Pretty much every Nolan film, with the disclosure that I stopped watching his movies after Inception. His films are always well-acted and well-produced, but the scripts are just… dumb? They take themselves way too seriously and carry this air of highbrow intellectualism while being riddled with plot holes and contrivances. Not to mention the crypto-fascist messaging.
He’s like Zack Snyder, but he pulls it off well enough that critics buy into it. It drives me crazy when I see his name mentioned alongside great auteur filmmakers like Kubrick and Scorsese.
nolan is the most memeable director alive and that's something
I think Inception is the fluke because it was Nolan wanting to make the Neuromancer book into a film. But as anyone who has read it knows, explaining it is ultra hard. So the script writer probably had no idea what Nolan was talking about except for a few specific points and Inception was born out of it. The key clue is that in Neuromancer the throwing star is the main characters reminder of reality while in the film it was a toy.
Still fits with your theory.
Whoa whoa, fascist messaging? Dafuq?
Explained in a separate reply.
I see now. Kinda small argument for such a big claim
I agree. Inception is the standout that was actually good and is relatively free of plot holes, but then you get Interstellar which felt like I was giving myself an icepick lobotomy.
Counterargument, Inception is one of the most pretentious Nolan movies. Every Nolan movie is essentially that scene with Keanu asking a chef “Do you have anything that plays with the concept of time?”
It’s supposed to be smart, that’s the annoying part. It’s just not that smart. And yes, I did see Dunkirk, and yes, I hated it despite it being visually gorgeous.
