Podcast #61: Christopher Nolan Problems & Weaknesses with Film Critic Baradwaj Rangan | Sollu Kaburz

[@thebharaths12]

Nolan isn't overdoing things. Baradwaj Ranjan over analysing things.

[@squarepants8442]

When I read the title, I thought Christopher Nolan had some problems with Bharadwaj

[@Jhon_wick03]

42:48 The dark knight rises opening hijack scene is far better than the opening scene of spectre

[@AdhiNarayananYR]

Exposition for a high concept film is important. and nolan makes these high concept movies. and without exposition these films would be hard to follow. I love Nolan's films the way they are.

[@anirudhmenon4234]

I've found Nolan's biggest flaws to be dialogue and action scenes. Tenet literally had multiple scenes of people just walking and talking about the plot. And as far as action scenes are concerned, while he gets the big setpieces right ( like TDK's truck flip or Inception's hallway fight ), the more grounded gunfights/hand-to-hand combat in his films just end up feeling very badly choreographed and executed. Scenes from Tenet, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises comes to mind here.

@40:04 What about 90s Manirathnam movies ? Dialogues in Thalapathy and Roja are not at all audible at many important instances.

[@MohammedIbrahim-lt5yn]

Excellent Hosting. Just loved it man. Keep rocking 💐🎉🎉🎉

[@najeebmd23]

Thanks bro

[@revanthk805]

Good Discussion, I think everyone feels the same regarding DUNKIRK, but I had changed my opinion recently after a rewatch, it gave me a great experience.

[@hrithickbarani8325]

Yeah.. Exactly. For me the ending monologue and the music and how every timeline comes together just gave me wholesome Satisfaction about the the movie.🙌

[@satte218]

Hardcore fan of Bharadwaj rangan sir.. his name brought me here...

[@SolluKaburz]

Glad you are here Sir !

[@sureshraghul2715]

Barathwaj be like Nolan overdid the "love transcends the space and time" but pats Maniratnam as a masterclass filmmaker for making movies like Roja which had Aravind samy yell like someone snipped his balls after seeing the terrorists burn indian flag, and we have Bombay which again has Aravind samy crying and advising terrorists in the streets about hatred, kaatru veliyidai which had the characters converse like as if they were in folklore period... I don't understand his lust for Maniratnam film making style while criticizing other film making for melodrama

[@PrasannaRAdv]

😂😂😂

[@tamildatasimplifier]

Please do an analysis of Blade Runner (Original) - Ridley Scott movie with Rangan.

[@SolluKaburz]

Excellent Idea Sir, Thank you

[@pradeepsukumaran1]

Wow...now thats a catch...good work getting him Najeeb

[@najeebmd23]

Thanks Pradeep :)

[@sandeepvpragada]

29:16 that's a bloody fact. Great conversation btw. I love interstellar so deeply I don't look it as a story or something, it is particularly designed for an experience most of the Nolan films are for experience and interstellar is one such and tenet yeah definitely not upto mark.

[@thebharaths12]

The moment Baradwaj Ranjan told, Nolan isn't a good dialogue writer. I was like what!?!?!??!?!

[@anirudhmenon4234]

Bruh, dialogue is definitely one of Nolan's biggest faults. His dialogues are filled to the brim with exposition.

[@vishnuadithya]

@@anirudhmenon4234 coz it's the genre that needs it not because he wants to u can't understand inception without it

[@kpkprudhvi8950]

@@vishnuadithya People said that the first half of Inception was filled with exposition, And now see what nolan did to tenet, he would have thought, ''Lemme show this so called geniuses a no exposition movie...''

[@ValliNayagamChokkalingam]

Excellent Interview! Thanks!

[@SolluKaburz]

Thank you very much.

[@hrithickbarani8325]

Excellent interview! Much needed.

[@PruthviEshwarPhotography]

I am a Nolan fanboy and I loved this Pod equally. Great one. :)

[@pradeepchandra7828]

Pleasure.

[@Sachin_C10]

Baradwaj Rangan sir talking about how chaotic the editing is in The Dark Knight 😆, finally somebody telling the truth. The dark knight despite its reputation honestly imo didn't have good action at all. The opening scene, the chase before the interval was very average & not that engaging. The dark knight rises actually had the most decent scenes in the trilogy action wise. The opening plane sequence, Bane vs Batman before interval, the football field & the climax bat chase scene were the most thrilling scenes he did.

[@krishnandu1089]

Watching this after oscars 2024

[@PoshakDua]

Love this ❤

[@sharathkumar824]

For Master movie, the same BR said 'you can't expect Emotional connect in a movie which is a new try'. Now for Dunkirk he says he couldn't connect to the film emotionally. So Master is a new try but Dunkirk isn't? And Suddenly emotional connect is a concern to him🤣🤣

[@sanjaychaparala4357]

well, because the kind of fanbase vijay has in tamil, nolan has in hollywood. just like vijay fans expect their star to do certain things(fights,dance,political dialogues), nolan fans too expect him to do certain things and emotional connect is certainly one of them.

[@rajeshkmurali3610]

According to me, Emotional connect is mandatory for any genre/language of the movie. Because that's how you make your audience feel for any character. If you look Brangan Sir's reviews for Vijay Sir's movies, he always tries hard to find some positives and the same applies to Mani Sir's movies as well. Isn't that what we all try to do, finding some positives on something we like even though everyone else hates it, so that we can defend our taste ?

[@zameendarabhinay1506]

Master is a new try in the standard of 'Vijay' film. Whereas Dunkirk isn't the first war movie by Hollywood.

[@Sarvannagari]

Great going bro

[@najeebmd23]

Thanks bro !

[@amodhsaxena6103]

"The Dark Knight" has the best dialouges ever, but I agree, is an anomaly!...Rest of the films, dialogues have been quite banal!

[@karthikram983]

You guys are not even eligible to talk about him like this without even having a basic sense.

😂😂 Atha than sir criticize panranga.. Neenga adhaye perusaa pesuringe

[@Jhon_wick03]

Bro can you please explain that what does that mean?

[@tamildatasimplifier]

Sky Fall is great only because of Roger Deakins and Silva Character

[@najeebmd23]

It also gave new Life to the Bond franchise like every good reboot Does !

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

Baradwaj Rangan doesn't know how to watch movies he mention Leo is average but I would say above average 7/10 and jailer a good entertainment seriously 2nd half with blast mohan comedy is cringe Max
