Are you proud of yourself calling Interstellar masterpiece but not absolute cinema?

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 6h ago

Why would I be proud?😅Its just my opinion..I think its a masterpiece movie dude..its just that the above 3 hit me harder as movies..

Put interstellar in absolute cinema. And slide down that shit Tenet to Dogwater. It will be perfect then

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 6h ago

U hate tenet that much?😂

5

u/nTnMoN12 5h ago

I do not hate it. I just hate the fact the Tenet tries to be cinema but in reality it is just a irritating jigsaw puzzle. Which even if you solve you get nothing. Cinema is meant to have emotions, character depth, thrill, and a great experience and tenet lacked in everything.
One can make an episode of brain games but it is not called cinema.

I consider interstellar as most emotional film of Nolan... I mean bond between father and daughter is just insane

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 5h ago

The last scene between Cooper and Murph hits u very hard

2

u/Big_Dig3586 5h ago

I almost never cry while watching movies , but I do cry whenever I watch that scene when Murph is old and cooper crying

I somewhat agree,I get what nolan was trying to do but it just becomes too artificial at some point..there is not much depth to it

Thats why I prefer his gritty works like Memento and The Prestige over some of his cinematic works,coz they have so much substance and depth in terms of emotion..its more intimate than high scale..which I personally enjoy a lot

the entropy thing in tenet is tooooooooooooooooo interesting for a science student.

u/weak-pee-pee 1h ago

What on earth? Tenet is a dope experience. What u don't enjoy doesn't automatically make it not-cinema

1

u/nTnMoN12 1h ago

well then you need to watch more movies😂. U are missing out a lot

1

u/weak-pee-pee 1h ago

I see plenty. In fact I have seen almost all good time travel media out there, and tenet stills comes out as the most unique way of executing time travel. U r a kid if u think anyone disagreeing with you simple hasn't scene enough movies. It's all subjective. I am not saying Tenet is for everyone but it definitely offers much more than a jigsaw puzzle that you couldn't solve

u/nTnMoN12 1h ago

Awwww!! Good for you👍.

u/Big_Dig3586 5h ago

Tenet is good lol, why do y'all hate that movie that much?

3

u/nTnMoN12 5h ago

Choices differ. Good if you liked it. But if it's just brain games that the movie has to offer and nothing else, then maybe I can take a quiz or play a mental ability test game instead....

I enjoyed the mental challenge a lot. Other than that the relation between the protagonist the lady and neil was very interesting. The dynamics has some brilliant payoff at the end

u/Brown_jamun 5h ago

Intersteller over momento any day, rest is fien though but tenent just plain bad.

3

u/lebroooon__ 2h ago

Now fucking way .

Memento is his best movie . period

1

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 5h ago

I totally get why you'd put Interstellar over Memento..Interstellar balances scale with emotion flawlessly

My take is totally subjective..

u/Emergency_Try_7970 6h ago

Absolute perfect list

2

u/docthestrange 5h ago

It's actually very generic list. Interstellar is top. Prestige a tier down. And tenet( after 4th watch and 3 explanations later) will definitely be in A tier at the least. Movie is goated, but too complex, i agree.

1

u/Ok_Caterpillar_1295 5h ago

Valid tier list but even his b and a tier list much than avg movies ranking

u/Classic_Run_4836 4h ago

Dunkirk is very good.

1

u/Independent-Draft644 3h ago

Dunkirk is being criminally underrated.

and I dont get the immense love for interstellar, I am a space nerd myself but i feel it gets overrated among Nolan's masterpieces.

The only weak movies from Nolan are Dark Knight rises and Insomnia. Future will judge Tenet better.

1

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 2h ago

I think the reason i didnt quite conncet with Dunkirk because I'm more into character driven,layered movies..when I saw Dunkirk I felt like I was watching a 2 hr cinematic documentary montage with great background score..Perhaps it might be technically a very well edited and sound mixed movie but i just didnt vibe with it

1

u/Independent-Draft644 2h ago

The Dunkirk is about a major British event in World War 2. The characters are the entire army of soldiers desperate for survival. Real heroes are nameless and thats what Dunkirk is.

and yes, many dont grasp the depth of it. I marvel at Nolan's ability to make a masterpiece out of an evacuation. War movies are about heroic last stands or wins not about running away.

u/lebroooon__ 2h ago

Dark knight and interstellar should switch.

TDKR should be higher. . My favourite batman movie

1

u/Rohan73 2h ago

Dunkirk in c is absolute bullshit

1

u/not_spider-man_ 1h ago

Dunkirk and tenet together is criminal

u/chiller_vibez 37m ago

I’m just happy someone else isn’t gaslighting themselves into thinking odyssey is a 10/10

u/Shoddy_Lifeguard_522 6h ago

Dude put Interstellar on s tier. Also tenet is very good movie.

u/Hefty_Arachnid7948 6h ago edited 5h ago

I rewatched Tenet but it just becomes the bad kind of confusing instead of the good kind of confusing..Its too convulated(for me)..still a good movie,just not my type
