Ariadne-Son of Midas (know your Greek mythology)leads Theseus through maze
Yusuf-Related to Quran, starts with pleasant dream/can interpret dreams
The rest not so much but its so cool how much effort he puts into not only the directing but also the screenplay. So many different levels.
Still haven't seen Interstellar but from what I read sounds like I should make it a priority.
"Eames" is a pretty important one too, Charles and Ray Eames were extremely influential designers and architects.
When you go see Interstellar, see if you can spot some notable books in a particualr scene (don't want to spoil anything at all, you'll know the scene when you get to it). yet another little easter egg by Nolan.
PudgeWow, bumping your thread because I finally saw it.
As a physicist, I was stoked as fuck. Pretty much the entire time! The fact was that they had the science close enough that I was like yeah sure send it, that checks out with me. But then they did this; the shit we have no idea about they took to 10. We have no idea what happens upon the event horizon. Absolutely no idea. So the Nolan bru's were like ok fuck y'all IMAGINATION. It was perfect. I was so happy
This is totally untrue;
No such thing as "spaghetification" We have noooooo idea. The differential equations that dictate what happens very veeeerry close to the event horizon, break down at and beyond the event horizon. The math stops working. So this is a totally common belief that is straight horse puck
But I am still brigging big time. Any resurgence in these convos??
THANK YOU! We have no idea. And it's ignorant to think that we do have an idea. It's not a bad thing to be unaware of the unknown. Some things aren't supposed to be truly known...
ok. i saw this yesterday and holy fuck it was unreal. i made sure not to read anything or even watch the trailer about it and i was blown away. definitely my favourite film to date
i also greatly appreciate a solid film score and boy did Interstellar touch me there.
beantownsmugglerTHANK YOU! We have no idea. And it's ignorant to think that we do have an idea. It's not a bad thing to be unaware of the unknown. Some things aren't supposed to be truly known...
it's a supermassive rotating black hole so spaghettification doesn't apply
stucciok. i saw this yesterday and holy fuck it was unreal. i made sure not to read anything or even watch the trailer about it and i was blown away. definitely my favourite film to date

moistI've seen it three times now. Need more money.
I've seen it three times too haha...And tomorrow is the last day that it's in IMAX before the Hobbit takes over, so I was actually thinking about going to see it one last time just because it is such an experience. And since I am newly unemployed, I ain't got shit to do tomorrow.

For me, the soundtrack is the most important part of a movie. And a soundtrack can save a terrible movie IMO. However, in this case both the film and the soundtrack were simply incredible and complemented each other perfectly. I've listened to the entire soundtrack quite a few times now on youtube.
I'll probably buy the album and obviously the movie when it's released.

Another fantastic score by Hans Zimmer.
So worth buying a hard copy of the album, I love it. Disappointing that they didn't include the docking song version from the movie, but people are making quality ones online so its okay.
extravertThe actors did the best with the script they had. Im a big Nolan fan, but the dialogue in this movie was cringe worthy at times (the love speech, you know which one).
The visuals were awesome, and seeing it in IMAX was the way to go.
The love speech was supposed to be cringe worthy. The whole point of it was to show human emotion getting in the way of survival, the concept of putting the individual before the collective - a major theme in the movie. She was trying desperately to justify her actions but no one else on the ship bought it. No one was really suggesting love was the 5th dimension, not even brand herself.

This is basic storytelling. You don't just pick names out of a hat haha.
Saw it on the last day of IMAX, didn't even notice the length on the movie. It really took me out of the theater and into their world compared to seeing the latest hobbit movie. Nolan did a killer job. Mind blown not because of any crazy twists but because it was such a dope experience.

Stoked you got to see it in IMAX before it left theaters! Anyone who didn't see this movie in IMAX definitely missed out on an insane cinematic rollercoaster of an experience.

The experience is what really drew me into the movie. I was immersed the entire time and hardly noticed the length because I was so focused and intrigued by the story.
SKI.INGSo worth buying a hard copy of the album, I love it. Disappointing that they didn't include the docking song version from the movie, but people are making quality ones online so its okay.
So apparently Nolan told Zimmer to write a song about being a father without telling him anything about the film. Just write a song.
Hans wrote Day One without any knowledge of the film and it became the main theme.
Then Nolan told him what the movie was about and they based the rest of the score around that song.
I thought it was great visually, obviously very intriguing which I loved most, but for me it was a hard movie to watch. I can't put my finger on why, but there were often times I felt restless and needed to shift around because I was kind of pushing me out rather than drawing me in. Like there were certain moments where I definitely felt like an audience member rather than someone in the experience. I probably won't be seeing it again, but I absolutely loved the concepts and how it was thought out.
Single best theater experience for me ever. 3 hours passed really fast.
I was for the first time in many years able to just sit back and enjoy a movie without predicting and looking for plot holes. Pluss it was mindblowing emotional and beautiful.
Those who didn't enjoy this... I feel sorry for you.

What don't you understand. When you watch a movie you want to be captivated. You want to feel like part of the movie. You don't want to be sitting there thinking the whole time "Oh I'm clearly just watching a movie"
Anyone know where to watch it online in decent quality? I found it on putlocker.is and it's decent quality, but nothing great...Any links or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, trying to put it on the TV tonight...
And before you try and bust balls about pirating, I saw it in theaters 3 times and plan on getting it on blu ray. I just wanted to watch it again in the meantime. Thanks!

I know I sound nuts and I'm sorry, but did this movie get completely underrated, overlooked, and misunderstood?
I am a huge movie buff that is super picky when it comes to TV shows, films, ski edits, and everything else. However, Interstellar is an emotional roller coaster of a movie that makes you think, feel, and experience everything that it portrays. I feel as if nowadays everyone is consumed with the next shitty ass movie that is riddled with CGI and doesn't have an ounce of cinematographic, intellectual, or intensity.
Just think about how heavy this movie is. The plot. The acting. The music. The relationships between characters. The reality of the setting. How much it makes you ponder ourselves as beings within an entire universe of unknowns.
I guess it just makes me depressed how people don't appreciate good film making these days. And just let me make this clear: I am NOT a "Nolan fan boy"...I just believe that legitimate directors and good films are hard to come by these days. Interstellar was fucking brilliant.

I don't think it was underrated at all. I think it sits exactly where it should. Most people liked it, some didn't, and critics have it sitting at a solid B. This isn't some Oscar bait movie. I personally loved it and saw it twice in IMAX, but the criticisms of the movie are valid, and the praise for the movie is also valid.

uhhhh what. it got tons of 5 star reviews, was nominated for hundreds of awards, it won an oscar, and was probably one of the most hyped and talked about movies of last year. i have no idea how you could say it was underrated and slept on at all.
