nolan's love of twists is dumb though, hes basically turning into a white m night shayamalan also he's not what youd call a mature guy and while they can be interesting his films always feel very artifical and have little in the way of human qualities or warmth, because in general he seems to embrace a sort of high-school cynic mentality towards people and life and it chokes his movies

His movies are good. Inception was probably the weakest but it had some cool ideas.

numberoneposter posted:nolan is one of those directors that cant allow any form of comic relief ever in his movies and they suffer for it this movement in art, where everything is deadly serious and there isnt a shred of joy, cannot end soon enough. even Dada didnt take itself this seriously and that was after being tricked into killing 6 million "undesirables"

OMFG FURRY posted:this movement in art, where everything is deadly serious and there isnt a shred of joy, cannot end soon enough. even Dada didnt take itself this seriously and that was after being tricked into killing 6 million "undesirables" Nolan’s a depressive Shyamalan who traffics in doomsday scenarios, catering to Millennial pessimists. “Isn’t science about admitting what we don’t know?” Coop’s daughter asks, but Interstellar lacks awe. Nolan’s imagination is so cramped he can’t depict natural American vastness comparable to Albert Whitlock’s memorable F/X dust storm in Bound for Glory. He opens with a Reds-style old-folks doc to evoke senility and Depression-era gloom, eventually leading to a cosmic odyssey of murder, death, anguish, and pseudo-scientific gobbledygook. Dark Knights in Orbit. There’s no spiritual quest; it all lacks edifying, Christian love. Interstellar’s first cosmic image of the Earth as orb is accompanied by a pointless Hans Zimmer organ chord, but it’s visually unimpressive — Nolan doesn’t know how to do majestic. Unlike Godard, Resnais, Spielberg, or Kubrick, he doesn’t have a cinematic eye. Nolan sure is a nihilist, though. His scenario, “The last people to starve will be first to suffocate,” offers typically dire teenage imagining. The closest he gets to religion is when Coop rescues a stranded astronaut (uh, oh, Matt Damon — prepare for secular point-making). Damon’s Astronaut Mann enthuses, “You have literally raised me from the dead.” Insightful Coop responds: “Lazurus.” Not really, guys. This weak pass at Significance goes nowhere. Mann’s real, contradictory purpose is his murderous proclamation: “We are the future!” (Read that also like Frankie Pentangeli saying “Big Deals!”) This mad pronouncement reverses Man of Steel’s Jor-El story and trades its Moses/Christ evocation for Dark Knight nihilism. Nihilism has become a mere box-office reflex for Nolan — a joke that finally undermines Interstellar when Nolan goes soft (“Love transcends dimensions of time and space,” self-pitying Coop learns). Confused? It was evident from the Dark Knight films that Nolan had no clear idea what he wanted to say; now he just gets maudlin. This sap must be nihilism’s flip side; an equally vacuous, corrupt manipulation. And what has moved critics to Titanic/Avatar levels of hyperbole is that Nolan’s loud, flat, gigantic apparatus revives yuppie privilege: “When you’re a parent, you’re a ghost for your children’s future.”

what i want is a well-crafted movie that embraces every genre but action and takes place in a single day and another movie that only takes place in a different physical reality with different rules but does not make a point of it and instead naturally focuses on its own plot which we may or may not understand

or a movie where a character only shown to have limited interactions with others meaningless on the surface nevertheless conveys a great love and humor through implications and fleeting expressions
