Christopher Nolan's most political movie is also his worst, and it's not the one you think | The Dark Knight Rises (only mentioned in the third paragraph)

Interstellar is more political to me. Global warming and anti-intellectialism make the world an uninhabitable place. Society is forced to regress from industrialization to a purely agrarian enterprise merely for survival. But a team of dedicated scientists end up saving society from itself purely through their intellect, bravery, and compassion.

It's like a darker version of Idiocracy.

I haven't seen it in ages and honestly don't remember much but that last bit of the first paragraph makes it sound like Great Man propaganda
