The theory doesn't make any sense; unlike The Sixth Sense, the main character in Interstellar interacts with a lot of people. If he's dead, so are they (or they're just figments of his post-death experience).
The journey doesn't make any sense as a post-death experience, since none of the events are tied to his life (before the events of the movie), so there's no deeper meaning to the wave planet, or the ice planet, or falling into the black hole.
Also, Nolan doesn't do meta-contextual films. His specialty is the technical aspects of storytelling (see, e.g., Memento, The Prestige, Dunkirk, and Tenet), not in imbuing deeper emotional meanings into his works. Indeed, one of the big critiques of his films (excluding Dunkirk and Oppenheimer) was that they generally lack any emotional depth.
- lo0dot0 2y agoWhat do you mean by technical aspects of storytelling?
- gamblor956 2y agoStructure, mostly. For example, in Memento telling the story backwards. In Inception, the nested dreams. In the Prestige, presenting the plot in the style of a magic trick (which the book does not do). In Tenet, telling the story backwards and forwards. In Dunkirk, mirroring the chaos of the evacuation with the chaotic/non-linear presentation of events.

- pndy 2y agoConsidering the platform this "revelation" was published, I'd rather say that this guy tries to get views on his channel and 5 mins of the Internet fame, and well, he got it from the Independent. I find more fascinating what some people tried to find in Kubrick's Odyssey: http://www.grundejerforeningentaarnborg.dk/stanley_elitens_manipulation.htm http://www.grundejerforeningentaarnborg.dk/stanley_elitens_m...
