My dad brought me to see this movie on release, I was 10. Now 17 years later on second watch this movie is a perfect potrayal of post irony and post-postmodernism. Similar to how Shakespeare was seen as low-brow, but becomes genre defining-that’s this film.
I watched this for the first time with my dad when it came out in 2007. I was 7 years old and had a horrible panic attack during the movie (my dad was nuts for thinking i could watch this!) I have since rewatched and while I absolutely loved it (ranked #38 of my top 100 movies), it was honestly retraumatizing to see and just as anxiety inducing as it was when i was a child! i won’t be rewatching for a long time but boy do i still ponder this movie!!!
I recently had my third time watching this film. The last time I watched this movie was with my mom. Why did I show my mom this film? Anyway I watched this for my intro to cinema class. It is still surreal and horrifying! I absolutely love the final moments of the film. You can tell that a lot of detail went into making pretty much everything in this film the way it is. The two main actors do a top notch job. I love the vibe this film has. Very dreamlike and unique. I feel like on this rewatch I have enjoyed the small acting and comedic aspects of the film more.
i didn’t get to watch interstellar when it initially came out but lady luck loves me and i got to experience watching this masterpiece at the cinema at just the right place and time (with a fully developed brain and plenty of knowledge about the topics at hand).
a few years back i also watched disney’s hercules and it was glorious so whatever the movie is i think everyone should take advantage of theatrical re-releases.
