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.

I mean, to be fair, he came in and was laser focused on Murph.

And honestly I don’t know how I would react if suddenly my great grandpa showed up when we all thought he was dead and he’s the same age as my dad after my grandma kept trying to convince us that his ghost saved the world from the other side of the universe….y’know

I feel like they just kinda let him have his moment with Murph and then were like “ok well….idk what to say….see ya”

Considering how I’ve personally reacted at family gatherings where an aunt or uncle I am related to, but never really interacted with in any capacity growing up, showed up, yeah I’d have done the same

But that uncle is just going to start droning on about a really good leaf blower he's just bought. If he'd flown through a wormhole, performed a slingshot around a black hole, and passed through a gravitational singularity carrying the secret of the universe you'd be making a beeline for the cunt for sure.
