Inception was Nolan's pet project that required him to direct a bunch of capeshit in order to acquire funding

What went so fucking wrong?

He's not that smart or creative

Nolan's not a very good director.

superior to the matrix in every sense except overall fight choreography

Nolan is an excellent director.

Nolan’s dark sentimentality may seem classical to naive filmwatchers. But the way his clichés manipulate viewers’ perception of the world and human behavior is merely timely, not profound. Like Grand Theft Auto’s quasi-cinematic extension of noir and action-flick plots, Inception manipulates the digital audience’s delectation for relentless subterfuge.

Inception should have been called Self-Deception.

Wrong

Can someone post the Nolan is Reddit incarnate pasta

BINGO!

Paprika did it first and did it better.

I hate to say it, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a better dream movie than Inception.

Which is saying something because hoo boy was that film trash outside of seeing that chick from House in her panties

Honestly, he's really smart. His movies are not smart, they're easy to understand. He is selling an accessible concept to the masses. This is not easy to do. To be able to hold audiences hands through a story and for them to not get lost. I agree insterstellar is a dumbed down 2001. He didn't just retard it up, he made it in a way that if you don't get the movie, you have to be retarded. It's like that futurama quote, "when you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" It's not easy to make concepts and things digestible to a general audience, but he does it. It keeps getting him high budget films.

i think it's a good movie

I think he is smart and creative, but his storytelling is cold and solemn, which makes his creative side seem dull.

Anime doesn't count. Cry more, weeb.

He's an incredibly talented director I just don't think he's one of those guys who has some grand original vision.

Hes really good on a technical level like Alejandro but their films feel soulless.

I think his only film with a soul is Amores Perros, and only because Guillermo Arriaga wrote it.
