A minute with Christopher Nolan on his 'Interstellar' challenge

A classic in the genre. I saw it yesterday, just waiting for another sci-fi movie with a tasteless spoonful of American family drama thrown in the middle of the action that would make me forget the real world for a couple of hours. Instead, to my surprise, it's a thought provoking movie. If you understand a little bit of quantum mechanics and Einstein's relativity, then you'll be amazed at how hard they tried, and succeed, to make surreal concepts like ¨the 5th dimension¨ visible, or how the twins who gets old at different speeds of time would work in a space travel. If you are not into these areas of physics (but you should - the very brain of the computer you're using now is a work of quantum mechanics in a 3D scale), it will make you feel interested. There's already a book on QM explaining the physics in the movie. Nolan also was very sensitive with the sound used in the movie. Instead of the ¨epic¨ themes that have plagued Hollywood for years, he used a lot of silence and minimal back noises - which makes the space scenes more realistic. QM, wormhole, and poetic licenses aside, it's a superb movie. I would love to see it getting some Oscars next year.
