Exactly. They praise Nolan because it makes them feel sophisticated, when in reality Nolan practically spells out plot points and exposition so that even the most braindead of audiences can get it.
The fact that people say ohhh he doesn't use actual science in science-FICTION movie...i mean cummooonnnn its Ficcccctiiooonnn...and Christopher nolan has aced the sci-fi genre...
@@richameena9826 I agree with you Richa....but when it comes to willing suspension of disbelief on which movie making is based of you can not come and say that Christopher nolan is the worst sci -fi director for the reason that he doesn't apply real science in his movies... Because you cannot make a movie with using 100% science or using 100% reality... U cannot like his movies but throwing such a statement is just stupid in my opinion..
As a physics student, I tell you this in absolute confidence- EVERYONE CRUSHES ON MAXWELL. Faraday doesn't hold a candela to the sheer beauty of the 4 equations of electromagnetism.
This comments seems to stem from ignorance, Faraday was a self educated genius ,and it was his experimental works that Maxwell used to formulate the famed equations.. Faraday had a huge influence on Maxwell..who himself was a child prodigy... Belittling Faraday just exudes ignorance..nothing more.
@@qa5176 Being influenced by Maxwell is one thing. But the aesthetic beauty of the four equations is unparalleled. When asked of his impact on Newton's legacy, Einstein writes of his debt to Newton. (Einstein, Ideas and Opinions) that doesn't mean Newton's conception of Gravity is as beautiful as GTR.
@@mouriran3906 I think Faraday's contributions were more direct ..as it was his experimental results that led to the formulation of the Maxwell equations..I get your point though.. Maxwell's equations were beautiful ..as physics should be..but my earlier comment was just to point out the fact..that berating Faraday is just doing a disservice to the very spirit of scientific fervour.. "In the preface to his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), the best exposition of his theory, Maxwell stated that his major task was to convert Faraday's physical ideas into mathematical form."
Mr.joseph might be a good author (haven't read him) but he doesn't seem like an ideal audience. his opinion/ definition of science fiction (Nolan point) and magic realism (fish rain) is so shallow and limited to his silly/stupid prejudices. although it's his opinion (and this is mine) I can't take anyone seriously who says Chris Nolan is a bad sci-fi director! (putting an exclamation mark to prove my point :). PS- people like Manu Joseph are the person who says after watching any movie or series ke " original book achchi thi..." PS2- people who are shitting on TENET are like those unprepared students in the exam who says that the question paper is out of the syllabus... * sound of a mic drop
Nolan fan here. I loved the soundtrack of Tenet. When the lady scientist tells the protagonist "Don't try to understand it, just feel it", I think that's Nolan breaking the fourth wall to talk directly to the audience using a dialogue. I don't think I'll be watching it again anytime soon though.
@@saakimusic it's a fashion to criticize Christopher Nolan. Generally people do it to make themselves look more knowledgeable and cool. This guy said and I quote ' he stop making good films once he got big budget'. I mean how stupid someone has to be to not understand/admire/like TDk trilogy, inception, Dunkirk, interstellar??? Also his whole critisism about how Tesla was unnecessary was just plain stupid and biased... Arre bhai Nolan manu Joseph se ab script approval mange kya?😂
@@keyu1994 Nah nah. Everyone is biased and entitled as well to an opinion. I know people who think Nolan's movies are pretentious. I don't agree with them but I still listen to their thoughts. I judge them when they say that Inception is not good. Because that's a favourite of mine!
The poster/cover that you show for the short-story of Arrival is incorrect. Arrival is based on the short-story/novella called 'Story of Your Life' by Ted Chiang. Passing comment - The movie is way better and Max Richter's soundtrack just adds to the mood.
Hey Vaibhav can you invite Ravish Kumar for the show, he has a unique style of presenting things which he developed from reading books Edit: he is a fan of mughleaazam. He did a whole prime time on the movie
Though I would love to see that episode, I am not sure if Ravish would agree to this format. He has always opposed the idea of giving '5 best books' and believes that especially at this stage, it is more important for Indians to read just anything; there's something to gain from every book.
@@adityadaschoudhury9231 true! what I would love is just general conversation. Because he is very well read. And his humour is just on another level . You can agree or disagree with his views but he has great sense of satire.
First of all I don't know anyone identifies Nolan as a sci-fi director ... He tells very deep but fundamental stories setup in a grand canvas ... Interstellar was not abt solving gravity equation ... It was all about love...love transcends time and space... But also Tenet I had no idea what was going on...
Yeah.. Most of his films uses the science fiction as a backdrop for the more prominent interpersonal relationships.. saying that..Nolan consulted with kip thorne while filming Interstellar...and as a testament to that...the black hole image seen in the film was ..very similar to the recent photo of the black hole..
Actually Interstellar was made under guidence of Kip Thorne, nobel prize winner google it. Intelligence is when you realize every comment on art is personal opinion not fact. People read one book and say it's not accurate.
Vaibhav, If you want to read a good novel on maths than read " Fermat's last theorem" by Simon singh. If you like that then tell me I will recommend more.
Manu Joseph's opinions on magical realism and fantasy are incredibly dumb. I read across his articles and talks (he REGURGITATES his distaste EVERYWHERE).
@@sasi_kumar96 Haven't read much of him. I do have a certain dislike for most of the non-vernacular, non-academic intellectuals-for-the-cultural-paupers that is our privileged internet generation. However, my opinions about his "ideas" about science, reality and magical realism are based solely on this brief video. I stand by them. And yes, I am planning my conversion to communism by swearing on Das Capital soon. I'll invite you to the ceremony. P.S. He does get brownie points for calling Nolan a bad sci-fi film-maker.
I am so happy that this was done before decoupled....I wanted to hear manu the author rather than the decoupled wala manu...will watch the show later though
Man, from a vdo of reco's it turned into a vdo's of dislikes and megomania, and hosts also looked bored. BUT, BUT, I still enjoyed it, cause, even if I do not agree 100%, I always will respect a discerning voice, especially, if it is mostly devoid of prejudices.
Hi ! I want to share with you about one book: "KAYAN KOLLYN- The spiral of the Ellmott & messenger of the secret." a great fiction of adventure, mystery, ART, an ancient CRAFFARTT, and science. once you read it, you definitely love it, because it speaks about all dimensions of life, without the barrier of the beliefs and social divisions. Love your content! Waiting for your review 😊😊
I watched this a few months ago and thought highly of Manu Joseph, but after watching the garbage that is Decoupled on Netflix I no longer think that way. Let alone the fact that it was so problematic. Then again he would blame my “wokeness” for not liking it but it was just so, so badly written.
Yes yes yes decoupled is garbage. It’s like Joseph watched curb your enthusiasm and just tried to copy the essence of the series and of course failed miserably.
When you say there is nothing new from science , you mean Nolan isn’t bringing any new science fiction. Yes he uses science thats there today as the basis . Inception didn’t have any science. And he didn’t even offer any points of criticism on science . So criticism should be on bad use of science . Point taken on prestige. Never got why it had Tesla.
most writers especially fiction aren't great at articulating verbally. Salman Rushdie fumbles through most of his words while others like Murakami rarely agree to speak in public

"These are the days" when "Chalchitra Talks" really sharing something upstanding
It's Chalchitra
Even as a huge admirer of Inception and Memento, the precap worked wonders. ;) Had to watch the whole thing.
This guy had me in on precap....I find most people praising Nolan just out of conformity rather than their own reasoning and appreciation
Exactly. They praise Nolan because it makes them feel sophisticated, when in reality Nolan practically spells out plot points and exposition so that even the most braindead of audiences can get it.
True ! Just like praising movies like Matrix which a lot of people cant even comprehend.
Manu Joseph Powerhouse of knowledge. Big fan
The fact that people say ohhh he doesn't use actual science in science-FICTION movie...i mean cummooonnnn its Ficcccctiiooonnn...and Christopher nolan has aced the sci-fi genre...
Apparently people know more than Kip Thorne,nobel prize winner in theoretical physics WHO WAS HIRED FOR INTERSTELLAR LMAO

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️
thank you
This episode had me hooked in the first few minutes.(made me subscribe too)
Yes. Yes. Yes to the magic realism aspect in literature. Completely agree with him.
Please provide the duration and topic guys please
Manu Joseph's opinions on magical realism and fantasy are incredibly dumb. I read across his articles and talks (he REGURGITATES his distaste EVERYWHERE).
Left liberals hate him..he is a great intellectual..lots of guts to challenge commie brigade..it is obvious that you hate him
@@sasi_kumar96 🤦🏻♂️
@@sasi_kumar96 I am a liberal, and I like Manu Joseph, don't assume everything, because of your biases and prejudices.

Vani, I like the pinkish glow on your face.
Beauty filter
Man i thought the episode with Anand Gandhi was the best ...but this one tops that too.
Never heard someone angrier about exclamation marks. He’s just like me for real.
his books are even more animated but filled with intersting ideas
Copied from Seinfeld!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that this was done before decoupled....I wanted to hear manu the author rather than the decoupled wala manu...will watch the show later though
completely agree with his opinion on nolan.
I don’t think the guy gets what’s science fiction is and knows a lot about movies .
....I think it was rude of cut off Manu & then gloat over their own nostalagic favourite spaces. ...
Manu Joseph being critical of Prestige while Vaibhav on the other side grinning as he had done a whole 1 hr stream on the film.
The man roasted so many people, i lost count 😂
Wow.. The arrogance.. Chalchitra Talks was not about dissing someone.. Disappointing.. Its so cool to criticize Nolan..
It was true though
Bro when are going to finish the tribe of mentors!
He reminds me of Count Pococurante from Candide by Voltaire

I don’t think the magic realism of murakami affects his narration
So it's Stephen Hawking vs Kip Thorne now.
What a dumb thing to expect actual science in science fiction movies. Somebody tell him there are 'textbooks' for that.
I would have liked to know his views on 2001 a space Odyssey
When you say there is nothing new from science , you mean Nolan isn’t bringing any new science fiction. Yes he uses science thats there today as the basis .
Inception didn’t have any science. And he didn’t even offer any points of criticism on science . So criticism should be on bad use of science .

This fellow thinks so much of himself……
when you don't understand, you can spit anything. and we are dumb who just go with u. hehe
what are his tv shows recommendation...lazy to go through the whole video
Fleabag, office (UK&US), Modern Family
for a writer, he isn’t very articulate.Wonder if the last sentence deserves an exclamation mark !
most writers especially fiction aren't great at articulating verbally.
Salman Rushdie fumbles through most of his words while others like Murakami rarely agree to speak in public
the most pretentious of indian authors and contrarian for the sake of being one, who can forget his hot take support of the farm laws
