He's a well liked, successful filmmaker with an unique brand, that's why people talk about his films. That's also why there are still regular threads about The Neon Demon even though it was released a year ago, was made for 7 million, grossed only 3 million and got assraped by the critics - auteur directors matter.

>>84917654
He's saying it has a "classic feel" like an old war movie you'd find on Tuner Classic Movies (A channel that basically runs older movies 24/7)

But given Nolan's track record I expect the writing, the action and the editing to be just as garbage as always and extremely watered-down and impact-less violence. So normal folk will probably suck its dick like that mediocrity that was Interstellar.

Watch any of his interviews during the production of the Dark Knight trilogy and also his interviews on Tree of Life and Side by Side. The man thinks he's the new Lang and insists Malick's aesthetic influence on him and how his narratives have developed while still being an entirely plot-driven director with no real aesthetic (unless you count switching from widescreen to imax periodically an aesthetic) and generally being an uninteresting middlebrow filmmaker

But because he made a consumable inoffensive capeshit saga he gets praise

Yes TDKR is not completely bad.
It has poor writing and close combat choreography, but the set pieces are still impressive, the production design also, cinematography, soundtrack, costume design, sound design all pretty decent.
I'd say realistically a 6/10.

The person has to actually be a person and not just some other anonymous casualty to inspire empathy
Why do you think no one gives a shit about the thousands of faceless enemy goons that get slaughtered in mainstream action movies? Because they're anonymous, they're not humanized.

Look at Peckinpah, he got a huge reaction from people by showing that when you shoot someone they do indeed bleed and suffer. Yet with Nolan's track record of bloodless distant violence, I see no possibility of this movie being impactful at all except to pseuds and people who've never seen good movies.

>>84916167
BRAVO NOLAN

>>84918622
>Without any of the sense of framing
Please post a single badly framed shot from any Nolan movie.
Are you implying that Hoytema or Pfister can't frame or compose a shot?

>>84918622
>The person has to actually be a person and not just some other anonymous casualty to inspire empathy

You're expecting the movie to go from one character to another in rapid succession. I'm sure that's not the case. I'm sure the film will show the same people over and over, some of them will die, some of them will live.

>Nolan's track record of bloodless distant violence

Now there's a decent argument. I agree that violence was lackluster, too clinical in Nolan's Batman films. But I'll give you Inception as a counter example. There was a lot of detail and tension to some of the fights in that. I don't think any movie Nolan has made really called for the kind of (realistic) violence you're talking about. Batman is a cartoon at the end of the day.

>>84918776
Even a good cinematographer is wasted if the director doesn't know how to compose a shot.

All of Nolan's movies, outside of the big special effect setpieces, look like television sets. With a complete disregard for dramatic lighting, shot in a completely flat or overhead angle, and absolutely no coordination in color aside from "Make it steel blue". Here's a movie with an actually competent visual director. That was shot on digital. So double-fuck Nolan for insisting that just shooting on film makes his movies look better. It doesn't, because he's an inept aesthete.
>>84918792
Even the violence in Inception is completely without impact or grit to it. Same with his Insomnia remake. Memento is the only thing that came close to being at all gritty, but that was mostly because of the fucked up situation moreso than the depiction of violence. His movies at their best have sort of adventure-film tier violence, and at their worst absolutely do not care about it.

>>84918856
>Dunkirk is the most insipid attempt at making war somber since the melodramatic soap opera of Saving Private Ryan. Director Christopher Nolan tries, and fails, to invoke filmmaking practices of Wolfgang Peterson and the result is nothing more than the film version of a monkey miming the actions of a street performer.

>>84919377
I think, if you are watching the new Twin Peaks, one of the most incredible parts of the show, that I believe is overlooked is the absolute command David Lynch has over lighting. It's the kind of thing you really don't see in television and even contemporary film anymore.

It's almost sad how the art of being good at lighting is a scene is a dying art.

>>84919428
He's attempting to describe an emotion that doesn't have an easily identifiable name. I understand what he's getting at

>>84919460
David Lynch is great because he's still a stylist instead of these talentless (realism) directors. But even directors who focus on realism can still be good Dennis Villenueve

>>84919428
He means the movie is like Das Boot.

Das Boot is that movie you find on TCM at 2 in the morning. Filmmaking that isn't afraid to just show soldiers/people doing what they do without need for dialogue/montage/soundtrack

I think you're wrong and I think Nolan gets a really bad rap. If you analyze his movies that take place in fictional settings, he takes care to put small details and THOUGHT into his filmmaking that places him above many of his contemporary peers.

Considering Nolan a shit director is intellectually dishonest and frankly an opinion of a snob who thinks watching good films is more important than understanding them.

In Inception in-between the lines he fleshes out a near-future world where corporate cartels run the world and have teams of operators that handle corporate espionage

Interstellar he takes care to show how people live, how they eat, what they fear in a dying planet where all plant life is dying.

Nolan isn't a genius by any means and his work aren't masterpieces but when compared to most of his peers he seems to actually give a shit about the movies he makes. He actually thinks about them.

>>84918400
It's a bit painful

>>84919527
actually, no, that's a terrible equivalency and only goes to show that you don't understand what he's getting at. He's more referring to the golden age of war movies that range from the late 50's to the late 70's, such as, The Bridge on the River Kwai, A Bridge Too Far, Green Berets, Patton. Films that focused not on the violence or the grim reality of war but instead on the commradery, bravada and heroics, and the people and personalities that existed within the theater of war.

>>84920063
You don't know that either because its a shit analogy

>>84920124
its not though, its pretty spot on. If you've had TCM, a normalized childhood, and a rudimentary understanding of film history you'd perfectly understand, much like the majority of the posters in this thread.

>>84919840
So you've given two examples of pretty surface-level worldbuilding. Is that at all supposed to impress?

>>84920257
He does all of that without overwrought exposition so he does better work than 99% of the business.

Calling him a 'tv director' is bullshit and you're a faggot.

>>84920063
So he means it's a proper remake of Dunkirk?

>>84917176
If you're not able to make a bigger budget movie, it means producer don't trust your ability to make a successful movie.

>>84920505
probably not in the tradition feel but most likely it'll encapsulate the same feelings and temperament. From what I've heard the film tells three different stories on the same front and intercuts them.

You are so, so effing right dude. It's a shame people actually think Nolan has such a great visual sense, when really much of it comes from his use of IMAX 70mm cameras, and not the actual use of framing, color, etc themself. Just look at the opening TDKR plane scene, watch it in 1080p and you'll notice as a whole it has a very nice, "milky" quality to it, but when you actually pause it and look at individual frames, it's like literal garbage, absolutely ugly and messy in every way. The IMAX 70mm camera's are the crutch he leans upon to convince audiences that his movies are visually striking, when they really aren't. In most cases, atleast The Prestige was shot well, with the really sunny interiors. Your mention of his "flat lighting" is spot-on. Spielberg could create the sense of "cinematic grandness" without the need for expensive 70mm cameras, instead making it come from the strength of his own vision. Nolan can't seem to do that, and has to resort to his little bag of gimmicks instead.

Pretentious idiot who doesn't care about the plotholes in his films cause he thinks his audience is too stupid to notice. In his defense, his fanboys do rant on about how he makes smart films. His fanboys also hate actually smart films and call them boring.
He's essentially a hipster Michael Bay. He takes oscar-b8 scripts and replaces the character development with explosions, adds a non-sensical twist and fills the dialogue with ham-fisted exposition to try and cover up all the story's weaknesses. He either never learnt the phrase "show, don't tell", or else he's so far up his own ass that he decided that it was a stupid rule and he knew better.

But he literally has characters delivering exposition about those exact examples you brought up in those movies. It's not in any way subtle. If he did it through purely visual sense, you could call it subtle. But when the character all but turns to the screen and looks at the audience while delivering a description of what's happening and how their world works, that's not "subtle". That's ham-fisted exposition, and it's present in every one of his movies because he and his brother cannot write dialogue and he's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But without any of the weight.
