black people raised by white parents are the absolute weirdest
>>
>Dunkirk has been made without wartime sympathy. That’s why the Churchill speech comes off as unconvincing and sappy. Nolan’s detached style mocks the populism that relates to average-grunt, working-joe service; it continues the attitude of Nineties indie filmmakers who chose cynicism over sentiment, anti-Western subversion over jingoism.

White is not impressed

BASED black men

>>85253643
So he waits until there is a condenses on a movie then does a review with the opposite opinion?
>>
>>85253703
His parents are black you fucking retard
>>
>>85253736
No not really. His reviews always have more in them than your typical "lol I didn't understand any of the dialogue but I loved it anyways XD" Reddit Tomatoes cancer.
>>
>>85253753
Just like yours

>>85253802
Yeah his latest review are shit since he doesn't even mention Obama
>>
>turns it into an opportunity to say something he thinks about modern society within the first fucking paragraph
I'm getting pretty sick of this desu
>>
>>85253643
Well, this review is exactly what I expected from Armond. Every single time he lazily accuses Nolan of being a nihilist even though his films are very clearly about hope.
>>
>>85253944
Should learn from the cool kids and put it in the title.

>What Dunkirk can teach us about living under Trump

I haven't seen the movie. How true is this for Dunkirk?

Nolan BTFO finally

White likes Trump

It isn't, Mark Rylance's character is very patriotic and Tom Hardy's character is a savior who sacrifices himself for the greater good.

>condenses

you mean consensus you retard?
>>
>>85254200
So Almond is just being a dumb nigger?
>>
>>85253802

his reviews are well written but he still just is a contrarian 90% of the time. if dunkirk had a 25% score on rotten tomatoes you all know he'd be praising it.
>>
>>85254242
Yeah, he accuses every Nolan film of being nihilistic.
>>
>>85254287
>Yeah, he accuses every Nolan film of being nihilistic.

Well they are. Nolan is super-cynical and nihilist, but most people don't notice because they agree with him.

Like, remember Dark Knight?
>>
Here's a review by an actual critic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX1VLME36Xg
>>
>>85254876
Remember The Dark Knight Rises? That film was all about hope. Batman shows the world he's a hero and becomes a symbol of hope, Bruce Wayne gets the happy ending he always deserved, and Robin takes up the Batman mantle.
>>
>>85254287

But at least they always have a wicked sense of humour.
>>
>>85254876
like, remember when that big nigger prisoner didnt want to bomb the upright citizen ship and vice versa?
his opinions aint shit.
>>
>>85254876
How the hell can you misinterpret TDK this badly? With the boat scenes Nolan was practically shouting at the audience "THERE'S GOOD IN PEOPLE! THE JOKER IS WRONG!" The ending of TDK is dark but in TDKR everything works out.

Just got back from Valerian. Not bad, not great. Similar to the fifth element with weird looking aliens and even weirder looking eurotrash models-cum-actors.
>>
>>85253643
>It’s possible that Nolan, having created an audience of Millennial pessimists, is uninterested in the fellow feeling that Ang Lee made so intimate and that Clint Eastwood’s Sully and Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge made affecting as well as spectacular. Nolan misuses the big screen the same way Paul Thomas Anderson did in The Master — as a fanboy selling tool but not for aesthetic exploration.

Dropped.

they can't even get the year right, Pearl Harbor was released in 2001 not 1999

So, the best sci-fi movie of the current decade.

I'm sure the movie is fine, it's fucking Nolan

Nolan confirmed wack
Only the most diehard lobotomized darkshite fangirls will deny this

The end of the film is full of patriotic celebration, he's taking a single shot and ignoring everything else.

Did you even read his fucking review?

"You either die a hero, or live to see yourself become the villain."

That's the most cynical, nihilistic statement ever put in a superhero movie.
>>
>Nolan misuses the big screen the same way Paul Thomas Anderson did in The Master — as a fanboy selling tool but not for aesthetic exploration.

why do people take this retard seriously? he used to be funny now he's just ridiculous

A single line. You're completely ignoring all of the themes of hope because of a single fucking line.
>>
>>85253643
>Nolan exploits technology for effect, not to enrich history. Unlike Ang Lee’s very fine Iraq War drama, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, which used 3-D to explore the depths of brotherhood and the war’s emotional complexities, Nolan’s movie flaunts empty violence.

This is a British film about British soldiers during an event in British history. Is this dumb fuck honestly expecting them to whoop and holler at every little thing like fucking Americans?

>>85256666
Yes, Armond wanted schmaltzy patriotism. Nolan's film is patriotic but it's very somber and avoids all of the cliches that Armond wanted so Armond hates it and thinks it's nihilistic.
>>
>>85256445
hahaha pta fanbois on suicide watch
>>
Armond is an interesting writer and can be thought provoking but he wants every film to be a clearly defined morality play that panders to his beliefs. Dunkirk isn't nihilistic at all, it just avoids the cheap sentimentalism that most war films are full of.
>>
>>85256438
It is about the danger of power. Superhero should be aware of that and trust society, not only some individuals.
>>
>>85256769

let's be honest even if the film was patriotic as fuck with flags waving every two minutes and parades and kids saluting armond would find another reason to hate it because it's gotten universal acclaim.
>>
>>85255104
Not to mention the bad guys were OWS inserts, something that was noted by many at the time.
>>
>>85254242
No, he's just being radically contrarian which is why /tv/ likes him.
>>
>>85257266
talk to us about it anon. which one of his marvel reviews hurt your feelings?
