- Опубликовано: 31 авг 2020
- To wrap up our Nolanpalooza (his words) we revisit the 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar. Starring Matthew Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine it sees the future of humanity threatened by a global catastrophe so they go into space and time dilation and wormholes and stuff like that. Pretty full on. Thanks for watching.

When Mr Sunday movie uploads a new video:
"Well this little maneuver is gonna cost 19 minutes and 10 seconds"
DONT LET ME LEAVE, MASO
19 minutes and 10 seconds here is 400 days and 13 hours on earth
Mason there is a moment.........
lmaooooooo 😂😂

i like this comment so much i have chosen to type my second like.
Nice to see Mason back well and alive again, miracles can happen people.
*Or is he?*
He's back and he's OFF THE DOOOOOME
I think James Tenetted him back in time and back to life. Is that what happens in that movie? I dunno probably
What happened to him
Ben Clarke Nolan brought him back to life
One of the sad moments in this film was really funny for me. It was the bit where they're near the black hole and one of them needs to be ejected so the other can get away. Matthew McConaughey is smiling and saying stuff like "I'm sorry, only one of us can make it." and Anne Hathaway is crying, all like "No, no, please don't." or whatever. I legitimately thought, when I was watching it in the cinema, that McConaughey was going to shoot Hathaway into the black hole so he could get away.
😂
Yeah I thought he was sacrificing her too. A lot of people did. Kind of a problem with the presentation tbh.
Tbh I get wt u say but it was obvious he was sacrificing himself bcs of the previous dialogues they had
Great vid. Just wanted to say - the reason they went to the water planet is because the previous astronaut's beacon was saying it was habitable because it kept pinging. It turned out the pings were simply echoes of a single ping, prior to the wave that killed the astronaut. The echoes were a result of the time dilation as it left the gravity of the planet / black hole.
You just blew my mind
My absolute favourite thing about Interstellar is that Cooper’s son names his son Cooper after his Dad. Cooper is their last name, so Casey Affleck called his son Cooper Cooper.
I'm pretty sure they just nickname him Cooper after his dad I don't think he's actually christened cooper
@@bobdob6293 but we’re talking about Cooper’s grandson.
The only people who refer to Cooper as Cooper aren’t blood relations (I.e. scientists, his father-in-law, etc). It’d be weird for a father to nickname his own son after his own fathers nickname, especially when that nickname can apply to him (or his sister) too.
Flicking through the screenplay, it very much comes across as Coopers son names his son Cooper Cooper. Tom (original Cooper’s so ) mentions about the death of his first son Jesse and how he’s named his second Cooper after his grandfather.
Welp......thanks for ruining the movie for me lol
@@samuelthrift7282 it is something like 7yrs old and the video gives more spoilers

“What if love was quantifiable in the 5th dimension?”
“It’s not though.”
“.....well go back into the office until it is.”
Man I always hated people that said this shit like it was a gotcha, when it just shows they're fucking stupid.
Like they said earlier in the video "advanced technology is indistinguishable from spooks" Mathew McConaughey doesn't know how 5th dimensional wormholes work, he's just a dumb corn guy. Obviously it was developed by his smart physicist daughter to be able to communicate with her.
@@AcherontiaStyx Cooper was a NASA engineer before he was a farmer, so he must have at least some idea of how wormholes work at least in theory
@Shawn Harasymchuk
Why would a Nasa engineer know how wormholes work?
@@mabusestestament because you need an understanding of physics to be an engineer for NASA
@Shawn Harasymchuk
Sure, but why would 'an understanding of physics' automatically mean someone would understand how wormholes would work?

One of the best parts of the McConaissance is how Matthew McConaughey of True Detective explains what happens to Matthew McConaughey of Interstellar.
"Time is a flat circle."
This isn't even really about the movie but shout out to Ben. The kingdoms destiny island theme was well used. 13:24
I heard that too immediately. No one noticed. But I noticed
Beautiful editing
I noticed too. I had to read the comments just to make sure I wasn't the only one 😅
I wasn't expecting a nostalgia wave like this one
I loved his other edit where he used Heartless and Nobodies too lol
Maybe the real insterstellar was the friends they made along the way

James:
“I don’t think his work is very derivative.”
Also James:
“It’s very much a 2001 sort of movie.”
And Contact and Event Horizon and Solaris.
@@mabusestestament The original script was nearly a remake of Disney's The Black Hole but with Chinese robot enemies.
It really struck me as a movie that desperately wanted to be 2001 when it grew up.
Actually, this is a really good video
Every movie is a derivative of some other film made after 1930.
Can we please stop with this tired old nonsense of insulting filmmakers this way? There are no original ideas anymore. The last great original idea died out centuries ago. Time to get over it.
"And when he goes to find Anne Hathaway at the end....we hope you've seen this btw" I BURST out laughing hahaha
If it's been at least five years since a film has come out, and you've still not even seen that film for the first time, you deserve to get spoiled. I'm sorry, but there's gotta be some kind of statute of limitations on that crap!
@@shindari why dude
he only said he laughed at a specific point of the video
The second docking scene might be my favorite in this movie. It's so tense, and the soundtrack makes the tension even stronger.
Yeah, I remember watching it for the first time. It was one of my favorite moments in the movie, cause the tension of that scene was of the charts.
No time for caution is great when played against something mundane ie Interstellar Parking ruclips.net/video/xmlgdFBGsDY/видео.html
Somebody posted on YT a mashup of the No Time for Caution track with the Hudson River Ditch scene from "Sully." Really good stuff.
and the first docking scene is long too as foreshadowing
its my number 1 cgi action shot of all time.
5:33 finally Dog/Ollie’s live action appearance
She's such a good girl!
Who let that dog out? Mason, was it you?
"very well made movies that I never want to watch again" *shows lighthouse*. I couldn't agree more
That long, slow docking scene is probably my favorite scene in the movie... it’s so intense
Copy and paste comment. get a life.

DON'T YELL AT OLLIE, JAMES! PODCAST DOG IS THE ONLY REASON I STILL LISTEN TO YOU!
Exactly. The dog’s name is podcast dog
Actually, this is a really good video
Ollie seemed really surprised by his sneeze. Amazing!
Nolan kept begging Kip Thorne to let McConaughey travel back in time, but he wouldn’t let him do it because physics, so Tenet is basically just the movie Kip Thorne wouldn’t let him make
Lol when you put it that way 🤣
you just made that all up but ok
@@cheezoncrack1 Thorne says so in the book he wrote about Interstellar

That's what the anime would be called.
@@PittsburghSonido
He probably found the milk in the 12th dimension

You just gonna throw The Lighthouse under the bus like that Ben?
Fun fact: the original Solaris was created by Tarkovsky as a spiritual retort to 2001. He felt Kubrick's film lacked a psychological, emotional center, so he sought to create a film that focused more on those elements of the human experience.
11:32 I'm assuming that when Matthew goes to find Anne that she may be a decade older or something but that wouldn't be too much of a problem since Anne is apparently an immortal vampire much like Tom Cruise, Christian Bale, or the Skarsgård family
Matthew McConaughey's 13 years older than Anne Hathaway, so if ten years pass for her he would still be older than her when he found her.
@@MrBazBake Welllllllllllllllllll... that all depends on how close to that damn black hole she is...
I thought the assumption was that since had become master of time and space by going into the black hole library and having future 5th-dimensional humans teach him the math needed to become said master of time and space, that he'd just pop back to the exact moment that Anne Hathaway landedon the other planet.
@@shindari well... If she would be near the black hole, then it would be her time being slowed down. Meaning, if Cooper came there a year later, it'd probably hours or days after she arrived there, for her
I love Ben for putting the Destiny Island music in the background.
YES! We're not alone! lol
Man I remember in highschool this movie came out and a dude was just so pretentious with his movie, he would be saying why this movie is so smart with physics and that he understanded it perfectly because he is smart and knows about the themes, then we had physics class and he didn’t understand shit.
The biggest braggers are generally the biggest phonies.
Words to live by.
People in high school are morons.
I’ve seen SO many zoomers on tik tok say that this movie is a “masterpiece” and essentially act like the guy you described. It’s the perfect “fake deep” movie for people that think cool visuals and sci-fi story = good movie automatically.
UNDERSTANDED? REALLY? LMAO, HIGHSCHOOL? How the hell did you pass? lol....
Idk why this has me rolling 😂😂😂
The part with your dog was adorable. Every once in a blue I think I speak for all your long time listeners, the cameo is perfect lol
Really bizarre that a bookcase is a character in the film when you include a robot with an optional sarcasm setting
That clip of podcast dog made my day.
Bit of a fun fact im sure most probably know .. the old people talking in the video screens at the beginning are talking about their real experience of the US dust bowl event that came about from a combination of a drought , poor farming practices and crop failures.
I genuinely didn’t know that, thanks!

So stupid
watch the video "Like Stories Of Old" made about Interstellar
Yes, Anne Hathaway was acting like one of those bad daytime soap shows.
Cried like a baby the first time I watched.
Same here xd
Yup. Me as well.
Big deal. I cry like a baby all the time.

Ben missed a golden opportunity to flash an Elk on the screen when James says "movies of that ellllk". Ben, you're slipping mate come on now...
I was searching specifically for this comment
Matthewpalooza?
I clearly remember it being referred to as the 'McConanaissance'
ruclips.net/video/xECUrlnXCqk/видео.html
I literally commented that as soon as this video was posted. My big sandwich subscription was all for nothing
It’s obviouspalooza over here!
I saw this movie for the first time two years ago while on an airplane for like the second time in my life. It was the first time I had flown for a long time though and it was across the Pacific Ocean on a red eye. Incredible experience, especially during space scenes it felt like I was right in the movie. One of my all-time favorite movies. Definitely a top 5.
I went to Mathewpalooza back in 1992, the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined.
Two things that I absolutely love that Ben does:
(1) dispassionately correct facts that the boys get totally wrong
(2) go to complete black screen in exasperation whenever they leave dead air
"They'll put RUclips comments on our tombstones."
and it'll be filled with misspelling
I read this word for word as Mason said this 😂😂
For the crying scene, Matthew McConaughey was watching the part of Zoolander where Zoolander stops the spinning shuriken blade and saves the world leader with Magnum, and all his detractors say "It's beautiful!", and then even his father says "That's my son!" That's what they played for MM so he could cry. Over and over.
Can't wait for the H8 mail on this video.
Actually, this was a really good video.
I love this movie and its music theme. Hans zimmer is brilliant.
Kip Thorne also consulted on Carl Sagan's novel "Contact" (he suggested wormholes as a plot device), so there's another Contact-Interstellar connection.
Seeing this movie in IMAX high af was life changing

Speak for yourself about The Lighthouse Ben. Rewatching that with new people or by yourself is super interesting to me.
totally. best of 2019 imo. I've never seen anything like it
If we, for a moment, define Earth's spherical nature as the combination of two domes, then one could reasonably say this film is about Matthew McConaughey figuring out how exactly to transport the entire Earth population OFF THE DOOOOME.
Am I reaching...?
Got ‘em.
Nah, that was pretty much the assumption: that having crossed into a black hole, Matthew McConnaughey was able to send the data that was missing from our known universe, and this knowledge allowed Murph to invent artificial gravity and FTL and get all of humanity off the earth and into giant interstellar colonies.
Domes are hollow, so this also implies that Interstellar and Journey to the Center of the Earth exist in the same cinematic universe.
Whaat, the docking scenes were amazing :D Gave me that 2001: A Space Odyssey vibe. Space is silent, calculated,atmospheric and tense.. what are you doing Dave? Docking, Hal
it’s interesting because that ship spinning sequence is one of my favorite bits of the movie it’s so tense the whole way through and the score swells perfectly
Solaris is a remake of Tarkokvsky's Solaris, which he made as a repudiation of 2001 A space Odyssey, a film of which he considered to be poor sci fi, due its cold and inhumane portrait of humanity...so yeah
The book is really good. It captures the sense of *alien* really well.
@@horsemumbler1 I’ll have to read it at some point!
"It's one of those well-put-together movies that I never want to watch again" *The Lighthouse poster pops in*
THANK YOU.
Christopher Nolan really doesn't understand people, I'm convinced.
Case in point: Cooper finds his elderly daughter and spends an hour with them. Discovers he has a dozen great grandchildren and decides, "Screw the various generational offspring and my legacy, I'm going to go start a family with a woman I don't know and don't really like that much in space alone and compleetly ignore them!"
For a guy who seems to care so much about family, he doesn't seem to care that his family is now 20 times bigger and filled with endless stories about his daughter growing up.
1. Imagine seeing your daughter way older than you. You will be focused on her and taking in emotionally that you are going to outlive your daughter. You are not going to pay attention to what’s happening around you.
2. He has never seen his generation and would probably prefer to spend what little time he has with his only surviving child.
3. He probably caught up with them and got to know all of them after going after brand since she is alone and thinks humanity from earth is never going to reach her. Imagine the amount of relief hearing that your friend who has died and returns with the news that people from earth are on their way.
His goal wasn't to start a family with her, he just wanted to rescue her from the planet. What kind of man leaves someone behind to rot on a hellscape like that? Elon Musk?
I actually found your channel because of your Interstellar Explained video!!!
Good times, amazing channel, keep it up!
Idk why , but as an American; I find your accents so pleasant.
Interstellar is one of my favourite films, I love the cinematography, the music and Matthew McConaughey in the midst of his McConaissance.
I had a conversation with my theater teacher where he said that McConaughey has never had a good performance. I brought up this movie and he just went “Fuck, you’re right.”
What’s the McConaissance... oh you mean the Matthewpalooza.
"Tenet" is actually pretty derivative of "Southland Tales" (which I have a real soft-spot for, kinda like "Sunshine" for James).
Both movies are pretty long and ambitious and contain:
-a POC doing hand gestures, a Caucasian with a firearm and a pretty useless written blonde, female character as the leads
-characters meeting versions of themself
-agents of a special task force
-an environmental message
-timetravel plot elements
-cars doing funky stuff
-quote by T. S. Eliot
-future technology
-atomic bombs
If only Krysta Now was in Tenet 🥂
Sci-fi is derivative of other sci-fi
I really enjoyed Southland Tales. Fucking weird fucking movie, but fun as long as you don't care that it won't make sense the first time you watch it (and probably not any time you watch it, honestly).
@SchulzEricT
What I liked about Southland Tales was how it was as if it's like 2 seasons of 22 episodes of a series edited into one movie.
It might sound like I'm being sarcastic but I'm not.
i held off watching this for so long, but at 5:30am (jan 20, 2021) i’ve just finished interstellar for the first time - and so, the first thing i’m doing (after wiping away the tears) is watching this
As an instant lover of the film and score, I am interested in your opinions! 💕
Interstellar is in my opinon one of the best films ever made
Agreed and also most people share the opinion. the only people who don’t like it are people who don’t understand
Flynn Murray eh, I like almost everything about it, but the ending just didn’t sit right with me personally. Idk if it was Murph being a grandma so the audience has no sympathy toward her, or if it was the whole “quantifiable love” thing, but other than that I love this film
Well thats like your opinion man
Flynn Murray You have to understand that people can just not like something. It isn’t because they don’t understand it. This is why so many people don’t like Nolan fans. Btw I actually really like Interstellar and most of Nolan’s films but I get why people don’t.
Watch more movies mate
The lighthouse gets better with each viewing in my opinion
Interstellar too, I don’t think it’s uncomfortable to rewatch, I think it gets better each time. I’ve watched it sober, on shrooms, on acid, sober again...etc...find something new everytime. I cried like a baby first time I watched it intoxicated lol
@@MikeKraze lighthouse was great but then it got too artsy towards the end and I didn't like that
Y’all literally forgot Tarantino as someone who gets to make whatever he wants xD
Actually this is a really good video
"Who's a known director who gets to do whatever they want?!"
In addition to Nolan and Spielberg: Tarantino, Scorcese, Innaritu, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Edgar Wright, the Cohen Bros, Danny Boyle, Denis Villeneuve, the Wachowskis, Steven Soderbergh, Terry Gilliam, Luc Besson.. and of course legend of the game Anthony Koutoufides!
@Nate Mauratt Most definitely! And he chose like 20 Avatar movies lmao
Gilliam can barely get the work made that he wants to. He has to basically panhandle for a lot of his small budgets. Plus, the Weinsteins absolutely eviscerated his Brothers Grimm movie. Hollywood's not exactly saying, "Hey, Terry mate, here's $180,000,000, come do anything you want!"
I loved The Lighthouse reference because that's exactly how I feel about that film.
Me too! I feel that way about Good Time and Uncut Gems also. They're awesome, but uncomfortable movies.
Meanwhile im here watching eraserhead once a month and dying to rewatch the lighthouse
Search for 'The Lighthouse, but it's edited like a Spongebob episode' here on RUclips. That should cheer you up!
@@Leprechaunproduction first 5 seconds is hilarious, not much else though
God I fucking love Lighthouse. That movie absolutely works for me. I could watch it every night and never get bored.
But I totally agree about the Safdie movies. Holy shit those are like living with an angry, abusive family.
This movie is what i thought Prometheus would end up being, minus the whole parts about the Aliens because I didn't read or watch the trailers. I have always wanted a modern deep-space semi scientifically-legit film based on humans trying to leave earth and with Interstellar we finally got it. It is among my top 10 not only due to the space travel but because the story is compelling and the score is unforgettable.
@@erikalenoeye8925shut up Erika, let him enjoy his movie
Semi-scientifically legit? LOL. You got more hard science in BM Begins.
I'm going to cause havoc once more by stating that Matt Damon is the only character in this movie who acts like a human
You know what, I think thd reason I hate his character is because he basically only exists for plot convenience reasons. (Blowing up the airlock... Which wouldnt deorbit a ship that badly btw, scott manley has an awesome video on how much delta V you could reasonably expect out of a ships atmosphere venting, using the ISS as an example). Just, in general, it was a poorly written sequence of events after he failed to dock.
But, looking back on it, I will say a guy in his position acting irrationally isnt particularly unhuman. Still, it feels like "and then crazy man happened". Like, it maybe would have been more impactful had he been developed throughout the movie as a character of some sort (which would be hard to do as someone left there in a cryo chamber... Maybe one of the ships crew couldve been the one to lose it.
All in all though, his existence detracts from the movie. Most of the movie features the unfamiliar environment itself as "the antagonist". Introducing a human antagonist into the mix kinda undermines that, because human problems almost feel petty by comparison. Interstellar is something I like to call a "chart movie" in that it feels like the writers were told to check boxes for what the movie should include or not to appeal to the most people possible. This actually undermines writing quality to an insane degree. For example, Mathew McConaughey was supposed to die in the black hole at the end. The writers were made to change it to something happier, with closure, since a test audience disliked that he dies at the end... It's f@#$ing stupid, because youre not supposed to LIKE that he's dead, thats not the point really. As much as Im not a fan of 2001 Space Odyssey (because its shrill and art-house as f@#$), at least I can understand why it was so influential. That movie featured an astronaut dying under mysterious circumstances exploring a ppace in the universe humans dont belong. Doing an homage to that, with the twist of self sacrifice for others, I think would've been a really impactful ending... But no, some execs ran a test audience, the execs listened to those absolute babies that it was "a bummer bro" that Mathew dies at the end, so the writers were told to undermine their own work with a rewrite that tacked on 2 minutes of BS to the run time. 2 minutes that rips open gaping plot issues. For example, the wormhole at the beginning is clearly a separate entity from the Gargantua blackhole... But the writers had to treat them as the same entity just to BS this guy back out of the event horizon. Worse, he shows up, and his daughter is like 100 years old, implying like 80 years of time dilation from falling into the blackhole... In real time dilation, going past the event horizon imparts an infinite amount of time dilation. Its one of the reasons its an "event horizon", there is literally no coming back to normal reality from there, as the act of falling in breaks causality. If a wormhole inside the blackhole spat him back out into normal space, he would be spat out basically at the end of the universe (the end time wise, not space wise), and his daughter and everyone he knew would have been dead an unholy and uncountable amount of time. I know this sounds like a stupid point to make since its a fiction, and movie stuff must happen, but Nolan jerked himself off so much on this movie's scientific accuracy as a way to drive plot... But he ignored Kip Thorne's advice whenever movie has to happen. He didnt actually stick to accuracy, he just treated science as like an all you can eat buffet of ideas, but cherry picked what he wanted to use and what he wanted to conveniently ignore for plot reasons. Then the movie ends on Mathew going on some quest to find whats her nuts (even though they developed almost no chemistry between them throughout the movie... Because he wasnt supposed to end up in a position where they could continue being friends, or more. They were colleagues who butted heads sometimes, and that was supposed to be it).
Anyway, this is what I mean by a "chart" movie, the writers were forced to break their own story just to check a box for a happier ending to please a test audience. The problem is hollywood is full of happy endings to the point where any movie you walk into, you can assume the main characters have plot armor. But it is that same saturation which makes sadder or meloncholic endings so impactful. The ending of Rogue One, the ending of Inception, the ending of 2001, Perfect Storm, or if you look to German films as examples, Das Boot or The Lives Of Others, these are all examples of movies that leave an incredible long lasting impression because of their impactful, but not particularly happy, endings, almost regardless of writing quality for the rest of the movie in these films (and some of these are questionable in that regard). Sometimes giving the audience closure or a happy ending ISNT what's needed to make a well remembered film, no matter how much a lowest common denominator test audience says thats what they want. So this is an example of how filling that checkbox kinda ruined the ending of Interstellar from an emotional payoff perspective as well.
Anyway, I bring all that up because it's a clearer example of the use of some sort of unspoken chart for what a movie must and must not include in modern day hollywood (and how some of the best movies toss that chart in the bin, INCLUDING NOLAN HIMSELF on Inception). But, the need for a human antagonist also feels like it maybe was a checkbox forced upon the writers. The film already clearly focuses on the unknowns of space travel, the environment itself, as "the antagonist". Shoe horning Matt Damon's character into that plot, creating childish human level drama in a movie ostensibly just about the wonder and danger of extreme environments in our universe, feels... Like an afterthought? It feels like maybe theres an unspoken "requirement" for a human antagonist in all action films nowadays, and in this movie, it really distracts from the core concept of it.
I realize 2001 Space Odyssey had an antagonist of sorts in the form of the ships computer going nuts. But Hal was developed as a character from the start of the film, not over half way through. And the inhospitable space around the ship means basically sharing the space with this murderous AI, so Hal as an antagonist actually works with the danger of the environment, as its only the environment that makes the astronaut have to share the ship with Hal. But, even this type of movie can work without a physical antagonist like Hal, as 2010 Space Odyssey proved. 2010 kinda ruined the mystery of _why_ Hal went nuts, with the almost handwave explanation of "conflicting programming". But, 2010 was a much more grounded film focussed much more on just the exploration of the unkown, and it really doesnt need a physical intelligent antagonist for that given the dangers of the unknown in the first place . If anything, I would liken Interstellar to being more like 2010 than 2001, given its excessive attempts at legitimizing its fictional story through real world science mcguffins (even the tesseract at the end is less mysterious than the ending of 2001). But, this movie focussed on the dangers and wonders of the unknown environment theyre exploring, like 2010... And if I recall correctly, 2010 didnt have some token human antagonist shoved in for all of half an hour or less of the film's runtime, seemingly just there to make plot happen.
Anyway, do I agree that Matt's character could make sense? Sure, absolutely, people do crazy sh@t when they feel like theyre drowning... I still cant stand his character, because it feels like it was shoehorned into the plot to tick some box, rather than feeling like he genuinely belongs in the plot. His very existence as an antagonist undermines the best themes of the film.
Ps, sorry about the diatribe. Having opinions about this film does indeed cause havoc for some reason.
Personally, I like debating the quality of Interstellar's writing, mostly because I think it COULD have been an amazing film, but otherwise has a lot of flaws. My experience in debating people after it first came out was diehard Nolan fans defending it as a perfect film that I just "didnt understand", or some sort of science bible... As a current physics major, that second point tends to piss me off. More so given I once read an article where a physics PHD thought she'd write an interesting article on the good and the bad of the science featured in Interstellar, thinking it'd be an interesting take... And she had to write an edit after publishing it asking the readers to please, for the love of god, stop sending her threats over email for daring to criticize the movie.
I feel like experiences like that with the Interstellar fandom kinda put a bad taste in my mouth for the film as a whole. It's a pretty and spectacular film, with an amazing score, I sometimes watch as a guilty pleasure, but I have a hard time watching it without remembering the idiots who'd rather personally attack others than admit MAYBE the movie has a few flaws.
Anyway, you seem like a reasonable fellow, so Im not accusing you of any of that. I guess Im just trying to provide some context why I have so much to write on the subject (because I've already thought it through in past arguments with havoc people).
I hope you have a wonderful day.
@@hatman4818 Ultimately, the character writing is Nolan's Achilles heel. I say character, but I mean 'information delivery vehicles' because the moment they hit space, they start acting like characters in the Star Wars prequels, blandly transmitting on-the-nose dialogue to one another. Nolan also has an issue with establishing characters onscreen. It took too long to understand that Romilly was on the flight or that Eric Foreman was in the movie. McConaghey's character is the best established, but he needed one less speech about humans being explorers and one more about the need to save humanity. Between setting up the dilemma and sowing the seeds of his 'destiny', we didn't really get that. In order to make the betrayal of Plan A work, you need McConaghey to want to go space for the right reasons. Instead we get a character who kinda, sorta wants to save humanity. That's why Damon's character stood out to me. Between everyone speechifying about love and dimensions, we get someone who tried to be brave and went crazy in the expanse of space. It made more sense than Hathaway's motivation, or the aforementioned end of the movie. People do not act like people in this film. There are two points where people laugh at McConaghey for not knowing things that he could not possibly know. I seriously think Nolan doesn't understand than social niceties and norms can inform character, instead of getting in the way of delivering information to the audience. Have humans behave like humans. It's not that hard. Anyway, good enough science and visuals, poor dialogue and character arcs other than the main relationship
@@GrainneMhaol That's generally my main issue with the movie as well. The science is really cool, I like the blocky robots, and I think it's a good premise. I personally really like that they didn't really get into specifics of why earth couldn't be saved, it's just kind of established as the cornerstone for the rest of the movie and then we move on.
But man, all of the characters are just meh.
"Love is the only force known to transcend time and space"
Who talks like that? Who would say that?
@@isaacgruver7061 Oh God, the dialogue. People don't act like people. They act like future space people.
all of your interstellar videos are actually a really good video
Loved the Kingdom Hearts Destiny Islands theme playing in the background of James and Mason talking about how sad this movie is! 😂
it's legitimately shocking to me that Ben didn't insert an image of an elk at 1:14
Or Rogan
The dog sneeze has literally made my day better, thank you!!
The weirdest thing about this movie for me, is how Cooper just seems to totally forget about his son. He sees his daughter at the end, doesn't seem at all interested in his descendants who are there as well, and doesn't even ask about his son.
And even the reunion with the daughter was very underwhelming. Like you said, all his other descendents ignore him and he ignores them too, then his daughter pretty much tells him to scram after not seeing him for several DECADES. The excuse was "no parent should watch their child die", but come tf on, he has just had a very harrowing journey in space and finally reunites with her after losing so much time together, and the first thing he's gonna do is jump BACK into a spaceship? So unrealistic. The characters don't really act like real people.
@@ahsink.3080 Exactly! You explained that better than I did. His family looks at him like, "Meh, whatever." This is an astonishing moment, people!
Became one of my fave movies. Still in awe of it.
I was so bored the first time I watched interstellar, but one day I had an urge to rewatch it and now I think it’s a masterpiece. I guess you have to be in a certain mindset going into it. I loved the science in it and I still don’t really understand the ending, but I still love it
Absolutely correct. I've more often had the opposite for example BladeRunner 2049 I happen to believe is a masterpiece, and yet I'm hardly ever in the right mood to go back to it. Can even happen with less heady stuff like for me it's Pixar's Up. Most people think it a wonderful movie but I saw it in the theater and for whatever reason just was not having it. Was probably just in a cynical crappy mood that night. I'm sure if I were to go back and watch it again my viewpoint would shift.
I just watched this a second time and I was still bored with it. Went to the movies in 2014 to see it and wasted my time
When they went down to that water planet, the anxiety and the sense of urgency in me was at an all time high, knowing that with every moment they spent on that planet they’d be losing years of time back home on earth. What made it worse was that you can hear a ticking clock in the background in that scene to illustrate that years are passing with every minute. All of this was nail biting and stressful in the first viewing only to be trumped by the docking scene that completely left me on the edge of my seat. Such a brilliant film!
that is not a "picture" of a black hole. It is an image that was composited from billions of radio astronomy data points.
Whatever nerd
Your videos are one of my greatest pleasures. You can take that as either an incredible compliment, or horribly sad reflection on the state of my life.
"Y'know what I like about my daughter? She gets older, I stay the same age. Alright alright alright!"
And that docking scene was amazing. You guys are crazy!
Props to Ben for editing this one. We see you Ben Kenobi! Keep up the awesome work mate
"It's big organs all the time." Did they steal this quote from my wife?
Letters from a Screenplay just did a video on this movie examining why the plot threads feel a little unsatisfying, particularly in the final act.
You guys honestly have the best movie discussion channel on RUclips
The science that went into taking that real photo of a real black hole is really interesting! There’s a great TED talk on it for anybody interested!
What's the title mate? Might give that a look
Matt J Katie Bouman - How to take an image of a black hole! It’s a great watch!
@@Evanz111 Nice, cheers mate.
Ah Of course, this was a pre-recorded video of the last remaining moments of Mason
May he rest
Or perhaps this is a miracle
How they ended up rendering the black hole is an actual awesome story
The initial interstellar explained video is the reason i got hooked on Mr. Sunday Movies and TWP Podcast !! Best Video on youtube 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You guys made me want to and thus actually watch all 3 Bill & Ted movies, was a fun weekend so thanks mates.
On Interstellar: I think the long docking shots would have been more interesting if I hadn't seen Gravity around the same time.
I like how the editor is a Kingdom Hearts fan and subtly puts in references :3
Movies of that elk? Like The Deer Hunter?
So glad I'm not the only person who heard him say Elk. Lol
Like "Moose-ic and Lyrics" ; )
This is one of the funniest videos I have seen on this channel. Well done!
The black hole was one of the first accurately represented 3D black holes. Not just the sci-fi classic flat disc black holes. One of Kip's big add to the movie.
I think Quentin can make pretty much whatever he wants
I was thinking the same thing. However, he's not making high budget movies. Don't get me wrong, barely any director would constantly get the budgets that he gets, to make those kind of movies. But the numbers are still on a completely different level, compared to Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk and Tenet.
Interstellar: Nothing will violate the established physical laws.
Also Interstellar: Magic bookshelf!
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

13:19 Oh the Kingdom Hearts Music! Aaaw Ben, you have such good taste! Bless your heart (no pun intended)
I love how James is just yelling about scientific stuff and Destiny Islands is just playing in the background without a care in the world
The docking sequence after it blows up is absolutely incredible. Maybe the most suspenseful experience I've ever had in a theatre.
I like how this physicist said everything had to obey science. It takes a massive rocket to get their spaceship to leave Earth's gravitational pull and into outer space. Yet when they are on the water planet that has gravity strong enough to bend time and create mountain size waves, they simply just fly off of it. Yeaaaaaaaaaaah.............................
And then there was the black hole...
I mean, the wave-making gravity wasn't exactly going _down_ lol
I'm new here, but let me just say all of the kingdom hearts references in the editing give me LIFE
You know what bothers me? The part with "the first handshake". At first I thought "Oh, she put her hand into another dimension and metaphorically called it a handshake. Cute." but then it turns out she actually felt a handshake. HOW DID SHE NOT FREAK OUT?! Imagine you put your hand into a weird dimensional anomaly and someone SHAKES YOUR FUCKING HAND.
This is such a good movie. Arguably the best Nolan film
It's good, but it's definitely not his best
This is my favourite Nolan movie.
Alonso Arana *Arguably
@theone Andonly Seriously? It may not be perfect to but to say it's straight up not good? It's still one of the best space movies from the last decade. Beats out stuff like Gravity or the martian imo, which weren't bad either. I think you could definitely say something like Passengers is objectively "not good". But interstellar? Maybe not GOAT, but still good.
@GiRayne Yeah. I really enjoyed this movie. Part of the reason is the soundtrack.
I'm one of those people who didn't bother seeing Interstellar, and I watched this whole video.
I'm really sad this isn't going in H8 mail.
Lol you’re gonna think it’s horrible based on this video, but in reality it’s a masterpiece imo and many others
Bro whyyyyyyyyy
Samesies my friend, samsies.
The fact there isn’t a robot chicken that is a commercial for Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville on that water planet is criminal
I love the docking scene! No time for caution is amazing.
