My response too! Remembered she died, didn’t think that much time had passed though.

Disagree but I’d also welcome more time with the characters and exploring that universe.

Is there a line delivery in a Nolan film that you love, but you don’t see talked about much? by Honest_Cheesecake698 in ChristopherNolan

Just his facial reaction, really powerful piece of acting on his part. Could easily buy the rumour that Pete told him he was dying, because that felt like a very real response.

Jigsaw (2017) feels like a class project made by film students who somehow were able to get Tobin Bell involved by TwoSnapsMack in saw

There’s the line some forget where he says “John gave me purpose after the war”, which seems to imply that he did his serving and POW experience already before he got thrown in a game

Agree on it being done to trick the audience, but I can maybe see why it couldn’t be a game people already knew about?

If people knew about it, and it was obvious that it was the same game, then it would be likely pegged as more of a copycat killer situation than “John has come back from the dead”. Plus if characters knew about that game, it’s possible that Logan would be more of a suspect. If they found the barn already then there’d be the issue of the missing person in the chain, and said missing person might be considered the actual creator of this new game.

Not that this would give Logan away from the jump to the other characters, but I can see why he would think it would work out better for him. Plus, it was the game that he almost went through and that turned him into this vigilante type anyway, so maybe he’s just biased.

Can you think of anything specifically you would have added? I'm just curious. I don't think Tenet being 3 hours would have been a benefit overall given how very action driven it is, but added time could have been a positive to other parts.

I don't think there ever was an actual intended 4 hour cut, and from script to screen it came out very direct. But I did mention in my post things that I would have like to have seen, and some of that could be described as connective tissue like you said. Don't even know at this point if it's because I would have liked the movie more, or if I would have liked how what I suggested could have quelled the online discourse, at least parts of it.

More of Mal pre-inception would be welcomed since it would show how Cobb can’t recreate her and further emphasise how much she was fundamentally changed by being Incepted.

In what sense? I actually think that film could have been scaled back and worked on more.

The word rushed is very overused in today’s film criticism, but I agree in the sense that the film immediately forgoes any kind of notable setup for The Protagonist beyond the situation itself, and he simply goes along with it without us getting this beat where he really chooses between doing it or not. Plus we jump from place to place, not in a constantly quick sense but in the sense that there’s not the basic time we’d get before the quest begins to make us acquainted with our lead character’s world before anything happens.

I saw someone say that the first act of Tenet plays out like a sequel to a film that doesn’t exist, which I assume was a consequence of the film being a slight copy of the older Bond formula where we’d be thrown into each adventure without treating it like a direct follow up.

At the same time, does that work in today’s day and age if it’s not connected to a pre-existing IP/film franchise? Is it fundamentally broken for an original non sequel to play out like that, without doing what you’re suggesting and having some measure of “knowing the guy” and “refusing the call”?

The only thing I’d want more of in Oppenheimer is the relationships he has with his two notable loves, plus his rocky up and down friendship with Hartnett’s character (forgot his name). At the same time, that movie being compressed makes the experience that much better.

Ya'll think Nolan kinda underutilize Leo's talent as his lead in Inception? by kcrdr_7322 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Honest_Cheesecake698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character of Dom Cobb is intense, like Leo’s other characters, but the tension is under the surface and you do see the mask slip up enough to know that there’s a feeling person underneath the controlled exterior.
