Kip Thorne's black hole Gargantua from the film Interstellar is being revisited, with explanations that it was not a mere visual effect but a scientifically grounded rendering where gravity dictates nearly everything on screen. Discussions cover what the shadow is, why the accretion disk appears above and below the hole, the role of the photon ring, and details the filmmakers deliberately left out.
