Interstellar’s Editing Is Out of This World 

that movie no matter how many times i watch it, it doesn't get boring at all

The scene where he's crying at himself not to leave his daughter ...Having lost my father at a young age, that scene crushes my heart everytime

The soundtrack is literally the peak of film music.

This video makes you understand how vital it is that the editor a) understands storytelling b) understands the story the director and writer want to tell

If you want to know how impactful Interstellar was, I still remember the night we watched it at the movies and I was sleepless for hours just staring at the ceiling 😐

The fact that we are still discussing this movie so many years after it's release is amazing. Truly a masterpiece

Since the movie “Interstellar” released, only 45 minutes and 34 seconds have passed on Miller’s planet

Interstellar is a masterpiece of our time. Chris Nolan + Hanz Zimmer music = Epicness

“What I did understand was the emotion.” This is the basis of most Chris Nolan movies. This is why Nolan movies are so popular, because they’re cerebral, well plotted stories laid on a carefully, precisely constructed framework based on emotions of characters, leading them to be tense, exciting, unpredictable and yet somehow understandable to the audience in an emotional way. And in addition Nolan movies possess brilliant direction, cinematography, editing, special effects, and of course, music. Nolan has built a solid, highly capable creative team which dovetails with his style perfectly.

"Interstellar's Editing Is Out of This World" *Your puns are interstellar*

This movie is a goldmine of small details, One of my favorite is when Dr. Mann tries to hijack Endurance and causes an explosion in Endurance, You can hear the part of the explosion for a very brief moment since the Endurance was pressurized at that time but then it depressurized instantly and we cannot hear any more of the explosion. This scene felt odd at the start, Because movies usually exaggerate explosions. But later thinking about it, All of it made a lot more sense because sound doesn't travel in vacuum of space, So they literally made us experience that scene as if we were physically there!

17:05 "At this point about 60% of the audience..." is FULLY CRYING THEIR EYES OUT

i wish i could watch this film for the first time again

No movie have ever made me feel this certain feeling.

I get chills every time I hear him say ‘we brought ourselves’

The internet has unleashed the potential of a lot of talented people like this man. Otherwise, he would've probably been stuck at some corporate office doing what they tell him to do and bury his analogy and editing skills. Amazing video, man. Just amazing.

I'm gonna say it people who like Interstellar are my family. I don't care where you are from , what you are , you are FAMILY

If this movie is released again in theatres... It would still be Superhit.

The entirety of human race was not ready for this movie ..

Legends have it, editors have to take an IQ test for editing Nolan's movies.

after years people are still talking about this movie. just comes to show that this film is a modern masterpiece.

2001 A Space Odyssey is looked at more as a piece of art. Interstellar is going to be remembered as an experience. Literally every aspect of this movie, whether its the acting, direction, cinematography, the editing, the sound design, THE MUSIC, set design, and writing(debatable)...is firing on all cylinders. It represents the peak of filmmaking. It also has 2 scenes that I think will go down in history as some of the greatest scenes put on film; watching his children’s messages scene and the docking sequence. I remember seeing this movie in IMAX on the first day of release, planned it perfectly to make sure i got there early to get center seats and not too close to the screen. Right after Cooper pleads to Dr. Mann not to dock and then Mann blew himself up, Cooper accelerates towards the Endurance and Dr. Brandt then asks Cooper what he's doing, and he just says..."docking" (Cue Hanz Zimmer's score). I lost my shit in the theater, I got goosebumps and literally leaned forward and audibly said pretty loudly "what...the...fuck!?!". As the scene went on I remember thinking, Nolan... you crazy bastard , you just cranked the intensity up to a 10. Then the music tipped it over to an 11. That moment, that sequence with that music and the sound just blasting. Sensory Overload...I will never forget the experience. Seriously, if you sat down and really thought about "what" this movie is about, like really thought about all its themes, all its layers of depth and what its trying to say, your gonna come to only one conclusion. Its about Everything.

This movie is in my heart and I feel sad when people says they didn't like Interstellar.

My favourite thing about interstellar is I must have seen nearly a hundred good videos on RU-vid breaking down different aspects of the film. Nolan puts so much work into details, it's an absolute treat to know others appreciate it too

I've heard too many people say they didn't appreciate this movie, and I really think it's because Nolan was beyond his time with this one. It really is his most profound work so far, as a statement on love, science, family, the Earth... the list goes on. It's going to take years, maybe decades for people as a whole to catch up to the genius here. It's always been my favorite of Nolan's and in my top 10 ever. I mean, when a movie makes an actual scientific breakthrough in astrophysics with it's vfx you know it's beyond it's time. (the wormhole render)

Wow, impressive breakdown!!

When I tell people that this is my favorite movie of all time and they reply with ''eh, it wasn't that good'' I honestly start feeling sorry for them. Not because I don't respect their preferences, but how can a human being not love this movie. This movie makes you think, wonder, cry, it gives you answers, and most importantly it separates itself from the classic and tbh boring plots of movies that are being released today. It's a classic and in my opinion, the best movie humanity has ever produced.

What an amazing breakdown of my favourite film, this film means so much to me and to see you break it down was great!

In the theater, when Coop falls into the tesseract, we collectively made involuntary loud sounds out of our faces and i swear i could **hear** minds getting blown, including my own.

“Isn’t it amazing how Matthew McConaughey just mumbles his lines” The key to Interstellar right there.

“Don’t you just love how Matthew Mcconaughey mumbles his lines” 🤣

This is one of my favorite films. As someone who knows absolutely nothing about film editing or really, the film-making process, I absolutely loved this. Thank you

6 year i've been waiting for this analysis. Thanks

On my first viewing of Interstellar I thought it an interesting intellectual exercise. But on many, many subsequent viewing, I realize the movie for what is is, an imperfect masterpiece. Nolan dares to ‘swing for the fences,’ and although he doesn’t succeed 100%, he dares to go where other filmmakers are afraid to tread. Interstellar is a beautiful love letter. And love is always messy.

don't let me leave murph :( actually shed a tear in this movie at the part where he saw his kids older than he was ;___;

Editor: You can not edit like this, it’s impossible Nolan: no, it’s necessary

As an (film)editor myself, I’ve noticed that there are very few films where I don’t watch it like an editor...this was one of them. It’s just perfection

This Breakdown was not possible it was necessary

Interstellar is by FAR my favourite movie of all time, and the soundtrack is amazing That organ hits hard with emotion

I simply cry each time i see the scenes to understand Nolan's thinking, the thought behind the movie, each scene, heroes sacrifice, return to his daughter...true art always touches the heart coz its made of pure vibrations..

Amazing film, cinematic masterpiece. Loved this breakdown it actually helped me understand the film more than when I first saw it.

So, He's in 3d space, in the representation of a 4d object created by beings who can perceive the 5th dimension. in the 4th dimension you can see your beginning and your end, but in the 5th dimension you can see all your beginnings & all your endings. These beings, they, are the future humans in that time line who allow Matthew to open the path to that time line so that they can create this tesseract & save humanity.. I think I lost myself trying to explain this.. Some help & critiques would be appreciated.

my favourite movie ever , studying physics rn and this movie is what inspired me to do it. The tesseracts music "quantifiable connection" hits so hard

I dont understand how this didnt win Best Picture.

Interstellar is one of them movies that makes everyone feel like they're an astrophysicist

2:21 "It's like the film holds the answer to how we exist and what will happen to us when we don't anymore." There's something so raw about that line. Gets me every time I watch this.

I remember when I saw Interstellar in a packed IMAX theater. When the movie ended and the credits started rolling, not a single person moved said a word for... 60 seconds? Three minutes? An eternity? [What is time, anyway?] EVERYONE was left wide-eyed and speechless. Hardly anyone spoke as we pulled our minds back into our bodies and walked out of the theater. I've never experienced that before or since.

Literally yesterday I was watching the scene STAY purely for the piece of music but I loved when he is driving away, we hear the countdown and move straight to him in the rocket. We’re still left with the emotion of him leaving his kids just as he would be in those final moments left on earth before lift off. Brilliant analysis!🔥

We need more Christopher Nolan MOVIES in our life.

As a parent the "Stay" scene... it breaks me everytime...

Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is what takes this movie to a whole other level. I get goosebumps everytime I listen to it. This is Nolan's masterpiece.

You said, "This scene...took me to a place very few films ever do anymore." I felt this way about so much of this film. I've seen this film at least a dozen times since its release. Thank you for this video. It allowed me to watch this powerful sequence and to see it from a different perspective. I appreciate you and I'm a new fan of yours.

People will analize this masterpiece for years. One of the most unique experiences I ever experienced in cinema.

It's not just a movie, it showed how it all might come to an end and still we would be able to flourish...and it might just be true..SOMEDAY!

Every bookshelf is trying to talk to you, just you won't listen.

i love how you have the past on the bottom layer, present on the main timeline, and the future on the top. Great vid.

I saw this movie in theaters as kid the same week our school did a trip to the JPL center in Pasadena California , when I was in middle school. I realized then that I wanted to become a high altitude pilot. I joined the airforce rotc program durring college, but unfortunately I was hit by a car that drove through a red light when I was on a morning run, and that marked the end of my dream. Years later I went back to school and slowly finis hed my degree in electrical engineering recently. I now work as a defense contractor where I help design avionics systems for fighter jets. This movie made me realize what I loved as a kid until today as an adult and that was space and flight. So I hold Interstellar true to my heart.

This movie is just a true Masterpiece

This film gave me that rare feeling of wanting to cry do to the raw emotion evoked and the feeling of laughing at just how I'm feeling.

Some scenes made me cry. Having a daughter of my own, this films went all in on the emotions a father would feel. Thank you for going over this film.

10:20 that scene still makes me tear up a little and I've rewatched it 3 times, this movie man... Such a masterpiece.

Im having Dark Night of the Soul for not watching this masterpiece in cinema.

One major thing to keep in mind is that inside the Tesseract, Cooper wasn't time traveling. All instances in time from Murph's bedroom has been showcased in front of him. So, any kind of entropy he makes is applied to all the time periods. That's why the watch's second hand movement was visible to present day Murph even though Cooper passed the quantum data through the watch which was from the past. Same goes for the books & space toys on the bookshelf.

Editor: How much edits? *Director: yes*

12:35 audience learning while protagonist learning is the structure of entire films, like Men In Black and The Matrix. Exposition is not always bad. Good point-out.

The tesseract scene was the scene that made me fall in love with Interstellar. It makes so emotionally and it’s full meaning and transcendence. My favorite movie after so many years.

imagine shooting an emotional quiet scene while the RATATATATATATA of the imax camera is constantly in your ears.

Nolan is an astro-physicist who became a movie director by accident

It’s been almost 6 years since this film was released and I never stopped thinking about it. I remember it every year. This movie changed my life.

What struck me was how "Interstellar" is really a ghost movie, on many levels. Ghosts of time we lost with our loved ones. Ghosts of our past selves, and those of our family. And of course the actual manifestation of an invisible conscious agent interacting with the real world, which happens to be the same person as who is being interacted with. These are also elements of "A Ghost Story" another great movie from the last few years, about an actual ghost, interacting with himself. Edit: And Casey Affleck is in both movies, I just realised.

The whole movie is out of this world . The concept . Acting . Cinematography. Vfx All are top notch

They had some of the smartest people on the planet working on structuring the science for the movie.

When a movie is so perfect, that even after 6 years, RU-vid talks about it.

60% of audience: *absolute aw* 40% of audience: spinning retro thrusters go brrrrrr

Seeing this at the movies with my dad is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life

I mean yeah, the editing is literally out of this world.

The movie, the soundtrack and just everything is pure perfection. Thank you to all who helped make this masterpiece. 👌

"Don't let me leave, Murph!"

Seeing someone analyse one of my favourite movies is next level entertainment. Great video!

I will never forget seeing this is IMAX with my father who passed away a year later. We walked out and looked at eachother and said “welp, wasnt expecting that but good lord THATS how a cinema experience is supposed to be!!!”

This video must’ve been hard to make, your work is appreciated!

The proof that Rotten Tomatoes is a scam is that this movie got only a 73%...

Amazing analysis, it nearly brought me to tears all over again. The power this movie holds is something truly wonderful and awe inspiring.

The tesseract-thing in this movie is eerily similar to what sometimes happen with mirrors and weak electric circuits near it - You get the instant feel of a higher presence. I got exactly this confirmed in a message given to me over 5-6 month where numbers & character in my dreams where very intense. I wrote all those down, ran it through random conversion tools (hex etc.) and what shocked me was that it obviously came from a friend who committed suicide a year prior. The outcome was his name mirrored. Then I understood that there is a connection to other dimensions and I still get messages though its slowing down. I was hit by a stroke a year ago (blood clot in my brain) and I realized there's nothing to be afraid of, because when I went into the MR scanner he, and another deceased friend was there with 2 unknown huge entities. I came out, survived and was told that I was speaking french to the doctors immediately after. I don't speak french and have no clue where that came from. I've been fascinated by this movie since it touches some of these elements .. wonder if the director have experienced something similar to mine.

3:46 It's exactly how a dad reeeeally concentrating talks. I honestly think it's why Cooper is one of my favourite characters. His dialogue and his few scenes with Murph just feel so natural

Incredible analysis of these scenes. This is my favorite movie for many reasons, and I love watching/reading content that helps me have a deeper appreciation for the art and science behind it. Thank you!

Just a quick more info about relativity complimenting your excelent explanation at 9:20. I'm referring to the 3 ages of Murphy as: kid Murphy, adult Murphy and older Murphy. Murphy wasn't in her adult age when Cooper was inside the Tesseract. Relative to Tesseract Cooper, Murphy was the older one. Kid Murphy became Adult Murphy right after Cooper came back from the water planet mission, the one with big waves, because that planet was closer to the black hole and made Cooper move much more quicker throught time relative to kid Murphy on Earth. Murphy was in her adult age only until he came back closer to the black hole before jumpingg into it, and, as he "fell" more and more through the black hole, adulp Murphy started to age faster and faster as Cooper travelled faster and faster to the center of the black hole. She aged enough to become old Murphy, and only stopped aging right after Cooper crossed the boundary between the mass of black hole and the tridimensional space of the tesseract. That's why she is old Murphy aboard the Cooper station when they reunite, old Murphy is the present Murphy relative to Cooper. Pretty cool, right? They nailed relativity.

I am proud to say that Interstellar is my favourite movie of all time. And whenever I say it, it puts a smile on my face. ❤❤

Even now just watching these edited scenes evokes so much emotion in me, that at the time of watching this film I was going through the most painful time in my life for my own daughter and never knew if id see her again when she was just 4 - the power of love on this level holds no equal and this film is exceptional in portraying that.

A true masterpiece of cinema. I could talk about this film for many years to come. I've lost count how many times I've watched it and it blows me away every time.

I swear the tesseract scene always makes me tear up

Anyone else notice when the corn fields were set on fire, it spelled the same binary message S-T-A-Y as in the dust earlier on

Great video. You spoke of the three timelines: young Murph, older Murph, and Cooper's. I always took it as older Murph and Cooper were at about the same timeline while he was in the Tesseract. Once you started cutting, I began to think about it. Though Nolan portrays them at the same point, it may have taken place much later. My argument for this is based off of the assumption that Cooper and Brand stay on the same timeline. We see her at the end of the movie on the other planet, and Murph tells Cooper to go find her. We also know that being near the blackhole changes time. It could be that time raced forward another 50 or so years while they detached. That would make Murph close to the end of her life, like how we see her at the end of the movie. This makes more sense to me, since the jump in time would take place before the blackhole, and not after the closing of the Tesseract. Then Cooper and Brand would still be in the same timeline, but Murph would be much older. This adds a whole other depth to the movie for me. Murph would have already long passed the 'older Murph timeline' when Cooper got to the Tesseract. But since Cooper went back to when she was a child, and relayed the information, she was able to receive it in the 'older Murph timeline'.

Just seeing and hearing the thesseract scene even with breaks and talk over is giving me so hard emotions. Story, music, word building, performance, editing, CGI,... all put so much effort into it, it hits like a brick. The story itself isnt even long or twisty at second watch, but there are so much close ups and small talk to establish emotion, so much ambience or ambienceless space it eats into the viewers emotions. Even after third or fourth watch.

I’ll never forget leaning over in my seat in the theater and saying to my friend “we’re watching something special” and I standby that to this day…

I can't get over how this movie is from 2014. Astro physics already interested me as a child and for some reason I always thought this movie was old like Star Treck. But yesterday I actually watched it and I'm so sad that I didn't watch it sooner. It is one of my favorite movies ever after just one watch, ugh it's great.

This soundtrack is next level.

So the "What's done is done" concept in TENET was presented early in Interstellar!

The tesseract scene is brilliance. The perfect melding of intellect and emotion. A transcendental moment

The emotional build up leading to him seeing his daughter again on the space station would perhaps be the most intense I have ever felt, very clever manipulation.
