I'm right there with you. I haven't talked about it much but during the hey day of Covid my daughter got married. Just 3 people could attend. I never got to give her away or get my dance. Tore me apart.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Luckily marriages isn't a big deal. It's purely tradition based on political gain. And you seem to love her and that matters. Sucks that people get distracted by shallow things, otherwise stuff like that wouldn't hurt you for no real reason. Can't imagine investing emotion in such a superficial thing. But you do you. Just saying I love my family and stuff like that has no effect on us :) But I get it, if it matters to her it matters to you. Totally understand.
@@Gnossiene369 I bet your really fun at parties. Geez! Cold and detached much? What you call superficial/shallow most everyone else calls caring/love. It’s part of being a human being and not a robot. Missing out on walking his daughter down the aisle is a very real thing to most people. It’s understandable how he’d feel some way about losing that opportunity. His daughter is lucky to have such a loving father. What’s not understandable is not understanding it. Clearly your life experience lacked a lot for you not to be able to relate to very real feelings. Bless the family/friends in your life who have to feel the coldness from you. That is if you have any
This is also my favorite movie of all time! Great reaction! This movie changed my life. Never thought about 5th,6th, 7th dimensions and above before this movie
I took my daughter out of school to watch this in IMAX the first day it came out. We cried and for the first time, she held my hand after years. She knows us fathers would do anything for her/them.
First-time watcher, and I was so surprised by you not recognizing some of the more prominent “Hollywood” stars, but then you introduced yourself, and I was delighted. What a wonderful concept: a lifetime bookworm “discovering” film with us. Your children were so right in suggesting this. I found your commentary both intelligent and empathic. I had a great time! Subscribed!
I have to say, you’re the first reactor to this movie I’ve seen that actually understood that there was no way Coop could have stopped himself from leaving. Because if he did, he wouldn’t have made it to the tesseract in the first place. He would have created a kind of grandfather paradox for himself. Once Coop realizes he was brought there for a purpose, not just to be tortured by watching himself leave his kids, is when he shifts gears and starts relaying information both to himself (coordinates for NASA) and the quantum data that Murph needed to complete Professor Brands work. This movie is simply brilliant.
I always imagined Cooper finally making it back to Brandt on that planet and after some time hearing the voice of his father giving sage advice "start doing your part young man to repopulate the Earth" while shedding an ever so loving tear at that distant memory.😢
This might be in my top 5. Between the concepts, the music, acting and storyline this film is phenomenal in my humble opinion. Christopher Nolan is amazing and between this movie and True Detective, Matthew M has really impressed me with his acting. Thanks for doing this. It’s such a good story.
0:44 Argh, you shouldn't've done that! Matt Damon always surprises people when he eventually pops up. Even upon release, his involvement with the film was kept secret.
FYI, it's James. But thanks for the comment. I have a lot of book knowledge built in. You'd be amazed what some people don't know sometimes. I learned a lot of this stuff when I was in middle school.
Fun trivia: The clips of older people talking about the dust and dirt are clips of interviews from a Ken Burns documentary on the Dust Bowl, real survivors talking about what it was like farming back in the 30s
Top ten movie of all time. I was SO pleasently suprised. I just watched it for Matthew McConaughey's accent and found a FANTASTIC movie. Also, the scene where he watches the 23 years of messages is one of the saddest moments in movie history. They kicked me in the gut when they almost just glossed over his baby grandson being buried where they buried grandpa. It took me a minute to realize it. Then I had to pause the movie and fight a losing battle not to ugly cry. Then had to again do the exact same when Murph said "but...Todays my birthday" I caught that one immediatly and maybe cried even uglier.
So excited to watch this reaction! This movie blew me away the first time I watched it, and honestly every other time since then. Thanks for reacting to it!
A classic space movie is "Apollo 13," which is based on the real event. And you'll recognize a lot of the actors in it: Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan), and Ed Harris (all the way back from The Abyss). If you ever pair movies up again, maybe there could be a space theme! :)
That was a really satisfying watch. You reacted almost exactly like I did my first time watching, from the shock at the wave, to the crying at the messages, to the thrill over the docking scene. Great reaction!
32:25 Cooper was thrown from the wormhole still orbiting Saturn. And BTW, the 5D time-matrix structure he was trapped in was inside the black hole, not out in space. As weird as it seems, it may have been the singularity itself and the eventual exit out of Gargantua and back thru the wormhole to Saturn. 32:32 It's his actual house. Murphy solved the real "problem of gravity" in physics, (in the movie when she yelled "Eureka"), which enabled us to harness and control gravity. Antigravity dude! With that, they could easily and safely lift his house and move it into Murphy Station, and use that same power to lift that entire station itself, even whole cities, into space and likely use gravity to propel it to Saturn as well. I knew you'd like this movie, James. Note that one of the producers is Prof Kip Thorne of Caltech whose specialty are black holes, and was friends with Drs Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. For another awesome scifi like this also with Matt McConaughey, and Jodie Foster do "Contact" (1997) a story written by Sagan. Certain you'll like that one too. 🖖👽
@@AwesomeUSMovies It's a pleasure James. One more plug for "Contact", (so you won't have to research it and risk reading any spoilers), is that it was directed by Robert Zemeckis of Forrest Gump and Back To The Future directing fame, so it's a well made good flick. Enjoyed your Interstellar video too. See you on the next vid, whichever one it is! ✌😁
This definitely holds as my favorite movie. It’s kinda hard to wrap your head around the first time but once you watch it again it’s all clears up. I still can’t watch it today without crying because the story and emotions that in invokes are so rich. Not to mention the musical score by Hans Zimmer that just goes perfect and enhances every scene. Thank you for reacting to this movie, been waiting for it so hopefully it didn’t disappoint!
I love how you said ' no Oxygen rich obviously ', and the next moment Brand took her helmet off That was literally my reaction when I watched this for the first time great reaction, loved to see this deserving film getting praises
Saturn's rings are made of mostly ice crystals, with some rocky material. The particles range from very tiny (micrometers) to meter-sized chunks. The actual planet is huge, but its relative density is low. Build a bathtub large enough, and the planet would float in it!
The feeling this movie gives me is something I haven’t quite experience in cinema since then. Seeing it in IMAX was unforgettable. I periodically scour RU-vid for reaction videos to this.
I love the concept of this movie. How it is really about a father and his daughter. But one thing that I always thought of is that he had to go, even though he is basically telling himself to stay. Because if he did not go, Murphy would have not been so driven to find her dad, ultimately saving humanity. I also think she lived so long just out of love and knowing in her heart she would see her dad again. (I just never had kids, wanted too but life has not worked out that way. But I always wanted a daughter.)
As a young adult, this movie is one of my most favourite movies I've ever seen. The acting in it is absolutely stellar (no pun intended) and the story always makes me cry at the end. I'm so glad I got to watch your reaction to this. So thank you :)
This is one of the best movies ever made! The scientists who consulted on it actually got papers published from the data for all the physics and may have won a couple prizes or awards for it if memory serves correct. Also, you should check out the behind the scenes of making the music for the movie! If you ever get a chance to see it in a movie theater then go! In theater it's not just a movie, it's an experience!
I know it's all subjective, but I don't understand why some people have this movie at the bottom of their Christopher Nolan films. I LOVE this movie, because of the concepts they introduced.
the watch wasnt running on the battery it was moving because cooper was able to use gravity to communicate the data for gravity in morse. so yea The battery was dead but Cooper was using gravityTo make it move
Just FYI, NASA's Saturn satellite Cassini-Huygens actually flew through the rings in the sense that it flew through the gap between two of the rings that make up Saturn's rings in the late 90's.
When you mentioned their skin tone color difference, that will happen if he is always outside farming. I love your commentary on the science stuff. Him being the pilot makes sense if you heard that he previously flew for Nasa and that was the flashback at the very beginning. It looks like he was trying to perform a move similar to the water planet, but the first AI didn't trust Cooper's intuition and dropped power to the engines. Not many reactors catch that Tom's first child died and was buried out back with Grandpa, kudos. The doctor that found him said that a Ranger ship found him right before he ran out of oxygen. Since that was out by Saturn perhaps he came out of the wormhole when the ranger found him. Just a guess though.
Prisoners, Big Fish, The Iron Giant, Ex Machina, Little Miss Sunshine, Signs, The Wrestler, Walk Hard, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Take Shelter, Mud, Moon, Spotlight Just some of my favorite films, interstellar would be on there, but we just watched it here!
He got back to Saturn because he exited the wormhole for which the black-hole is a counterpart to. It showed him in the wormhole just prior to that going the opposite way. When he did the handshake. It works like a Klein Bottle. They hired scientists for this movie to make it as accurate as possible.
i really enjoyed your reaction not a lot of people are able to keep up with this movie because of all the space mechanics and terminology. i highly suggest you watch good will hunting next if you havent watched it yet
We can definitely achieve 1 G in artificial gravity. It all depends on how quickly you spin the space craft. Hell, you can theoretically supercharge the sob and get Jupiter's gravity if you wanted to. The problem is expenses. No one has done it yet in space because the launch for a system that heavy and complex would be huge. Also, it's kinda dumb because you wouldn't have equal gravity throughout the entire vessel. The closer you get to the point of rotation, the less gravity you'll experience. Theoretically, you could jump hard enough to "Fall" through to the other side if the ring has an open central point, that could be bad for you and the spacecraft.
If you're looking for some Matthew McConaughey movies, here are a few: 1. EDtv (another pairing with Woody Harrelson) 2. The Wolf of Wall Street (more of a brief cameo, but he makes the most of it) 3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days 4. Dallas Buyers Club (Oscar win for Best Actor) 5. A Time to Kill
I've read it so I know all the major plot points, I know he's in no danger, how he contacts earth, how he stays alive, how they save him. Not sure that would be much of a reaction.
I have seen so many reactions and even including mine we all question the design of the big bulky robots until case just shuts us the fuck up lmfao You have had the single best reaction to the second docking scene. Everyone else seems to either skip over it, call it unrealistic (which yeah it’s a movie) or treat it as another scene you’re the only one to have the same reaction as me whenever cooper said her was docking “WHAT??” lmfao. Love that scene
You should start looking at the director when you do the cast as most directors will have a similar style across all their movies This was directed by Christopher Nolan who also did Inception & The Prestige
I've already reacted to both of those actually. Go check them out: Inception: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M6Dfqnk-VKE.html Prestige: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y6x-2Ip22kk.html
@@AwesomeUSMovies I know, I mentioned the other movies you’ve done in case you didn’t know they were by Nolan. You should definitely check out his Batman trilogy, starting with Batman Begins. The Dark Knight is widely considered THE BEST superhero movie. Memento, Dunkirk, Tenet, Insomnia are all great too and he’s got a new movie ‘Oppenheimer’ coming out in July.
I'm so impressed and surprised that you know a lot about the science behind what's happening the entire movie just by reading a lot of sci-fi books. Growing up, I never really liked reading. I have brothers and close friends who really love to read. And now, I really feel like I missed out on the adventures of reading and am pretty envious. And I can see now that reading can really make an individual be more creative, fun and smart at the same time. Some of the science behind this movie was new for me when this came out (and it shouldn't be especially the time dilation). I'm so glad I saw a video on youtube about "watch this before watching Interstellar" (it's about some of the important science behind the movie). And let me tell you, if I haven't seen that video, I would have been lost watching this in the theaters. To think that I consider myself a scientific guy. This movies have just proven to me that there are still more things I have/need to learn and I don't know much. Anyway, hope you get to see more Nolan movies. You've seen others already too. You're gonna enjoy most, if not all of them. Can't wait for you to see the Dark Knight (batman) trilogy by Nolan. As always, you're truly awesome, James! :D
Thank you for the great comment Dada. For an actual book I suggest "The Fold" by Peter Clines, for an audiobook I'd suggest "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir
I remember watching this with my husband for the first time and we just sat for a few min staring at each other as the credits rolled. It was just like what...in the.....heck? Every time I see it again, it gets better and better.
@@AwesomeUSMovies We were struck by the multidimensional aspect, the music how it struck certain cords and the time differential. It was an absolutely stunning film and we are so glad that you reacted to it.
I always feel a bit of nervous anxiety watching science fiction movies, especially when they border/include non-fiction but, somehow, watching this with you, James, helped. Having you talk through some of the stuff which I found difficult to wrap my head around made things easier and helped me to appreciate the movie. Thanks much. Nowwwww, I'm going to go watch something light-hearted. ;-)
You initially mentioned you didn't think you'd seen Matt Damon in anyting, til u remembered Saving Private Ryan. I'd like to suggest the Bourne series, the Martian, Good Will Hunting. He's great in everything he's done.
Please do ANY Robin Williams. Dead Poets Society, What Dreams May Come and The Fisher King. These are ALL incredible, but The Fisher King is the least known. It was Oscar award nominated and one female in it won. It’s truly incredible. So is What Dreams May Come that has the BEST visuals and will blow your mind I think. Truly gorgeous. Thanks for Seattle, WA!
Thomothy Shalamay. I thought he was French with that name. Lol he's in the newest Dune film, it's great you should put it on the list. I assume you read it.
This is my absolute favorite film of all time. It's really my favorite anything of all time. And I think it's one of the most important films. It is full of the two things most absent in the world today; wonder and awe. I first saw this film in theaters and it fundamentally changed the course of my life, influenced the individual I am today, and inspired me to help create a message to change the world. As I said this is one of the most important films ever made, in terms of it's message, and the pure beauty of it's artistry. The other most important film, and there are only these two as far as I'm concerned - is Cloud Atlas which I think you should watch next, if not very soon. It's based on a book, and having been a reader of books for 40 years as you say - I'm curuous if you've read it or not! More people need to be exposed to these films, and to all meaningful film in general and I'm glad that reaction channels became as popular as they are. Art should be propagated and circulated and passed around, and even though these are edited versions, channels just like yours help to do that! 😊
The ending of Interstellar was magnificent, although Nolan could have added a bit more content to make it easier to follow. -- After entering the black hole, Cooper's Ranger began to break up, so he ejected and was sucked into the singularity, where an immense tesseract had been placed by future humans (who had adapted to live in the 5th dimension) . -- After Cooper communicated with Murphy via gravity waves on her watch, the tesseract closed, and Cooper was jettisoned back through the wormhole. -- Travelling through the warped space-time of the wormhole, he encountered Endurance as it was arriving many years in the past. At that moment, he was a 5-dimensional being trying to "handshake" with Amelia. -- Cooper and TARS exited the wormhole by Saturn, and Rangers from Cooper Station located and rescued them. -- About 90 years had passed since Cooper left Earth. Thanks to Murphy's solution of gravity, humans were able to construct huge space stations and get off the Earth.
I've read it so I don't think it would make for a very good reaction. I think my Patreons talked about a book vs movie segment we may do later this year. I'll keep that one in-mind.
@@AwesomeUSMovies It was a video from November time last year one of his still game reactions he mentioned that competition of yours. I found the vid while on a still game reaction binge
They can get 1g if the radius is wide enough. Also, the movie is not showing the time span between finding NASA, and the launch, then the trip to the wormhole itself was 2 years they didn't go into.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah. But they based it on real science with Kip Thorne for most of it. One of the most accurate movies made yet because of it. Even the artistic license of the black hole has some hard facts around it like the time dilation. One thing they didn't go into was how much time passed when he dropped off the ship and entered the black hole. But I guess by then it didn't matter since they can spit him out the wormhole at any point in time. Which brings up the question, why would he be sent back to his daughters deathbed.
I’m a single dad of 3 amazing daughters and man I’m sorry but I could NEVER leave my daughters, in the end he misses their entire lives , his kids go through life thinking he chose space exploration over them. NO WAY! this gets SO emotional for me especially of him saying goodbye to her and her runni outside after him as he drives away . Oh man 😢😢😢
Matt Damon was also Will Hunting. My favorite Matthew McConaughey movies are A Time To Kill and How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Mackenzie Foy was the little girl in The Twilight Saga. You'll see Jessica Chastain more when you start reacting to Mad Men.
If you've not seen it yet, I suggest The Martian as another space movie to check out. At least in that film, Matt Damon gets off the planet just fine without needing to abandon anyone behind
So other than the old version of Murphy the people talking about the dust are actually clips from the Ken Burns documentary on the dust bowl so actually lived through it,
Awesome movie. Very reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey in a few scenes. Definitely recommend that one if you enjoy anything space/sci-fi related. If you haven't seen it already of course. The part where he's watching the tapes of his kids over the years is so wild to think about. Also the planet where every hour equals 7 years.
@@AwesomeUSMovies I've read it and watched it and think it would still be a very good reaction. It's quite a different thing to see the story come to life.
This is a pretty incredible movie and underrated in my opinion. You should watch Matthew M in The Dallas Buyers Club - you will be floored by his performance in that
