Interstellar explained in 15 simple steps
Well … in between wormholes, black holes and tesseracts, Interstellar confused some audience. So lets clear the air. Here we go.
1)Humanity is screwed. Dust hates us with a passion and is invading our homes. Crops have totally given up on us. Things are looking pretty bad.
2)Cooper is a pilot/farmer who is having a busy time catching drones and sweeping dust with his family.
3)His daughter believes in a ghost/sentient bookshelf and thinks it is trying to tell her something. Some bad parenting right there, Cooper.
4)Ghost gives them some co-ordinates, turns out it is NASA. NASA has a list of 3 planets(orbiting an Internet Explorer logo shaped black hole) for humans to move and they send Cooper to explore and certify which planet is actually promising on a space craft ‘Endurance’.
5)Miller’s planet is too near to the black hole and Tsunamis occur more frequently than television commercials. Basically not a fun place.
6)Mann’s planet is just frozen clouds, ice and stuff. Mann lied about everything and generally is an asshole. He kicks Cooper’s butt and tries to escape and dock into the main station and fails hilariously.
7)But …. he also blows up a block of Endurance but strangely the explosion throws Endurance into a spin conveniently ON A SINGLE AXIS. It doesn't bobble, wobble or just act like a station which got a part of it blown away in space.
8)And then in a feat which would put Chuck Norris and Rajnikanth to shame, Cooper docks into Endurance in a sequence which is visually so awesome, you forget how stupid it is.
9)Meanwhile on Earth because of time dilation, the daughter is now all grown up and trying to solve the gravity equation which would help mankind to survive but needs data from inside a black hole.
10)Back in space, because they are low on fuel, Cooper in an attempt at heroic sacrifice, sends Brand away to Edmund’s planet and takes a dive into the black hole along with TARS.
11)Once inside the black hole, he arrives at a tesseract … which is somehow his daughter’s bookshelf. He was the Ghost all along.
My sources tell me M.Night Shyamalan clearly saw that coming.
So basically future Humans get so advanced that they can manipulate space-time. Here’s what ‘they’ did.
12)They set up wormholes so that NASA would send Cooper to these 3 planets out of which 2 are shitty … so they would of course try the shitty planets first and lose fuel(Murphy’s law!! ‘Duh’) and then Cooper would of course sacrifice himself and jump into the black hole and then ‘they’ put a tesseract inside this black hole so that he could send the the black hole information via changes in gravity because his daughter is smart and would get this.
13)Makes perfect sense. Future human logic. Don’t ask me.
14)Apparently Cooper, his daughter and the bookshelf are the best candidates for this because …. LOVE and love transcends space-time-gravity-logic-everything.
Love transcends even magic. Rowling told this long back in Harry Potter. Don’t question it.
15)Cooper is teleported out of black hole once his duty is done, gets rescued, meets his dying old daughter who solved the equation and saved humanity a little bit. He then goes on to meet Brand who is setting up camp on Edmund’s planet to save humanity some more.
