Sci-Fi Interstellar - Part 10

[Tacit Ronin]

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

You're lucky. I got a cell of Michael Caine dying.

I envy those who got the money shots. Damn you, luck of the draw.

Finally saw this yesterday and I must admit that I didn't like it very much. It's too long and goofy.

And Rocketman, regarding your 2nd Q:

- 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?

At the 2:30 mark, Cooper says: "We code the data into the movement of the second hand." So rather than just tapping on the second hand the one time on screen, they literally program the second hand to repeat the data whenever, wherever, and for whomever figures out what's going on with the watch. This also answers the one commentator on the IGN video that hafizbat posted back on page 6 who asks what if Murph misses the first 5 hours of the data.

Huh. So how does Cooper know at what age to send the message to her? Is that where the love element comes into play, where they're just communicating through emotional instinct rather than gravity? Like, if Cooper can see Murph at every age inside the tesseract, what if he tries sending it to her at an age where she doesn't give a ****? Why does it happen to be the one moment where she's older and she decides to go back to the house?

^ That wasn't being humorous, by the way - I'm genuinely curious about this, because it's by far my favorite sequence in the entire movie, maybe in all of Nolan's movies, and I absolutely love how I don't fully understand it.

My sentiments exactly. Its like our world & food sources are dying out but I don't think they ever went into great detail what caused it but we have to search for new life sustaining planets. I guess all humans in the new world would have to be vegetarian because they didn't think of a way or even plan to bring back animals that had died out on earth. I would have much more preferred real aliens but I guess in Nolan's concept of space aliens don't exist aside from the Tesseract creation that allow Mcconaughey to spy on his daughter.

They say in the movie that it was a blight. It attacked crops and vegetation. Do you know what happens when you remove larges swathes of vegetation and low lying greenery worldwide during a time of drought? You get the US Dust Bowl of the 1930s cranked up to a million. Thats why those massive dust storms kept happening in the film. Due to population expansion, the blight killing crops and greenery, and lack of resources such as water for irrigation the top layers of dirt was turning to dust and the soil was becoming unfarmable and what did latch on and grow was dying from the blight. All this information was in the film.

Guess I must have missed those bits & pieces watching the movie for the time while wearing not so very good headphones that were cranked too loud.

My cell is of MM crying after the videos in the spaceship...

 

[Faora]

Vinyl.

 

[Marvolo]

How much and where can i buy that!?

 

[flickchick85]

My cell is of two characters (in the spacesuits) standing in a doorway of the ship. I'll have to watch the movie again to figure out which two characters it is, lol.

I've got the same one. At first I thought it was Anne from the back, but I'm not so sure.

 

[BatLobster]

My cell is a shot of Saturn.

Post a picture, I'll be able to tell.

 

[JackWhite]

I instantly thought of you when I was trying to decipher who it was. I will have to take a picture of it and post it here to get some clarification.

I'm trying to guess what yours is... ha

Am I close?

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I got the Walmart neo case too. My film cell is an ots of Cooper in the cockpit.

 

[Gee]

How much and where can i buy that!?

Amazon has it on pre-order. Comes out later this month.

The tesseract scene is amazing, and having the dvd/bd to parse the dialogue makes it all the more revelatory. At 2:31, TARS and Cooper speak directly to your point: "TARS: What if she doesn't come back for it [the watch]? Cooper: She will. She will. TARS: How do you know? Cooper: Because I gave it to her." So they code the data in the watch for whenever she "comes back for it." I'm thinking that second hand was twitching for years until Murph finally went back up to her room (she avoided doing so before). But another possibility is that Cooper moved to the time in Murph's room when she looks down at the second hand to code it. I like the former better.

Heh, believe it or not I'm actually kind of jealous of others who have clear, well-lit character shots. The Endurance/Saturn shot is one of the most stunning in the movie, but there's so much black in the frame which feels a bit redundant looking at it in a film cell. Still very cool though.

Yeah, I definitely took it that the watch was sitting there on the shelf ticking with the data encoded for years until Murph finally went back to her room. I prefer that take because then the film is merely showing us on the moment Murph finds what's been there all along, vs. depicting this grand coinciding moment in space/time...which is a little more palatable to me...if that makes sense.

The tessaract scene is trippier than anything in Inception.

I remember my friend and I both looking at each other with a face when Cooper stopped flying through the area and started touching the walls.

Then I leaned over and whispered "Is he in another dimension right now?"

Finally got my hands on a copy.

 

[JaD]

Amazon decided to use their crappy personal shipping carrier for my copy of Interstellar and so even though tracking said it was delivered it was nowhere to be found.

Pretty sure it was stolen since I looked through our little home security footage and no one dropped anything off. Hopefully it's here today. (along with my new kicks )
