Nolan is a shitty filmmaker. Hardly news.

It is what it is. Maybe you can appreciate Nolan for his talents. He's one of the great directors of cinema and one of the few who can film whatever he wants, spend as much as he wants, film for as long as he wants to, and has final cut over his films. At any given time there's less than 5 of those on earth.

I'm R4 and also want to point out that Spielberg doesn't even have that kind of freedom--he's far more limited on budget and part of his shtick is that he underpays all the big names on the crew, who can then get paid more because they worked with him. they make plenty, but if you ever read about his budgets, they're artificially low by 30-40%

Chris Nolan has entered the chat at R4 and R5. 😂
Your films suck donkey dick, man, especially the high falutin Inception 😂

To be fair, he became huge because of the comic book movies and their colossal built-in audiences. He gave those adult children what they want — a The Batman who took himself veddy veddy seriously and brooded than first album Eilish.
No one ever went poor peddling tripe to morons.
His movies are like his The Batman — “what you are about to be lucky enough to witness is probably the greatest, the most important, event in film history. You’re welcome.”

Yes, whenever a thread is posted on a forum for ancient homosexuals which criticizes Nolan, I’m certain he rushes to his screen to defend himself. “Gods, not on Datalounge!” he cries!

I hate that film with a passion. Trying to understand that movie is definitely not worth the effort.

If you think Inception was overrated, you should avoid Tenet at all costs.

'Inception' struck me as too clever-clever for its own, or for anyone's, good.
'Dunkirk' however won me over, absorbed me, and moved me. The 'making of' film showed the phenomenal logistics Nolan had to co-ordinate.
Now I know he's considered an untouchable emperor in the industry I'll follow his work with more interest. Unlimited power does not a genius make.

At least you could hear the dialogue in Inception.

I just saw Inception. And I understood it fine. It is the stupid person’s idea of a smart movie. Of people who want to graduate beyond The Matrix and Donnie Darko to something with true intellectual heft.
There are a lot of movies that deal with the nature of reality, our invented selves, of the seduction of living in a fantasy. Some do it with real tragedy and value and humanity, Mulholland Drive for instance.
I felt sorry for all those actors giving their all for something so schematic and soulless, but hey, they signed up for it.
I’d like to see Nolan make a Bond film.

The worst Nolan movie was Interstellar. Gods I hated that shit.

The Inception soundtrack still holds up. But i struggled with Tenet.

R14 I love Mulholland Drive and thought Inception was okay, eben though I mainly watched it for Cillian Murphy. Which movies would you recommend?

I liked Tenet better than Inception. But that’s not saying much. I also liked Interstellar, mostly because it was visually stimulating in IMAX.

Batman was not that good either. All I remember from Inception was Paris flipping over and the actors talking about conscienceness. Books on the subject are more fascinating. His brother, the showrunner over at Westworld, can't figure out how to showcase the mind and its realities either.

Nolan got his cred with Memento, which had storytelling largely built around what Pulp Fiction had done playfully a few years before. Nolan wove it into the story more and went darker. This was his entree to success so naturally he would repeat variations of it.
I actually like a movie that challenges you. (I loved Memento.) It’s not that I hate his films — they can be fairly watchable and are often well shot — but, like that other celebrated British director, Sam Mendes, he’s thunderously self-important and his movies are typically weighed down by this, ponderous and self-reverential.

I hated Memento, it convinced me Nolan doesn’t make movies for me. Dunkirk and his first Batman were fun but he’s tonally portentous and apathetically passionless, it’s a struggle for me to be interested in what he produces.

Yep, stupid. Didn't he steal this whole idea from a McScrooge comic where Uncle McScrooge has the exact same dream as the plot of Inception?

I agree it's overrated, and horrible. The best thing he ever did was Insomnia and that's because of Robin Williams.

If you think Inception sucks (as I do as well) try watching that stinker "Tenet".
