Love Dunkirk, though I think it could've reached true classic status without Chris's usual time tampering. I know it's his modus operandi but it feels needlessly complex for a story that could have been told more elegantly. And yes, I know there's the argument his relentless cross-cutting lends itself to the chaos of that evacuation, which is true enough. I just think it's so pervasive that it ultimately hinders the movie.
dunkirk is not a movie i'd probably ever want to rewatch. i have rewatched oppenheimer several times over the last few years.
I’m more down on Dunkirk than most here. Specifically remember the time structure throwing me off, not in being confused (I’m down to ride a tone and not overthink specifics), but because my ability to feel the tension and release was thrown off. Which, was likely intentional! Idk, I’ve accepted it’s just not my kinda movie, personally. Speaking of movies I bounced off of in theaters. I’m really considering revisiting Interstellar, since I’m riding high on Anne Hathaway at the moment. Wonder if the aspects I couldn’t click with at the time would actually hit well with my current tastes.
I gotta say I really don't understand the vitriol for Interstellar, but art is subjective, yadda yadda
I do want to give it a rewatch but it didn’t work for me at all other than the bookcase scene when I saw it
still more than a little upset my 70mm imax interstellar showing i drove 3 hours for a couple of years ago malfunctioned :(
I don't think I've enjoyed a Nolan movie from a substantive point ever. Oppenheimer probably the worst offender of that. But it did have some good visuals and performances at least.
he just reminds me a lot of old school sci-fi writers where it's more about the ideas than anything else, so I always go into his films with that in mind. obviously exceptions to this but yeah
