A transcendent science fiction drama, INTERSTELLAR became a cultural phenomenon, thrilling audiences and critics with its “enthralling” (Rolling Stone) exploration of humanity’s future through a story that is “intelligent as well as epic” (Los Angeles Times). Acclaimed for its scientific accuracy, INTERSTELLARcaptured viewers’ imaginations, earning over $730 million worldwide and five Oscar® nominations, with a win for Best Visual Effects. The film features an extraordinary cast, including Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Timothée Chalamet, Ellen Burstyn, Bill Irwin, Wes Bentley, David Oyelowo, Casey Affleck, and more.

Oscar®-winner Matthew McConaughey stars as the ex-pilot turned farmer who is forced to leave his family and a foundering Earth behind to lead an expedition traveling beyond this galaxy.
Without going into spoilers, I was fine with everything up until the ending. For me it made Arthur/Joker’s journey pointless. It neither feels cathartic or earned. Basically he had a miserable life from beginning to end and that’s it. The first film spoke about the Haves and the Have-nots and those who are left forgotten by a system that has dilapidated under its own weight.
While Arthur’s actions are not correct, one can understand from his point of view why he did what he did. In addition, sometimes the downtrodden characters in drama and in life are the only ones who know what is really going on. You see this in Shakespeare with the grave digger in Hamlet. He’ll tell you what’s going on in the kingdom. He may not be as artful as Hamlet and Horatio, but he is honest and sobering.
So I don’t know why Todd Phillips chose this horrible conclusion to the character’s story, but I have read the original screenplay which was published professionally, and the screenplay clearly states that this is the Joker. In fact, there is a subtitle underneath the word joker on the cover that says “an origin story.” So why change things now when it’s obvious that you had, speaking of Phillips, a definite intention, which you may not have thought was going to resonate as it did, but nevertheless sometimes art has a life of its own, and while he has every right to tell the story and conclude it as he does, nobody can blame anyone for feeling as though he ruined something that should’ve been better left alone. I really feel it should’ve just been a one and done story and that’s just my humble opinion. Thank you.
