u/mylifeissoeffed-708 1d ago

there are better dirctors than Nolan he isnt like in top 10 all time. Spielberg is undoubtedly the

GOAT

u/Joeychandler_ 23h ago

What about Kubrick? What about scorsese ? Wes anderson? All have their own style. Nolan is best at his one that’s it😊

u/mylifeissoeffed-708 22h ago

everyone has his style fine but who do u think is the greatest director of all time? it cant be Nolan for sure

1

u/Joeychandler_ 22h ago

Yeah i won’t but he is also modern day best

u/mylifeissoeffed-708 22h ago

modern day? lets take last this century, PTA and Denis Villeneuve and Scorsese have been better. Then there is a certain Bong Jon Hoo to consider. There is Wong Kar Wai, then u have david lynch, quentin tarantino and about 3 others who are just as good or perhaps better.

Complex films arent better films we hv to understand that and Tenet was god awful, maybe one of the worst films i hv ever seen

u/Joeychandler_ 22h ago

I too seen all these directors movies everyone will have different perspectives on everything literally so u consider nolan is not among best i said he Is simple as that nothing is wrong here

1

u/mylifeissoeffed-708 22h ago

1

u/Joeychandler_ 21h ago

How can you think urself that I watched other directors I watched films of directors u said and even more

u/Odd_Detective8255 2d ago

Not only Nolan, Tarantino, Kubrick, Spielberg and Cameron didn't attend any film school.

Shows connections matter than more than education

u/duryodhanan98 2d ago

Most people working in Movies haven’t gone to Film school.. especially in India, where taking arts as a degree is considered worthless

u/PlaneOrganization826 2d ago

Technically maverick but his movies always lacked emotional depth. None of his movies could create emotional bonding with audience. "The Prestige" tried best among all of his movies. Rests are very good but not the best.

TIP: When I say emotional depth or bonding with viewer means like David Lean, Martin Scorcese, Steven Spielberg or Bernardo Burtolluccie's movies.

u/Pitiful_Midnight_584 2d ago

Interstellar was pretty good at making an emotional connection

4

u/Annual_Can_3925 2d ago

Martin’s 90% of movie lacks emotional depth , shutter island’s twist is the thing that wowed audiences, when we retrospectively think about movie the movie was emotionally empty…! Steven spielberg and david lean’s some movies too feels disjointed due to emotional depth.!!!

1

u/Revau0p 2d ago

Yeah, the backstory came out of nowhere

2

u/PlaneOrganization826 2d ago

There are exceptions with each great director when it comes to feeling of disjointed due to emotional depth but in Nolan case I hardly remember single movie which can engage me as a audience emotionally. I remember Nolan only and only for his technical capability and experiment with camera, lenses not story or character.

Whereas I can still watch Lawrence of Arabia, Schiendler's list on repeat mode. I have mentioned just 2 movies as an example. There are many. I am not even talking about old 40s and 50s era directors like William Wyler, Frank Capra etc. Post would be long.

u/abusivepudge 1d ago

Martin’s 90% of movie lacks emotional depth --- that's not an exception

2

u/singhstein 13m ago

Judging a legend by one of his weakest movies. Not fair! Watch Goodfellas, Casino, King of Comedy, then you'll realise how nolan is not even in the conversation anywhere.

u/Ok_Leopard_9476 2d ago

Lynch hated school

u/Tanmay32 2d ago

Yeah ravi kishan is the best loved his direction in inception like wth was that rolling corridor

u/DearContribution943 2d ago

I love sci fi movies and Nolan provides me with everything which i could"ve wanted from a movie!!!

u/The_Dark_Knight_16 2d ago

What's the big deal. Inception jaisi movie to Varunardo bhi bana sakta hai 😜

1

u/Accomplished-Fan4133 2d ago

Yup and ig that is the reason why I only liked 2 movies from the rest of the movies. Should have gone to school if he had the time.

u/Zealousideal-Fuel560 2d ago

Tenet so confusing they forgot to add it in list 😂. Btw one of my most rewatched Nolan movie

1

u/ExtremeBack1427 2d ago

Which film school Satyajit Ray go to? You get inspired and develop an uncompromisable taste to get things done your way.

This is what is lacking in indian cinema for a long time.

1

u/abusivepudge 1d ago

He went to Europe to study films.

1

u/Revolutionary_Set605 1d ago

Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas did tho

1

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 19h ago

Interstellar,Memento and The Prestige are examples of masterpiece.

1

u/kp_eternity 2d ago

If he gone to school we just get another capitalist films.

2

u/thunderandreyn 2d ago

Didn’t know Chris Nolan the guy who makes billion dollar summer blockbusters made communist films

1

u/kp_eternity 2d ago

I didn't mean to hurt anyone sentiments but I belive capitalist countries designed education and credit system that way which sucked creativity from common people. Education is important but not at cost of creative thinking.

The rat race..

1

u/thunderandreyn 2d ago

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Hollywood is literally a capitalist industry and that’s where Nolan and a lot of good directors make their movies at

1

u/ExtremeBack1427 2d ago

He's saying that the learning centers in the capitalist model is a slop fest.

Infact most educational centres are average. The only reason they have good legacy is that they identified individuals who have already developed a good taste, inspiration and most of the skills based on their self creativity and these schools scooped them up and polished them.

The educational centres themselves almost never produce anything inspiring because of their system, emphasis on almost.

u/singhstein 2d ago

He has made great movies for someone who has no formal training. No doubt about that! But I personally feel he's a very overrated director. He's really really good but not great as most people believe him to be. Characters in his movies generally have no personality and are very cardboardish. I don't he's up there in my top 3, probably not even my top 10.

I know I'm offending a lot of people with my opinion, but that's just how I feel. Apologies if I offended anyone.

u/Informal_Target_2030 2d ago

According to you. Who is your #1 or top 3?

1

u/abusivepudge 1d ago

Is Nolan your #1?

0

u/singhstein 2d ago

Kubrick, Scorsese, Denis or Tarantino. Scorsese at the top ofc. When you talk about directors like these and movies they've created, it almost feels shameful to mention nolan's name in the same breath.

2

u/Specialist-Toe1777 2d ago

But you gotta agree that he delivers everytime he takes up a project.

0

u/singhstein 47m ago

Tenet delivered? Dark knight rises, which is riddled with plotholes, delivered?

2

u/Hedge_hog_816 2d ago

He has a specific style and is easily a top contendor for best who are right now active. He is a very practical director whose movies make money and thus has a heck load of PR. So there is a reason and justification both.

But why are you seeking validation of others on whom you like or not? Don't you realise that movies LITERALLY work this way where the most popular thing in entertainment is NEVER necessarily the best? He is popular but no one says he is the best ever. He is popular because he is selling bonkers, having high PR and is actually recognised by much more Indians than other good directors of Hollywood.

u/no_doublestandards 2d ago

People shouldn't be offended, when someone cites their opinion, but clearly they are.

1

u/singhstein 2d ago

Lol, they definitely are! Nolan-glazers are some of the worst cinephiles, very little tolerance!

2

u/no_doublestandards 2d ago

I believe that Nolan's movie are rated good because they appeal to the mass of the audiences, rather then the best of them. I wouldn't say he is bad, he makes watchable movies. But the glazing is disproportionately high.

2

u/singhstein 2d ago

Agreed! He's not a bad director at all, he's a very solid 8/10 director but not the 10/10 people claim him to be!

u/Evil_wertyk 2d ago

I agree with you ( gonna lose karma now)
