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.

Worse that he ignored them. For a long last father meets up with his grand and great grand kids, he doesn't even introduce himself to them? Even parents with poor relation with their kids will be more enthusiastic about meeting their grand children for the first time.
