Cooper Watches Years of Messages, Explained:let go
Time dilation has cost Cooper decades, and he returns to a screen full of stored messages from his kids. His son grows up, marries, loses a grandfather—"I have to let you go"—while his daughter, now his own age, closes with "it would be a real good time for you to come back."
あらすじ
After the water planet, Cooper learns that time has jumped ahead by decades. Because the station can receive but not transmit, years of video messages from his children have piled up. He plays them from the start: his son grows up and says goodbye, and his daughter, now his age, asks him to come home.

What's really going on
These messages turn the film's time-dilation idea into plain grief. Cooper has not aged much, but his children have lived whole lives without him, and the recordings make that concrete: his son goes from school rankings and a girlfriend to a funeral, while his daughter's voice belongs to a woman older than the man she is calling. The scene's power is in restraint—"I have to let you go" is said calmly, and "I hope that you're at peace" sounds like a eulogy for someone not yet dead. The last line lands hardest: "it would be a real good time for you to come back." It is a plea and a goodbye at once, and Cooper can only watch.

And today I'm the age you were when you left.Time dilation is made personal: she has caught up to the father who left when she was a child.
And something seemed wrong about dreaming my life away.He explains why he stopped sleeping: passing the years in dreams felt like wasting his life.
このシーンについての質問
Why can't Cooper send a message back?
The station where the messages are stored can receive transmissions but not send them, so everything the crew picks up gets stuck there while Cooper is away.
Why does Cooper's son say he has to let him go?
After years of recording messages that never get an answer, he decides to stop waiting for his father and says he is letting him go.
How much time has passed for the people on Earth?
Decades. Cooper barely ages on the mission, but his son grows up, marries, has children, and loses a grandfather, while his daughter reaches the age Cooper was when he left.
Why does Cooper's daughter say it is a good time for him to come back?
She is now the same age he was when he left, so the line is both a joke about their ages and a last plea for him to return home.
