I love how Nolan isn’t tied down to a specific genre or style. He can spend two decades making some of the best action sequences in cinematic history and then suddenly make a movie comprised almost entirely of people talking in rooms just because he feels like it.
@jp3813 Ай бұрын
Well, he does have an identifiable style. He loves realism and non-linear storytelling. And there are many genres he has yet to dive into. I think the most versatile popular director is Steven Spielberg: Duel, Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, ET, The Color Purple, Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, etc...
@TheSchaef47 21 күн бұрын
@@jp3813this is another version of Schaff's argument that favorite and best can be two different things. Spielberg is easily the most successful director of his generation, but Nolan is somewhere in my shirt just of favorites. Denis Villeneuve quickly climbed into that tier with Arrival, Blade Runner and Dune. James Cameron and Ron Howard are probably somewhere on that list also. And then there's a whole pile that I greatly respect even when they're not Favorite-favorites: Scorsese, Cuaron, Paul THOMAS (not W.S.) Anderson, Fincher, del Toro, Hitchcock, Antoine Fuqua, guys like that.
@TheSchaef47 21 күн бұрын
He's run a pretty large gamut over a rather small collection of films. He's done a detective story (two if you count Memento), superhero movies (which also kind of cross styles), sci Fi, space opera, a war movie, a spy movie, an historical drama, and whatever you call The Prestige, a mystery thriller, I guess.
@jp3813 21 күн бұрын

The thing about The Prestige is that the first watch will blow you away when you learn the twist, but the second watch will blow you away *because* you know the twist. There's so much packed into that film that you find something new every time you watch it, but for the first watch you don't actually need to pick up on any of it to enjoy the story and that's the craziest part to me.

The first time I saw Interstellar was (unfortunately) not in a theater, but on a 4K disc at home. I wasn't able to get the full cinema experience, but I did have a cheap 5.1 surround system and the audio on that disc blew me away. I could put my hand in front of one of the rear speakers and that thing felt like an air conditioner with how much sound it had pumping through it. My dad came home from work while I was watching it, and came up to my room to see what all the noise was. He ended up getting so engrossed in the movie that he just stood there in the doorway and watched the last 45 mins or so with me, without having seen the rest of it. It's truly a great film and I gotta give it another watch soon.

While Ledger death more or less impacted Nolan's approach towards third movie, overall picture showcases there never actual desire to make one, with only contract and/or promises for funding of other projects which were to follow TDKR actually made Nolan direct third movie. And yeah, while I consider Nolan to be easily one of the best directors of our times, he is hardly perfect.

@elinorris1739 Ай бұрын
This video began with us having many similar takes (except with flipped opinions on rises vs begins) but the ending diverged quite a lot. Here's my list: 1. The Prestige 2. Interstellar 3. Oppenheimer 4. The Dark Knight 5. Memento 6. Inception 7. The Dark Knight Rises 8. Insomnia 9. Following 10. Tenet 11. Batman Begins 12. Dunkirk You mentioned in your video that you'd only seen The Prestige the one time for when you made this video, and i swear to you - you absolutely must watch it again. Every single time i watch it again i just get sooo blown away, its incredible. The best part is watching it with new people who havent seen it before, and talking about it afterwards. I will die on the hill that The Prestige is Nolan's best film, its just SO good and expertly crafted and i eat it up every time

Interstellar is probably my favorite Sci-fi movie of all time. Especially since Nolan had an actual scientist on board to make it realistic. He even had him create the most realistic image of a black hole at the time.
@tylerdrechsel8840 2 ай бұрын
My favorite thing about the ending of Inception is that it doesn't matter whether the top fell over or not (which it did). What matters is that Cobb no longer cares about whether or not it's reality and just goes to see his kids.

SCHAFF… I never comment on videos. Like ever. But I can honestly not thank you enough for this video. I have never even heard of half of these movies (an uncultured swine I know) but I have been following your content for awhile particularly because of your animated movie reviews/interest in musical theatre. I love them. I watch you like every single day. For the first time from watching your channel I actually checked out a movie I haven’t seen before after watching your review. I JUST finished The Prestige (literally like 3 minutes ago) and I immediately ran back to this video because of how GOOD and absolutely floored I was with the twist. It was just such a good film. And I would have never even known about it without watching your video that piqued my interest. Now I can’t wait to watch more movies on this list (I haven’t seen Interstellar or the Dark Knight trilogy yet). Keep making your amazing content you’re my favorite KZfaqr. And guys WATCH THE PRESTIGE you won’t regret it. Love ur content crab man :)

I originally watched Memento because it was one of the required films for an Intro to Film class I was taking. I hadn’t heard anything about the film before watching outside of the events being in reverse chronological order. Just from my first viewing it immediately became one of my all time favorite films. It is so rare to have a story where everything just works together to make an unforgettable masterpiece.

Finally watched Memento last year and can't recommend it enough. It's one of those movies where the confusing plot structure is legit justified and actually makes sense for the movie. The movie playing in reverse order does such a good job at putting us in Leonard's shoes and helps us understand his short term memory loss. We're forced to experience his condition every time a new scene begins, because we have no idea what happened just happened before.

Memento is better than Tenet It should be the other way round, a movie with time reverals should be better than a movie where the story is just told in reverse But no, Nolan just had to mess it up. Memento should maybe have given him some exercise in how to make a reverse movie but he still fumbled with Tenet so hard. The fact that Memento is better than Tenet but people also talk about Tenet more.

The Dark Knight Rises at least gives Batman a fitting ending. There isn't a lot of stories where Batman actually reformed Gotham for the better and passed on the mantle. DKR will be special for that
@ReichLife 2 ай бұрын
Years later it indeed becomes apparent how good TDKR ending is. Mere comparison with other biggest batman series showcases that, when in Animated he turned out into old hermit with his crusade being basically meaningless, or Arkham games where ending was quite bitter sweet. Or comics with never ending story. Nolan conclusion indeed looks great.

14:20 you latched on immediately to the fact that Mark Rylance is the beating heart of most films he's in. You might like War for the Planet of the Apes as an example of a war movie, also. They largely forego large scale battles and focus on Caesar leading a small squad of soldiers on a mission that turns into a prison break, and there's a strong personal dynamic between him and the human Colonel.

I know a lot of people dislike it, but the dark knight rises is one my favourite batman movies and probably my favourite of the trilogy. I love Bane, genuinely one of the most unique versions of him, and I absolutely just can't stop quoting him. The message Batman learns to strive at your lowest. The genuine threat I felt seeing Gotham reduce to chaos. Yes it's flawed, but that made it memorable for me But that's my stupid opinion, you all can chastise me now;)

I also like the scale and the stakes to the story, despite the bomb being dumb.

One of the things I will always respect about Christopher Nolan is always making everything as real as possible with little to none cgi, he even said in an interview that one of the reasons why he mostly uses practical effects rather than cgi is because it was more fun that way and watching some behind the scenes on how certain things were created made me respect him even more on how impressive he could do it as practical as possible.

@@cobiepal Nah, Trinity Test was horrible in Oppenheimer, or at least explosion itself. Wonderful built up, completely ruined by ludicrously underwhelming explosion. Compare it with Indiana Jones 4, Godzilla Minus One, etc. Those were nuclear detonations. In Oppenheimer? It blatantly looked like classic Hollywood fuel barrels going off hundred meters away rather than a nuke few kilometers away. Same problem with Dunkirk, where great and tense atmosphere is severely when you you think for a second and realize how desolate said supposed massive evacutation is. Again, compare with others movie, like Atonement which also featured Dunkirk event and there scale was far more on point. Or Stukas. Sound and tension wise they are perfect in Nolan movie. But then you blatantly see those are blatantly 1/10 the size of actual thing when contrasted with environment around them. This is what so bizarre about Nolan obsession. People dislike CGI when it clearly puts you out of experience. Nolan obsession about doing practicals is doing literally the same thing.
