Fans 'can't unsee' what they thought was simple mistake in Interstellar after film re-releases 10 years later

They can't unsee the details

Finding out new details about any film is hard enough in the social media age where every film has thousands of tweets about it within days of release.

What’s even harder than that is finding something completely new about a film that came out ten years ago and is one of the most discussed movies ever.

That is what one film fan did earlier this year ahead of the ten-year rerelease of Interstellar.

While nearly every Christopher Nolan film is worthy of being talked about over and over again, Interstellar is one that has stood the test of time to be talked about endlessly.

Whether it be fans figuring out the secret meaning to the ticking noise when they’re on the planet where time operates differently or various theories, it is a film full of discussion.

The film was re-released in select cinemas this year, and with it came a magnifying glass on the movie.

One fan on TikTok however, whose account is called ‘StarkVerse’, noticed two scenes that seemed quite similar.

He explained: “I just re-watched Interstellar, and I noticed what seemed like a mistake.

“I just cannot unsee this.”


The scenes in particular were a specific shot of Cooper’s aircraft right before he crashes in his dream, and then again when the team enters Miller’s planet’s atmosphere.

The man added: “At first I thought this was a mistake, but then I realised, this is Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan wouldn’t reuse the same footage without a purpose.”

This caused him to dig deeper into what it could mean.

He realised that he was looking at the scene from a different perspective than it should be regarded, and that the opening sequence where the initial shot is used depicts a crash that nobody ‘should realistically survive’.

This led him to believe that Cooper actually died at the beginning of the movie, which to him, explained a lot of different components in the film.

For example, he went on to note that they referenced Cooper’s death during the Lazarus mission, which hints that he is on a journey through the unknown- aka, the afterlife.

On another note, did you know that Lazarus means ‘God has helped’ in Hebrew? And that he was brought back to life by Jesus, according to the Bible.

Just a food for thought when you think about this theory where Cooper is stuck travelling through purgatory to the afterlife.

Anyway, the TikToker thought similarly, referencing the ‘big sleep’ analogy in the film, which the crew mentions several times throughout the film.

The big sleep = death.

He also talked about Cooper travelling to the afterlife after going through Gargantua’s black hole, and his daughter, Murph, suddenly shown on the tesseract.

The TikToker believes that the whole plot symbolises Cooper’s journey through to the afterlife, which is why at the end of the video, when he enters a room to find his daughter, now elderly and on her deathbed, he’s there to greet her - looking exactly as he did when he died all those years before.

Apparently, it's also why nobody in the room acknowledges him, except his dying daughter, who he’ll welcome to the afterlife.

It really does put a completely different spin on the story and throws out the time warp of Miller’s Planet.
