 Andrei Tarkovsky's "The Mirror" (1975) influenced "elemental things in the story to do with wind and dust and water", according to Nolan, who also compared "Interstellar" to "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948) as a film about human nature.He sought to emulate films like Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" (1975) and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) for being family-friendly but also "as edgy and incisive and challenging as anything else on the blockbuster spectrum".He screened "The Right Stuff" (1983) for the crew before production, following in its example by capturing reflections on the "Interstellar" astronauts' visors.
