By this logic QT is all artsy with zero substance

all of QT's films have the exact same tone so.

Also, Nolan has drummed up tones of intensity, sentimentality, sadness, joy, and self reflectiveness so that is far from one dimensional. He just takes his ideas serious and it clearly shows that he is great at it when his copycats (like Sam Mendes or even Mcqueen with Widows) are so bad at it.

of course, just saying that both sides benefit from each other for sure

hey guys, they’re both good

like this isn't even a complaint lmao. Every great filmmaker has a defined style and aesthetic usually. Michael Mann and Terrence Malick are some of the greatest filmmakers of all time and they have very defined styles and tones as well.

no my guy better!!

the nolan batmans have a good amount of humor to them as well, albeit dry humor but its unfair to say nolan has never had any light hearted aspects to his films.

how does kill bill have the same tone as IB or H8 lol

When you do the same thing a hundred times you end up being pretty good at it, that's just Nolan

If you want real artsy blockbusters then you got Iñárritu or Cuarón or PTA/QT like I said

you do not consider nolan to make artsy blockbusters?

Dam, I only came here to see what niggas felt about the trailer.. but of course some of y'all always have to ruin a good thing

Having humor is different from being able to direct a straight up comedy which QT and PTA have done before. We are not sure if Nolan is capable of doing that since he never showed anything that saying he could.

trailer is status quo for a nolan flick for me. was going to be excited for the film regardless, the trailer did not really tip the scale either way. whats your thought on it.

Everything's subjective, y'all still don't get this. Let the kids have fun

Innaritu is a HACK

and Cuaron fell off hard too. Btw Cuaron does the whole "real, serious" thing every film as well, to a far more dull and simplistic degree than Nolan (Gravity is literally a far worse version of Dunkirk, both films that are governed around constant motion of action for a plot, except Gravity draws it around a central character with a less than one dimensional narrative around her, whereas Nolan creates his emotion through the stakes-driven action of his film and doesn't fill the film with unnecessary characterization to give importance to any single one person in what is such a collective based event). Kill Bill is exactly the same in tone as IB or H8. He might be a little more light hearted in one or a little more cynical in the other, but every single film he has done has the exact same sense of tone.

which is close to what Nolan does and way different from Kanye

Trailer was cool, looks pretty wild

you judge a filmmaker on their ability to make a comedy? I know QT or PTA could never make an Interstellar, so why are you criticizing Nolan on not making a comedy as they have? There is far more to versatility than ones ability to make a serious movie and a comedy you know. Nolan has made a war film driven entirely by tension, high concept sci fis (one of which is quite meditative and self reflective and the other that is more popcorn blockbuster oriented), two murder mysteries, and superhero films. There is clear versatility in all of these films stylistically and tonally

Iñárritu is way more versatile, artsy and even realistic than Nolan could ever dream of being

Also gravity literally inspired Nolan to do Dunkirk so you can't really say something negative about that

Interstellar and Dunkirk are his most artsy, but they are still not that out there, the revenant or birdman are way more artsy than both, hell even Gravity which Dunkirk is based off of

Innaritu makes utter trash and all his films are just hacky iterations of far better european cinema (Biutiful )

I actually think The Revenant is okay, but that and Birdman are such pretentious exercises of telling worthless stories by making it about how "cool" the camera work is.

Guy is one of the worst filmmakers straight up.

Gravity's only real contribution was showing studios that films based on a simple story dictated only by action can be made at the blockbuster level. Dunkirk is far different from that film in every way. Dunkirk shares more in common with Battleship Potemkin than Gravity.

Was already sold on the premise and cast alone, this trailer didn't really reveal much or leave me as excited and on edge as the Interstellar tease, since a chunk of it are reused footage and set pieces I've came across on the net. But the scope and Ludwig's score is more than enough right now for a movie that is a late summer flick

imagine having a discussion with bane

true, i would probably argue birdman and revenent, although larger budget and well known by the public, are not blockbusters so to speak, but the minutia of it all is silly to argue so imma cut myself off

Gravity is like one of the most straight forward movies ever. Not one degree of artsiness to it. It is governed solely by action. You get your comic relief with George Clooney. And the story is always progressing in a linear fashion.
