>Billy Wilder
He just does comedies, like woody allen. they are not 'great' film artists.

yes there is a scene in the Prestige, when the woman discovers her husband is lying, and then she goes and hangs herself. This is the laziest storytelling ever. She can go to her mothers. She can write a letter exposing them. She can do a number of things. But in Nolan's mind, she has to kill herself because it's fucking badass yo, when people feel despair, they... blow their brains out! Nolan's autism about how people behave is constant across his work. He figured out a gimmick and has a high IQ, but he is no film artist.

there is a scene in Dunkirk, one of the most underwhelming war films ever made-- Schindlers List or the Pianist this is not; that the scarecrow actor is on the ship and he really doesn't want to go back to the beaches, because you know, he has ptsd because war=bad, and soldiers have to be shell shocked because thats how theyre supposed to be in war movies. Point is he is not operating from a point of view of humanity but in war movie tropes he grew up watching. So he fights them screaming, no, no! you can't take me back, it's awful! then he shoves the boy and he dies. and there we have a major subplot of the movie, about ww2, about nazis, about good vs evil right, dedicated to someone whoaccidently slips and falls and knocks his head. A film about ww2 becomes a film about slipping on a banana peel instead. Now this can be a poetic moment but it cascades the whole movie because it is a major subplot. This is not the big, deep, powerful moment Christopher Nolan thought it was.

my favorite part is that Tom Hardy can land right there on this massive stretch of beach, he already won, he shot down the enemy; but he just decides to fly AWAY from his friends who are right fucking beneath him. not only that. he doesnt fly to a neighbor beach. he flies on and on directly in nazi territory instead and get executed. hes not being chased. he has more than enouh room to go in a small circle and land,land or to eject in the water and swim if need be. but no, that makes too much sense doesnt it. Just total retarded decisions in this movie and every Nolan movie.

Nolan movies all fall apart under scrutiny. He is an autist.

>He is an autist.
And, more importantly, off-topic.

None of this is good film criticism. Not only because they lack substance but also because they come from lack of paying attention. How do you misinterpret that scene in Dunkirk that badly?

>to eject in the water and swim if need be
What?

>he doesnt fly to a neighbor beach
>he flies on and on directly in nazi territory instead and get executed
>land or to eject in the water and swim if need be

>Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film, a Fred Astaire picture, or a porno.
Was Herzog right?

What is invalid about them? the dark knight rises was so autistic and bizarre it was a meme for over ten years. Nolan has a major blind spot how humans behave.

no and Herzog has never watched pro wrestling in his life I promise that. he is full of shit. and the fitzcarraldo and cobra documentaries show kinski perfectly professional and cordial.

anti-intellectualism was a fad he was playing into to help his brand;
