Sure, Oppenheimer blew me away, but Tenet soured me so much, I’m not excited for The Odyssey

Only after batman and inception, it’s overrated and annoying now.
MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Try The Prestige

One of my favorites, didn’t even know it was Nolan. Came out after batman begins, so that tracks.
MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
that tracks
Baseball huh

No? Most of his stuff are terrible movies.
But, I am watching them for fucking around with cool ideas and crazy visual scenes. Couldn’t care less about plot, characters, sometimes logic, etc.

Nolan is literally telling the audience that the story doesn’t matter by deliberately burying the dialog under the music and sound effects.
snooggums@piefed.world 7 months ago
Nolan is wrong. His best movies, which are his earliest movies, have great stories and music and effects and are worth multiple watches.

But I genuinely love momento and the prestige T_T

Hey, the Batman movies were good.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 7 months ago
That Bane one was one of the most poorly-structured, plot-hole-filled messes I’ve ever seen. Nolsn is awful but you’re supposed to like his movies because they’re ‘good’ (if you like things that look very nice but with no characters and terrible dialogue).
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
I thought we liked the first two because they were good and the third one because Bane’s voice was so funny.

I… fully understand this. Hearing this made the whole idea make sense to me. Christopher Nolan’s films are fantastic, everyone knows that… but when you get down to it, they’re… alright.

Like Tenet
I mean, fun idea on paper.
But as a movie i was whelmed. Great actors and shitty script
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 7 months ago
I liked Tenet, but I also made a conscious decision not to think about the plot too hard and just accept it’s vision of it’s own universe.

I made the mistake to watch Interstellar with my brain switched on because people were hyping the super-accurate science so much. I left so angry because the movie is so fucking dumb. Sure, the black hole was fun. But the 5 seconds it’s on screen is not enough to carry the rest of the stupid as fuck plot.

So, I like Interstellar for what it is, but I’ve also made a fun game of it.
I like to ask people if they can name Cooper’s son. Most people don’t even remember he was in the movie.
It’s kind of a reverse situation of Jake Sully being the only name I can remember from Avatar.

big agree: i can only really speak for Interstellar since that’s kinda the only movie of his i’ve properly seen, but the description that comes to mind for that is 'the distillation of movies as “art” '.
It’s not there for the logical part of your brain, it’s there for the feeling part.
Like a really moody landscape painting, there’s no point in logically examining the brush strokes of a random tree. What you’re invited to think about is the atmosphere of it, how it makes you feel.
Spoiler for Interstellar
Take that bookshelf scene inside the black hole in Interstellar, it very very obviously makes no sense whatsoever but the visuals and concept makes you think and feel.
And what i appreciate is that i don’t get the vibe of it wallowing in its ‘artsyness’, which can often ruin ‘artsy’ stuff.

I didn’t understand Tenet.
As in, i couldn’t hear/make out what they where whispering to each other the whole time.
mastertigurius@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s because according to Christopher Nolan, the audio system in your home cinema setup or local cinema setup isn’t worthy. He took audiophile snobbery to the next level. I love most of his films, but he needs to allow the sound engineers to master the audio so that it works for everyone.

I should rewatch Tenet. I think I liked it, and I see criticism all over the internet recently.
TheRealKuni@piefed.social 7 months ago
Don’t be afraid to like stuff. The internet is often diametrically opposed to liking stuff, because SOMEONE doesn’t like it, and they’re going to be the loudest voice.
snooggums@piefed.world 7 months ago
Tenet didn’t make any sense on paper. It made less sense on screen.

It wasn’t meant to be a standalone movie. It was written for the still-unreleased sequel to be the superior part.
