Is it cool to dislike Chris Nolan now?
Seeing a decent volume of vitriol toward Nolan here and on other sites. 10-15 years ago, everyone and their dog wanted to be seen as on board with the guy.

shareI think he can be regarded as a smart director, and he made some smart movies, but sometimes he could get overly pretentious and make things difficult to understand.
In terms of this movie, he introduced too many characters too fast and neglected some of the character development.
The biggest mistake I think was about Jean Tatlock, in fact both his wife and girlfriend were neglected. We have no idea why they do what they do, which would have been OK if they were not main characters.
I think the mistake was to introduce the nude and sex scenes with Jean Tatlock and we have no choice but to pay attention to her, and there was nothing there.
And also we have no idea why his wife was so skilled at handling the prosecutor. And I really started to think she had training for that, from whatever sources.
Who gives a shit what is cool or not? Especially amongst a bunch of film nerds on a movie site. Why the hell do people flock like sheep one way or the other?
This film was phenomenal, and brilliantly acted. If Nolan doesn’t win Best Director at the Oscars for this one he never will.
Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. maybe, I think they should win awards for this.
But Matt Damon just does not look the part of a general.
And I don't think Nolan can win Oscar with this, then again Oscar is more of a popularity contest, and becoming more and more political these days, I am not sure this movie would satisfy the diversity quota.
I hope so. Never liked the guy or his movies.
shareI've noticed the same. I don't pay them any mind. I still look forward to every Nolan movie. "Oppenheimer" was certainly better than "Tenet".
shareHe's a good director but his fanbase is ANNOYING AS FUCK. People hail him like the 2nd coming of Christ because he made some pretty good Batman movies, and now comic fans everywhere would pay a few grand to drop down and suck his cock. Never seen a director with a more infuriating fanbase, not even QT or Wes Anderson.
shareThere's a small segment of people that hate him for being a straight white male that makes movies that primarily appeal to men.
shareAh, those people. Thank god for straight white men. Wouldn't want to imagine the state of the modern west without their efforts.
shareLook at the people who are mad about Greta Gerwig not getting nominated fir best director for Barbie. These women and some self hating men think she's entitled to the best director Oscar based solely in her gender.
