  📚 That poem Brand keeps reciting is &quot;Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night&quot; by Dylan Thomas, and hearing Thomas read it himself is something else.

  Dr. Mann&apos;s Martian potato planting skills didn&apos;t go well on this planet, we understand his frustration.

  There are no coincidences in a Christopher Nolan movie. Also, maybe the real villains were the friends we made along the way.

  Brand sending his own daughter away is something I think most people overlook, because we get caught up in the grief Murph is going through when she asks if her father intentionally left her on earth to die.

  I seem to recall Dr. Mann&apos;s first name was Hugh. Hugh Mann.

  Both Mann and Brand thought they were above that evolutionary limit, the need for self-survival. Both lied to themselves about their own nobility, whereas Cooper did not; we was (90%) honest the whole movie.

  IMO, Dr mann was the ultimate villain because he understood what needed to happen and still refused. Brand told a &quot;noble lie&quot; to install human life somewhere, anywhere for humanity to survive.

  Actually, it&apos;s simple. Like drawing straws in reverse. Mann couldn&apos;t face the fact that he drew one of the short straws and didn&apos;t want to be left to die. The irony is that Cooper&apos;s sacrifice ended up being the long straw that saved humanity. (Tesseract intervention, his daughter&apos;s ability to save humanity, his love returns him to Amelia.

  Time itself is the real villain in Interstellar. It&apos;s the only thing they are truly fighting the entire film.

  I always had the sense, after the fact, that Daddy Brand had facilitated the loop from the start, because he spoke to Coop as if he expected him.

  Dr. Mann is more tragic to me. He behaves how most humans would I believe.
