Honest Trailers Commentary - Every Christopher Nolan Movie

[@fandomentertainment]

What other filmmaker should we make a compilation Honest Trailer for? One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse

[@bennetkruithof8425]

ScreenJunkies News Tarantino

[@Polycomical]

Ooh- Alfred Hitchcock, Sofia Coppola, Michael Bay (you know you want to), the French new wave (I dare you) and Steven Soderbergh.

[@gonzaloolguin5980]

Terrence Malick

[@alialsaidi9257]

Michael bay

[@TrekBeatTK]

How about the directorial work of Mel Gibson?

[@KevinBrown-hb3re]

Bet 10$ Mark Nolan is a intense smart dude with black slicked back hair, casually wears suits and has a dead wife who was evil.

[@mitchelldexter7713]

only one edit: "BRUNETTE wife who was evil (and possibly French)

[@joshuatheodoresetyawan1642]

You almost entirely true except the death wife part his wife is still alive

[@joshuatheodoresetyawan1642]

You almost entirely true, except the death wife part, his wife is still alive

[@ana-maria.c]

guys stop being so afraid of criticizing popular stuff and stop apologizing for it. that's why we're here, not for unending praise we already get that from EVERYWHERE else. keep being honest and making fun of stuff, people need to stop taking everything so seriously

[@alanomaly]

Ana-Maria C 100%, this honest trailer felt more like an actual trailer or advert in places. Surprised me because their actual honest trailers of Nolan's films were mostly pretty critical if I remember right (especially Interstellar and Inception)

[@oldDNU]

They usually reserve the "we're making jokes, hold off on the nerd rage" comments for the commentaries, but yeah, they spent a lot of the trailer's time telling the Francises to lighten up.

[@sanderflop]

The problem is that they're being comedic when they do HT but sincere for everything else, which is why people have a hard time distinguishing it and it always leads to vitriol in the comment section. I can understand why they want to avoid that

[@binazirissenova9382]

being honest =/= making fun of things lmao, that is some flawed logic

[@ana-maria.c]

Laura P nono you got me wrong. i am neither criticizing them nor is this about Nolan. I do not give the slightest fuck about Nolan. the thing was that they keep apologizing so much for every joke they make and for every criticism they give regarding popular stuff (Nolan is included here but it's not about him)

[@saulturner3567]

Christopher Nolan doesn't struggle with emotions. He's just british.

[@MyssBlewm]

Saul Turner one in the same?

[@poppyseed1987]

Does that mean all British people struggle with emotions?

[@saulturner3567]

No that was meant as a joke.

[@umairfarooq4951]

Hey, Michael Caine is British and he's emotional as heeeell. And I'm British as well. And I know of emotions.

[@TomBrandon121]

I'm British and can confirm that yes, we lack any and all emotion

[@kingofurukgilgamesh7828]

I honestly don't think Nolan fans are THAT bad. There are worse, like Star Wars fans, anime fans, ceiling fans... I'll see myself out.

[@leelewis8749]

You go to hell. ceiling fans are the greatest fans ever.

[@daftyfunky]

And the worst of them all: Sports Fans. Believe me, I am one of them.

[@monicagold4578]

👏👏👏

[@netos1923]

Lee Lewis ceiling fans blow.

[@mk6rfc1]

its not even that, there are asshole Nolan fans (like the ones of who apparentely sent death threats to critics who didnt give TDKR a good score) BUT not all Nolan fans are like that, just like every other fanbase

[@judsoncoe]

I'm in The Prestige. Seeing him direct was awesome. Instead of saying cut he said thank you.

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

who are you in prestige and how did you get the chance to be in it?

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

That's awesome good for you!!

[@definitelynottommywiseau3037]

That's great!

[@DiamondDuke614]

He probably did background work aka he was an extra. It's fairly common. My gf does background for some tv and film.

[@bened22]

In german productions it's also normal to say thank you at the end of a take. Maybe it's the same in british productions and he brought this over to the US?

[@rachelelizabeth6017]

Please put that Christopher Nolan song on itunes!!!! 😂😂😂

[@archierm]

"Chris NOLLIN NOLLIN NOLLIN NOLLIN NOLLIN (What?)"

[@arielfangirlmendez]

You know I always want to see inception as a honest trailer

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

I put it on sound cloud, good enough? XD

[@RetroBoyChan]

OMG! Yes, please do it!!! I will even pay for it...

[@dylanrichards8414]

How could u bring up Edith Piaf's song being in Inception during that and not mention Marion Cotillard is in Inception and also played Edith in La Vie en Rose

[@fandomentertainment]

That's a misdirect. Charlie Chaplin is the real connection. He's the prestige. - Dan

[@munjee2]

ScreenJunkies News *OF COURSE*

[@skilledwarman]

Fun fact about "fridging": it came out of comic books. Specifically Green Lantern. During the Kyle Reiner green lantern comic his girlfriend was murdered and her broken body crammed into the fridge with the only story purpose being to motivate him for a fight. Obviously they weren't the first ones to kill off the girlfriend just to shake things up (Gwen Stacey cough cough), but that is where the specific term "fridging" or "she's the girl in the fridge trope" come from

[@skilledwarman]

hakasims fun fact about "mansplaining": it's typically used by idiots who don't like being proved they're wrong

[@mk6rfc1]

is it really mansplaining when it was to the internet in general and not like a 1v1 convo with a woman?

[@mk6rfc1]

+hakasims but he’s not just talking to women, he’s talking to the whole internet so it’s both men and women. Feels more like just explaining to everyone rather than a guy explaining something specifically to a woman

[@skilledwarman]

if anything i was posting that hopping some of the guys on the show would actually see it and maybe just think "oh that's interesting" when they read it. It's you and your big ego/fragile temper who read it and went "REEEEEEEEEE A MAN SAID A THING REEEEEEEEE! I'M OFFENDED THAT HE WOULD TALK ABOUT A THING HE IS INTERESTED IN [comics and their history] AND THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD JUST KEEP FACTS TO THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS"

[@theman37379]

I totally thought he was saying that to be funny or ironic, but the previous string of comments proved that wrong.

[@crashzero6517]

thanks for leaving that last bit in, i laughed so much with you guys very fun

[@The8347135]

I feel bad for you guys. It used to be "do this one movie I like," and from now it's gonna be "do every movie this director has done"

[@charizard318]

I think they just mean that people are going to be making even more burdensome requests/demands for what they do next from now on

[@bat51]

they get paid to watch and discuss all the movies from some of the best modern day directors.

[@archierm]

Every Tarantino movie... When?

[@tharrock337]

I don't envy whoever will get the job to make a supercut of every female feet closeup in tarantino movies. That is gonna be a feature length movie in itself.

[@benabramowitz18]

He has a new movie coming out August 2019, so that’ll be a perfect time for that trailer.

[@Nielz073]

YES

[@alialsaidi9257]

Every Michael Bay movie make it happen honest trailers

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

Every michael Bay movie...... Where there's no logicalic, racism, bad scripts and most importantly ...SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GO BOOM!!!!(well at least with transformers movies the rest whatever)

[@Koooo4]

Why do you hate them?

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

Are you to me or him?

[@Koooo4]

My comment was for the OP

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

the op?

[@davetheauthor9885]

Would actually be awesome to see Nolan do a horror movie.

[@Xperian13]

Edith Piaf's "Non je ne regrette rien" are featured in Bernardo Bertolucci's film back in 2003, called THE DREAMERS. BRRRRRRRAAAAAWWWWRWRRRMRMRMMRMRMMMMM!!!!! *MINDBLOWN*

[@tharrock337]

oh my god the nolan song might be my favorite Spencer moment ever. Surpassing the Gal Accent moment where I am still not sure how to feel about it but just postponed my internal debate to have a laugh at it.

[@sivasubramanianv2710]

tharrock337 haha. Can u gimme a link to the video where he does a Gal accent ? Haven't seen it..

[@Protorit]

Same. I vaguely remember that but cant find it.

[@tharrock337]

unfortunately I dont know where it was anymore, maybe it is the wonder woman honest trailer commentary? Also he doesn't do her accent he just hears it and loses his shit and everyone else is not sure how to feel about that.

[@tharrock337]

it was not the wonder woman commentary. I remember dan facepalming pretty hard and he is not in that video so cant be that one.

[@cheekyboomboom8973]

Haha, it was during an episode of SJU. Gimme a second... Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnm9d3dpe8uXpNUm25s

[@shannonjackson9778]

Smashed that like button on the merits of the Chris Nolan song alone. Love these commentaries guys!

[@ChrisLamia]

Completely with Dan. The Prestige is #1

[@doopdoopdoopyeah]

me too! Rewatching it again and just loved the way the 3 acts of a magic act makes the parallel to movie script writing - including the one in the film itself.

[@sif1083]

omg i did not know about the third nolan brother being an international criminal!? the hemsworth brothers are shaking

[@betts3985]

The brother's name is Matthew Nolan. I just checked. And yeah, he's a criminal--been arrested for a lot of things. On another note, I really enjoyed this honest trailer! :)

[@michellegiana3864]

It's actually Jonathan Nolan

[@maxkutsch4181]

Please do Zach Snyder. I am not a huge fan of his but I think that the trailer would be hysterical - plus, I think he might be a little under-rated by a lot of people who don't appreciate how good he is at the things he specializes in.

[@Zefferwindow]

14:19: Yeah, this has always been kind of apparent although ever since Inception, the focal point of a protagonist's motivation has begun to gravitate toward the character's child instead of their spouse. It might have something to do with the fact that Nolan's first kid was born (I believe) in 2003 or 2004.

[@patricksullivan6988]

I already considered Dan a kindred spirit, but finding out that The Prestige is his favorite, just elevated him even further.

[@Asgar1205]

The Prestige is definitely my favorite Nolan movie. I watched it a bunch of times and there is always a new little detail to discover.

[@kalenzypie]

Glad that you had so much fun making and commenting as i did watching!

[@nusratmojumder4802]

come here for the commentary, leave with inception button knowledge and the Nolan song... you guys are the best

[@adryanvalle]

I actually think Nolan is great at emotion in his movies. To me they’re more subdued versions of “movie emotions”. Which feels more realistic, at least to me.

[@tedjason6901]

Nolan is flawless. This is an unarguable, unbiased fact. There are no alternatives. Nolan. Is. Perfect. Or maybe I'm just an unabashed Nolanite. Yeah. That's it.

[@oldDNU]

Ah, 2002, when Robin Williams played three psychos: Insomnia (abusive, unapologetic killer), One Hour Photo (stalker), and Death To Smoochy (it's a rocket ship!)

[@refragerator]

Ngl, this was one of the greatest movie commentaries I've ever seen. Taught me stuff, was funny, never disrespectful, 10/10 imo. I'm not a Nolan lover though, I just like most of his movies. So maybe hardcore Nolians took it differently.

[@hmiles650]

Can I just say that I actually like the dark knight rises not as good as dark knight but still good

[@KMAC-mf4dk]

Not a Wizard I feel like that's a larger portion of moviegoers than most give it credit. It's just not the Dark Knight and that's ok, it's hard to top

[@oldDNU]

Agreed. I also say the same thing when people come down hard on Iron Man 2.

[@job3rg]

Not a Wizard it's good. But pales in comparison to the first two

[@LelekPLN]

It's the second best superhero movie for me after The Dark Knight... Logan comes close as well. I also prefer rewatching TDKR to TDK because it's pacing is so relentless

[@alfredwang7607]

It was so different from TDK which is tense and quick pacing. TDKR is slower and less groundbreaking thus may receive more criticism

[@allisonkrein5499]

The Chris Nolan trailer was one of your best in my opinion and this was a great and funny commentary!

[@Orchestructive]

The Phone "drowning" is probably one of the greatest tags in HT history.

[@danluckett2948]

Great job, guys! Always very enjoyable!

[@bashful_michael]

Love you guys! Man are you guys hilarious. Spencer's Christopher Nolan song was one of my favorite Spencer moments ever.

[@andrewperlmutter8148]

In my opinion... as a filmmaker and a film lover... Christopher Nolan is the best filmmaker i’ve ever seen

[@MatthewBerner12]

Dan explaining "Fridging" is my new favorite explanation of anything EVER.

[@Zakofidea]

Do Kevin Smith. That would be interesting.

[@loradineva8398]

Amazing work, guys - no idea how you catch all these things, but thank you :D Can't wait for Oscars 2019 Honest Nominees.

[@binazirissenova9382]

you guys are actually children lmao, i love it

[@munjee2]

Didn't Nolan say he wanted to make a howard Hughes biopic starring Carrey but then aviator was announced so he bailed

[@dr.j7542]

maybe he BALED...huh? huh?

[@munjee2]

Joseph Nnaji do you think I misspelled bailed ?

[@dr.j7542]

Munjee Syed Get it? BALED... as in Christain Bale...huh? huh?

[@dr.j7542]

Maxi Iroh I give up!

[@trollwarlord368]

Munjee Syed yes

[@merlinbriere6246]

Nolan Fan that made it through the honest trailer and the commentary

[@andersonmbarboza1108]

There's one more little loop in that Nolan theory: you forgot to mention that Edith Piaf was previously played in a biopic by Marion Cotillard, who also played Mal in Inception (and TDNR)... OMG!!!

[@Shanegmahon2]

You guys made me look like a crazy person laughing in the corner of the train and I love you for it! 😆

[@firstaidforanthony]

I love these commentaries.

[@kalenzypie]

You guys did an excellent job, the theory was WOW very unexpected twist

[@christophergarrett7082]

I love Christopher nolan. The dark knight trilogy and inception are in my top ten movies of all time.

[@Heartsapien]

"Chris NOLAN NOLAN NOLAN NOLAN!" *Star Trek chime* Lmao thank you for that.

[@pigmiwarriorentertainment274]

This was a hoot. Love it when you guys start really fooling around

[@omalor]

11:54 is that not the BWAAAAHHHHH sound that you guys say isn't present in Inception?????

[@LaurenTheorist]

To he honest, Christopher Nolan is my favourite director. I love almost all of his movies and Memento is actually still my favourite!

[@jaimeheather]

I think I'm the only person who genuinely loves The Dark Knight Rises more than any of the others in the trilogy

[@johnjay554]

HAha! Jon's impression of "a very emotional Michael Caine" is SPOT ON and FUNNY AS HELL!

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

Next weeks trailer: a winkle in time?!!!! (laundry get it?.....)

[@benabramowitz18]

"From the studio that's spent the past decade dominating the box office with a healthy mix of superheroes, cartoons, Star Wars, and redundant live-action remakes, comes their latest attempt at a _somewhat_ original live-action experience, that shows that maybe Disney should stick to the basics." Also "the film that proves once and for all that minority filmmakers can make boring, bloated CGI messes just as well as straight white dudes. Hooray for progress?"

[@deensaid7762]

Either it's Mulan (considering the movie will celebrate 20th anniversary next week before the live-action coming out next year) or Jurassic Park III (considering JW Fallen Kingdom opens next week as well).

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

actually fallen kingdom doesn't come out til June 22(even tho I think they will definitly do jp III in time for that) and Mulan I would think they would save for the live action one(also their hint was something to do with laundry and what do any of those movie have to do with laundry?)

[@user-hardbrain]

They should really do an honest trailer of any Brad Bird movie before the Incredibles 2.

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

Yes!!!!

[@camerongregor4014]

Dan, I am so happy that you could only work the Inception button on the jokes not about inception. thank you

[@alxcia]

The booaahhh sound IS in the movie. The actual myth is that it’s not.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Alexi García Time?

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

Yup, if you reeeeeally look hard, time will be in there too! XD

[@talahar123]

The kids had so much fun doing this one.

[@sergiolegone]

kudos, Dan. ending conspiracy theory was hilarious and panicked voice over sold it

[@ariannaevans1799]

The first time in years i've thought about Rollin' by Limp Bizkit and it's in relation to Christopher Nolan. What a time to be alive!

[@sammie578]

You should win an Emmy for that song alone!

[@mickyjankis9542]

Prestige is his best work till date, hands down the BEST

[@oldDNU]

Agreed. Also my pick for movie way better than the book. I have a different take than Joe on it. He seems to find The Prestige loses its rewatchability due to how much the film telegraphs the twist. I love it for that. It takes a lot of guts to tell the audience how the movie ends from the get-go and still surprise them.

[@mickyjankis9542]

Erik Dresner Yes, rightfully said, that's why I like that movie much more, haven't read the book, because everyone says movie is better, and it is easier to hide that kinda twist in a book, but in a movie it becomes near impossible, but they pulled it off

[@oldDNU]

The book is also quite different. For starters, the twist is far more obvious. Angier's machine works slightly differently and with fewer stakes. There's a modern-day framing device that doesn't quite work. Otherwise, the first half of the book is Borden's journal and the second half is Angier's. I like Christopher Priest--Inverted World is on my top 5 list of favorite books--but compared to the movie, The Prestige novel is just OK.

[@clairevinyard9073]

The Deus ex machina ending killed the movie for me. A machine by Tesla? Really?

[@mickyjankis9542]

Erik Dresner Didn't knew any of these, thanks for the recommendation

[@jdolan74]

Another reason why Letterboxd is the best place to go for a fans perspective, here is how they rank Nolan's movies: 4.4 The Dark Knight 4.1 Inception 4.1 Memento 4.1 The Prestige 4.0 Interstellar 4.0 Dunkirk 3.8 Batman Begins 3.6 The Dark Knight Rises 3.5 Following 3.4 Insomnia

[@danhensley]

Aronofsky, Tarantino, Sam Mendes, Kubrick.. these are all favorites of mine with definitive styles for a trailer like this one.

[@tigrezangel]

That song is pure genius!!!!!!!

[@tslehman]

11:50 Perfect timing!

[@Jerga27]

I appreciate Nolan's use of practical effexts whenever possible, and for pretty mucj guaranteeing that Michael Caine can have whatever kind of retirement he wants I've noticed he has like go to stable of actors, but Michael Caine is apparently a must. If he can fit him in somewhere, he will

[@cforbes54]

Loved this trailer!

[@vi5129]

you gotta put this nolan song on itunes or spotify

[@magenta2924]

I think Scarlett Johansson is the only prominent blonde in his later films.

[@hororka666]

And Marion Cotilard also played Edit Piaf.....it is even a bigger conspiracy right? hahaha. Also looooooove this.

[@munjee2]

19:52 following also has a batman logo

[@pvanny]

“No filmmaker is perfect.....” except Edgar Wright that man freakin rocks!

[@rolitshindane5742]

Martin scorsese movies next please

[@munjee2]

Roli Tshindane he's had 51 years of experience at and average of one every 3 years that's 17 films they said limited filmograpy

[@rolitshindane5742]

Munjee Syed then they need to get cracking, plus they have already done a couple 😂

[@munjee2]

Roli Tshindane they also already did 80% of nolans movies that didn't make much of a difference on the trailers length

[@munjee2]

Roli Tshindane the problem isn't just that it will take too long but that it will be too long and longer trailer don't do to well

[@angiee1603]

Love you guys.

[@munjee2]

Somebody take that Nolan song bit and put a horn at the end and upload it PLEASE

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

And I figured, why not? (Points for extra effort for posting a link when copy paste doesn't seem to work in youtube comments any more!) https:/soundcloud.com/metal-monkey-136142044/nolan-song-with-bwaaah-beat

[@edsbigsister]

As far as Nolan goes, he's one of my favorite directors - but I haven't seen all his films. I personally think The Prestige is his best and my favorite to rewatch. Interstellar being a close second. I guess that's an unpopular opinion? People hate on Interstellar all the time, but I found it hit for me emotionally kind of perfectly. I liked Inception and his Batman films, but they weren't as powerful to me. My brother worships them, but I don't feel the same connection. I also really loved Dunkirk, but found it the weakest narrative as far as the non-linear story telling. I thought it worked against him in that film.

[@vanya6159]

OMG! Same same.......Interstellar hits me emotionally perfectly but also the astrophysics in the movie is so accurate. My sappy and science graduate sides will intersect on one movie who knew

[@edsbigsister]

So glad I'm not alone!

[@vanya6159]

edsbigsister no you are not 🙌

[@kalenzypie]

I LOVE THAT EDGAR AND CHRISTOPHER ARE FRIENDS

[@jbearclowater]

This is worth it purely for the Chris Nolan song.

Who else actually watches the commentaries before the actual Honest Trailers!

[@supershell5799]

Indeed

[@rashawty]

Same here, it doesn't help that they post the trailer 30 min before the commentaries. This is always the first one i see.

[@Aaron-fg3ww]

Me

[@netos1923]

rashawty i hate when they post trailer first, it spoils the commentary!

[@FoxyAlphaRogerTango]

It's always the opposite for me. I need the context before the critique.

[@movieace1295]

24:46 Hey Joe! FUnny you mentioned that.. before Batman Nolan was suppose to do a Howard Hughes movie starring Jim Carrey but when The Aviator came out he scrapped it (he has said that he may do it in the future).

[@marikotrue3488]

Amazing job everyone. The reality bending and cosmological themes of Christopher Nolan movies were well presented. Well, except for the lag on the phone produced "braaams" effect, that was way too real.

[@geoffreygershon]

Man is it wrong that I couldn't stop laughing during the Caine crying montage?? :)
