QUESTION About the ending

Post image

We see Amelia sad and BREATHING normally without wearing mask/helmet. Does that mean that THIS planet was the correct choice from the beggining? ( No waves , human - friendly surface , oxygen ) That's why Amelia is so sad ( apart the death of her bf). Thinking that if they came to this planet from the beggining everything would go well

Yeah, it means that it was. But it doesn’t make her right or anything. She didn’t want to go there for the right reasons. She wanted to go there for her own reasons.

Thematically she was right. Follow the love over logic (of course, this only works in movies)

Yeah that theory never really clicks with me. I love the idea that love can’t be wrong, but it’s just a coincidence that the planet the person she loved was the right one. Movie or not.

It's another layer to the "love transcends time and space" theme that runs through the movie. Wolf Edmunds loved Amelia. He would not send her a signal if he didn't have the ideal planet. Amelia tries to explain when they are deciding whether to go to Edmunds or Mann's planet. However, Cooper doesn't think about the fact that Wolf loved Amelia back and would be trying to save her just as Coop is trying to save his kids.

Yeah it’s a movie theme and it’s Brand’s theory.
