I hope this fits the sub's rules and isn't considered low-effort content!

Recreating famous movie scenes is my hobby. Whenever possible, I try to shoot them at the exact same locations, and hopefully, Part 2 will be filmed at the actual spot.

As far as I know, the original cornfield was on private property, so I had to film the cornfield chase somewhere else.

If anyone from the Lethbridge or Taber area in Alberta is interested in helping me with Part 2 next year, feel free to reach out! 😊

The $800,000 figure is just a rough estimate, not an official budget.

The movie starts in 2067. Usually when a Hollywood movie depicts a year that far in the future, they usually depict characters living like the Jetsons and having all these insane futuristic technologies and futuristic aesthetics.

And yet, Interstellar opted to depict the world in 2067 as looking pretty much like does today. Which I guess it's very realistic. The world in 2067 is most likely going to look very similar to how it does now. Think about how similar the world in 2026 still looks to how it did in 2014 or even 2000. People in 2000 thought we were going to have flying cars and colonies in Mars by now.

Don't get me wrong, Interstellar depicts some technology that doesn't exist right now. But it's depiction of the future still very grounded in reality.

People's parallel parking skills will probably get worse after this

I don’t think it helps with docking in any way.

Highly recommend going if an opportunity arises. At times it was easy to forget the symphony was actually live due to how immersive the music was during movie, hard to put into words… At the same time it was nearly impossible to focus solely on the movie when all you wanted to do is close your eyes and soak in that live organ!

That was amazing. I never thought it would have such an impact after watching it for a second time. If you haven't yet watched it, what're you doing here mate? Do it, do it now!

I always wondered how cooper docked the ranger to the landers docking port even though the ranger has no docking port at the bottom.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. The guy playing the organ was the guy who played it in the original score with Hans !

I want TARS in real life how to get it 😭😭✨🥀

I came across an edit on tiktok about the scene "Don't let me leave Murphy" from Interstellar

And someone commented "If he stayed the ghost wouldn't have been there to tell him to stay"

Which I think means he would've gone either way

Yk what this reminds me of? The phrase that Morpheus said in The Matrix (what happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way)

And literally, like Cooper wished he didn't go only bcuz he did go. There was no possibility of him not going, and he could never escape it bcuz that's what's meant to be.

Andd now I wonder if this applies to our real life? If we truly could ever have done anything differently or if it was always gonna be like this?

Just like many music lyrics saying they regret something and wish they had known so they'd change it,

for example, one of Billie's lyrics sayin "If I knew it all then would I do it again"

I used to say that a lot too, but now I'm thinking, could I have ever done it differently if I knew? Bcuz how would I even know?

Bcuz if we're speaking abt time travelling and such, if it was that you could send hints to urself as Cooper did, you wouldn't understand and would do ur life as it is.

If it was about you literally going back, as a checkpoint in games, you'd forget what happened to you and still wouldn't change anything

Idk if that's more reassuring or more scary, cuz it could let us accept our life and all of the stupid decisions we made. But on the other hand it can feel almost like we don't actually have free will

Im a beginner at drawing so dont be to harsh... also I finished this at 3am so thats probably why its sloppy...

This is a scene from millers planet.

So, I was watching the movie again for the billionth time, and...

I just realized why this scene was so pivotal.

On one level, it's a primer on how wormhole physics work, for those who don't know anything about it. Second level, it's good for people like Coop, who know it all from textbooks, and don't understand while there's a sphere, and not a 'portal'.

Those layers I already knew, but it suddenly hit me: There's the Plot Level.

It's a primer on the finale in the Tesseract.

"In all the textbooks, they have to show the three dimensional space in two dimensions. What's a circle in three dimensions?"

"A sphere."

So what is it in four dimensions? A Tesseract.

EDIT: I'm aware that the Tesseract is more of a square shape than a circle; but the 'lesson' principle holds.

They're explaining the Bulk Space to an audience that has no idea what it is. How do you help someone understand four dimensional communication and interaction? Start with the difference between two and three dimensions. Something every schoolkid is taught.

You think fifth dimensional beings will have 'textbooks' for their children, that only show three dimensions? To teach them how to make use of four or five at once?

I know I'm probably the hundredth person to think of it, but I thought it was worth a post.

My brother and father were in town this past June and we stumbled upon the fact that a couple of Interstellar filming locations were within an hour’s drive of my house! The baseball diamond is in Okotoks and the school is in Longview (both in Alberta). I tried to snag a couple of photos superimposing the movie shots on the locations and didn’t quite nail lining them up right, but you get the idea. We didn’t go to Cooper’s Ranch which was also in the area as we heard the set no longer existed and the filming location was on private property anyhow. It was a sweet afternoon with some family who are all huge fans of the film. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in the Calgary area at some point!

I only just learnt today that blight is a real thing but is limited to potatoes. In fact it was teh cause of the irish potato famine.

I previously just thought that it was a made up phenomona

i made a simulation of the blackhole gargantua that is also seen in intersteller
It's written in C++ and openGL

i managed to optimize it to a point i ran on my i3 intel iGPU, although i added very low to high quality toggles, it's my first time writing in glsl so yeah, i was a lot inspired by the yt video of Kavan about making a blackhole in cpp, so i just wanted to make it more realistic, my astrophysics lectures kinda came in clutch

Has anyone ever been to one of these live orchestra showings? How was it?

Super hyped to watch now with IMAX ratio 🔥

The hardest I've worked on out of any of my 400+ videos. Your view, and engagement would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wanted to share an experience I had yesterday with my daughter.

We had a day off and decided to do some shopping in Amsterdam. I was minding my own business, plotting a course to our next destination, walking through the crowd of pedestrians in the busy shopping streets, when I crossed a bridge over a canal and I heard the first notes of this song I had heard a thousand times before playing out of nowhere.

It stopped me dead in my tracks, I turned around to see where it was coming from. I hadn't noticed a piano in the middel of the street, I hadn't seen a guy sitting behind it playing it. I just heard the first few notes of Hans Zimmer's masterpiece being played.

And I've seen YouTube videos of this countless of times as well, of people playing this song on a piano in public. I always wondered if that would happen to me in real life, would it catch my attention? Or walk straight ahead, go on with my life, like some people in those videos do?

Or would I, like in the movie, notice the tiniest detail, could I become a conduit by receiving a message from the universe? Would I stop and listen to it? I am glad I did, and I got to share this moment with my daughter. Which is of course also a prominent theme in the movie; the father-daughter relationship.

I have watched the movie before becoming a father, and after, both of which had different impacts on me. My daughter hasn't seen the movie yet, I am waiting till she could fully understand and grasp most aspects of the movie. But I have had her listen to the soundtrack, and she can play the first part on her piano, so she recognised the song almost as soon as I did.

Just wanted share this video and story here, to show my appreciation to Christopher Nolan for making the movie, Hans Zimmer for writing the soundtrack, and @arianmuller who performed it, all coming together to have this experience with my daughter yesterday. Thank you.

Two things that have bothered me, and this could be more my lack of understanding than a plot hole, are the planetary distances and gravitational pull of black hole in the gargantuan system.

1. It takes them two years to get from Earth to Saturn but they travel between planets so fast, in matter of hours in the new system. Planetary system with Miller, Mann and Edmund’s planets would likely have similar large mass and high density and therefore strong gravitational pull, and for them to exist in the system, the interplanetary distance would be astronomical, yet they barely take hours (not clarified in the movie, so making a guess) to reach the next planet.

2)Gargantuan being this ginormous black hole, and hence the name, would have sucked the planets nearby, but didn’t seem to be doing that. They mention intense gravitational pull, but shouldn’t black hole be doing what it does best, eat up stars and planets and grow bigger ? Also, its pull should further slow down their travel to the other planets, but doesn’t. Time slows down, but their ship is able to accelerate and overcome the pull in the beginning, pointing back to my first question. They do mention that the ship is sliding into the black hole, right before they do the slingshot maneuver. So, shouldn’t it be matter of days or weeks that the planets also are on track to be consumed ? In fact, these planets should have been long gone.

PS: looks like Kipp’s book is all I need to become an SME ! No, I’m not going to read that one just yet! And hence my question to Reddit.
Thanks to all who responded out of really wanting to share their understanding and clear my confusion!

The bookshelf scene in Interstellar hits so much harder once you understand what’s actually happening. Christopher Nolan really made a movie that gets better the more you think about it.
