OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Interstellar Compresses Cosmic Scale Into Family Debt
The film’s scale works when cosmic distance becomes family debt. Relativity is not just science texture; it turns absence into measurable cost.
Why it works
The message sequence and tesseract translate space-time into domestic consequence. The audience feels scale because the screenplay makes time pass through a father-daughter obligation.
