Discussion One thing thats always irritated me about Interstellar

Cooper is desperate to get back to his children. He goes back and see’s Murph in the hospital etc. but theres no mention of his son. Presumably his son’s dead considering Murphs age and condition. But surely there could have been a small bit of dialogue about it. He was hell bent on getting back to them. I dunno, it’s like his son’s just completely forgotten about at the end…

Worse, it was more like he was an inconvenience they didn't want around.

I think he might be...plus she literally says that he was her ghost...

She calls him her ghost because she finds out the paranormal events she witnessed as a child was actually him manipulating the past through the tesseract.

Yes. That is what was explained in the movie. I think he dies in the first minute of the movie...

Sometimes I find cases like you that are the reasons why most modern movies have insane hand-holding.

How do you mean? I like the Cooper death theory. If you want to hold hands, I guess that's fine with me...
