4 Hidden Details and Easter Eggs in Interstellar You Didn't Know You Missed
Some will even make you see the movie from a new angle.
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was released just over ten years ago, but it has already gone down in the history of science fiction cinema.
Nolan is known as an auteur who pays attention to the smallest details in his films. Some simply add atmosphere, others can affect the perception of the movie.
1. There Are Two Identical Shots in the Movie
One very small detail led to the creation of an entire fan theory that turns the perception of the movie on its head. One of the fans noticed that the same shots are repeated twice in the movie. Based on this, he assumed that Cooper died at the beginning of the story.
In a dream, the man remembers making an emergency landing. At that moment, a shot of the wing of an airplane is shown. An hour later, during a difficult landing on the planet Miller, the same image is shown.
2. The Soundtrack Hides the Passing of the Days
One of the most famous Easter eggs is related to the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
After passing through a wormhole, the crew of the ship finds itself on the planet Miller, where every hour is equal to seven years on Earth. When the characters go on a mission, the soundtrack is accompanied by a rhythmic ticking reminiscent of a clock.
The clicks occur at intervals of 1.25 seconds. If you apply this to the time that passes on Earth, it turns out that each click is a day. Knowing this, watching the scene in the water becomes even more unsettling: you can feel how quickly time is passing.
3. All Dishes Are Made From Corn
The beginning of the movie tells us that it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive on Earth. The concentration of nitrogen in the air increases, dust storms begin, and agricultural crops die out. At the beginning of the story, only corn grows on the planet.
Everything the Cooper family eats is made from corn: pancakes, stew, bread, syrup. This again confirms the thoughtfulness of each scene.
4. Cooper Correctly Tilts His Head in the Right Direction
Cooper was chosen to pilot mankind's most important mission for a reason. He is an experienced specialist who knows the intricacies of ship control. This is evident even in the most inconspicuous details.
After flying away from the planet where they met Dr. Mann, the characters try to dock the landing module to the ship and experience a severe overload.
Biologist Amelia tilts her head in the direction of the ship's rotation and loses consciousness. Cooper, on the other hand, keeps his head in the opposite direction of rotation, which keeps him from passing out.
