..this movie is insufferable. I decided to rewatch Quiz Show(1994) again, miles better than this shite.
shareI couldn't finish it, and there's no way I'd try again. The movie is all over the place, crammed with too much unfocused dialogue.
shareA lot of Nolan films are like this. Meandering pace and dialogue, pretentious monologuing, poor sound mixing, a score that insists that the most important part of the movie is happening ͢f͢o͢r͢ ͢t͢h͢e͢ ͢e͢n͢t͢i͢r͢e͢ ͢r͢u͢n͢-͢t͢i͢m͢e͢. How do people keep giving him money?
shareThe musical soundtrack playing nonstop over even uneventful scenes makes it virtually impossible to understand what they're mumbling about. Yes, they mumble. A good director will make sure the actors don't mumble.
shareAh, thank you. I forgot to add mumbling or unnecessarily quiet performances to my list, but yes, that's also been a common theme among Nolan films. I can only assume he instructs them to speak that way, as most of the actors in his films are quite accomplished and don't perform this way in other films.
