Christopher Nolan talks the scene where Cooper finds out he missed out on his kids' lives in #Interstellar
"It was always the north star of the film ... We filmed McConaughey’s reaction first ... he hadn’t seen the video messages—we’d filmed them all in advance, so that everything would be there in the moment ... The last piece of the puzzle was a beautiful piece of music by Hans Zimmer that hadn’t really found a place in the film. I think he literally referred to it as “organ doodle" ... it was devastating ... When the messages stop, the music stops ... it’s not the sort of thing that I like to do, but it felt perfect and apt for that moment"
