Nolan is the man! He's proven you that you can make epic blockbuster movies without sacrificing compelling storytelling. Studios can trust him and his artistry. He always gives you a unique movie going experience.
Very high quality video. Nolan at the very least is an auteur. Love him or hate him you know his films when you see them.
Superb analysis!
Especially inclusion of his weaker aspects which usually gets blurred out in the light of his movie's success.
Thank you Mr Nolan for everything you have given to movie history and to us , audiences around the world. Cinema is not understood in the 21 st century without Christopher Nolan movies. There are not enough awards to thank your contribution to movie making . Thank you for so much. October 21, 2023.
I second this 21st December 2023
There he goes, finally a well deserved Oscar.
The editing is beautiful!
Thanks!
love nolan
incredible video
Amazing video
Thanks!
Tenet remains one of Nolan’s best movies, endlessly questioned by people who didn’t pay enough attention to it.
The Protagonist from the very first mission we see him in, is established that he will divert from the mission for the sake of saving people. He does succeed in the main objective in the Opera, but he also takes it upon himself to save the civilians in the crowd as well.
As soon as he returns from his coma, the first thing he asks is whether his team made it out. When he hears they didn’t, he cries.
From the get go we realize he will do whatever is necessary for his missions, but that he also cares for people and will deviate from his main objective to save lives.
Nolan doesn’t have an exposition problem. Audiences have simply proven themselves to require spoon feeding information, and Tenet’s unfair backlash is a prime example.
The relationship in Tenent doesn’t need much beyond “Mother wants to be with her child”. The protagonist is in a position to achieve his goals and actually help. She tells us he’s purposefully keeping him from her and damaging their relationship, so the distance we see as the audience makes sense because it imitates how the mother feels herself. As for Sator, we often have to react in the real world to others with knowing the full scope of their motivations. Like the other complaint it would feel out of place to have him monologue an explanation in full detail. People who are truly set on ending their life have few words left and we see this behavior. And to visibly show the stakes would feel cheap and preachy given the current political climate.
Many of the other claims are 100% valid imo. Tenet seemed to be an exercise in seeing how much the director could get away with in terms of conveying a narrative experience mostly through the experience.
It's bc the son in Tenet is Robert Pattinson
Great video!! But just wanted to know if I'm colourblind/an idiot, or if the colours of the graph at 3:55 makes no sense for anyone else too? Lol
Now you made me think I'm colour-blind with that timestamp...😶😶🌫
sad many hate Nolan especially the so called movie critic youtubers
The Greatest Director of All Time, albeit not perfect.
Serial plagiarism. That’s why.
Nah
Filmmaking isn’t about plagiarism, it’s about utilizing cinematic techniques and bending them, and to master them is what makes a filmmaker stand out
