    The Prestige is my #1. Every time I’ve watched it is a different experience. For example: the real “reveal” is Lord Caldlow, not the twins! Hugh Jackman’s character tricks the audience for the entire movie with his fake American accent.
    Angier is not Borden’s rival…it’s Caldlow v. Borden. Even you failed to mention this very important detail:-)
    This video even revealed a detail I’ve missed: Caldlow scratched out the name of the cloning machine in his diary. Which is written in beautiful maroon ink, something unavailable to a poor like Borden.

    Christopher Nolan is the director I've grown up with, the man who made me fall in love with cinema. He IS my favorite director ever.

    I'm not gonna try to convince you that The Prestige is an endlessly rewatchable film, but rather how I personally find it to be. I've seen the movie about five times now, and each and every time I found at least one (if not more) clue/hint to the final reveal that I somehow didn't notice before and that seems painfully obvious on rewatch. It's also one of my favorite films to watch with other people, because the twist seems obvious to me, but they're always oblivious to it. It's crazy how in your face the reveal is, and yet you still don't notice it. It's a movie that every time I rewatch it, I'm constantly reminded how masterful it truly is.

      Listen, the timeline that he followed to direct movies go to the top of the hairpin model.
      Your order of preference of his films is the bottom of the hairpin model. Now a true Nolan fan would take one from above, one from below until he reaches the U of the hairpin model.

      @yunggolem4687 Месяц назад

      Much better order. TDK is one of the few Nolan films that's actually rewatchable more than once or twice because the point of it isn't "plot complexity gimmick + grand setpieces". OFC much of this is attributable to Heath.
      All of Nolan's movies have that "grounded" Nolan feel which is what people were really craving when he came along, but his focus on that has diminished over time & most of the other stuff that seems to entertain Nolan (plot complexity, ooo-wow setpieces) doesn't have much value beyond the 2nd watch, while a well executed character, confidently vibey cinematography, & the setting/plot context to let them shine without distraction has almost infinite rewatch value and that's what TDK gives you.
      I'd move Memento up & Tenet down several slots, but everything else is about where I'd put it.

    I never understood these pretentious movie critics like yourselves. You think you are smarter than everyone. It annoys me when you with such confidence, as if were a fact, explain to me why I scene I like is actually bad😂 For example, it had never, ever occurred to me that Noland cannot write good female characters…I liked the video up until you started randomly inserting your opinions as facts as to why Tenet is bad. Sure, it’s a 7/10 movie at best, but not for the reasons you mentioned

    No1: James Woods would be an Oscar winner right now. He was cancelled by the inclusive Hollywood for supporting Donald Trump and had to be a silent producer on this movie.

    Even though I do feel a slight aggravation in me when someone tries to talk about the weaknesses of Christopher Nolan, I completely understand their argument and where they are coming from. I love all of his film, some of them I consider to be flawless, but of course I know there are problems with his repetition. This is actually why I have actually grown to being bitter with Martin Scorsese’s films. Because that guy makes great films, but a good amount of them have the same plot. So idk. Tell me how and why I’m wrong if you’re so inclined.

  • @Oak_Knight
    @Oak_Knight 2 месяца назад

    The Dark Knight Rises suffers from two main issues in my opinion, but does have some nice moments.
    The issues are that firstly, it feels like there needs to be a missing third film after The Dark Knight that shows this improvement in Gotham thanks to Batman's sacrifice and one in which Batman becomes the nightmare for criminals and then increasingly realises that he is no longer needed - possibly also incorporating the injury he is sporting in The Dark Knight Rises (an initial encounter with Bane?) That could then be used to progress neatly into the events in the final film.
    Secondly, the plot is garbage. It needed a serious rewrite to explain how the city descends into chaos that doesn't involve the entire police department being trapped underground for months and then later reappearing completely unchanged. It should also have left Bane as the central protagonist.
    The film really films like a contractual obligation rather than a passion project for him.

Not just the third act is too stupid, throughout the film all its strong points are destroyed by Cameron-level tear-jerking scenes, that makes most rational people think about what morons are all these characters, waiting for the slasher film's supernatural killer to extract Darwinian nemesis for the audience's catharsis 😂TLDR; Interstellar is a very stupid film, that 2/3rds in looks good and has some scientifically passable visualisations.

    Here's the deal. Spielberg has proven himself. If he makes a drama, I will see it. If he makes an action, war, comedy, Science Fiction movie I will watch it. There's a guarantee it's going to be good. You know he can do a great job with it.
    But... Tarantino is my favorite director, and my favorite writer. I don't want to see him do a superhero movie, and I don't want to see him do a science-fiction movie. You have a certain stylistic expectation that comes with him and you don't want him to break it. I know he likes comics and will stay true to them... but I don't want to see him make a film that will break the style I want from him. I would feel robbed.
    Nolan is Bay for people who think they are too smart for Bay. And I love some Bay movies and I love some Nolan movies.... neither of them should make anything that really needs you to think about it. Neither of them should do dialogue. Neither of them can really do a stylistic world that you appreciate. They aren't versatile like Spielberg, they don't have a defined stye like Tarantino. They are pretty limited in what they can do well and not limited because you want something specific from them, they are limited because they can't be versatile.

    "more smaller moments"? have they stopped teaching English grammar? quite acceptable and preferable to just say "smaller moments". quite a while ago, we were taught to use more or most to modify an adjective to a comparative or superlative form only when the adjective was polysyllabic. if the adjective was monosyllabic, we were taught to employ -er or -est. lazy writing/lazy thinking. and it's j.
