    My fave Nolan bits/bobs in no order: •Opening sequence w/ plane in Dark Night Rises •Bowie as Tesla in The Prestige •Matt Damon in Interstellar •How much money he got a studio to put into a movie as insane as Tenet •Everything about Dunkirk Can’t wait to see The Odyssey in 70MM this weekend.

    An unintended side effect of the Prestige TV Era is now every movie thinks you need way more useless details for 2.5 hours instead of simply saying "the flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible" and leaving it at that

    I have long been convinced that in the movie The Prestige, David Bowie does not know he's playing Nikola Tesla and is not aware he's in a film. They just went to David Bowie's farm and asked him about teleportation.

    It's like that lesson in the movie The Prestige, not the moral lesson of the movie but how and why a magic trick can dazzle someone. If it's too "perfect" or if there's only one solution, then there's no enigma or entertainment. Same with art, a lot of the fun is wondering how the art was made real.

    Further thoughts: People are rightfully comparing The Odyssey to Oppenheimer; the two are very deeply linked in terms of ideas. But Nolan also explored how obsession with a goal or object leads to the moral decay and downfall of man in a much better movie of his--The Prestige.

    Bsky having whetted my appetite, rewatched THE PRESTIGE yesterday. So satisfying watching the film spoiler itself repeatedly - the clues are all in plain sight! - but misdirecting you into not noticing. Nolan doubles up on his dead wife thing; Christian Bale & Hugh Jackman have never been better.

    The Prestige. The whole thing hangs on two Huge Twist Reveals, one of which is glaringly obvious for the entire length of the movie, and the other of which is, on a story-telling level, basically cheating.

    THE LIFE AQUATIC is a once-in-a-career film. They don't let very many relatively young filmmakers get away with this stuff. Like, Nolan had THE PRESTIGE, Wes Anderson has this. It's a manifesto, a mission statement.

    The best movies i have seen in my life for me personally were probably: - Sharknado (all of them) because of their absurdity. It's something to laugh at, and they do not aspire to be anything else, which is something we all need from time to time, while it is seldom provided. Honorable mention for anything Monty Python. - Nolan's Batman movies, because they capture the atmosphere Batman Movies deserve perfectly (I am not a fan of his later stuff tho. Dunkirk was fine but somewhat boring…
