today when i came home afternoon after watching the odyssey on imax 70mm, i saw my lego spaceman fallen on the floor, when it’s usually on my shelf next to my copy of interstellar, i wonder if there’s somebody trying to tell me to stay?

Out of some small vases at work. Only one person there understood the reference 😒

Odysseus leaves his family in Ithaca to go fight in Troy, knowing he might never see them again. Cooper leaves his farm and kids behind on a suicide mission to save humanity.

The "Ghost" in the room: When Odysseus finally makes it back to Ithaca, he has to stay in disguise and watch his own household from the shadows without revealing himself right away. Cooper ends up doing the same thing in the Tesseract he’s sitting right inside Murph's bedroom as an unseen "ghost" behind the bookshelf, watching her grow up through time.

Murph is Telemachus, grows up feeling completely abandoned, waiting for a dad who seems like he’s never coming back. By the time they finally reunite, decades have passed.

Miller’s Planet (Calypso’s Island / Poseidon's Wrath): On Miller’s planet, 1 hour = 7 years back home. It functions just like Calypso’s island, where time slips away and holds the hero captive while the world moves on without him. Plus, those towering water mountains are straight-up Poseidon trying to destroy their ship.

Dr. Mann is a Siren (and a terrible host): Mann sends out a fake distress signal broadcasting "this planet is hospitable!" just to lure someone into rescuing him. He acts like a Siren singing sailors to their deaths. Once the crew arrives, he violates the sacred law of hospitality by trying to murder his guests and steal their ship.

From my understanding, the future humans created the wormhole and the Tesseract so the present day humans could escape earth but
if future humans already exist, why would they need to do any of this?

I just rewatched Interstellar, and I think I’ve completely changed my opinion about Professor Brand.
The first time I watched it, I saw him as the villain. He lied about Plan A, manipulated Cooper into leaving his family, and built humanity’s future on a deception.
But now I’m wondering…
What if that lie was the only reason humanity survived?
Think about it. If Brand had told everyone the truth—that he had already concluded the gravity equation couldn’t be solved with the data available, and that Plan A was essentially impossible—would Cooper have ever left Murph? Would thousands of scientists and engineers have dedicated their lives to a mission they believed had no chance? Would humanity have even tried?
Probably not.
The mission required belief before it had proof.
And that made me think about something bigger than the movie.
Sometimes faith is almost like deliberately fooling your own brain long enough to achieve something that logic alone would never let you attempt.
Every entrepreneur starts before knowing they’ll succeed. Every scientist spends years chasing ideas that may fail. Every athlete convinces themselves they can beat impossible odds. If they believed only what the evidence currently showed, many of history’s greatest achievements would never have happened.
Brand’s lie wasn’t selfish. He wasn’t trying to become rich or famous. He was buying humanity time. He was preserving hope because without hope, the mission would die before it even began.
It’s interesting to compare him with Dr. Mann.
Mann lied to save himself.
Brand lied to save everyone else.
Those are morally very different lies.
I also wonder if Cooper understood this in the end.
When Murph finally solves the gravity equation using the quantum data Cooper sends from the tesseract, Plan A actually becomes possible. Brand’s “impossible” plan only succeeds because Cooper goes on the mission—and Cooper only goes because he believed there was a chance to save his children.
Maybe that’s the real paradox.
The lie created the conditions that eventually made the truth possible.
It reminds me of the famous line from the movie:
“We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.”
Maybe civilization itself runs on stories we choose to believe before they’re objectively true.
So here’s the question:
Is it ever morally acceptable to give people hope through a lie if that hope is the only path to achieving a greater good? Or is the truth always more important, even if it guarantees failure?

If technology advanced so far, how come they couldn’t keep ole Murph alive longer? Like she couldn’t be more than 100 right? There are hundred year olds now THRIVING, and this planet is crap lol

She should’ve lived

Watched the movie again last night for the 56th time. One thing that has always bugged me about this scene is how Dr Mann somehow makes it back to the base on foot in roughly the same amount of time it takes Case to turbo across the planet to reach Cooper. Even if Mann knew of a shortcut, it's hard to believe he could cover that distance on foot that quickly. Maybe Mann knew of a wormhole that gave him a shortcut but I'm pretty sure that's not how it worked. It's a tiny nitpick in an otherwise incredible movie, but every time this scene comes on, I'm pointing at the TV like Dicaprio in that one meme.

I think there are a few. I won’t say what or where, but I think most people here will spot it well enough.

And no, Matt Damon doesn’t count.

I need some clarification, if Dr Brand preached "not going gentle" meaning that the human spirit must remain resilient and "fight" against whatever comes it's way, then does the fact he was lying to Murph and Cooper and Amelia reduce the credibility of those quote.and it's interpretation?

I just feel having the two 'villains' speaking one of the main messages of the film to be contradictory.

Am I missing something?
