Da trufe. 

Because of the name he's made for himself, particularly with the Batman trilogy, it's doubtful he'll abandon directing films that appeal to the masses instead of attempting to top Memento.

you act like that's the worse thing

What B said.  But it's not like I'm mad about it Nolan is Nolan.

 

Imo I honestly believe Memento was topped by Inception.  Memento seemed too one dimensional of a storyline without a huge payoff in the end with Inception.  I'll admit editing was beautiful but the action sequences felt amateur.  While starting a film at the end to the beginning was audacious, it left me a little cold by the end when finally realizing Guy Pearce's character is still unsure what happened and doesn't even care.

 

^So that's why I think Nolan going into big blockbuster movies is a great move

 

Even people I know who hated Inception say visually it was impressive. Surprised to see someone call it trash.

 

Fuck y'all, Nolan hasn't made a single bad movie yet. His worst movie is like a 7/10, I fail to see how people say he isn't good. Wut evz

TDK > Memento though

And I dont get why QT and PTA are better directors because they make movies with a risker style. Thats definitely not the reason why I think they are better directors. Nolan is definitely in their group of visionary filmmakers though.

 

the prestige

thats why

 

Low key agree

 

At the end of the day it's all opinion. For me, Quentin Tarantino just doesn't hit the spit. I see why people would like his films, but I don't personally like him. Is he over rated? No, I just don't like his movies that much. Clearly others do. Is Nolan overrated? No, you just don't like his movies as much as others do.

 

i don't like his movies, i'm more into tarantino and wes anderson

 

All of Nolan's films are amazing.  He is like the Kanye of the film industry relating to quality and success.  QT is another one.

 

This isn't THAT hard to understand.

He makes blockbuster movies that aren't awful. Compare his film's to Michael Bay - and it's just night and day. You can look at a director like PTA, Wes Anderson etc. And while their movies are fantastic, and infinitely better than the majority of filmmakers out there right now, the majority of people that watch movies will I. Not see those movies in the first place. II. If they see them, not really care for their non-conventional style.

This is like asking why formulaic and predictable things are popular and sell the most. Because people don't like change, they want comfort, accessibility, and for things to go down smoothly.

Nolan makes those kind of films, but brings more quality to them then they are usually afforded (Mostly in his plots - which most blockbusters lack). The problem is, fans of Nolan then want badly for Nolan to be seen as a visionary artist, that makes high art. And the reality is, often his films are still shlock. They are higher quality shlock. But still shlock.

You couldn't have said this any better my friend.

 

I agree

Not feeling that comparison

This. Its based on your art/film preference

 

at least some of his movies are original and thought provoking

especially when compared to the majority of the crap released these days

 

OP is gutter trash.

 

Memento
Prestige
Batman Trilogy
All awesome

Insomnia was trash.

THat's pretty much what I've got for you right now.

Insomnia is clearly his weakest film, but calling it trash is too far. Very solid movie (from what I can remember).

I think Nolan is one of those few directors that will never make a bad movie. Even if you dislike a movie by him (for the plot or whatever), you can still appreciate the quality behind it.

 

i think you deserve my permission to die.

I personally loved insomnia, it gets alotta hate.

I've never not liked a Nolan film.

Bring on interstellar (if that's what it's called)

 

chris nolan the goat.
