterpiece that it is.
Coop and Murph were the same age when he came back. We don't really know but I suspect it was the people on the space station who saved mankind. Coop stole the new exploration ship to go back to be with Brand and help her with the colony.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece.
Hans Zimmer didn't knew he was making the soundtrack for Interstellar. Nolan just presented a small story of a father and child. The story impressed and touched Zimmer so much that he created all the soundtrack based on that story only. It was after Interstellar finished, Zimmer came to know it was for this movie. 🔥
The VFX for Gargantua won awards, and Kip Thorne was able to write a scientific paper based on the design work. The paper was proven correct when the Event Horizon Telescope imaged M82
I cried like a baby watching this in the cinema. It is so good written 👌🏽
I've seen this about 5 times and even cried watching her reaction.
Just seeing that you are reacting to this movie seriously made my day
The soundtrack really makes this movie
And the really cool part is that it is a sci-fi movie yet all of that music is real instruments not synthesizers. It is mostly a large pipe organ.
This, arrival, passenger, the martian and gravity all came out close the same time. I guess there was a big space craze back then
When a movie manages to trigger every muscle and nerve ending with one word: "Docking". That scene brings up my bloodpressure and combined with the music my brain uses up all serotonin available
Addie talking about wanting to watch Interstellar after seeing The Martian - "The only connection they have is space, the general theme of space"
Me - Paging Dr. Mann
Last week i saw this movie on latín spanish and What can i say? I cried a Lot... I can't deny that Matthew Made a great acting but the VA for Cooper on latín was Spectacular and epic, i got goosebumps When i hear him crying.
Recently watched this again for the first time since it was in theaters. Christopher Nolan's movies have always been captivating and visually stunning, though the deeper meaning for most of them has always escaped me. Just now, the meaning behind _Interstellar_ suddenly became clear and it was this: Love will transcend space and time. It hit me emotionally like a ton of bricks.
This is by far one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I saw it in IMAX and it was an experience I'll never forget. Still cry everytime I watch older Murph's transmission
"We used to look up at the sky wondering about our place in the stars, now we just look down, worrying about our place in the dirt."
This is my all-time favorite movie. No one has followed what was going on as well as you have. Brava! Great job!
This storyline is one of the better ones out there. There are so many plot twists, emotional tugs and just outright action. Great video🙏🏼
They leased a field and planted corn just to film the scenes with the car and the fire.
And with most of the corn not being destroyed, they had a farmer harvest it later and sold it on the market.
This is one of my favorites! Thanks for watching it with us.
This was amazing in IMAX 70mm
Practically the first line in the movie.
"Dad, I thought you were the ghost."
Luv this movie!! Thanks for sharing your reaction to this movie! One of my favorite movies and soundtrack! Your the best Addie Luv ya❤😊
I sat here for 10min waiting for the dog in the back to move…..then I realized it’s a pillow😂
If you want to watch another Nolan film, I highly recommend Inception. One of my favorites!
The most intense film I have ever seen. Incredibly deep. AND: Absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
37:40 they all died after that last scene, the end 😆
I can’t agree with a follow up even tho this is my fav movie of all time i doubt lightening can strike twice. I think this movies story is pretty well wrapped up. This movies so much about love and his connection with his daughter and with her dead I don’t see a sequel having anywhere near the same impact. I like to think coop flew off to help dr brand and they ended up together and raising the colony of children by themselves treating them as their own kids and lived happily creating a new civilisation while having also saved ours having sacrificed everything they cared about
Eggggs actly
If you haven't seen it already you should watch Inception, also by Christopher Nolan. It's just as unique and good in the same ways as Interstellar
One of the greatest movies ever. Always crying at the end. Great reaction. 😇
Christopher Nolan movies are all pretty great, especially the trippy ones that mess with the viewer's perception of time. 🙂 Memento, Inception, and Tenet would all be pretty cool to rewatch on Addie's channel honestly.
"Because my dad promised me" gets me every time
As someone who has always been into space, and especially black holes, this was "my" movie. There are definitely some liberties taken about what happens in/around the black hole (in reality, it would've torn both the ship and Cooper into a tiny string of atoms long before he got to the singularity), but it remains a testament to the things that we as humans have figured out about how time and gravity work. Extreme physics are things that the human mind, even the greatest among us, struggle to believe. The idea that time is malleable is something completely alien to us as a reality, but that's what the math shows us, and we even have physical proof on smaller scales based on tests done on those we have sent to space.
This movie did a lot of great work for the science community in pulling new people in who were curious about the actual science. The Hubble telescope showed us that even people who aren't science nerds love space if it's accessible to them, and Carl Sagan spent his life dedicated to that cause (cannot recommend watching his Cosmos episodes enough). Any time we bring in someone new, that's a potential scientist who might figure out one of those big mysteries we haven't conquered yet.
Edmunds probably did survive a long, long time. It's just that time ran normally for him (or close to it) so at least 86 years had passed since he went through the wormhole. They had been gone 10 yrs when Coop left, he spent 2 years traveling to Saturn, he spent 23 years on Miller's planet, and then the 51 yrs' time slippage from their slingshot around Gargantua; you could argue there was likely at least another year's worth of time spent traveling around Saturn, to Mann's planet, and once Brand was outside of Gargantua's pull heading toward's Edmund's planet, so likely 87 yrs total.
According to astrophysicists, the black hole as shown here is the most accurate version of one showing in movies. Christopher Nolan for another win. Such a good movie. :)
Zimmer's organ pieces really give the film a monumental, almost biblical feel. If the score would have been a more ''generic'' kind that you usually associate with scifi the film would probably had a completely different tone. By far Zimmer's best work and easily Nolan's best film, in my opinion. The way how it combines the concepts of love and time with consciousness of our own existence is simply beautiful. Nostalgia and survival, dreams and persistence. The little blinks of human lives in this place. Nature that gives and takes. We are all our own ghosts.
Another BRILLIANT film that's in space: GRAVITY (Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) from the great director Alfonse Cuaron (who directed Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban and the even more brilliant CHILDREN OF MEN). Well-worth watching!!!
Love is another dimension to communicate through time
The only habitable planet ended up being Edmunds, which makes the scene where Dr Brand was talking about love with Cooper
makes more sense
The soundtrack just gives full body goosebumps
Fun fact the soundtrack on the water planet; every tick represents 1 day back on earth.
Classic movie. Still in awe. Plus "Gravity" with Sandra bullock is great!
Great reaction! This movie is highly Spiritual in essence. Surprisingly meta for Hollywood. But then again Matt McConaughey is in it. Also check out Contact with him! Sometimes one of these REAL movies slip by even in Hollywood.
Forgot that John Lithgow is in this too. Love him!
I'm so glad to see someone mention _Contact_ here! It was so underrated and just beautiful.
this is my all time favorite film im happy that so many people feel how special this film is to share this feeling with others is special
There will be tears. Oh yes, there will be tears.
Every SECOND they spent on Miller's planet, 17 hours went by back on Earth. For every MINUTE on Miller's, 6 weeks goes by back on Earth. Crazy.
I'm so so excited to see you watch this movie!!
This film is a pillar in this industry, and will be for years to come
I will never forget seeing this in theatres and the goosebumps from that docking scene
Spoilers:
When Matt Damon showed up, it never crossed my mind for a single second that he was the twist villain. I just couldn’t picture him as an antagonist at the time. Boy did twist shock me.
You should watch The Departed if you want to see Damon play a real bastard.
He was a villain but not an antagonist, time is the antagonist for this movie on my account.
That was precisely why Nolan cast Damon for the role
Poor Addie, You looked like you were barely breathing and so stressed, maybe you should have a paramedic on standby when you watch movies... 🤣
But a lovely reaction to watch. Adorable even.
Just wait until she watches Dunkirk (2017), she'll feel very high-strung.
Say it don't spray it, Addie. lol.
Another terrific vid Ms. Addie ~~ Please stay on the Space kick and watch 'CONTACT' .. .. You get McConnaughey again and a young Jodie Foster (no Matt Damon, though) .. .. I truly think you'll love it! HAPPY NEW YEAR
A tesseract is a 4th-dimensional construct, also known as a hypercube. It's a physical representation of a slice of time, with different moments being able to be physically interacted with in a confined area. The 'beings' made it so that Cooper could give Murphy the quantum data from inside the black hole that unifies general relativity with quantum mechanics in order to make the O'neill cylinder stations viable for transport.
It was fun to see Your reaction to Interstellar. If You liked the variations about time, You should definitely watch another film from Nolan - Tenet.
The docking scene is what I call an "epic moment". These are sublime scenes, causing goosebumps, breathtaking with a perfect musical background. Other examples include the destruction of Sauron's tower, or the scene where Batman tells Gordon who the real hero might be. I always want to come back to these scenes.
When you said 'nearly a decade later' I aged about 10 years just realising how long ago this movie came out :( I remember seeing it at the cinema and was so glad I saw it there.
What an amazing coincidence that Natalie Gold also posted a reaction video to Interstellar today.
But Addie did it first so she wins! 😂 Lol
If you like Interstellar than you definitely check out 2001 A space Odyssey this come years before you born
If you haven't watched Arrival yet, it isn't exactly a space movie, but it's some of the best science fiction. And it's pretty heart wrenching.
And allow me to put in a plug for a low budget, indie Sci-fi flick, Coherence. Crazy movie, deeply unsettling, almost a mystery-thriller, but crazier.
I'm so glad that you're watching this movie! I absolutely love it and find something I missed every time because there are so many little details and hints given out throughout the movie. The score is amazing and I always get so emotional when thinking about Coop and Murph being separated by time and space and not being able to see each other for all of those years 😥
I would have loved to see the last scene have Cooper landing on Edmund's Planet and surprising Amelia.
"By the way, Amelia, my name's Joe." 😄
Also, did anyone get the line from TARS right before he was to be detached from Endurance?
TARS: "See you on the other side, Coop."
Cooper: "See you there, Slick!"
Amelia didn't get it, and I didn't either when I first saw the film. Their plan worked like a charm. They were both leaving....
A cool tie bit. The clock ticking you hear in the background on the water planet ticks every 1.25 seconds. Each tick is equal to one day passing on Earth.
I’m so glad you watched Interstellar-this is one of my favorite movies and my Brother in law is a big fan of this film too
Haha, the only connection between this and The Martian is space. 😳😳😳
...and Matt Damon & Jessica Chastain.
