Alright, i thought this might be a fun idea and maybe a weekly series on KTT. I will chose a film director and we will discuss them. What's their best movie? Are they overrated? Rank their filmography. Some other s*** opinion, whatever. Just talk cinema, you know.

This week: Christopher Nolan

One of the biggest directors working today and probably in every Filmbro's top 3. Nolan doesnt really needs an introduction. But what does KTT think?

2010 work still his best imo but he's not bad now. His personality seems awful and out of touch tho.

A wonderful artist who I hope keeps making films well into his old age

Overrated trash

Everything up to and including Batman Begins is good to great. Everything after is very hit or miss.

What did you think of Tenet and where do you think he goes from here?

He seems to keep trying to outdo himself with every film for the past several years

Amazing director,sometimes gets too far up his ass and it takes away the charm,but he is going down as one of the greats.

Hope he can reinvent again with his next project

Prestige is his best film. Great director but overrated by his stans.

Great thread idea btw!

Wish he did more Dunkirk type and less tenet type. When it works it works but when it doesn’t it’s really a miss. Especially since his characters don’t usually do much for me

best mid director

He made some of the most memorable movies of the past 20 years. I love his passion for the IMAX format and practical effects.

yeah weakest point of his movies is character depth

I didn't like Tenet at all. It was everything I dislike about Nolan and his films all wrapped up in one.

I'd like to see him do something low budget and small scale. I don't think it's a coincidence that I started liking him less the more expensive his films got.

Had his 1st miss with "Tenet"

You think pandemic contributed or just the film itself

Both things sadly, didn't have a moment like his other movies

Not as great as he used to be but by no means bad. Still one of the big dawgs who at least give you an entertaining spectacle. His stans can be a little overbearing but hey that comes with it sometimes

A defining (arguably THE defining) blockbuster filmmaker of the last decade
he’s basically Drake

Starting off, I thought his work was amateur-ish and that he felt more like a good writer than a filmmaker. On works like Batman Begins, Insomnia and Memento, really just felt like he wanted to be Michael Mann but lacked a lot of details to make his films work.

I think the period between Prestige to Inception is when he started to come into his own as a director, even if there were still spotty aspects to his films in terms of the dialogue or some questionable framing and a confused sense of clarity to the progression of his action (although his worst instances of this by far was Insomnia with how bad the editing was in showing characters going from one destination to another during a wordless action sequence)

Ultimately, even tho TDKR is one of my lesser favs of him, I think that film really was the first time where I felt this wasn’t an imitation of a better filmmaker, but that Nolan had truly found his style and after that really came the best works of his career in Interstellar and Dunkirk. He kinda may have went too far in aspects with Tenet, but I think Tenet is the first real risk of his career and I love that he was willing to experiment as much as he did with that film.

Ultimately, hard disagree on those who think he used to be better because he felt like a massive amateur with works like memento and insomnia. He’s the best he’s ever been as far as I’m concerned. Gonna hope he keeps going crazier and crazier in his concepts and ambition.

Would say the drake of our time is Kevin Feige

Soulless bland garbage that sells

drake actually does s*** to. Feige doesnt do anything except holding people with actuall talent back

We stan
.

I still liked it but it def was one of his worst
