Sci-Fi Interstellar - Part 10

[Marvolo]

That would suck. That's what I'd get if I got that pack, with my luck.

Its not exclusive to the walmart version. A film cell is included with all the blu-rays no matter where you get it at.

But Ive read that some of the target steelbooks didnt have one in the case even tho the sticker saying a film cell was included was on the front of the case. Seems like a factory screwup.

Even international releases? Awesome, if so.

No. Only the U.S. DVD and blu-ray. Paramount distributed the blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. WB distributed the DVD and the blu-ray in the other regions and they didn't include a film cell.

 

[titansupes]

Ah well, never mind then.

 

[Snow Queen]

I have yet to buy it, but the Canadian one from Best Buy and Wal-Mart appears to include it as well. At least it's advertised that they do.

This looks insane on Blu-Ray. It actually took my breath away. I was stunned. Even the most mundane shots like being inside the house at the beginning was literally like being in the theater all over again. It's ridiculously powerful, epic filmmaking. I didn't love the movie when I saw it twice in theaters, but watching it last night in the confines of my own home was a total deal-breaker: It's Nolan's greatest movie by far. Hugely ambitious, riveting, emotional, a totally fascinating and unique achievement. I can't even fathom what he'll do next.

I got it from Target yesterday, the steel book Blu Ray. Funny thing about the film cell

Spoiler

I hadn't seen the movie yet, so i look at the film cell and I'm like , "is that Matt Damon?" I didn't think it was because I'm sure I would have heard if he was in the movie. So I scour IMDB looking for an actor that looks like Matt Damon and sure enough, there is his name at the bottom. Weird. I also didn't know Casey Afflek was in it.

New viewing made me realize: Tom's first born, Jesse, died. When Murph tells him that dad did not raise him that way, his reply was that gramps raised him, whose grave is out back with his mommy, and Jesse.

BTW, "Jesse" -- real subtle Nolan, real subtle.

So weird, I totally missed that in the theater too. It completely went over my head. Another thing I missed. When Brand goes to make contact with Tesseract-Cooper's hand, her hand is warped and bent to the side. Didn't even notice that.

And yet another thing I didn't realize: Mann was sleeping in his water chamber for 20 years.

But I do have two questions I can't figure out:

- Why is the tesseract depicting Murph's bedroom? Who decided that it would be her bedroom? Why does it need to be her bedroom?

- When Cooper communicates morse code on Murph's watch, it's still communicating morse when she's outside the bedroom. Is Cooper following her to NASA too, or is he still in the bedroom?

 

[Supernova]

Still a brilliant piece of Cinema except for the Sound being way too loud and drowning out some great performances.

Hmm, can't make the connection here.

- Why is the tesseract depicting Murph's bedroom? Who decided that it would be her bedroom? Why does it need to be her bedroom?

This was one of my first questions to my friend when leaving the theater.

If anything, I suppose those evolved versions of ourselves decided on creating it through Murphy's bedroom since the main connection they relied upon was Murphy and Cooper. So that's a basic location for a father to communicate with his young daughter.

But I still leaned over to my friend during the movie and was like "I think he's stuck behind the wall in his house"

 

[BatLobster]

Yeah, what is the hidden meaning of the kid being named Jesse?

I originally assumed that the tesseract depicts whatever your subconscious chooses. But now I'm not so sure. I feel like it was planned by other forces. But on the flipside, a little girl's bedroom being projected inside a black hole in the middle of the universe seems awfully random.

I love how the whole movie purposely makes no sense. It's intelligently written because it's conceptually nonsensical. I think this is when Nolan is at his best. I get the sense that he and Jonah are grinning when they're writing these paradoxical scripts.

Essentially, Cooper wouldn't have left the planet if he hadn't sent the message from inside the tesseract, and Cooper wouldn't have been inside the tesseract if he hadn't left the planet. It inherently doesn't work, and that's why it's so genius - Nolan goes ahead and goes there and embraces that and says, "Yeah, it doesn't make sense." I love that.

I can't think of other stories like this that "don't work" other than Primer - which is a favorite of mine. I'd really like to see Nolan tackle more stuff with time travel. He plays with time here and there with Memento, The Prestige, Inception, and this, but I really want him to go all the way with it and just turn our brains into putty. t:

 

[rashad]

Got mine.

 

[JaD]

Wait a sec, I think I got it now.

Casey Affleck played Robert Ford in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

So he killed a Jesse in Interstellar too. Nice one

 

[Gold Samurai]

Never thought I would say this but I got a John Lithgow film cell

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Thank you, JaD. Nolan is a fan of that flick.





Who in their right mind isn't?

 

[JaD]

That is a great movie, I can't remember the reception it got but I thought it was terrific.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Nolan should do a western next.

 

[Marvolo]

Nolan should do a western next.

And he should hire Hoyte Hoytema or Emmanuel Lubezki as DOP.

 

[Gee]

A Wyatt Earp biopic with David Bowie as the titular character.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

The neo-case is freaking beautiful.

 

[killface]

up to this day, i'm still figuring out why deakins didn't win best cinematographer for his work in this movie.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Here is my IMAX film cell of Anne Hathaway from about the last 3 or 4 minutes of the movie.

When he first falls into the tesseract, Cooper tries to stop himself/get Murph to stop him from leaving, and he concludes that "they" bringing him to the tesseract wasn't working. But then at the 2:28 minute mark, TARS says "The didn't bring us here to change the past," and it dawns on Cooper that: "No, they didn't bring us here at all . . . We brought ourselves . . . I brought myself here! . . . I thought they chose me. But they didn't choose me, they chose her . . . To save the world . . . All of this is one little girl's bedroom . . . That's why I'm here. I'm going to find a way to tell Murph." Again at 2:33: "They aren't 'beings.' They're us." A future us. Makes sense and, per JaD, explains why the tesseract was built to access only Murph's room. This movie is brilliant.
