The Prestige was just about good. Been downhill from there.

Nolan doesn't make movies, he makes memes.

He's an excellent visual director, but somehow he and the people in charge got it in their minds that he's some kind of auteur, which he's not. He shouldn't be allowed within a mile of a script revision. He has THE WORST taste in dialogue.

kek

>you remember the time when Sup Forums loved Nolan

He just needs to hire someone competent to write dialogs for him.

Bad dialogue maybe, but you have of course seen Memento. The guy makes movies we all like. Can't blame him for one Dark Knight Rises out of the tons of decent movies he's made.

All the Batman movies and Interstellar had the same problem

wuts that?

>his last good movie, The Dark Knight, literally killed Ledger

It's not about whether it'll kill Nolan. Everyone knows a blood sacrifice must be paid in order for hacks like Chris Nolan to churn out box office gold, despite having marginal directing skills.

Literally been coasting since the Dark Knight. And that movie was only good because of Heat Legend.

Bad script with bad ethos not elevated by nice-looking movie

The Prestige is still one of my favorites

Memento was the only movie of his that I really liked, Batman movies were pretty bad besides Ledger and Interstellar/Inception both suffered similar problems

haven't seen The Prestige though

Quads confirm

Interstellar is literally the definition of a hack movie
Cool concepts, nice look
Absolutely retarded execution and resolution

>pretending Nolan isn't the Kubrick of our generation

Oh..this thread again

Somebody get this hothead outta here

>Prestige

You are confusing us with the other site you came from.

Shit filmmaker. England hasn't produced one since the 80's.

>ou never understood why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special. You really don't know? It was... it was the look on their faces...

>The Prestige
>Not Kino

>You* never understood

Thanks for clearing that up.

i had no idea what ou meant thank you so much for the correction

Cutter: Take a minute to consider your achievement. I once told you about a sailor who drowned.
Robert Angier: Yes, he said it was like going home.
Cutter: I lied. He said it was agony.

No worries cunt

No he's not. There was a time when Nolan was only known for Memento, Batman and The Prestige. Sup Forums loved him then, and they were right too, cause those movies are great.

No, but he INSISTS on only making bad movies.

>The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything.

He made his best kino already. It's called The Dark Knight.

Heh. Make fun of him as we may, he gave us our best meme yet.

I have been tracking meme culture since the late 90s, and Baneposting has no competition.

interstellar had a "bad ethos" you say?

I will literally dust off anyone who says this is a bad movie.

It would be extremely painful

fuck off you autist no one cares

You can't dust off a person, silly. I'm neither an appliance nor dusty.

And that movie was cringeworthy nonsense. Hurr it's the brother all along.

ARTICLE: OVERRATED - CHRISTOPHER NOLAN!!!FACT!!! 247365hatemachine.blogspot.ca/2015/02/overrated-christopher-nolanfact.html

That isn't how it works. If you believe all the way (Michael Bay) it can't get you, and if you don't believe at all (Nolan) it can't get you. Only when you believe half way (Tony Scott) can it get you.

Interstellar was kino level imo... our generation's 2001: A space odyssey

I'm not even meming

Kill yourself autistic Nolan hater

LOVE, TARS

interstellar was shit. Stfu.

But it was quality kino tbqh senpai

Your opinion is shit tbqh

>stfu
With this level of discourse I'm sure to listen to your opinion on film

Nuh uh, and you're a fucking bully

Yep

No, but it killed Heath Ledger.

Did someone ITT make this joke already? I don't care.

no u

>still believing it a suicide

I'm interested to see Dunkirk.

It's his first non-fiction film, a big change for a director who is known for wacky twists and big concepts.

I appreciate you, user

>WWII film from the perspective of the British and/or Americans
>"non-fiction"

Bullshit

tourettes ?

sorry, user. You just made me mad by comparing Nolan to Kubrick. Don't get me wrong, Nolan used to be pure kino. But now, his movies are cheap plots with overacting and oversaturation of music to get emotions out of the audience. Interstellar was filled with plotholes that were clearly caused by how Nolan wanted to reach a destination (the whole blackhole age thing). Instead of treating it like a journey, he treated it with overzealous music and grainy world that were the only reason it had audience feeling, instead of characterization, dialogue and a sense of normality. It presisted and forced the audience to imagine that the world he built can happen and that it's all "scientifically accurate" so it could all happen, meanwhile, he dircted the movie like a fantasy.

ur gay stfu

Okay, wehrboo.

your mom is gay

>most of his films are extremely memorable
>does things like build the rotating hallway inception rather than cgi

i appreciate him even if some of his films can be rough around the edges in terms of continuity and other things but i feel he tries to buck the trend at least

also, pretty hype for dunkirk

>inb4 someone posts soldier smiling about to die in dunkirk

>Never show anyone. They'll beg you and they'll flatter you for the secret, but as soon as you give it up... you'll be nothing to them.
>just showed the little boy

what did he mean by this ?

He just showed him the secret

Dear Lord

You say that like he could but he doesn't feel like it. Nolan can't seem to consistently do better than decent visuals.

Michael Bay is a director who COULD make amazing movies but doesn't seem to give enough of a shit.

Nolan is only in this business for money. he is no different than Michael Bay

On the contrary, I actually think that they're both in it for the love of what they do. Just they have somewhat narrow views of what it is that a director does.

Michael Bay seems to genuinely love well executed and exciting action. Something elaborate being put together just right is what he's in it for. If the script happens to be decent that's nice too but who gives a fuck?

Nolan's kind of like that too. He seemed genuinely proud of the infamous plane sequence, but in the interview I saw he said absolutely nothing about the characters, dialogue or overall film. He just talked about getting a plane to hang upside down from another one via mostly practical effects. I think he's genuinely aiming to create old-style movie-magic every time he goes to work, he's just too much of an autist to really understand how anything beyond technical proficiency contributes to the effect. He's known for not doing many takes of anything, who cares if Aiden Gillen looks and sounds like he's insane? Nolan probably didn't even watch closely, too busy thinking about if the plane looked right.

Describing Nolan as an autist is actually interesting. I know he generally has the final say on the words the actors say in his films, and his dialogue is always logical - each line serves a purpose - but often feels very written, unnatural or otherwise weird.

>Everyone knows a blood sacrifice must be paid in order for hacks like Chris Nolan to churn out box office gold
It didn't worked for TDKR.

It makes a fair amount of sense. Interstellar felt like a technical savant trying to recreate 2001. He was extra fussy with all the technical details just like Kubrick but beyond that everything felt quite shallow and lazy, like he sees everything else as superficial or less important.

He knew to aim for something other than visuals, but only vaguely. Interstellar's plot is a confused mess of mystery, humanism, despair and far-out science that all feels like it's only there to tick boxes rather than accomplish something coherent.

Who died in the production of that movie?

The blood and the souls of the Aurora shooting victims gave power to the the Baneposting.

bump for genuine discussion.

u mad & jelly as fuck

this guy sucks balls, all his characters are cardboard-cut from boys adventure books. Except boys adventure books have more colourful characters, nolans characters are only vessels for nolan's pseudo intellectual commentary
