I would go back in time so I could invert my TV so that it played the movie forwards in time while my future self is watching the movie and is disappointed, but because it’s inverted the disappointment is actually enjoyment, but then the inversion radiation gives me ball cancer and I die in the past so I can live in the future with Robert Pattinson.

In a comedy of errors you actually were there by Nolan’s side all along and every change you suggested made the movie what it is today.

Darko posted:Name a "cool" non main character in a Nolan film. Thats the part you're missing; his movies are suoer main character centric, and they're often flawed, pained people with tragedy in their past. They always overshadow the support. Also, on top of it it’s sort of one of his gifts. He creates cool looking characters than when you break it down are always driven sad losers. You’re watching compelling characters who are not role models. It’s why the dark Knight films are better than marvel poo poo. He’s a tragic character that only wins by giving up the garbage mythos of the hero. While the job is argued to be necessary (Robin taking over) it’s deemed a burden rather than some cool thing to aspire too.

I watched this today and thought it was fine. It wasn’t the greatest thing I’ve ever seen but it’s refreshing to watch something that’s at least attempting to do something new and different and is extremely well made. I also feel like it’s something I may enjoy more on a second viewing

I felt this movie had a lot less warmth than Inception or even Interstellar. There’s no big rousing moment where we connect with the character emotionally.

Inception is really the high point so far. The Prestige and TDK also are great. Dunkirk, Memento, Interstellar and the other two Batmans are still good. TENET is easily his worst. He's definitely not a bad director, but each of these movies is a big step down from what he can do.

Dark Knight Rises is fine, if a bit high on it's own fart. There's a plot you can follow and dialogue is largely discernible. TENET does not features these key factors.

Batman Begins is really the best one. The Dark Knight kind of sucks as a film if you look at the parts without Heath ledger. The Dark Knight Rises is straight hot garbage.

The Dark Knight Rises is actually a coherent movie so it is leagues ahead of Tenet.

Inception had an exposition heavy first half that sets up a more interesting premise than Nolan makes use of. Pretty much all the interesting imagery is from a scene that seemed to be constructed entirely for the trailer. The second half is a straightforward boring raid on a military base. If you're going to break all the rules that you spent an hour setting up (bringing the architect!) why not do something interesting with it. Batman Begins was the best of Nolan's batman movies. Dark Knight doesn't make any sense, really. Also Dark Knight is when Nolan is at his worst in when he ends a scene, the world outside of the movie stops existing. Like when Joker threw Rachel out the window and Batman jumps out after her. Scene ends, onto the next one. But, what happens next? Joker is up there still. Does he kill everybody? Why doesn't Batman just wait in the lobby for the elevator? It's because they stop existing when the scene ends. Scenes have no flow to each other at all. You could really jumble up the whole movie and there wouldn't really be any difference in the story.

Generally I find arguments that say "the film was only good because it had X in it" pointless, because even if 100% true, the film DID have X in it, so it's good. Saying a movie would be bad if you removed the good bits doesn't really say much.

it's fun to think about, but yeah, "imagine if x was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT" is not an argument against x.

The only part of TENET I don't think is coherent is the drop at he end which we discussed earlier. One thing I missed on my first viewing was the shockwave Blue Team is landing on is the bomb's explosion burying the algorithm. On my initial viewing I just assumed it was a generic explosion. stratdax posted:Inception had an exposition heavy first half that sets up a more interesting premise than Nolan makes use of.

The problem is the movie left me without any desire to watch it again. I did in fact watch it again, and I do have to admit that I enjoyed it a lot more the second time. I missed a lot of stuff in the second half of the movie that clicked for me this time, and I didn't get to the end feeling lost like I did the first time around.

Inception is on Windows Movie House again and I feel its surreal mind-bending concept is stronger and better executed than Tenant's.

The problem is the movie left me without any desire to watch it again. The second time I watched it I was no longer confused, but it also became more obvious that some parts actually just don't work and the overall plot is just a poorly-communicated Bond riff that doesn't really do much. Everything was clearer, but not really to the movie's benefit.

My sister and her husband weren't impressed after watching it recently and also were confused at some points, so they decided to watch a youtube explainer video that told them that Neil is Max, Kat's son, all grown up. No, that is not correct.

At the end when Washington and Aaron Taylor-Johnson get to the locked door where the dude is about to end the world by dropping the thing into the hole, there's a dead guy laying there. Then, at exactly the right moment, the corpse rises up, unlocks the door and takes a bullet to the head that was meant for Washington. It's later revealed that this is Neil, because he has the little orange doohickey on his backpack. So at the end Neil knows that he now has to invert and go back in time to take that bullet.
