Interstellar (2014) - Do Not Go Gently - Jason's Choice #19

After years of requests, demands, cajoling, and pleading from Jason's students, this week's film is Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014). While the duo disagree on whether or not the first hour could have been 15 minutes and whether or not the ending robs the film of its thematic power, both agree that this is a beautiful, powerful, deeply philosophical film. We discuss love, death, sacrifice, good, evil, free will, lying, time, gravity, othering and de-othering, Dylan Thomas, the nature of knowledge, auteur theory, and a bunch of other stuff in one of our longest episodes ever!Please let us know your thoughts on anything we discuss! We'd especially like your opinion on our Solaris v. The Cloverfield Paradox disagreement!Send us anything and everything at [email protected]
