An eagle-eyed TikToker discovered a clue in sci-fi epic Interstellar that adjustments the which means of the whole film.
Directed by Oscar-winner Christopher Nolan, the film explores themes as various as quantum physics and black holes, to loss of life and time journey.
Starring Matthew McConaughey as Joseph Cooper, an astronaut separated from his daughter Murphy, the 2014 blockbuster was one of many yr’s highest grossing movies. It has amassed a cult following within the years since due to theories round its which means and its soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.
Within the movie, which was re-released earlier this month, Cooper travels via time and area to return again residence to “Murph”, performed by Jessica Chastain, however Nolan fan @Stark_Verse believes the Oppenheimer and Darkish Knight director has left a clue within the film that unravels its whole which means.
“I simply rewatched Interstellar and I observed what appeared like a mistake,” he wrote in a viral put up earlier this yr. “I simply can not unsee this.”
He shares clips from the film which can be seemingly reused. The primary is of an plane originally of the movie when Cooper has his crash dream sequence, the clip then seems to be repeated an hour into the movie, when his crew are getting into Miller’s planet’s environment.
“So the identical footage is getting used twice, in utterly totally different contexts,” he defined. “It’s the very same footage, and at first I believed this was a easy mistake however then I realised that is Christopher Nolan, Christopher Nolan wouldn’t use the identical footage with out a function proper? It didn’t make sense till I checked out it from one other perspective.”
He then goes on to interrupt down the opening scene exhibiting a crash the place he says “that individual inside that crash realistically ought to have died, so what if that’s what truly occurred?”
Shedding gentle on how this adjustments the whole which means of the movie, he mentioned, “What if Cooper truly died in that accident proper to start with of the film?

“And I often dismiss these ‘Cooper’s loss of life’ theories however I continued watching the film with this principle in my thoughts and, Oh boy, does it change every little thing.”
The TikToker steered that every little thing from this level onwards displays Cooper’s “journey into the afterlife”.
“He can’t keep on Earth, he has to go away, the Lazarus mission hints at Cooper’s loss of life and his journey into the unknown. On the Endurance [the name of the ship Cooper flies] the crew all the time refers to ‘The Huge Sleep’, which is a transparent metaphor of loss of life.
“Then the dialogue, the phrases his youngsters communicate, they sound a lot like personal ideas that an individual would have a couple of mother or father who suffered an premature, unintended loss of life.”
Delving deeper into how this principle holds collectively and is clear all through the movie proper till its conclusion, he continued: “When Cooper is in entrance of Gargantua, Tars tells him, ‘See you on the opposite facet Coop’.
“Physician Mann tells Cooper proper earlier than you die you see your kids and after Cooper crosses Gargantua’s occasion horizon symbolising the ultimate transition, he sees Murph within the Tesseract and when Murph is on her deathbed, he’s there to greet her on the opposite facet.
“I all the time thought it was so bizarre when he entered the room full of individuals, that nobody appears to note and even acknowledge Cooper, it’s virtually like he’s a ghost.”
@Stark_Verse praised his hero as he mentioned, “That’s the factor about these Nolan motion pictures. They make sense in so many alternative layers, you possibly can peel off the layer of science and it nonetheless is sensible in science and you may peel of the identical scene philosophically and it additionally is sensible and then you definately apply the identical factor spiritually and it additionally is sensible. I simply can’t unsee this.”
