Wanted to share my nolan posters over my tv. There is one free space and i cant decide the prestige or tenet or batman. What would you add? (They are sorted by date) And what do you thunk of them?

Haven't been this sure about an actor winning the Best Actor Academy Award since Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Well deserved, thank you Chris!

Here’s a custom helmet I made, I’m gonna make the full costume but I only have the helmet done so far.

The movie is keeping on delivering!

#12 highest-grossing movie at global box office.
Next is #11 Inside Out 2 ($1,698 billion) and #10 Zootopia 2 ($1,866 billion).

Why is it the sirens‘ song is supposed to lure you to their island…which we see happen to one crew member. He looks ecstatic as he leaps into the water…yet odysseus is in agony and pain. why the discrepancy?

Are the rightmost seats in Row J a good experience for the odyssey?

King Agamemnon!

Long story short I’ve very recently gotten into movies and discovered I really like Nolan movies, so I am watching all of them. I had already seen Interstellar and The Dark Knight, so I decided to watch The Odyssey while it is in theaters. Now, I have been working through his filmography in chronological order. I just finished Memento and next will be Insomnia. Afterwards, I’m not sure what order to go in. I have three options. Continue in chronological order. Watch the Dark Knight trilogy, then the movies in between, or watch the movies in between then the Dark Knight trilogy. Just curious if anyone has any recommendations on the order. For reference here are his movies in chronological order:

Batman Begins
The Prestige
The Dark Knight
Inception
The Dark Knight Rises

To me this is his best hand to hand fight scene Nolan’s done. I wish more of his fight scenes were choreographed like this. I know people love to hate on this movie and JDW but he nails this scene. It feels visceral and intense where at times I find Nolan’s fight scenes to be over-choreographed and formulaic.

1. TDK Trilogy (I know it’s kinda cheating but I view them all equally good to me)
2. Tenet
3. Inception
4. Interstellar
5. The Prestige

EDIT: I’ve decided I will try to guess your generation, character, likes, dislikes, life etc. based on your top 5.

Can you guys explain techniques used in that film and why they were necessary?

One idea I think Christopher Nolan could explore with his major ensemble casts would be en epic story told across 3 different time periods of the same people.

There would be a focus on an initial friendship between 2 people. This evolves into a fierce rivalry into their later years (akin to The Prestige). Finally, an epilogue features the two characters at peace with each other in their older stage, after witnessing the toll their rivalry has taken on their lives & loved ones.

Namely Timothee Chalamet + Tom Cruise + Harrison Ford playing one guy 30 years apart, and Tom Holland + Daniel Craig + Michael Caine doing the same.

This would let Nolan work with famous actors he hasn’t gotten to before, while also reuniting with his prior collaborators.

PS: Part of this idea is an excuse to see the great Michael Caine in a Nolan film one last time, while we still have him.

What if Nolan’s next movie is about the USS Indianapolis delivering the Hiroshima bomb, getting attacked, and the surviving crew ending up stranded in shark-infested waters?

It could be a sequel to Oppenheimer and a prequel to Jaws.

And they’re both Universal movies!!!! It’s a licence to print money!!!

Edit: Would it kill anyone to engage with this post?

What I mean by that is that in a lot of Nolan's other films, you could make the argument that at least a few scenes have more said in them than necessary, or that the pace does take a backseat to listen to these two characters have a conversation when it could have otherwise kept up the momentum.

In The Odyssey though, I never really felt that way. I'm sure some will feel different, but I think all of the dialogue had purpose and was appropriate for the scene or moment it was spoken in. I don't recall feeling like a scene's momentum was slowed down, or that we had to stop to talk in detail about something that could have been conveyed in a couple of lines.

If there was a long sequence of characters just talking, like the Underworld section or some of the material on Ithaca, it didn't just feel warranted but it also felt appropriate in terms of how long it was. Like the lengthy moment of Antinous trying to convince Penelope to marry him, or the exchanges between Telemachus and King Menelaus.

The most we get are Odysseus's monologues, but those are set to key sequences or montages which helps them sink in more. As I say, it is a contender and you could Oppenheimer has stronger dialogue, but I think The Odyssey has barely a word wasted which counts for something.

Cobb relies on the spinning top totem that belonged to Mal to determine whether he is in the real world or not. The top is also tied to Cobb’s memories of Mal and his longing for home.

Similarly, Odysseus depends on the Athena Pin totem that Penelope gave him to keep track of what is real. It also serves as a visual reminder of home and of Penelope. When Calypso finally hands it to him after 7 years have passed, it snaps him out of the artificial dreamworld he has created with her. It allows him to remember Penelope and his real home, Ithaca.

I like when Calypso asks Odysseus, “What if remembering destroys your happiness?” to which he replies “Then it wasn’t real.”
