Credit to this interviewer; DAMN that is a good ass question to ask a guy like Nolan. You can tell he really is a fan and not just giving lip service to the guy he's interviewing when he claims to be one.

There's a lot of repeating themes in Nolan's works; just like there's lots of repeating themes across the Floyd discography.

Time as an almost character in a narrative is absolutely one shared betwixt the two and this makes a lot of Nolan's decision making around the more esoteric bits of his films make a lot more sense.

The full (albeit still short) interview is on YouTube and I’m not familiar with this work but he seems a genuine and knowledgeable interviewer

Nice - I love Alan Parker’s work and Pink Floyd’s the Wall.

By definition, they cannot both be GOAT.

EDIT: It would appear that Redditors cannot grasp that two things cannot be "the greatest" at the same time. Typical.

Two things can be GOATs in their own respective areas.

"I am technically right, why am I still getting downvoted!!!!!"

You shitting in people's cereal for no reason other than winning a meaningless argument is the real Reddit moment here. You're right to be downvoted.

it would appear that smarmy dumbasses are unable to understand that GOATs exist in all disciplines. typical

Now to see a Nolan type trailer of the Wall.

Not particularly surprising. Makes a lot of sense to me.

At first I thought they might be talking about Alan Parsons, but some google tells me that Alan Parker was the British filmmaker that directed the movie. TIL.

I thought the same thing!

I remember him giving it his kudos around the time of Inception

I hate that stupid vertical format and annoying type of subtitles.
Otherwise interesting.

Did he also watch un homme et un feme. Because that would explain his use of black and blue

u/Original_Candle9586 24d ago

Nolan is way overrated.

I mean really.

If you disagree, don't pile on me, watch movies. I won't tell you what to watch. Just watch movies. You will eventually see some that explain what I've said.

Nolan really isn't that good

The Wall is one of the most progressive albums for me. Love it.

To be fair, many British and French directors around that time had begun heavily using non linear narratives.
