Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

I'm with you guys, Memento is a really good film. His most intelligent and well-thought out film, with the best characterization as well. The twists and narrative turns feel earned, where in movies...

It really isn't hard to distinguish a Nolan film, agree there. If the colors are muted and bland, there's a dead wife, and the dialogue is awful then it can't be anyone else but Nolan.

I have nothing but respect for you Daniel, but I think that article is 100% accurate. Every single one of those points are completely valid and apply towards pretty much all of his films. I think the...

All of his films with the exception of Interstellar are just dark blues,browns, and greys, no usage of color. He never does anything particularly impressive with the camera like dolly zooms or...

Those films you mentioned are actually great,great films. I think labeling them popcorn films is undermining them a bit. I don't think those are the type of films Nolans going for, in all honesty I...

Bingo bro. Nolan really spoonfeeds the audience, has terrible editing, banal cinematography, thinly written and underdeveloped characters, contrived "muh dead wife" subplots,etc.
