Ten years after its release, your perception of the film Interstellar could well completely change thanks to a new very interesting theory, which is enjoying great success on social networks.
interstellar continues to fascinate moviegoers
Interstellar is generally considered Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, whose 12 films we have ranked for you. It's not for nothing that almost a decade after its release, the feature film starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, to name but a few, is still the talk of the town. And in fact, American streamer and influencer JaredFPS recently shared an ambitious theory on his X account.In just two days, his publication, a two-minute video, has accumulated 160,000 likes and no fewer than 2,000 comments.
It must be said that JaredFPS's tweet is enough to start big debates:This one shares the theory that Cooper, the main character, would actually be dead before the film even begins, during the crash that he seems to dream about in the first minutes of the film.The shot below is then used, but it is with surprise that we realize that the exact same shot of the exterior of the ship is used again much later in the film, after one hour and seven minutes, when the astronauts land on the aquatic planet Miller. And this would not be due to chance, or to some laziness of the director.
a theory that changes everything
Knowing the virtuosity and perfectionism of Christopher Nolan, JaredFPS refuses to believe that the same plan of the ship was used twice at random. According to him, Interstellarwould in fact tell the story of Cooper's passage into the afterlife after his death,and that's why he would have relived his crash. The full explanation is available in English in the video below, but know that it is based on other more or less relevant clues.

First, the very first sentence uttered by Cooper's daughter, Murphy, to her father is “Dad, I thought you were the ghost.” Too light for you? Then maybe you'll find it more interesting that the expeditions that preceded Cooper and his gang were called “Lazarus,” an obvious (or not?) reference to the character resurrected by Jesusafter he was sacrificed by Caephas and Anan.
There are other clues that also raise the alarm throughout Interstellar, such as the many references to the cryogenic “great sleep”, which would be a perfect metaphor for death. Likewise, the TARS robot who tells Cooper “see you on the other side”before he enters the black hole Gargantua to signify that he will find him in the afterlife. According to JaredFPS, this moment “symbolizes the final transition”, the moment when Cooper finally accepts death. Finally, note that the man finds his daughter, at death's door, at the very end of the feature film. However, according to Doctor Mann (Matt Damon), “just before dying, we see our children again”. Coincidence?
All these clues are certainly very slight, but when put together, they can leave doubts hanging over the true meaning of Interstellar. This is all the more true since Christopher Nolan likes to leave questions hanging and allow viewers to make their own interpretations.It is also this tendency that had already pushed ingenious fans to detect a clue that would reveal the true ending of Inception, years after its release.
If you're waiting for the director to speak out to form an opinion on this theory, you might be disappointed: in this article, we explain why the director no longer responds to your theories.
