What was Interstellar's post-climax scene all about?
I'm confused about the scene where Matthew McConaughey wakes up in this new habitat of the humans. I presume that it's not earth, he's on another planet. And why does the land look like a tunnel there? Is it the black hole where all are residing now?
Best Answer
It's actually a space station, orbiting Saturn. The reason it looks like a tube or the inside of a big barrel may seem a little confusing. But in outer space, there is no gravity. One simple way to simulate gravity is to create a big tube, put the people inside of it, and spin it. Since it's spinning, people are "pushed" against the outside of it. That feels like gravity!
If you're having trouble envisioning this, think of the "Roundup" ride at amusement parks. video
Everybody's pressed against the "outside" of the ride as it spins around. Imagine this if there's no gravity; you would just be pressed, evenly, against the outside. Once you caught your balance, you could get on your knees, and then your feet, with your head pointing towards the center. If you looked "up", you'd see the people on the other side of the ride, standing as though they were on the "ceiling", looking "down" at you!

But in The Science Of Interstellar, Kip Thorne interprets that Murph has figured out how to reduce Earth's natural gravitational pull. If you can reduce Earth's gravity, it makes it a lot easier for rocket propulsion to lift a colony big enough to support life into space.What is the message of interstellar movie?

The filmakers want you to understand however, that Brand did survive and that Edmund had died and was therefore "available" for Cooper. Cooper couldn't know this though.
