INTERSTELLAR: The Hidden Meaning We All Missed | Deep Dive

Don't let me leave Murph. Each of these books was carefully selected by Christopher Nolan and buried within them is a fundamental myth of not only a father missing his daughter, but also his son. Why is Timothy Charlemagne hiding behind the event? Horizon by Casey Affleck and who really built this beautiful, glorious plot hole. I'm Eric Voss and this is the

deep

dive

. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was very ambitious with innovative visuals and a music by Hans Zimmer that takes us to church, but some viewers still felt abandoned. in the dust, but I think I found something new on this shelf, a different ghost that was there all along in the books.

We have to

dive

into this because the movie never explicitly reveals who those fifth-dimensional book beings were other than us, but what does that really mean? But all the answers are right there on Murph's bookshelf, a visual framework in which all the details of this movie's Easter eggs really come to life, so after some sepia-toned studio title cards, the opening shot by Nolan is literally this dusty bookshelf, the dust floats around. in a line due to the gravitational anomaly used by Cooper to reconnect with Murph's toy Murph, the NASA shuttle here gathers dust because in this near future the history of NASA has been erased from textbooks, presenting them as toys sci-fi fictions like LP Hartley, the go-between Nolan chose for the way The Book experiences childhood through the halls of adulthood and said it has one of the best opening lines of all time that line is the past it's a foreign country there they make things differently and that's why Nolan cheats this here by opening this film and what we think is the past a series of interviews taken directly from Ken Burns' 2012 television documentary, Dust Bowl.

They are all real life survivors of the 1930s Dust Bowl that affected American Prairie and they share their real life anecdotes about how they would have to overthrow the tableware, but then we learned in the context of this movie that these are all Star stories told by future Earth survivors, including a perfectly knit older Murph here played by Ellen burst onto a screen. Legend of several titles including the Exorcist, oh god that was a farmer like everyone else back then of course he didn't start out that way and notice how Murph in this shot is sitting in front of his famous recreated bookshelf on the space station.

The Cooper Museum's test flight shuts down due to a gravitational anomaly and the voice fades out. them down is actually one of the robots as the tar robots at this point in the story would have become Mission Control commanders establishing Cooper's abrasive relationship with these robots is now never spoken out loud but the main events Interstellar flights begin in the year 2067. That's a year we get from producer Kip Thorne's book, Interstellar Science which established that the wormhole was discovered in the year 2019, which Bran says was cited 48 years earlier, so the flight Cooper's test here would be sometime in the late 2050s, when he was still a younger pilot.

Kip Thorne is an astrophysicist who initially conceived the idea for this film with his colleague and fellow astrophysicist Linda Ops. The two inquired about contacting the film that also featured McConaughey bringing in some sci-fi. They sold the concept to Steven Spielberg, who hired Jonathan. Nolan to write the script and Jonathan spent four years studying astrophysics at Caltech and then, when Spielberg left the project, Paramount hired Jonathan's Hot Shot brother, Christopher Nolan, and Chris took over most of Jonathan's First Act showing the Earth's ecological collapse, but reconceived Acts 2 and 3 with Jonathan, as they relied heavily on Kip Thorne's consultation.

Nolan accepted two rules from Kip Thorne, one, nothing can violate the established physical laws of nature and two, all the crazy ideas in this movie must come from some scientific theory and speculation, not from the imagination of As a screenwriter, to create the black hole footage from this film, Thorne provided extensive theoretical equations that were coded into the visual effects that caused some of Symmetry's frames to take up to 100 hours to transfer. The result was these beautiful images that advanced academic understanding. of how black holes look and work, he thinks about those 100 hours per frame, that's time dilation at the level of Planet Miller, so Cooper's flight was his nightmare.

I thought you were The Phantom and Cooper jokes that Grandpa is close to being a ghost. Christopher Nolan always provides the answer to the mysteries of him at the beginning of the film. Cooper himself is Murphy's ghost and knows that the older generation will always become ghosts for his children. You are the future ghost. Nolan planted 500 acres of corn in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, only to have the unnatural image of corn fields with mountains in the background, unlike the flat areas of the American Midwest where corn normally grows. We did this to show how corn is now grown everywhere as one of the only crops left on Earth, this future Earth has been devastated. by a mysterious plague that has wiped out almost all crops, causing dust to fill clouds, depleting breathable oxygen, and severely reducing Earth's populations, so that there are no more wars or more armies.

This is similar to another book seen on Murphy's bookshelf, Stephen King's The Stand, in which people fight to survive on a post-apocalyptic Earth wiped out by a virus, the breakfast food on the table are all foods to eat. corn base, corn flour, pancakes, syrup, corn bread, corn soup, later in the future, when Murphy is an adult, it will be even worse to finish the corn fritters. corn corn now with Murph on the stick the truck blows out the tire and Tom says it's Murphy's Law the origin of Murph's name Cooper explains the true

meaning

of Murphy's Law what it means is that anything that can happen will happen , interestingly enough Amelia later redefines this as Murphy's The reason Miller's planet was so doomed is because this planet was very close to a black hole.

Things like comets and asteroids that would have collided with the planet to allow life to form were sucked into the black hole and never benefited from Murphy's Law. Murphy's Law is actually a good thing that we need. This entire movie is a demonstration of Murphy's Law. We have a Plan A and a Plan B and literally anything that can happen happens here. They chase an Indian drone which shows how both the Indians and the US military no longer exist to patrol these skies and that shows how wired Cooper is to be able to hack it remotely.

Your laptop screen shows Hindi translating for successful login and data transferred. Cooper runs his hand over the drone, probably grateful to touch something that isn't dusty, and says Hey, the sun cooked his brain or he was looking for something. This drone was actually being attracted by the gravitational anomaly at Cooper's Farm, which also explains why all the tractors in Cooper's shows are veering off course. interfering with the magnetism of the compass, some sergeant at the parent-teacher conference, even the TV is covered in dust and there is a brown dust spot on a textbook because it came from the birth shelf, making it dust from one of the gravitational anomaly strands, now another of The books on the shelf were Greg Mortensen and Dave Oliver relins Three Cups of Tea, which is about a girls' school, but Morton Sim was later accused of making up stories while I was writing this book and the key to this film is a girl who challenges the academic authorities who spread these. type of lies like Miss Hanley here and later Professor Brand Miss Hanley believes that the Apollo missions were fake, which is very frustrating when watching this movie that shows how in this dystopian society the moon landing conspiracy theory has been proxy of society replacing history to maintain these Poor children focused on agriculture now in real life.

Conspiracy theorists believed this was achieved using Stanley Kubrick's set pieces from 2001's Space Odyssey. 2001 will be in the film that most inspired the Nolans in this film and we see how throughout this room there are children's drawings. of tractors showing how this school encourages children to love farming Cooper asks where his tax money will go if there are no more armies. It is later revealed that this was going to NASA's Lazarus missions Donald says that when he was a kid they used to build new gadgets every day if this were set in 2067 Donald would be a millennial, he says that his Earth had 6 billion people, which which would have been the case in 1999, and remembers when baseball was good and misses hot dogs.

Cooper sums up the theme of this film. We used to look up at the sky and wonder what our place was in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place on earth, but notice how the dirt is literally stuck to the window sill behind your head. He is so blinded by the stars that he is unable to see the answer, it really takes Murph a generation raised in this dust to see how the solution to his place in the stars is literally buried in the ground now in this baseball game there is popcorn, soda and candy, we see more corn. the New York Yankees suggested relocating the Yankees to rural areas to simply keep this pastime alive as the Romans say PanAm in the circuses food and entertainment corn and baseball is what keeps a society docile Cooper says that in his time the People were too busy fighting over food to even play baseball, implying that there were wars over food shortages.

Later, Cooper and Professor Brandt talk about the government pressuring NASA to drop bombs from the stratosphere on the Hungry Riders' cities. A dust storm occurs causing the earth to float into Murph's room and collapse. the sand with a heavier gravitational pull in the form of these bands which Cooper realizes are coordinates that form a binary code. You can totally see Steven Spielberg's interest in Jonathan Nolan's Act One because it's essentially Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A restless father connects with an alien signal and leaves his family behind chasing him for Richard Dreyfus they were piles of mashed potatoes for Cooper they are hills of dirt while Murph brings a Sando cornbread to Cooper the curtains are all stained brown in the hems and in the truck they use a cloth to prevent dirt from entering through the air conditioning vent.

The murfs hide in Cooper's passenger seat. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me. Yes, she is more right than she knows. Cooper only got those coordinates because his future self was trying to communicate with Murph, they arrived at the NORAD facility. NORAD is the branch of the government with underground bases to command strategic nuclear strikes. It makes sense for NASA to take over these missile silos in their launch bays and centrifuges and we need tars. The points are written in Braille. They are designed to look and move like humans it just wouldn't be practical for most functions like warfare because the human body isn't really designed for most of the things we need it to be designed for, so they decided on the rectangle. segmented, which is much stronger and easier. for transport and Cooper implies here that its original function was for combat.

Do you still think that Marine pal Marines no longer exist? Its rectangular shape is an intentional nod to the monolith from 2001's A Space Odyssey, which was the symbol of technology in that film. The sum of all our fears, all our hopes, and ultimately all our salvation, and yes, there's a reason Apple went this way. Now Tars was voiced and puppeted by Bill Irwin, who was also the puppet on the case and in both cases was digitally painted by everyone. shots, but Nolan mixed his audio diegetically with each piece of equipment so that it sounds tinny as if it were coming from inside the room, as opposed to all the leveled audio of the human characters' voices.

Tars is my favorite character in this movie and he saves everyone in more ways than you know Cooper meets Amelia Brand, who is named after Amelia Earhart, his father. Professor Brand explains how the Earth is doomed and explains his plans to save the planet.humanity. Plan a solution to the gravity equations to take advantage of gravity and turn the centrifuge into a space station. that could sustain life off the planet and plan B to send these astronauts to find a new world to populate using saved human embryos he calls them Lazarus missions that sounds cheerful Leisure is back from the dead sure, but he had to die in first and Bran just stares back darkly because he knows the real plan is to let Humanity on Earth die so the embryos can resurrect the species.

Now, when Cooper first enters the Silo, on the top there are solar panels and when he realizes that she is a centrifuge, Nolan. Tilt the camera to show how it has a curved floor like Kubrick's jogging scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey, they say how a wormhole opened near Saturn, which in Roman mythology is the god of agriculture, so that again the secret of the stars is

hidden

in the bran of earth. He highlights the notable Dr. Man who is shown in the background photos only from a distance in the scene to hide the fact that he is Matt Damon.

Dr. Mann is always described as the best of us and is inspired by Kurtz from Joseph Conrad and Francis' Heart of Darkness. Ford Coppola's film version of that Apocalypse. Now, a man who is said to have a brilliant mind and who loses his mind when isolated from civilization, it is no mistake that his name is man as he represents the weakness of humanity and this film literally takes us to the Very Heart of Darkness, a literal Heart of Darkness. Cooper says goodbye to Murph but she knocks her watch away and he leaves her behind. Yes, that book knocked off the shelf is this future self begging him to stay by Cooper's head later in the movie when he does. this is the willoughbys by Lois Lowry a story about a group of children abandoned by their parents this incredible music composed by Hans Zimmer was recorded on the Harrison and Harrison organ at London's Temple Church after Nolan gave Zimmer just a page of dialogue that had nothing to do with space or science fiction, it was really just a father dropping off his daughter.

Cooper checks to see if Murph hid in the passenger seat this time with hope in his heart, but no, this moment always thrills me every time I see it again and I love how Nolan mounts the camera on the side of the truck. showing the perspective of the side mirror that matches the camera. being on the side of the rocket while the NASA countdown plays over the truck, achieving incredible time dilation through film editing, wastes no time showing the launch preparation for Cooper to leave his farm, it feels like he was leaving his entire world behind the cracks of Taurus.

Some jokes using an indicator light, you can use it to find your way back to the ship after it takes you out of the airlock and the light turns on like someone who despises sarcasm. I would love for humans to come with this light and yes, this is another 2001. Nods to Hal, who thrills through his only red light and lights up the crew, sending the pool through space, suffocating Nolan. He commits to emitting a scientifically accurate zero sound every time we cut to the outside of the shuttle. The International Space Station is designing this to look like a watch.

It is a ring with 12 compartments. 12 like the 12 pilots of the Lázaro mission. 12 disciples, including Judas Trader. Yes, it's a surprisingly religious movie for a sci-fi epic. I like this. Nolan inserts a shot of the locking mechanism so we later know what it means when it doesn't close properly because Dr. Mann Bran sends them off with Dylan Thomas' 1947 poem Don't go gently into that good night, old age should burn and rave at the end of the day rage rage against the death of the light that brings us back to another of the books on murph's shelf selected poems by T.S Eliot Nolan chose this explanatory quote the concepts of time and space in their most complex form are sometimes expressed better through ART than science Elliot's four quartets are as thought-provoking about time as any scientific text, the first of which is T.S.'s Burnt Notion.

Eliot that begins with the present tense and the past tense, perhaps both are present in the future tense and the future tense contained in the past tense and you can totally see how this does not reflect obsession with time specifically in this

interstellar

movie, the past, present and future are contained within each other Cooper asks Amelia oh uh, Wolf's practical physicist, yes, Cooper can sense in the way Amelia calls him wolf and doesn't really go into much detail. uncomfortable energy there that is totally in love with this person Cooper's empathy is his greatest strength and that is why he was chosen for this mission Malia says that she hopes to escape the human evil that is specific to Earth in her opinion Cooper asks her if she believes that nature can be evil she says no and he just settles for that's what we take in her hand yes, foreshadowing that evil is truly a plague carried by humans like Dr.

Mann and that it can absolutely spread to other worlds and other galaxies as they pass Saturn Cooper finds Bromley panicking at the magnitude of space and gives him sounds of nature to listen to abroad, this also functions as Nolan's demonstration of sound as a choice that makes the viewer appreciate the silence in the film and each ticking beat and orchestral swell as a deliberate choice with an intended emotional effect that Cooper provides. A gift of this emotional calm to Bromley and Romiley gives Cooper a science lesson about wormholes and why we see them as a sphere.

He folds a sheet of paper in half to demonstrate the curvature of space-time and punches the pin, through which it looks like this. was shown in Event Horizon Stranger Things and Thor 11 Thunder, but this idea of ​​a two-dimensional hole shown in three dimensions turning into a sphere is explained in another book Nolan put on Murph's bookshelf. Edwin Abbott's Flatland, a romance of many dimensions, is a story of a flat shape that is frightened by perceiving a three-dimensional object passing through its dimension. Carl Sagan actually summed this up in an amazing segment on Cosmos and, like those flat shapes on the plain, these astronauts' passage through the wormhole seems both terrifying and relaxing as we see it. the starry background flows in multiple ways, like a sheet or towel unfolding by slowly pulling one side under the other and in this way it doesn't look like anything has been added to the space from a visual effects perspective as was the case with wormholes in contact or hyperspace in Star Wars or that hexagonal grid in the MCU or rather we are simply seeing space as we know it folding and sliding on itself Doyle says they are passing through mass his word for the dimensional space beyond their own, they just called the mass because it's too big for humans to understand, it's just beyond.

Amelia shakes hands with a space-time warp that's supposed to be Michelangelo's creation of Adam, which we later learn is actually the future Cooper, dating back to her. The eight types of time travel were talked about before and Interstellar represents Type 4. It always happened, also known as predestination in which the very act of time travel is predetermined by fate and the strange things that happen in the act one of the story are later revealed as the act. of time-traveling characters who had always messed with things and the way destiny unfolded, like in Harry Potter, the Prisoner of Azkaban, it was me all the time or in the Terminator movies or whatever.

Nolan will later do it in Tenant. One could argue that he is the most narratively hermetic type. of time travel, as the entire story is contained within a system of self-justification, but it leaves some cynical viewers with questions about free will because it could be argued that things happen to the characters because the script needed them, in my opinion, Christopher Nolan avoids this by structuring this story so that the father and daughter save each other by making this a single, selfless mission to save all of humanity and by never showing the true beings en masse implying that they are human advanced and giving us a kind of freedom.

I'll do it in that sense, but that's not exactly the case for more on that later, as you can probably see in this

interstellar

. behind everything it's because I like to learn I'm sorry for being this guy but I really consider myself a forever student there's always something to learn there's always a way to expand your brain and what I really like is when learning is easy to do and there shiny.org is where it comes in shiny.org is the best way to learn mathematics and computer science interactively.

If I had this in high school, I would have loved math. shiny has thousands of lessons from fundamental math dance to artificial intelligence data science neural networks and more with new lessons. added monthly I decided to do some logic lessons because I feel that if I can understand logic more fundamentally, it should have some real immediate impacts on my ability to solve problems in real life. The logic lessons are amazing. There's a whole narrative about robots running the theme park and in the middle of it, logic puzzles that really force me to think and at the same time it's fun to try out everything shiny has to offer for free for a full 30 days.

Visit shiny.org. Dive into r or click the link in the description of the first. 200 of you will get 20 off Brilliance's annual premium subscription. Miller's plan, its proximity to Gargantua, the black hole, causes it to dilate in time, so that each hour there is equivalent to seven years ago on Earth, time dilation is what I call type 3 of time travel fiction. where the characters will age in the future, that way Interstellar even has a plan A and a plan B of time travel types to save time. Cooper accelerates his descent a little. Caution would go and kill you and later when it's time for Cooper to dock.

With drag and high-speed spinning, the robot answers this to Cooper, this is no time to be cautious. Cooper tells the case that I need to feel the air and holds his seat to feel the vibrations of the Rangers, something that aviators will do and visibility is poor. and they have to trust their instincts, it's actually where the term fly by the seat of your pants comes from and explains why they don't see those huge waves during their descent, the cloud cover is so thick now that Miller's planet is dilated in time with seven Earth years pass for each hour in which astronaut Miller would have just landed and would have died minutes before landing.

If you look closely at the ocean shot, there is a single white layer about a third of the way in from the left that doesn't disappear. immediately, as the other white hats do, that could actually be Miller's remains after a wave passed through Hans Zimmer annotates this sequence with these ticking sounds. Laughs now, if you time this, we hear about 1.25 ticks per second and if you do the Time Dilation calculations of seven years per hour, each tick represents about one day on Earth, so with this clock sound , Zimmer activates our anxiety to make us feel each passing day.

Amelia sees the wave in the distance, which at first looks like a hill to us because Nolan has already prepared us with an unnatural background Hills behind the cornfields in the act again and again since Miller just landed there, this was probably the same wave that killed her. Zimmer increases the ticks of the score to continue the reveal, yes, not only do the Beats come faster and faster right after the top of the wave is revealed, the ticks actually hit there when Cooper realizes that the Time is of a particular Essence. Doyle has to instruct Case to go rescue Amelia and transforms into a charming pinwheel, but the fact that he couldn't save her. someone automatically shows why they had to be humans and not robots sent on this Mission, as Dr.

Mann will later explain, the machine does not improvise well because the fear of death cannot be programmed, the wave crashes and takes away Doyle and floods their engines, leaving them stranded. for hours, also known as Decades of Earth Time, Cooper feels guilty for lying to his daughter, he wants to make sure his children feel safe and that rules out a 10 year old child whose world has ended and they don't realize it in this moment, but this applies to the teacher. Brand also did not tell his daughter that the Earth was doomed and that the planet wasa failure because they wanted her to have hope.

They lit the Amazon ship. Yes, he says helmets because he hasn't had time to register yet that his crew is reduced from three to two or he's starting to see the robots as human crew members and when they leave, Doyle's body is left floating there or who? You know, it could be the Millers and since time passes so quickly here, both people could still be alive and came back. to an older Romiley aged 23 years, four months and eight days, another book Nolan put on Murph's shelf is 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez, a story of a multigenerational family, but here is a bitter reminder that the Characters in this film age decades.

In only the film's most heartbreaking scene, Cooper watches 23 years of video messages telling his son Tom to finish second in school. This girl still gives me C's, so she does, second in school, but the teacher who gives her C sounds like she is a bright kid, but they are grading him. on a curve because only the best student could go to university and all the other children are forced to be farmers. Poor Tom was never given a chance as Chalamet gets older and Affleck, you can hear his baby coughing and struggling to breathe, my God, and the next call, he says grandpa is buried next to mom and Jesse, her son, he didn't make it.

Cooper sobs at seeing his daughter as his and McConaughey's every expression becomes a meme and truly the iconic image of this decade of pure Agony and Nolan edits. From this, Murph turns off the call and we cut to her on the other end, one of the smoothest edits and point-of-view changes he's ever seen. It occurs exactly at the halfway point of the film around 1 hour and 24 minutes into the 2 hour and 49 minute movie as the team debates whether to go to Planet Man or Edmonds. Emilia defends Edmonds based on Love Alone. Love is the only thing we are able to perceive that transcends the dimensions of time and space, establishing Cooper's superpower of empathy. be the only thing the massive beings need to force him to destroy the bridge, but Amelia is right, they should have followed her heart and gone to Edmond's planet because the man's planet was a trap.

Murphy visits a farm with Tom and Lois where they are. eating corn to play even more corn on the table, also notice how Murph covers the jar with a cloth to keep out any dust he may have caught outside in the cornfield. Murphy's jacket with that dark collar is very similar to the one Cooper wore when he was a corn farmer. Professor Brand confesses to Murph that he lied about the Plan A equation as Brand shakes his head. Zimmer switches to a more disturbing horror movie theme. It's really creepy in this part of the movie on the way to planet Man, the ranger hits. a frozen ammonia cloud supposedly is the only thing in this movie without physical basis because there is no way a cloud can freeze, which is small but visually creates this effect that man and anyone on this planet is trapped both from below as from above by Frozen Death, the planet is a death trap, the man sobs as he wakes up from crying and falling asleep and seeing a human face, he will then tell Cooper, what the investigation tells us is the last thing he will see before die, their children, their faces.

He is sobbing and relieved to have broken his isolation, but also at the thought of not having children to mourn him, this survival. Instinct is what drives him to be the patriarch of the human race from now on. Remember Professor Brand's insistence that Lazarus The Crew Has No Attachments was part of his failure. Cooper's empathy for having children gave him an advantage that this man, the supposed best member of Lazarus' crew, never had. The man asks about the others. No, in our current situation, he excuses anyone else. Yes, we move on to Amelia. She worries that the man will find out what happened on Planet Miller and judge her for it.

Realizing that the man is actually the morally weakest of them, she waited a fraction of the time Bromley was isolated for 10 years, while Bromley turned 23 and the man was still lost while Romily stayed strong. Romiley. I think it is the ultimate tragedy of this film. Don't judge me, Cooper. He will never be tested like me, Romily was tested and you killed him. Man, the crew finds out that Professor Brand lied about Plan A and Dr. Mann explains how difficult it would be to get people to work together to save the species instead of themselves. or his children, we may care deeply and selflessly about those we meet, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight.

This is why the bulk beans needed Cooper, they needed an astronaut with a direct empathic link back to Earth through time, but also since Dr. Mann joined Brand in the lie and now makes us suspect that everything he's said so far is a possible hoax on Dusty Earth. Murph sees a girl wiping dirt off her face. She is actually a cameo by Flora Nolan, Christopher's daughter. Nolan and his wife and production partner Emma Thomas, the production title of this film was Flora's Letter. It is widely interpreted that the movie Interstellar could have been Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas trying to work on being so far away from their children whenever they work on movies. worldwide I mean this whole movie is clearly a familial love letter, as Nolan also nestled on the bookshelf of a Jane Austen Murph Emma, ​​a nod to her love Emma Thomas.

Now, at this point in the movie, you'll notice Nolan quickly cuts in from space. The plot returns to Earth as Murph and Getty try to save Tom's family, but it's not just a chaotic interconnection to intertwine everyone's beliefs, there are some sneaky editing overlays where one story comments on the other, like when the team begins to realize that man's planet is uninhabitable, Nolan. He goes back to Getty saying it's bad they can't stay here, yes he's talking about the farm, but the editing creates a commentary on Planet of Man. Also how he too is doomed. Dr.

Man's entire speech to Cooper justifying the power of human connection. Why he understands his decision. The return to Earth is brilliantly revealed as a self-rationalization of the man who lies so that they will come to save him. Cooper calls him a coward and the man says yes, that's the saddest thing about the man. He is smart enough to recognize his cowardice. He has thought about this conversation. via dozens of times Sorry, I can't watch you go through this. Sorry, I thought I could, but yeah, part of his mission was to stay and watch his savior suffocate.

It's wrong, but you can see how he spoke himself. This is why casting Matt Damon in this role is so perfect. The following year he would play an incredibly similar role in The Martian, but as the likeable protagonist, so in a meta sense this standout would see himself as the story's legitimate hero compared to his astronaut suits, he has orange spots like Mark Watney's suit on the Martian. Romily accesses Kips' booby trap file. His data doesn't make sense. Yes, the moment Kip reboots, you can barely hear him say, please, no. Don't make me believe this was in Jonathan Nolan's 2008 draft and the subplot was further explored in the prequel comic Absolute Zero, written by Christopher Nolan after the man's time with Kip, and Kip had gotten into a fight because the The man falsified the data and sent him outside when Kip returned with his final words: "Please don't make me go back outside," but the man interrupts him by saying burmanzi, which is a trigger word that disables the robot, so the man You selfishly try to abandon them, you don't know the resistance coupling procedure. the autopilot doesn't say that Torres deactivated it well, yes, Taurus deactivated the docking procedure indirectly following his previous prank of betraying the humans by taking them out of the airlocks, which is exactly what happens to the man, but it is important to have Keep in mind that Taurus does not defy Isaac Asimov's Law of Robotics to never hurt humans.

Why, because these robots were originally built to be marines, they definitely don't have that law. They were simply reprogrammed to be useful in this case, but through that programming he follows that law. By making it impossible for the man to abandon Cooper and Emilia, he saves their lives. It's actually the man's decision to open the hatch that ends his life and I like how the editing doesn't even allow him to have a noble speech. It is about all humanity. For a moment, notice again how we move from sound to dialogue and to music too, as air is sucked into space.

Then when they close this airlock, the sound comes back, so what follows is obviously the best sequence in the movie, one of the best. In any film, coupling is not possible, no, it is necessary, yes. Cooper's survival instinct takes over and he remembers another book Nolan taped to Murph's bookshelf. Thomas's Rainbow Boarding House from Gravity, a book referenced in Brian Johnson's Knives Out. Explore thematically what you do in Those Last Moments Before It's All Over, Dylan Thomas provides the answer: you rage, you rage against the dying of the light and that's why, in this sequence, Hans Zimmer's Church organ ravages the red glow beneath their feet as they sink into the stratosphere of the planet of Man. light and when they use those retro thrusters to match the spin of the resistance, Amelia tilts with the spin and passes out, her arm goes up, but Cooper leans against him to try to stay conscious, he doesn't move smoothly and again she resistance was designed to look like a clock ring with 12 nodes and now from below it spins counterclockwise, so Cooper has to match that counterclockwise spin exactly to align it.

Turning back the clock is the solution he uses inside the Tesseract to push the resistance out of the black holes. survey using Newton's third law, the Lander pushed reading reads lmao1 and lmao2, which I think is a callback to Tarza's big joke about them launching each other into space, which both Tars and Cooper do here to give Amelia that extra boost she needs to get to Edmond's planet Cooper slides into the black hole screaming with a light flashing over his face like in the Stargate sequence in 2001's A Space Odyssey, which this part of the movie is basically for Interstellar, but Cooper lands in the Tesseract, a three-dimensional construct in which time is represented. as a physical dimension using Murph's section of bookshelf in Endless Bands in which Cooper can convert gravity into the first known use of the term Tesseract was actually in Robert Heinlein's 1941 short story and built a crooked house in which a architect builds a house based on the geometric concept of a four-dimensional analogue of a cube and that house folds back on itself and creates a dimensional loop within the structure where people can see themselves looking across a room into another, that's how you got the word Tesseract and now in theoretical physics. a tesseract is basically that idea a four dimensional hypercube with a cube a three dimensional shape is a square to a two dimensional shape expand that rung what is the four dimensional version of that you have an x, y and z axis what is a theoretical fourth axis that could also be divided into 90 degrees from the corner of that Cube, don't scare the strange 3D beings, it's literally impossible for us to do this, but in that Cosmo segment I mentioned before, Carl Sagan showed a 3D shadow of a tesseract and what it would look like.

Nolan does his best to visualize it here by going back to the original literary use of the term using a room in a house and Nolan uses the symbol of a bookshelf, the sum of the human being. knowledge as a link to the salvation of humanity and you will notice that one of these books is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which a medical scientist applies deductive reasoning to solve mysteries that are often in plain sight , as Murph does here too EB. White's Charlotte's Web, in which messages inscribed by a spider on the wall save the farm as Cooper does as the ghost, but there are three more books that are harder to see on our list.

The story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Rublewski in which a person on a farm solves a mystery using the ghost of his deceased father, George Luis Borges Labyrinth, which is actually a collection of short stories including the battle library it directly inspired Nolan's Infinite Library here and, finally, Madeleine sings A Wrinkle in Time in which a young girl Meg Murray rescues her scientist father through time. in space, if you read any book on this list in the company of Interstellar, read thisand Murph finally blocks it now. Similarly this film analysis has had its own ghost who was there the whole time behind this bookshelf so the pilot in this photograph is my father Captain Phillip boss this is him in 1986 returning from one of many long Navy deployments before I was even born here he is greeting my mom my sister Suzanne Lucy and Katie and my brother Matthew my dad is amazing my dad broke flying records as an S3 pilot He flew back to the US. in a Terrace captured for trial in 1987 after a top-secret FBI raid; he might be the coolest thing anyone in my family has ever done and then after 31 years of service he retired from the Navy in 1985 and fortunately for me.

As the youngest member of the family, I don't really have any memories of him on deployment. I only remember him as a father who stayed for his children, but all my older brothers had different childhoods with memories of a father who was often sent away. he went on a mission they didn't really understand at the time, but he was doing what all serving parents do to keep us safe, and like Marth, I feel like my job as a movie analyzer has been to watch fictional titles trying to understand. life from every possible angle so far only now I think I figured out the answer it was there all along I am my father's son my imagination my work ethic my joy my seriousness my understanding that sometimes the impossible just needs to be done I ask Apologies for the shipping mentality, but hey, if this movie seemed trite to you, consider looking at this bookshelf full of books from both sides as a sneering young man and a longing father.

Cooper finds the exact moment in space-time through which to communicate Taurus' quantum data to Murph. the watch he had given her moved the second hand to communicate the binary code that Murph can use to finish Bran's gravity equation and build space stations to save the people of a dying Earth. Now some of the cynicism around this film comes from what people consider oversimplified. answer of who built this Tesseract, who are the mass beings that said all this excitement and what beings are we, Cooper's people could not build this, no, yet, someday, a civilization that has evolved beyond the four dimensions, we know the future beings into which humans evolve.

The question then arises as to why these future Almighty beings didn't save Earth from the plague to begin with. Well, for starters, the Nolans didn't want to make a movie about climate change on Earth, they wanted to make a space movie set in black holes. I don't blame them for that and therefore their hero needed to be an astronaut who misses his daughter, but there is another piece of this puzzle that I think answers everything and a lot of people miss it. Who else is in the black hole with Cooper right now? The reason I think Cooper's relationship with Tom is underdeveloped in this movie is because Cooper's real son structurally in this movie is tars.

Remember that he called his son Turbo in the first few minutes and then, later in the film, he transfers that nickname to the robots. Well, it will be better. slow down the turbo Cooper in this movie goes from hating and fearing robots to loving them because they remind him of Tom, so I believe that the future advanced beings who saved everyone who designed and built this Tesseract were descendants of tars with AI, someone who spent more. time with Cooper than anyone, that's why the Tesseract has a 90-degree quadrilateral design like the infinite 90-degree tar configurations. These AI beans would lack a true soul and would still need a human in the distant past to be that bridge and they partner. that bridge with his tars ancestors is the other half of that bond and you may have also noticed Scrabble on Murph's bookshelf and when you rearrange the Tesseract letters you get secret tars.

I'm kidding, we're missing an R, but you know they were so close that the Tesseract folds in on itself and Cooper is left floating outside Saturn looking like the Starchild at the end of 2001. A space odyssey and brought to the Cooper station a giant cylinder using artificial gravity. These future humans still play baseball. time that will never die, but if you think about it, it is the only form of entertainment that people in 2067 still had and we see how they made a museum with their house and a small detail here. I love how Cooper cleans his fingers. on the table because he never knew this house without dust and showing his paternal love for Taurus, the first thing he does is reset the tars on his kitchen table next stage some dad humor humor 75 Self-destruct team minus ten nine let's do that sixty by Cent Cooper meets with Murph, who tells them that no parent should see their own child die.

If you think about it, Murphy is referring to how Tom had to bury his son. Jesse Cooper decides to leave to look for Amelia on Edmond's planet. His instinct to trust his heart was Right love is the only thing that transcends everything and that movie proves it by making Edmund's planet the one that is habitable. We go from stifling dust in act 1 to crushing water, to deadly ice and now to breathable heat.air Amelia has taken off her helmet and can breathe remember how Cooper said in the first minutes I thought we had forgotten who we are now explorers pioneers caretakers Pioneers non-caregivers and by staying on floating monuments to nostalgia Humanity has returned to survival mode, another generation of caretakers so to keep moving forward they need to keep looking for new homes.

Humanity is not tied to the solar system. We are meant to be, by definition, interstellar. Hey, thanks for your patience on this deep dive.
