Just curious, if Interstellar does win Best Picture.... how will you react? **expects a bunch of gifs** I'll be a bit disappointed. I know that a film like Slumdog Millionaire did not deserve to win in 2008 over films like Wall-E and The Dark Knight but rewarding Nolan for a film less deserving (IM...

If time is a physical dimension for the 5D beings, then a specific action or catastrophe that might occur to humanity would be, to them, like seeing a forest fire or ecological disaster. Except this particular forest fire might just wipe out humanity altogether. It brings to mind the notion that ti...

After watching the film 7 times in theaters, I'm really starting to think that Nolan intended for TARS to be seen as the main character. I think the reason TARS wasn't marketed for the film was due to the fact that he didn't have the same type of established appeal that Matthew already has in pop-c...

Damon was the standout of the supporting cast. I loved how during the struggle between him and Cooper, he didn't shout or get furiously pissed off. He had this hauntingly calm way of speaking.

More despair - Cooper and TARS ...

Notice how the tempo in 'Mountains' literally starts doubling in speed. Telegraphic of course the traumatic loss of time while they are on the planet. So good.

The clicking clock in "Mountains" is so great.

Dr. Mann and Prof. Brand are more aptly stated as antagonists -- they erect huge obstacles from Cooper's central goal -- to return to his daughter.

OK, I'm not religious but I am literary (I hope!). Christian allegory has existed since the Middle Ages. Paradise Lost, etc., etc., down to Francois Mauriac and C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. It exists in movies too (Robert Bresson and Luis Bunuel for example). I do think, after having seen Interst...

1.) Why does Mann want to kill Cooper? If he was desperate to be rescued, why does he murder his rescuers? 2.) If he misses human companionship so much, why does he want to go to Edmund's planet where he'll be alone with the embryos? Thanks! 1) Mann knows that Cooper wants the ship. They have mutua...
