gravity - Trajectory of safe descent into a black hole


Is there any specific trajectory that an object can take in a black hole without it getting spaghettified? I am aware that the intance gravity of a black hole would rip apart any object if it falls into one, but would there be any points or paths in the black hole's gravitational field that does not affect the object and the object continues to move towards the singularity, undisturbed.


(Like in the movie Interstellar, the lead character played by Matthew McConaughey plummets into a black hole without getting spheghettified. I am quoting this example because of the fact that Kip Thorne was the scientific advisor for the movie and the entire modelling of the black hole scene was done by him.)
