He went to buy cigarettes in space
I mean… the daughter was the youngest child and was about to die of old age by the time they reunited… how do you think the kid is doing lol
He had a son?
In that scene there was a room full of his descendants who 100% would want to have a talk with him. but hey no time for that, dude needs to go with his robot buddy to play space cadet and save the hot scientiest.
The son could be removed entirely from the story and almost nothing would change.
When the doctor said she was coming so the doctor never mentions his son so it s easy to think he died
Didn’t name the station after him…..
He traveled to another galaxy.
He survived a black hole.
He traveled through a worm hole, twice.
He was inside a tesseract.
Sent the first messages across time.
Surfed a 1000 ft high wave, with his space ship.
Murph did some math.
He also F’s off to have more adventures with other young women. The rest of his family doesn’t even look at him , so it seems like he’s treated as a deadbeat dad they would all just as soon as completely cut out of their lives, which they do, which he does. His legacy will probably be a lot of family that think he’s trash.
If my son grew up to be Casey Affleck, I wouldn’t ask about him either.
Or the rest of the family , grandkids great grandkids .
His son was a dick. He knew.
I’ve always just presumed that the movie shows the important stuff, not all the stuff.
Also none of Murph’s extended family seem to give a shit that Cooper is there, she settles down to be surrounded by her family and they all give him filthy looks, rather than being amazed that the father of their mother / grandmother / great grandmother has magically appeared in space
Also, he checks on her for like 30 seconds and fuck it, I have to look for my fuck friend…
The extended directors cut he spends about five minutes beating his chest at the horror of his son’s passing.
OP that’s not true. His son just turned into Keemstar
When my son saw this movie, it flipped a switch in him. Changed schools and changed his major to Astrophysics. He got his degree and now works in the space industry flying communication satellites.
All due to this movie.
How about the fact that I hate my son??
Well his son gave up on him, he said we have to let you go
Finally a character about I can relate to…!
To be honest, his son ended up traveling in space too and landing on Arrakis, so he must have planned it somehow.
He went for scratchers.
Must have won because he never came back.
“They keep getting older, and I stay the same age”
What I thought was weird is he comes in, talks to his daughter and his descendants all there huddled in the room and no one even acknowledges him.
They don’t show them taking poops in space…. Did he never have to poop?!
Yes. Jesus, man, you had two kids not one.
It was kind of a dick move by the 5th dimensional humans to drop him out of the tesseract 100 years after he went in. Like they could drop him wherever they wanted and put him right back on earth with his daughter and let them live out their lives together but nah
Dang in just watched this and didn’t even think about that. He just bounced as soon as his daughter told him to go find that chick. He could have stuck around and asked about his grandkids for a min
alright, alright. You keep getting older, I stay the same age.
TIL there was a son not just Murph
His son was a bozo
Fuck man, i liked this movie till now…
One of the main plots is him regretting leaving his daughter and trying so desperately to see her again.
They reunite and it’s basically:
“Hey, how ya doing?”
“Good. You?”
“Good.”
“Okay, see ya.”
“Bye.”
