Cool I'm on volume 3

Hey character let's go on a walk while I explain to you what the f*** is going on

People fighting for my pleasure why go see tenet when you can be just as entertained on ktt?

Alright, I’ve made a decision

Still self quarantining until Monday cause I was exposed at work (but I tested negative, just required by the health department). So next Saturday I’m crossing state lines to see this I can’t wait any longer. By then it’ll be weekend 3 and there shouldn’t be as many people seeing it hopefully

soon!

Just dont expect too much. It's great but not top tier Nolan

Finally watching it

I was finally able to see this. My family, girlfriend and I bought out a theater (they are operating at 25% capacity) just to watch this movie, and I was extremely disappointed. This didn’t work for me the way I wanted it to. If there’s any good that comes from this, hopefully Nolan goes back to making smaller scale films.

His desire for spectacle and immersion has completely overtaken the necessity for human and complex characters. Even Inception has an emotional force behind it.

Isn't that the same complaints that can be given to Dunkirk yet people calling it a new classic? Or is it because people knew what to expect with a ww2 film opposed to an original screenplay?

Well, there was something in Dunkirk when that British sailor son, George, died, but it was a side character still

All it did was just give a small reason for their motive. Nolan has always been rather cold when it comes to emotions, but it's how these events unfold that makes others want to come back and see what he's going to do next. Just my 2 cents though.

For me, I think Dunkirk had some emotion because of Mark Rylance’s character. I also think that the point of that film in particular is for the viewer to be the protagonist. There was a clear story in Dunkirk, and I firmly believe Nolan wanted us to feel like we were on the ground with those soldier. Dunkirk is great, but I also think it’s the exception.

Tenet is wonderfully crafted. The chemistry between John David Washington and Robert Pattinson is solid, but that’s really it. Everyone just feels like a chess piece for Nolan’s machinations. The movie is very cinematic — I will give him that. I understand why he pushed for a theatrical release (as irresponsible as it was), and I think Nolan is a great filmmaker, but this is the first time in a while I believe he has truly disappointed.

What was emotional about this? The ending was way more poignant.
and let‘s not act like Neil‘s ending wasn‘t pretty moving

Jussayin some characters did have to deal with loss, and yeah the ending is poignant

He's a grand scheme of things guy, which I don't mind to some extent

Dunkirk's mission was to make you witness and experience The events in real time and without CGI, you were in the middle, the movie was your eyes and ears.

Here, Nolan was more nudge and winking as giving the viewer a chance to be a spectator of an incredible array of sequence as long as you were following his moves. What's the harm here, if he never strayed from that?

If you wanted something emotional or a reason for why they worked so hard as they did, I get it as an issue, but having some emotions wouldn't have done anything to change what happened in the film, even for the main guy.

Cant wait to see this again

dunkirk became critically acclaimed because the lack of characterization wasn't a drawback, it was part of the movie's point. he cut down on dialogue immensely, which has always been his most common critique. nolan instead relied on creating atmosphere and moving the plot forward thru visual storytelling, instead of exposition hammered over the audiences head. critics are generally more receptive to that kind of stuff, so by combining that with his unique film structure and visceral spectacle, it's pretty understandable why dunkirk scored as high as it did.

with tenet tho, the character's motivations aren't developed nearly as well as in his previous films, and his usual problems with expository dialogue are 10x worse here due to how convoluted the plot is. to make up for it though, nolan is at his peak conceptually and action-wise, so its still interesting to watch

The idea of a 16 year old dying for no reason is incredibly powerful when pitted against the idea of war.

The only blood we see in Dunkirk is not as a result of the Germans. Powerful imagery.

And it's made even more powerful by Peter telling the Shivering Soldier that George is going to be okay.

People who complain about Dunkirk are literally missing out on one of the best movies of the past 20 years.

One of the GOAT sound mixes ever too

Interstellar and Dunkirk by far his most emotional films

Ohh s*** yeah, the part where the soldier was told that George would be alright. Were they protecting his mental or something? Since he already had PTSD

Yep. That moment gives me chills like crazy.

He asks earlier because he feels bad and Peter tells him George won't. But after George dies, and they're getting the soldiers, Peter tells the soldier George is okay. The Shivering Soldier then actually ends up helping get the swimming soldiers on board.

Cillian Murphy played that role pitch-perfectly.

Also there's the scene where Mr. Dawson freaks out to Peter about Collins being in the water, and at first it seems a little over-acted, but at the end you realize that Dawson's older son was about Collins' age and died recently in the war flying a plane, so his panic was him essentially trying to save his son.

S*** hits like a FREIGHT TRAIN. I honestly have no clue why people rank Dunkirk so low and say it's emotionless. It's one of Nolan's finest works.
