Why does Cinemaphile hates him so much?
He doesnt even use cgi in his movies,they look really good and all of them are very intresting to watch. Never have i gotten bored while watching his movies.
>b-but reddit likes him
Is this your only reason for hating him?
separate the art from the artists. people love his shit literally because "MUH NOLAN". hes put out some great pieces but hes not perfect either.
people mainly hate his fanboys and their dickriding logic.
>Why does Cinemaphile hates him so much?
only because he got popular. But they still can't stop talking about him lol
he doesn't get shit for ripping off other works (paprika for inception, heat for the dark knight) whereas every other directors will get dragged for the same shit
his sound mixing is awful, dialogue is literally inaudible in many of his films
gets credit as a great action director even tho he can't direct a fight to save his life
Samegayging
Because he's incredibly sloppy. He's supposed to be one of the, if not the most visually appealing directors around.
His soundmixing is shit, he can't shoot a scene with multiple people in it to save his life. He can't shoot action and his scripts are always full of holes.
A generational director. An auteur. You go watch a movie because it's Nolan, not because of the story or the actors. So it's only normal he should be held to higher standards. And he's failed every single time.
>He's supposed to be one of the, if not the most visually appealing directors around.
Lol by whom? His movies are as visually attractive as a plain rock, even worse than those of Penis Villeneuve, imo.
Because of I-Max I guess. And handmade explosions and sets. I like Villeneuve though, don't piss on him.
>His movies are as visually attractive as a plain rock
I like Inception's crisp corporate aesthetic
Brutalism
I'm always open to being proven wrong: I loved 'Insomnia' and 'The Prestige' was cool. I don't care about what kind of lens or time frickery he uses.
>Unfortunately, Christopher Nolan seems to be one of the few filmmakers who doesn't gain in staging finesse with experience but loses it.
Last good moobie was inception
>t.got filtered by interstellar
I forgot about that one, that was pretty good but not good
He's a glorified hack. He sucks at everything he does, particularly writing dialogue and directing action sequences. I would give his technical incompetence a pass if his films were interesting, but they are all conceptually and visually bland. It also doesn't help that he's a pseudointellectual moron.
Because Cinemaphile couldn't borrow his imax lenses.
He's the best blockbuster filmmaker without any real competition. I don't love all his films but I love what he brings to the table. Also appreciate his dedication to actual film. Interstellar on IMAX 15/70 is amazing and using his position to comission a re-issue of the original version of 2001 is something to truly be appreciated by cinema fans.

The same Nolan who enjoys Fast and the Furious?
that doesn't make everything else he does less pretentious kek
I rode for two hours to watch Interstellar. I'm never watching a Nolan film ever again.
Why?
TDKR was garbage as it is. Interstellar was the last straw.
I'm afraid I would have to strongly disagree. Interstellar was fantastic.
TDKR was just kind of whatever but so was TDK. Was exactly what I expected it to be.
For me, it was 'Dunkirk'. Fricking empty beaches and Tom Hardy in sum dumb dogfight and that incessant droning soundtrack. I watched it with a bunch of friends in the theater. Total dud.
>reddit likes him
Reddit actually disdains him, for the same reason Cinemaphile newbies do: midwit defense mechanism. They legitimately feel threatened by Nolan movies, they feel as if Nolan is trying to portray himself as being smarter than they are. This triggers a defense reaction: they need to make it very clear that Nolan hasn't gotten one over them, and that they are above him, and thus try to defend their egos.
I've never felt like Nolan was very pretentious. Dude seems to be very aware of the type of movie he makes and why he wants to make them. I appreciate that he's doing his own thing and not trying to emulate any other "auteur" filmmakers even if he personally admires them. Pretty excited to see what he does with a film subject like Oppenheimer since it appears outside of his usual comfort zone.
god damn that is the most kino cast. add leo into it and u get something special
Was Oppenheimer man in Inception???
Thought it'd say INCEL
Dunkirk failed in my opinion because of his refusal to use CGI.
Showing the Dunkirk evacuation as approximately 1000 guys hanging out on a beach on a cloudy day was sorta disappointing. That film could have been SO much better. The only scenes I enjoyed were the air combat scenes, and even those were kinda iffy. That Spitfire would have been out of ammo, and there is no way he could have made that little gliding attack against the Stuka. Though that was all forgivable. I wish they had made them Hurricanes though, Hurricanes deserve more screen time in film. Plus some tracers would have been nice. And a proper looking 109 (I hate the Spanish 109's, their noses look all wonky) would have been awesome. Those are nitpicks I guess. The sound of the Stuka's attacking was very impressive in theater though, I will give him that.
Overall, it was just a shame, it could have been SO much better had he just fricking done a little CGI for the wide shot scenes of the beach, give us some equipment and stuff laying around, it just didn't seem nearly as disastrous as it really was.
He stopped making kino and now makes shit like Tenet and Oppenjewer

wow how original, you like the older movies and hate the newer ones. You must be a real cinephile
not my fault he got worse
The 5 minute Dunkirk scene in Atonement mogs Nolan's Dunkirk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSJf2xPXLwk
What's most infuriating about him is how a large audience, mostly pajeets have been convinced he's some revolutionary filmmaker.
>Why does Cinemaphile hates him so much?
False question, pointless thread. Nolan "haters" and edgelords are shrill types on the fringe
I don't hate him. He makes good movies. But I wish he'd be more bold and make movies with deeper characters and ideas again instead of relying as much on spectacle.
Creatively, he owes his entire career to Michael Mann, he’s an imitator and a lazy, soulless one at that and despite what many have said he’s brought nothing innovative to the table. His Memento shtick with time is the one good thing he’s done and it’s purely artificial. The movie itself is a mid thriller. The Dark Knight was saved in editing. His last few movies Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet are embarrassingly lazy pictures with a lot of money behind them. You’ll come to realize that the guy is a lazy mediocre filmmaker surrounded by many talented people: production designers, the first cinematographer he collaborated with, editors, actors, etc.
Just like Snyder and Tim Burton before him
He's put together some great individual set pieces but his writing is consistently bad. Completely the wrong choice for a slow biopic that has very little action.
Tenet is the worst big-budget film since Attack of the Clones
>Tenet is the worst big-budget film since Attack of the Clones
Well you need to look it like a sequel to inception. Same subtext of the subconscious
Tenet is the most kino action movie since Heat
Quads of truth
Memes
The Prestige is the only good one.
I love his movies and I hate him for it. Nolan is basically just talented Snyder.
His movies of the past 20 years are incredibly stupid, but I love them.
The more times I watch each of them, the stupidier they gets, and yet I will rewatch them when they are on.
Interstellar is a crime against humanity and my head is its prison cell.

>Interstellar is a crime against humanity and my head is its prison cell
Love it
>over 15 years and a new Nolan release can STILL get Cinemaphile moving
He's /ourguy/ no matter how people here try to deny it. No other individual director gets this board moving like he does.
>He's /ourguy/ no matter how people here try to deny it. No other individual director gets this board moving like he does.
This, I cannot wait for Schoppenhauer - character study by a director who named his last main hero the Protagonist, with a heavy dialog you cannot fricking hear at all.
Why was this scene so fricking weird? It's so strange how so much effort went into the practical stunts and shooting the movie on film and imax and hiring good actors and then you get this awkward scene.
>Why was this scene so fricking weird?
So you don't really know? Because Nolan refused to do the fricking sound mixing, so the actors couldn't hear shit over the plane engines, so they had to fire off the lines with no guidance. Even worse, you couldn't even see Bane's mouth moving, so they didn't even know where one line stops and other begin.
Because Nolan shoots fast & doesn't storyboard
>As his DP Wally Pfister remarks, “What I do is not complicated.” Comparing their production method to documentary filming, he adds: “A lot of the spirit of it is: How fast can we shoot this?”
Inception (and to a lesser degree, Tenet) become much richer when you understand the emotional subtext behind them.
what's sophisticated about TENET?
I didn't like him until yesterday when i saw his comments about "story" in films, and then i realised, he is 100% correct.
I will forever be a Nolan fan just because of his dedication to film. I don't care how shitty his movies might be just because they are shot on film they are worth the watch.
The main problem is the writing. It's so bad it is like having a brain hemorrhage when you watch his crap
Popular and mainstream. That's literally it. If he was less known, this board would be sucking his dick all day.
He is a hack, memento is the only good one
>following
>memento
Those are good movies. Insomnia and The Prestige are decent. Rest of his movies suck balls.
Why do you care about him? Cause he's popular.
You can't call a spade a spade and admit Tenet was phoned-in dogshit. Dark Knight Rises was dogshit. Inception and Dark Knight were OK but overrated.
He's a hack, he creates only tricks(le smart gibberish) for midwits. Tenet was a movie where this trick didn't work well but it perfectly showed how he works.
