How I feel about any recent Chris Nolan.

[–] Discoslugs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude. Watched Oppenheimer and posted review stating that people should go see it , butt..........

People got pissed. His movies are getting worse.

The prestige is my christopher Nolan movie.

I love the prestige, but Interstellar was his best work in my opinion. Definitely gone downhill since then, although I still enjoyed Oppenheimer. Tenet hurt my soul

Tenet hurt my soul

As someone who watched Primer and Tenet back-to-back (both first-time viewings), I am amazed that a film produced on an astronomically higher budget than the other could be twice as confusing, twice as long (!), and so much more exhausting because of the story's reliance on world-ending stakes.

Hot take, but Chris Nolan is the master of making films that feel smart but are actually pretty dumb. He's like Zack Snyder but he's good enough at pulling it off that his movies are a hit with critics. People who tend to overestimate their own intelligence will often hold Nolan in high esteem. He's also a cryptofacist.
