Christopher Nolan’s fascination with the intricacies of time is on full display in his 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar. Starring Matthew McConaughey as Cooper, an engineer and former pilot who sets out on a mind-bending journey to find a new home for humanity, the film explores the limits of time, space, and the love between a father and his daughter.

While the relationship between Cooper and his daughter Murphy is the film's core, the paradoxical and ambiguous elements that Nolan injects into his central story raise dozens of questions — questions that require more than viewing to even attempt to answer. Here are things in Interstellar you notice after watching more than once.

    Please Note: We meant to say time on the water planet moves slower than on Earth, with one hour on the planet being equivalent to approximately seven Earth years.

    TARS is the real hero. You can’t convince me otherwise.
  • @LonelyRacoon
    You realize how epic Interstellar is when you see videos discussing the movie 7 years after its release. Damn! Nolan is a genius
  • @TelpPov
    I just don't understand why those relatives of Murph didn't react to their grand/great grandfather who just walked into the room as a middle aged man.
  • @Akekala
    I can't explain it but I cry everytime I watch this movie.
  • @ssm100
    Couldn't disagree with you more about the ending. It isn't anticlimactic. It shows the love of a father and daughter while also showing us that Murphy truly became her own person. So good.

    Something I haven't seen mentioned is that the film's interpretation of Murphy's Law is, in a way, actually describing the fundamental aspects of the 5th dimension, which resides beyond the 4th dimension of linear time. "Anything that can happen will happen". In the 5th dimension, this translates to all possible events occurring simultaneously throughout all of possible time. Cooper names his daughter Murphy and she ultimately solves the gravity equation by coming to the realization that her father was actually communicating with her via the principles of 5th dimension. Thus, Murph (Murphy's Law) was ultimately the key to understanding the 5th dimension and solving the mystery of gravity itself.

    It's interesting to think that from Cooper's perspective, he left on the trip wiser than his daughter and coaching her about life only to return a short time later as the 'child' being coached about life by his wiser daughter through the phrase "No parent should have to watch their own child die".

    I feel like these videos miss the most important message of this movie: as a tangible, love is the only thing that transcends gravity, time and energy in our universe. Nolan is quite clear about this: Cooper and Murph, Brand and Wolf...

    This movie breaks my heart. When I watched it in college I thought it was an excellent and well thought out Sci fi. I loved the concepts and thought it was amazing because it did mostly everything right. Them I became a dad. Now, this film is hard as hell for me to watch. I have 2 sons, and the idea of missing my children's entire life is brutal to me. That, and I've lost a child. The scene where Coopers son tells him about losing Jesse broke me like almost no other story. The pain of a father losing their kid isn't usually explored in detail. Most of the time it centers on the mom, like the fathers are just able to move on. We aren't. When we lost my daughter it left me broken. I'm still broken 4 years later. I love this movie, and I still watch it from time to time, but I cry every single time now.
  • Does anyone appreciate the ending as much as I? I think its probably the best final two minutes of any film, ever. Cooper swiftly went from reconnecting with his daughter who once struggled with the thought that he had left her to die intentionally, to one of the most amazing voiceovers ever done with that phenomenal score. They immediately acknowledged their goal to solve this problem had cost them a large piece of their lives and relationship. And we get to see how much Cooper's promise meant to Murphy. But she's dying and knows her father still has problems to solve, and both the legs and the brain to take action, sending him out to fulfill one more promise. To bring back Brand, whom the audience almost forgot entirely in that moment. I'd love a short 5 or 10 minute film of Cooper's landing on Edmond's Planet, with Brand's eyes locking on TARS and Coop exiting a Ranger scanning her camp ... but I just dont think anything could top my own imagination. Its perfect.
  • Things I have noticed. When I first saw Interstellar I wasn't a parent. Now I have a 4 year old daughter and I blub hopelessly when he leaves her, and at the end.
  • Actually the Cooper helping himself paradox makes sense when you realize all timelines are happening at once. That's how I understood the movie anyway. Nolan uses that concept in Inception and Tenet too.
  • @fj4809
    Can't watch it without crying, my eyes even welled up at the short clips in this video. No movie has had as much of an impact on me as this.
  • @baranbaysal7033
    ANTICLIMACTIC????!??? I have seen this move more than 5 times, I’d watch it another 50 times and still cry like the first time I’ve watched it when Copper comes back to Murphy in the hospital
  • I don't know why I feel such a connection to this movie, whether it's the sci-fi nature, or the many themes? or the haunting soundtrack or the ending that makes me get emotional every time I've watched It? or maybe it just that it's another well made movie that explored many things about us, and our surrounding's? Whatever it is?? it's something that is beautiful and repeated viewing's on drive that point even more.

    I feel like this movie wasn’t appreciated enough or I’m just late to the party. It’s always worth a rewatch. Being a father with a brilliant daughter who wants to be an “engineer scientist” makes it that much better. She’s finally at an age where she can watch it with me, comprehend it and appreciate it.
