Possibilities are endless rn. Personally I’d love to see him tackle a father/child dynamic again. Watched Interstellar for the zillionth time & nearly shed a few tears. Or a movie that centers around a bromance, where he really shines.

But anything goes tbh.

It might happen now. He's said for years he'd love to do horror and I think Oppenheimer contains his most straight horror sequence yet. He could probably get any concept or script greenlit right now for any sum of money, so he may try to make the most ambitious horror film ever.

Maybe this weekend I will finally watch it.

Rewatched before the Oscars. Great ensemble on the project, great editing, great sound, great FX. Last hour still trash. Character study still mid.

Last hour is the best hour

RDJ and the wife are the worst characters.

This the spider man meme

Both winning for their takes on nuclear holocaust

L

anyone who says the last hour is "bad" didn't understand the movie

No understood it well trial serves its purpose and often keeps it from hero worship it’s just my least favorite act

What took so long ?

I care about the characters in regard to their capacity to collaborate to a common end. Nolan knows bureaucracy and group project management. The film works as a ticking clock ensemble.

The titular character study is often off-putting, and when the film is left alone to witness it culminate in martyrdom I simply do not care. Self-important cry baby is right, the wife is laughable, the politics-as-personal-grievance angle deflates it as a conspiracy.

You don't get to commit the sin, then have us all feel sorry for you that it has consequences.

One of the core themes said out loud. Another example of personal grievance and hypocrisy this time as his wife is describing her own reaction to motherhood. Oppenheimer is the father of the bomb he regrets. That's what ultimately brings them together in the end. Being terrible parents. So stupid.

the last hour moreso serves as a takedown of the American system rather than being concerned about whether or not Oppenheimer is a hero. It is about how everyone must play the game and showing how the American enterprise that directed Oppenheimer to build the bomb is now and built him up and marketed him into being the person of the year is now using the exact same puzzles and tools to take him down

What is stupid about that? It is a takedown of the American Dream and a showcase of how Oppenheimer and his wife are not built for that life. Yes, they are not truly great people (nobody is), but the movie doesn't provide a simple answer and wish to condemn them as bad either. There's a reason why we go from that sequence of Kitty and Robert needing to drop their children off to a friends place and calling themselves terrible people for not being able to adjust to domestic life right into a wide IMAX shot of them riding horses into the sunset depicting their freedom and a rejection of domestic life.

What Kitty is saying isn't hypocritical with that line, but rather telling Robert to own his sins instead of crying about them. She did the same thing and owned her shortcomings. And she is telling Robert to do the same and fight and play the twisted maze game that everyone around him is playing in the American political system to get their way. What brought them together was their fascination of science and communism and the wonder of achieving something bigger, not domestic life. There isn't anything stupid about that especially when you consider domestic life was normalized at that time and the mirroring of that to the American complex that can build you up and destroy you in the same breath is brilliant.

You want to talk about stupid, look no further than Killers of the Flower Moon, a movie where a man's entire motivation can be summed up by a line he utters: "I like money".

please be ficitional weirdness again

Pretty sure it will be. He doesn't really like repeating himself.

Doing Tenet after Dunkirk is a wild choice, so I imagine this will be one too.

I bet every actor is in his email rn lmao

Most directors would take the money and disappear for a while

My GOAT already working on the next

This next movie is going to have an unlimited budget and will probably have every big Hollywood star begging him to cast them in it lol

Christopher Dough-lan

But yea definitely hoping this next one is more like Inception and Interstellar rather than like Dunkirk or Oppenheimer

I love when Nolan goes for really big and ambitious ideas

He might be the most powerful operative figure in the business right now.

Yea I really can’t imagine any movie studio telling him no to anything at this point.

Bro made a 3 hour R-rated biographical film that earned a billion dollars and 7 Oscars

Film execs will basically give this man anything he wants now, and any actor in Hollywood will clear their schedule for him
