Interstellar

This must be Hans Zimmer’s greatest complete score. While The Dark Knight, and Gladiator have their selections — the entire score of Interstellar is wondrous and immensely listenable. The central theme of Interstellar has a few iterations within the soundtrack. My fingerstyle version is based the most minimalist variation, First Step.

I love the subtext within Nolan’s films. He has a constructionist attitude of the human race. Nolan is always nudging the audience with inspirational and heart-driven storytelling. I love this quote from Interstellar:

“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements.

But we lost all that.

Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.”
