Just watched the movie for the first time, I'm pretty sure love was only brought up as a "magical force" twice in the movie (from Dr Brand and Cooper), but both times, I found the scenes perfectly reasonable.With Dr Brand, she was clearly desperate to see Edmund again, and as she tried to explain her reasoning after Cooper revealed her attraction to him, she became more and more nonsensical and emotional, and it was clear the other two weren't accepting it. It seemed like the words of someone who has given up all hope in logic, and can only cling on the illogical to maintain her reasoning.With Cooper, he was in a three dimensional construct made to represent five dimensional space. He literally doesn't understand what is going on, and it's clear that this part of the movie becomes more abstract as we leave the realm of known science (correct me if I'm wrong). Be that the case, he tries to reason his actions and beliefs with love, in part because like Dr Brand, he has no other logical hope to hold on to, and in part because this is the only way he knows how to explain whatever phenomenon he is experiencing to TARS.To me, both these scenes are clearly justified in showing the human sides of the characters, and are a minor detour into irrationality that demonstrates that these characters, and our understanding of the world, are all flawed and imperfect. So why do so many people seem to dog on these scenes? Can someone help me explain that? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3F08O1F
