I haven't watched Interstellar in a long time and this was a treat to read, more with your added insightful commentary. Knowing you're a sci-fi fan, what did you think of Dune 2?

Man, I really wanted to send this to you, but I felt bad because I still haven’t seen your microfilm. I’m going to watch it this weekend.

I’m glad you saw the post though. Did you agree with my argument?

And I haven’t seen Dune 2 yet, but I liked the first one. Gotta love Denis

Oh no worries!! Watch it whenever, and also don't expect too much, it was a learning experiment that I enjoyed making.

I did agree with your argument! Many things and angles I hadn't even thought of, like all the strong relationship with gravity, how much it really is about love and its different dimensions, and I just found your interpretation profound, much more than what I remember getting from it years ago. will have to rewatch with all this in mind.

Yes, we can discuss Dune 2 when you watch it! Or hopefully we'll get another insightful breakdown like this one ;)

Thank you! I found out some those angles as I wrote the piece. I love how many layers there are to Nolan’s movies, it really feels like a complex experience watching them

Another great thought provoking essay. Love found gives us the highest of highs and love lost the lowest of lows.

Great point. There is a lot of sadness in the movie too. But it is not a meaningless sadness. It is not despair, but lament

“Don’t try to understand it: just feel it” applies to Love in this movie
