Interstellar
The launch scene inInterstellarproves one of the most common criticisms of Christopher Nolan wrong.
Interstellarwas released in 2014.
It is Cooper’s relationship with his children, particularly Murphy, that make the launch scene inInterstellarso emotional.
He says goodbye to his son and father-in-law, Donald (John Lithgow), before driving off.
Inside the truck, Cooper lifts up a pile of blankets in the front seat.
Earlier in the film,Murphy was hiding under the blankets after Cooper told her to stay home.
However, this time, Murphy isn’t there.
However, Cooper is already gone.
Having this knowledge of the movie’s plot makes this scene even more tragic.
From Christopher Nolan, Interstellar imagines a future where the Earth is plagued by a life-threatening famine, and a small team of astronauts is sent out to find a new prospective home among the stars. Despite putting the mission first, Coop (Matthew McConaughey) races against time to return home to his family even as they work to save mankind back on Earth.
