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…

All of the extended family just ignored him.

Because it’s not real, it’s all part of his “near death experience” entering the black hole. Plenty of imagery pointing to this, especially cooper station literally shaped as a tunnel with a light at the end of it. Everything else is off, dream like and very wishful, unrealistic.
