The race of Christopher Nolan It is full of titles that have conquered the public, but one that is especially loved is ‘Interstellar’. The acclaimed science fiction film is broadcast tonight on laSexta and for this reason we wanted to recover some statements from the filmmaker explaining the big surprise twist and also clarifying why he doesn’t want to share his vision of the ending.
Those who have seen ‘Interstellar’ surely remember the surprise it was to see Matt Damon in her. Nolan especially liked “the idea of people being surprised at who he is when we get there. And Mann is a weighty name, without a doubt. But once I christened it like that, I felt like I had to go for it. I also apologized to Michael Mann. I told him: he is not an affront“. Also, add the following about the character’s evil intentions:
It’s very simple: selfishness and cowardice. It’s very human, and I love what Matt has done with it; he has found reality. It’s the kind of sequence where you hate the guy because he’s doing something that you think you might end up doing in a similar situation. It’s very logical, but his rationalization is extraordinary: the way he was able to turn his own cowardice into something positive. Loneliness and despair make us do crazy things…
Yes indeed, Nolan is also very clear that Mann”he’s not exactly crazy. He is strangely logical, but terribly selfish. For him, the only result of the mission was a colony. I think, and it’s something we talk about a lot – and it’s something he says in the film – that he had no doubt that his was going to be the planet, his was going to be the mission. So whatever the risks, he was very confident. And when he is faced with the grim reality of dying there alone, everything begins to fall apart.“.
In addition, the also director of ‘Dunkirk’ confesses that for that part of ‘Interstellar’ he was mainly inspired by two films. On the one hand, ‘The treasure of the Sierra Madre’ in regards to what it is about “an adventure story in which you take a group of characters, pit them against the elements and see what they are made of and where they end up“and by ‘Greed’, since”I find it an extraordinary examination of basic human motives and what human beings become when stripped of everything.“.
“you will have to see it again“
Of course, everything that the head of ‘Oppenheimer’, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of 2023, is willing to pronounce on this fundamental part of ‘Interstellar’ changes in terms of providing answers about the end of the film. . The question is that does not want to invalidate the other interpretations what happens then:
You will have to see it again. She is there for you to do what you want. People always have radically different interpretations of the things I put there, but I know what I think and I don’t like that it has more validity than the experience you have seeing it.
I remind you that Nolan was not the first director planned for ‘Interstellar’, but the version that he would have directed Steven Spielberg it was very different. His arrival brought many changes, such as dispensing with the original ending of the film, but also turning it into a revolutionary work, both cinematographically and scientifically. However, that didn’t stop him from having to steal a scene from another sci-fi movie that didn’t do as well at the box office.
