alt Hacker NewsYeah half of his films are super flashy and quite watchable but you really have to turn your brain off to avoid thinking "what? that makes no sense" constantly. Inception, Tenet & Interstellar at least.

Traditional action movies: Turn off your brains and have fun. Christopher Nolan movies: Turn off your brains, and at the same time feel intellectual/smart!

Nolan makes cerebral films for dumb people. I find most of them to be entertaining and fun, but they do lean a bit too much into profundity as a vibe without a whole lot of actual substance.

… and turn on the subtitles ‘cause they can’t be bothered to mix for legibility.
It’s suicide, that’s what it is.
For years the American culture industry has the advantage on its home court that people in other countries would watch our movies with subtitles but Americans wouldn’t watch other countries’ movies with subtitles.
Now the sound mixing of American films has gotten so bad that Americans have been trained to watch with the subtitles on and once you do you might as well watch Italian crime dramas or subprime anime on Tubi.
