Yet another round of bickering sparked off by a Nolan film. *le sigh*

But not about the film's quality, thankfully!

I see Interstellar as a film about evolution and compassion and the triumph of the human spirit.

The film is certainly touching on the religious tenants of faith and love (note the prominent organ - Nolan as admitted as much, but as far as I know the man himself is nonreligious), but, as Ryan said, it is essentially areligious. It's of course interesting to look at it from a religious perspective. It's almost like the closest thing you can get to an atheist's religious movie. We don't believe in God, but we do believe that there will be something after us, and that, someday, humanity will evolve. I have faith, or at least I hope, that, when we do evolve into greater beings, that love, peace, compassion, and altruism will be our primary values.

Of course, part of the beauty of the film is that you don't have to view that way. You can easily see it as a reflection of religious values and I'm sure Nolan would be okay with that. At the end of the day, it's really a story about a man who loves his daughter, and a woman who loves her father. I think anyone, regardless of religious affiliation, can see the beauty in that.
