Mediocre White Man threw a tantrum and got rewarded with a new opportunity. Groundbreaking.

god this movie sounds boring, I'm so fucking sick of war movies. I watched 1917 because it was him but I'm not sold on this. Even in the unlikely case that this movie pushes for peace, it still feels just terrible.

That said his pettiness with leaving WB after decades pleases me.

1917 was Mendes lol do you mean Dunkirk? 1917 was the better film tbh

[melancolour]

lmao yes I did

I said I don't like war movies, and I watched both of those, and they were stupid and I didn't care for them!! I had thought Nolan had done another WWII movie and then I thought he did 1917 and was like "well that's not wwi". Anyway thanks for the correction, I should just give up on war movies lol.

1917 was sooo much better than Dunkirk imo

I just don’t get the appeal of his films. Same with Tarantino. I’m not their target audience.

[thisjoanissima]

I feel the same. Not for me.

Some of them are great concept movies executed well, especially Memento & Inception. Generally his appeal boils down to he does original movies, rather than remaking something, which is very much the same thing as Tarantino. (Both obviously have their inspiration, but they're not making movie franchises except batman)

[alterector]

He's the movie version of "great gowns, beautiful gowns", like, his ideas are good on paper, but the writing is not that great, and some of the concepts are unnecessary convoluted.
Like tenet on paper sounds awesome, yet, when I read more about how he went about and the reviews, I don't even feel like watching the movie, sounds like a mess that's too complicated for no reason.

"Nolan wrote the script"

Keep it.

[lastinthebox]

He peaked with Inception, imo.

Although I really liked Dunkirk, and I HATE war films, for the most part.

[alterector]

I love all his movies up to Interstellar, yet I didn't watch Dunkirk, cause like you, I have zero interest in war, western or mafia movies.

[syvlie0o0]

lol Interstellar is one of my favorite movies tbh

[melancolour]

agreeeeed I love it so much

I had just watched Ken Burn's "Dustbowl" series when I saw it so it was even more epic
