片中引用了英国著名作家、诗人Dylan Thomas的代表作“Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night”。这首诗是写于1951年，狄兰·托马斯用以鼓励病重的父亲。诺兰赋予了这首诗新的含义，不仅仅是某个人的临终怒吼，还有整个人类、星球的命运，又能隐喻光堙没于黑洞的瞬间。
电影上映之后，网络上出现了这首诗的多个译本，每个译本都有可取之处，究竟哪一个版本更得你心呢？
诗作原文
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray,
