Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. I'm asking a lot of you, but I appreciate all of you for doing it. Let's watch Interstellar. Three, two. stellar um I'm gonna stop everything
Starting point is 00:01:34 um yeah I'm like wrecked wow yeah the details of even like him at the very end not wanting the life that feels
Starting point is 00:01:48 temporary and then her being at a place that's home and him always seeking and pioneering even the details of like the opening of the film is about him always like seeing you can't settle you gotta go forward forward forward and that being settling to him so we'd like go to find her like at first i was like oh it's such a simple thing to be like a love story between the two of them that they wouldn't have they would have known
Starting point is 00:02:10 each other but like they didn't necessarily have that kind of connection so i was like oh that i don't know if that works for me and then i realized it wasn't about that it was about that pursuit of home that that striving that ambition and potentially whatever like connection they had on top of that but like right you mean between him and brand yeah yeah yeah yeah like it wasn't just about brand it was about his drive and brand like i i like that the they set up why he'd always be looking yeah yeah i feel like in that like at the end you're like oh it is love love did lead her to the right place where she could actually take a breath of air and now in turn the love he gets from Murphy is sending him away to not see her die and then and it's like full circle and him
Starting point is 00:03:03 going to go now search for brand which love would lead him in the right direction brand did indeed find their what would be their new home and he finally got to say goodbye yeah that's all he wanted yeah let's say bye to her not that way but like he didn't get to say bye right and she got to see that promise fulfilled but like for that brief moment like she flew there to die and like to forgive him like to do yeah man i just like this movie is just extremely moving and it's really beautiful there's like i feel gross even saying like beautiful shots great music right like magnificent and acting. I'm like, yeah, duh. Yeah, it's like, it's like, I'm like you, yes, you gave us a real piece of art to like,
Starting point is 00:04:03 this is the proof in why making movies can change like lives. Yeah. Truly, because this was such a moving experience that, I mean, I really felt this movie I think did, its job in making you feel like you went through space in time. You went to a fifth dimension. You felt what he was feeling in space and also that pull of fatherhood or motherhood, if you'd want to call it. And that in what Anne Hathaway was saying,
Starting point is 00:04:43 that love has to be a quantifiable thing. Why do we have it then? Yeah. And I love that. argument and if he loves her then that would be what guides him like what like that that intrinsic pull and force totally
Starting point is 00:05:00 which does work man I I'm so glad I forgot so much that movie like because I saw it in theaters experience it again yeah and I think I should only watch it like every 10 years yeah because I guarantee when I've kids they'll be of some young age
Starting point is 00:05:16 in 10 years they'll be under 8 and like that will be very formative for me as a father to see it in a new way because when I saw it at 26 I was a 20 year old and they're generally dumb no disrespect but like absolutely I didn't like the weight of it wasn't there I remember there was a few moments I remembered visuals of but not the emotional weight of the movies about the emotion not about the visuals so it's funny that my brain remembered some
Starting point is 00:05:42 images but it didn't remember the betrayal it didn't remember the love it didn't remember the I remember the bookcase imagery but it didn't remember it enough to know why it was important so I got to have that twist again yeah and now emotional weight of it is a new it's a big twist too yeah I like I don't know maybe I was drinking I don't know why I don't remember this movie but like it was so
Starting point is 00:06:02 emotionally wrought and like 10 years is crazy how different you are as a person so I really like that idea and that also ties it with space time like they're losing time at all time so I think I want to use this as like an anchor of time because it's so magnificent for like love
Starting point is 00:06:18 and and loss in time yeah it's such a unique use of sci I agree. I mean, it's, it's, it's like the story of what fatherhood could do when it like crosses space and time. And I mean, you could say the same thing for motherhood. It's like, that's what a relationship does. And I think that even that line when Anne Hathaway is like, well, we love people that have died. And they, they kind of argue back, well, that you're not making a great point. But this movie makes that point. Yeah. I mean, in what we, we saw. I mean, it, it proves this point that that love, you know, kind of crosses all, all barriers and can go, it's, it's boundless almost. Without it being
Starting point is 00:07:11 like that type of a movie. It's more about science and like, and it's space in it. But really at the heart of it, It's like that love goes leaps and bounds. And especially when you, and a very clear defining moment is in fatherhood with Murphy. I mean, that's our strongest. And what I never gathered, like, again, the emotion versus the visuals. Like, thinking about it now, how many times we've been drawn to like a hall
Starting point is 00:07:40 or to take a left instead of a right or to not pull out into traffic or how many times we've just instinctively felt a thing? And in this reality, like, what ancestor or loved one or future self or future version of us or future grandkid or future anything or present or past thing is giving us a nod or an inclination or, and I love that idea of like when you feel something, you can't put your finger on it because it transcends space and time. Could be. It's like people who are like, oh, they have their guardian angels watching over them. It's like we're using it and you're basically showing us that, but it's showing it. it to us in a different way which it would be your ghost someone who is there a past loved one giving you information and that's like her instincts told her to look at the watch no one else
Starting point is 00:08:30 is going to look at that and that's us right moving through life our instincts are going to tell us right they're going to inform our decisions yeah because of us whatever that feeling is totally and i really i mean it's so interesting because it's a movie about like you said fathers and sons and mothers like it's a movie about that but like I think of that expression like there's a time you pick up your kid for the last time like there's a there's a moment where you've always held your child and then you never will again and there's a time in more of my circumstances and don't have kids like I always think of there being a time that I never picked my bike back up to ride with my friends there's a time that I didn't realize I'd never put on that favorite shirt again there was a time that I didn't realize I'd never hug that friend or or and all those things and this movie's kind of that for family in so many different ways but it's looking at it head on it's like looking directly at that
Starting point is 00:09:24 concept but in a sci-fi lens yeah like loss of time is so hard to quantify thank you to Huell for sponsoring today's video now guys I'm going to give you all the God's honest truth of how this sponsorship came to be
Starting point is 00:09:40 sponsorship came to be we got contacted about basically partnering up with Huell before we agreed to anything thing, the very first thing I said was I would like to try the product first. I did a Instagram post on our Real Rejects one. It was the first time you see me trying the Hewell product. Basically going like, hey, we might not partner with them. This is not a paid Instagram post, but I just wanted to try it since a lot of you guys
Starting point is 00:10:01 asked for like health recommendations now and the know kind of what I take only because of the fact that I'm vegetarian. I have very limited protein options. So I gave it a shot and ended up loving it. Primarily the chocolate one. Wow, this is really, this is a really great one. One of the best things about it is that, yes, it's pre-packaged, and a lot of times when it comes to, like, the prepackaged bottles, I'm not a big fan of them normally, which you got me drinking on camera, is one of these, which takes a very long time to put together and can often get messy, and it's just not aesthetically pleasing, but I'm trying to pack like a lot of vitamins and fiber protein. The best part about Huell is a lot of what I try to pack into this one giant shake is already available in this little bottle.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Often taste better than what I can actually assemble myself. It actually tastes great. It's got a high protein intake count as well. And you know what? Brad new bottle. If you guys can see, it's filled to the top. This is how good it tastes. Now, normally, what you want to do is spread it out.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But if you wanted in one go, it is just as good. It tastes really freaking good. Thank you so much. from this video. The one thing they want me to say is this is you can get 15% off Huel today with code Rejects at Huel.com slash Rejects. Fuel your best performance with Huel today. They are great and I am already almost out of the many bottles they sent me. If you guys do go check them out at Huel.com slash rejects. You'll see they've got a whole bunch more items available as well. And if they taste anything as good as this, I'm going to be a very happy customer
Starting point is 00:11:35 for a very, very long time. So join me on this health journey. It's very hard because we're not I think what this movie I would imagine in walking out of it in a theater makes you more aware of gravity and time and how we should be utilizing it. I think to your core as a person, I think that that movie also gives us that message because we're not, as people, we're not aware of time at. this level or gravity. We're like, we have shit to do, right? I got to go to this thing. I got to go to that thing. I'm a job. If you have kids, if you have a old wife or a husband or boyfriend or whatever, we're not really thinking about the large idea of kind of why we're here and how should we best utilize our time. And I think like in really putting love at the top of our story would be the best idea. Yeah, I really got to get off Twitter.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Totally. Like it made me really think of how much like I've wasted a decade. And not like every minute, obviously. But I've spent so much time. Totally. About nothing. Me too. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, scrolling.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And that's gotten me some jobs. Me too. But not enough jobs. Me too. Not enough. Not enough. I'm not going to be 36 again. I'm a blink and I'm going to be 45.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Exactly. And I will tell you. you in me going off of like i will post but i won't look at anything on there because it's damaging to my psyche sometimes uh that i do feel better when i'm not i mean i think everyone would say that now but yes like seriously like this my person is like you know you know twitter get off oh man that was that was truly remarkable it's a really it's a moving work of art it is a very monumental piece of cinema that I think also this movie will withstand, I think, space and time. 100%. They should send this to whatever they do to preserve stuff to show.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Obviously. Yes. To put it in the shuttle. Send it off. So all generations have this film to look back on because I just, I mean, I can't say enough good things. The very obvious things of that Christopher Nolan knows what he's doing when it comes to filmmaking. And him and his brother write a mean script, these fellas. Totally. And that when it comes to casting and that the right kind of people are always cast, I mean, across
Starting point is 00:14:23 the board, there's absolutely no faults, which is why it's like, I can't even talk about it. I know, I'm so flabbergasted. Like that Timmy Chalemay, Casey Affleck is so in front of us. Like you said, like now you're just going to see the other one. Because it's so good. Casey Affleck, duh. And like, whoever that kid was, they cast his young, Jess
Starting point is 00:14:41 They have the same lips. How did they find that child being a Jessica Chesting? And she was good. Incredible. Like, that's the hard part. You can match a face to go visually and then they suck. You give them one line. You're like, don't do much.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Just look like them. But Chalemae's voice is Casey Affleck's voice. It totally. How did they do that? I do not know. And then I got to find out what Cheska Chastain 20 years ago is doing now. That child, like I, you know, cast her in something. She was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Totally. I mean, and I don't know. I don't, I've never seen her in anything else after that. Not that I know of. And she obviously did a fantastic job. And this is like in the middle of the McConnoissance that is well deserved. What a, what a legend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And he, I mean, I've read his book and I follow his work pretty closely. Yeah, I read his book too. I love Green Lights. That was a life-changing book for me. I, yes, listening to his stories and the way that he gravitated towards acting in certain. um things that in his brain meant like that's a green light that's a go uh made me treat how i approach my career differently yeah um and so yeah i'm glad you brought that up highly recommend it did it changed how i looked at my my life i feel like i i wish i had more to say
Starting point is 00:16:05 yeah i don't at the end of the day we talked for like 20 minutes about it's a freaking fantastic I think masterpieces are harder to quantify than, like, good. I think very bad is hard to talk about, and I think exceptional is hard to talk about. I agree with you. That's where I was like, I feel disgusting saying, this is beautiful, it's well written, it's gross. Those are all like, I'm not even, I don't have enough words, right? I don't, I can't. What's your log line on this?
Starting point is 00:16:28 What's your elevator pitch for interstellar? This was exceptional. This was one of those, this. And you know what it reminded me of my favorite movie I've watched reacting, which was The Abyss. I'd never seen the abyss and this reminded me of the abyss in a very unique way that third act where
Starting point is 00:16:44 like in that case it's extraterrestrial and there's something helping us be our better selves and this is very terrestrial and that it's our own selves and I really like the mirroring between the films so this this hit me hard
Starting point is 00:16:55 it's definitely reframing how I'm spending my time I work too much I'm gonna go home and not work I'm actually gonna cancel shit tonight I'm gonna actually like live a little this movie was so affecting that ride at dog
Starting point is 00:17:07 you know what I'm like I want to live a little this really like hit me so uh me dear audience do something you want to make i know that's i say that a lot of times in videos but if you've watched this whole reaction if you've gotten to this point um do something for you because yeah this is the only whatever day you're watching this on if it's december 20th it's the only december 20th you get of that year if it's 2024 ever in your entire life yeah if you're watching this in the future in 2030 and youtube still exists it's the only september 2nd 2030 do something um Because, man, we don't get a lot of these.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So that was incredible. Thank you to filmmakers for making art that has wrecked me at a genetic level. And thank you to the actors, writers, producers, gaffers, best boys, seamstresses, sound designers, special effects artists, people that made the rivets on the spaceships. Editors. The editors, Jesus, the composer we didn't look at yet. Everyone that, you know, it takes a thousand people to make something like that. And my God, thank you. And do you, to watch this, you allow us.
