Oppenheimer and Why I Don't Like Christopher Nolan

[@fumbuswumbus]

Quick note: sry if it sounds like I’m talking a lot about tenet and inception especially in the first half. Even the Nolan movies I like aren’t exempted from my issues but I do think inception and tenet are the biggest offenders of them.

@@atharvadeshpande6907 He absolutely did not trust his audience with Interstellar. It is a known fact that he deviated from Kip Thorne's advice because he thought the audience would not understand or like the correct physics. He was wrong. Interstellar is so annoying in the amount of plot holes but despite that, everyone and their mother think they make sense when in fact they don't, and defend him as you're about to do now, no doubt.

[@watchover5054]

for me Nolan is like teh best student in the class but nothing else, like he is the one who does the most of pages in writing test because he thinks more pages means better but there is no heart in it, he does the work right but is so robotic. He is what the girls think about the cinephile guy

[@watchover5054]

also there is this thing who many people said to me and for me is so true, in which the more the budget for his movies increases the more bad it is. in the oscars i felt such a strange feeling when it got oscars and nominees, as if it was certain that ophennaimer was the best movie( zone of interest, holdovers, Anatomy of a fall where so much better).

[@vedasiva695]

Nolan's movies are full of exposition and generates this fake sense of being intelligent just because we understood a few lines of intelligent ( seemingly) dialogue. Very Bland director.

[@TheVeganButcher]

Oppenheimer was good. In my opinion its problem is exactly this, don't let the audience digest the moment, because of the amount of unnecessary exposition. The scenes cut to something else every time, someone is ridding a horse stops, say something, next a mad scientist gets in the lab screaming, next the trial thing, next flash forward to Einstein, next another thing and so on. The bomb was an incredible climax, but after that we're still watching a long boring trial for what? Nothing happened at the end.

[@TheVeganButcher]

Instead of showing his affairs to the communist, they should show Japan in some way, the dead people or something… at least in the news. We know he's regretting, they never showed why.

[@fumbuswumbus]

@@TheVeganButcher I can agree with that. I actually don’t mind the trial too much especially the one scene where the lights are flickering and they’re having a heated argument. That was super cool and I’ll always appreciate Oppenheimer for using interesting visuals during these talkative scenes

Finally finding out his conversation with Einstein was great I still think about it a lot

[@TH3F4LC0Nx]

I haven't actually seen Oppenheimer but I can appreciate the general criticisms (and I always like a good hot take! 😂). I think Interstellar was the turning point. A little on the nose at times, but the characters were good I thought and the themes were woven into the story pretty well. Dunkirk was the flattest, most emotionless war movie I've ever seen. Didn't like it. Tenet was ambitious but ultimately too high concept and it made no actual sense because it broke its own rules at every turn. And plus you couldn't hear half the dialogue and the characters were little more than cardboard cutouts. I expected Oppenheimer was probably gonna be low hanging fruit for Nolan. Biopics are kind of en vogue (despite being generally maligned) and it's the freaking Manhattan Project, so of course people are gonna lend it more credence than Bohemian Rhapsody. He can pull out his nonlinear stuff to spice up what's otherwise a pretty straightforward story to make people think it's more complex than it really is. I still think The Dark Knight and Memento are the real masterpieces of his filmography.

[@fumbuswumbus]

Well spoken my guy, prestige and memento are my goats personally. Also I just gave up on tenet I didn’t care at all about it when I was watching

[@petergrossi6605]

I agree but I loved the prestige and insomnia

[@quadaerospacespacecat8061]

Dunkirk is the greatest war film ever made. It was 100% on point. Brilliant cinematography, matching music, historically accurate, terrifying moments, anxiety inducing and masculine. I consider it as the most manliest war film ever.

His films feel like climax all the time. 😅

[@fumbuswumbus]

Honestly yeh…

[@brikkboyz22studiosextra]

i always felt like i was missing something when everyone kept talking about the dark knight or oppenheimer this video explained why

[@dhruv9744]

Nolan movies are definetely an acquired taste, the exposition problem is an issue you have to live with. But i still love his movies regardless because of the concepts that he tackles which other filmmakers are too afraid to take on because they also dk how to do the exposition. He feels like he's adapting full books into movie form and keeping the entire lore, thats why people get really invested in his movies. I cant defend Tenet i feel like he went too far with that one but i will die defending every other Nolan movie. There's a reason he's considered one of the greatest directors of our time.

[@Mariuscb17]

The dialog was odd. There were 2 scenes that were just out of left field. When he meets Werner Heisenberg (the most renowned guy) he opens by saying, "I need to go home". Similarly, odd was his convo w/ another giant in physics Bohr. He just complained a bit. Didn't speak about science or what's new. And way to long.

[@fumbuswumbus]

Probably because the movie is told out of order but idk I don’t remember too too much. I’m sure someone can explain it maybe? Also yeh a bit too long for me

[@micah1754]

[@matthewg11678]

You’re thinking about how their conversations are as if they are supposed to be “normal”. Scientists do not engage in small talk much. The “I need to get back to America” line in response to “we could publish together” was his response to his question. I also would like to point out that the first thing he says to Heisenberg is “probably because you inspired it”.

[@ianpg9891]

As a Nolan fan, you make some excellent points. I think for me I can accept the way his stories are told because I know what I’m getting into with his films. I would be disappointed if every film was like that, but I’m okay with his style, if not only because it stands out

[@fumbuswumbus]

YES, if there’s one thing I’d give Nolan credit for is that he’s very creative and ambitious. I very much respect that

[@fun_ruiner]

Honestly, I felt the same way. I was incredibly bored and had to stop watching halfway and continue at a later time. Despite the large cast, I failed to establish any connection with the characters. I couldn't even recall most of their names, and the storyline held no interest for me. Overall, it was a disappointing and a boring experience.

[@The_Reality_Filter]

Did you actually finish it because I fell asleep and never went back to it and never will. So so so so so boring.

[@matthewg11678]

I think the reason you didn’t connect with other characters is because the movie is portrayed as a first person point of view. Nolan wrote the script in the first person as Oppenheimer. Therefore you do not go on side quests with other characters that would allow you to connect with them more.

[@bluxverse]

This video is basically: I love Christopher Nolan, Can't stand the guy.

[@paulschulz5872]

a 'chore' exactly. It's not escapism, his films are like a big IQ test.

[@Bmayo27]

I loved it. But, I also loved the book American Prometheus (on which the script is pretty much based). There are some cool things, like a quick showing of black gloves ….b/c there were rumors that Jean Tatlock’s death may not have been a suicide. But, she did deal with depression, so I don’t want to add to conspiracy theories. But, reading the book, knowing that Richard Feynman was the young dude playing the drums / bongos. Hearing some of Feynman’s antics at Los Alamos, etc. He also wrote a good book called something like; “My view from below,” as he was still very young in those days, and wasn’t as renowned as he would later become. Anyway, I agree about the dialogue/ sound-mixing. Even with a great score, there are parts where I think to myself, “add subtitles!” Anyway, I loved it. But, I can absolutely see how someone could find the three hour run time torturous…especially if someone goes in just hoping for some cool music / action sequences. That’s not this movie. But, I’m old, and I quite loved the film.

[@fumbuswumbus]

Very glad u enjoyed this film. Definitely thinking of giving it a second chance but idk when that will be. I’m just happy that films like this are getting attention and don’t need to be attached to an existing IP or franchise to get people talking. Just a director who knows his stuff

Nolans movies look great. But they generally are too clever for their own good. They can also be highly indulgent. But to Oppenheimer. It was a good - very good movie for a couple of hours. Tacking on an hour extra for an extra plot was poor film making in my mind. If Nolans name was not attached to this movie, it would be an obscure side feature in the cineplex... that would be relatively unnoticed.

@@Megh_Vachhani lol, what do you mean I didn't get it? The story is very straightforward. There's nothing to unwind after the film other than your own thoughts on the moral dilemmas presented. However, the use of nonlinear story structure was unnecessary and, at times, difficult to follow. There was no need to jump around in the timeline other than a "twist" that didn't add anything, and, in my opinion, distracted from the philosophical and ethical questions presented.

[@WCCOMPUTERGRAPHICS]

@matthewg11678 for me It is. Its not about style, is about issues. His direction is full of issues and the most common is not finishing crucial situations that needs to be finished in a scene. As an example, Batman saves Rachel by jumping from the building and catching her, right? Scene finished. No, the Joker is still there upstairs full of prisoners terrorizing that party. What happened? How that situation was solved? Doesn't matter, the movie just moves on and forgets about It as we suppose to do. That my friend isn't a style of direction, that is a pure direction mistake. That is It.

Love that you admit as HxH fans that uses lot of exposition lol. I don't think exposition is the problem. More of how to make those exposition interesting and not making it feel that the character is currently becoming a tool moutpiece only for writers to infodump. HxH kinda avoids it with narrators but come at the cost of taking an entire page filled with text either due to shonen page restriction, his skill, or his backpain. About Nolan, I do agree, he could've been less on the nose but I still enjoy it. Oppie's character truly feels compelling for me. Hencr why, I'm ok with that style.

[@bluceree7312]

[@seanguzy9601]

It felt like he created an A. I. EDIT SOFTWARE LOL.

[@dhruv9744]

Nolan's sounds is actually a very common criticism, and he did come out and explain it, sound mixing for all his movies are tailored for imax and dolby atmos theatres which have more outputs than 7.1 and 5.1 sound systems. The downmixing for home entertainment is where the issue arises. Thats why for oppenheimer, nolan worked on a separate version of the movie where the sound has been custom made for TVs smaller screens.

[@teedoubleu2580]

I totally agree with the music. It always is there, almost everytime. Sometimes I don't understand the dialogs because of the permanent penetrating music. I really hate it! In Oppenheimer it was over the top too much so I stopped at some point because it made me really aggressive...

This movie was so far up it's own ass I can't even begin to enjoy it. It would have been a more interesting story if he had told it CHRONOLOGICALLY for ONCE! Oh, that meeting with the communist club in college came back to haunt him, oh shit! This was about a team of people that learned how to harness the power of the atom and there wasn't ever a single moment of "That's it! We figured it out!". The female characters were awful, per usual with Nolan. I was begging for it to be over with 50 minutes left.

[@matthewg11678]

Maybe there wasn’t a moment of “That’s it’s we figured it out” in the movie because that’s not how it actually happened. I also think you miss the point of how they thought back then. Yes they wanted to figure out how to make a bomb, but they weren’t exactly happy when they found out they did, they were greatly scared. So yes the movie didn’t have the oh shit we did it moment, and if it did it would look so out of place.

[@dougpiranha3230]

I agree totally about the music!!!

[@dhruv9744]

For me , while not being my favorite Nolan movie(my favorite is interstellar), Oppenheimer is his best movie to date on paper. I didnt feel the lenght of the movie at all and was heavily invested in the events that it talked about and how unlike his other movies, this is truly a movie focused on one character. This is not a movie about trinity, its about oppenheimer, and that difference is very important because most other filmmakers would lose that distinguishing factor. The ensemble is brilliant, Cillian Murphy and RDJ are gonna get oscars, the editing, the score, the cinematography, and above those THE WRITING are magnificent. Ive read the book thats its based on now and trust me the adaptation is perfect, like it deserves the best adapted screenplay oscar. Also this movie tackles every angle about oppenheimer that everyone thinks of, did he do it out of a moral sense, did he do it out of patriotism, did he do it out of selfishness to make himself important, and why he came to be against his most important creation. Its Nolan's most nuanced screenplay yet, we havent had something like this since the prestige. For me it was in my top 3 movies of the year, but i keep flipping between it and spiderman:ATSV for number 1.

[@ameryaser3987]

Oppenheimer was better in epic rap battles of history

[@JCA1009]

I appreciate your perspective, but I believe what you are highlighting is an issue with the new generations. They tend to demand increasingly simplified content, making a complex film like Christopher Nolan's appear too intricate for their taste. In a world where every generation seeks simplicity, this movie now resembles a philosophical book from 200 years ago. Personally, I enjoyed it greatly, as it's the kind of film that you can watch multiple times and still find enjoyment. Thankfully, we have such films, which stand in contrast to woke propaganda or superficial superhero movies.

[@fumbuswumbus]

I agree, I’m really happy movies like Oppenheimer are getting some love cus Nolan’s movies are very creative and they challenge u at the end of the day. I really happy a movie didn’t need to be attached to a pre existing IP or franchise to be popular. People care about history which is good

I feel if oppenheimer was directed by a director like damien chazelle or denis villenueve. It could have been more better. Nolan is a good director and most influenial. But this time it didnt work. Well this will offend casual nolan fanboys .

[@matthewg11678]

I’m a Nolan fan and see no reason to take offense to your statement because it’s a matter of personal preference in cinema. It may not have worked for you which is valid and I do agree there are a lot of things I would change about the movie. I do however think that Nolan was the best to direct this movie because he wanted to emphasize the gravity of this scientific discovery and portray it as a documentary in the first person. Yes Damien and Denis could’ve done a great job, I just don’t see them being able to do so as well as Nolan. Regardless that is just my opinion.

[@jaschowdhari3463]

@matthewg11678 Thats a good take, I agree. With the announcement of odyssey lets see how nolan portrays fantasy and mythical genre , which is different from what he does !

[@aarondcruz3443]

prehaps at the start I was a nolan fanboy, but the more movies and media Ive seen, the more I realise there can be alot more soul and identity to the characters in his films. His concepts are only ever as interesting as a main character driver/motivation to steer the narrative. Inception was great only becuase the dream element had a personal stake to the main character; Interstellar was great as the personal stake (though sloppily) linked into the main concept. Oppenheimer while really artistic and grand; didnt make me feel any personal stakes/ regret/ moral dilemma albiet ONE or two scenes (a detachment to the horrors of the atomic bomb didnt help and a side-track to the court room drama felt random.) Prehaps the trailer did decieve us into just showcasing the manhattan project as the forefront of the film but the first and second acts did feel highly irrelevant to me. Tenet was the worst offender of this trope by completely detaching any personal stake and even violating its own rules. I just saw Dune 2 and felt how much more was conveyed with little words and yet the struggle and conflict was apparent. Prehaps less is more.

honestly, as a student of physics the movie couldn't have been more straight forward. it was beautifully constructed and the music was immaculate. I mean if you aren't a huge fan of courtroom dramas the end part might be a bit of a stretch to you(which in my case it kinda was). The movie wasn't just about the Manhattan project, it was about the life, the inner demons, and the internal struggle of the scientist after the aftermath of the bombing. so, in my opinion it was pretty straight forward and great. but I do respect your point of view.

[@fumbuswumbus]

Yeh fs, I said in the video that I most likely don’t have the best understanding of Oppenheimer and that it simply wasn’t for me. The movie was not complicated but just very dense and a little overwhelming for me who isnt the smartest. But overall story is pretty easy to explain “Oppenheimer makes the bomb and now feels he has doomed the world”. Very much an oversimplification on my part but u can break it down kinda like that. I’m really glad u enjoyed it and I do think a lot of work when into Oppenheimer as a character which I very much appreciate

[@micah1754]

Interesting! Different strokes for different folks eh. I'm not a physics student, molecular bio. But I found the movie didn't really scratch my itch on the science side of it, giving more of a look in at the trails and tribulations of building the bomb and the science side of it. It really was more of a focus on the trial drama especially for the second half, and I started to tune out. And we were supposed to just know from the outset 'this guy is amazing'. But I didn't feel like the movie did a lot to show why or have you warm to the characters. I found the dialogue a bit pretentious too - not everything a character says needs to be a whitty quip - makes it feel false. It did make me want to go away and read more on the history of it all though. I understand the impact and horror of the bomb on the japanese was deliberate as it was through opps lens, but did feel a bit uneasy about that

Christopher Nolan is the most overrated director of all time

[@shubhamjagtap6349]

Instead of clickbait videos try making some sense and speaking something that holds

[@DrSininsinity]

I hate Nolan so much. His movies are mostly 💩

[@matthewg11678]

What are some of your favorite movies? Movies you would say are better than his. I’m not trying to throw a jab or be disrespectful I’m just curious to what movies you prefer.

[@DrSininsinity]

​@matthewg11678 Well, I start with my favorite (truly) filmmakers: John Carpenter, Agnès Varda, Andrei Tarkovski, Brian DePalma, Kelly Reichardt, David Lynch, Céline Sciamma, Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Almodóvar, Hitchcock, Aki Kaurismäki, Jodorowsky, David Cronenberg, P.T. Anderson, George Romero, Ana Carolina, Eduardo Courinho to name the main ones. And some of my favorite films that are not by them in addition: The red shoes, Quo vadis Aida, The phantom carriage, TAR, Drive my car, Suspiria 2018, Arrival, The witch, Before trilogy, A matter of life and death, The cabinet of Dr Caligari, 8 1/2, The 3rd man, La jetee, All that jazz, Martyrs, Phoenix, Being John Malkovich, various with Buster Keaton and so on. By the way I have watched every movie by Nolan and I only enjoy Inception and Memento in some degree.

Congratulations on a good clickbait title but the content was too thin, didn't last past 3:00

[@Lana-hl3tg]

This makes me not want to watch it 😅

[@fumbuswumbus]

You probably should, It's pretty interesting and worthy of viewing. But its definitely not like a turn ur brain off type movie

[@Lana-hl3tg]

@@fumbuswumbus I might, I’m just tired of all these new movies disappointing 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@fumbuswumbus]

@@Lana-hl3tg I feel that, I don’t think this will but it depends on what ur looking for. U always got Barbie tho that was really good imo

[@llllllllll9495]

Makes me wish I didn't watch it.

​@@Lana-hl3tgIt's not disappointing, this KZbinr is just trying to make content.

[@minecraftgravityguy]

The worst takes ever made about cinema, nolan and his films. 1/10 “too much water.”

[@momomono795]

I am not American and Oppenheimer was an absolute boring mess and really disappointing and Nolan ruined it because he’s an overrated film maker. Everything said on this vid is on spot! And ah I forgot to mention how stupid and ignorant your comment is to bring his nationality into this!

[@animeking1853]

Quentin Tarantino was right this is a wrost cinama era where people criticise masterpiece like Oppenheimer and appreciated grabage movie

[@fumbuswumbus]
