He received the BFI Fellowship Award the night before this, and he and his wife Emma visited the BFI Archive on the same day as this talk. Nolan’s films mean a lot to so many of us. Truly great filmmaking. Very glad this was filmed and made available on here for everyone to see. Apparently it was the most in demand event that the BFI has ever had.

The Prestige got snubbed pretty hard with zero nominations in major categories. And they continued the nomination snubs with The Dark Knight, Inception, and Interstellar.

Too many directors are going straight to the big leagues, just to be controlled by the studio, due to having too much to handle at their current skill level, causing them to inevitably fail with a 100+ million dollar film that has absolutely no vision, when they should have taken a small step, and continued to develop their craft and vision film-by-film.

@@hamadhasan6630 Even astrophysicist Neil DeGrass Tyson said the premise they used for leaving the Earth in the film did not make sense. Anne Hathaway's "love is another dimension" rant was ridiculous because it was built on the assumption that loving people who have already died has no utility which is laughably false. The time-loop handshake also made no sense because it falsely postulates that once you have witnessed a "future event" you cannot change it. Nolan used the same contradictory logic in Tenet. When Cooper is reunited with his daughter at the end, her family unceremoniously leaves the room not even acknowledging Cooper. This is their ancestor, the most amazing event in human history is taking place at that moment in that room & Cooper is just treated like a regular hospital visitor. And then he just leaves his daughter there to go score with Anne Hathaway? Not a chance. Interstellar is one of Nolan's dumbest films in my opinion.

Interstellar is a massive science fail. So hard a fail I can't watch it even though it it is otherwise a decent film. The astronauts going to the planet around the black hole first makes negative sense. Their reasoning for doing so was wrong in every level, their plan was idiotic and they would have known it would never work, and the guy orbiting just a little further out would have still aged only a year or less,, not 20 years like back on earth. I could rant on it for pages, but honestly the fact it is hailed for its science when it fails so hard is all you need to know about how little people actually care about it being accurate.

@aliali-ce3yf 2 ай бұрын

IMO he peaked with The Prestige and Inception was his last truly great film. Its been a decline ever since. Interstellar's first act is too messy and nonsensical. Dunkirk is a nice thrill ride , but not much of a film. Tenet is incoherent. Oppenheimer is ok, but too superficial in character development. And his choice for poor audio quality is odd. IMO, Denis Villeneuve surpassed Nolan as the best filmmaker working today.

Honestly you're right. Everytime I watch one of his films I feel like I "want" to like it, but there's always a little something somewhere that just ruins it. Interstellar was overall great but the "LoVe" thing was just cringe, and Tenet and Dunkirk were pretty forgettable.

@@alparslancelik5405I wouldn’t say he’s overrated, but to say he’s the best is really just subjective. I think many would say the same of Dennis Villeneuve. My personal favorite director is Paul Thomas Anderson. It’s very subjective and while I understand how Nolan may not everyone’s cup of tea, I think that comes down to individual taste.

Inception is his only great movie in my opinion. Other than that he is hugely overrated.
