Transcripts

00:00

so to conclude this video it's time to

00:02

take you to court Mr Nolan you stand

00:05

here accused of not only theft but

00:08

wasting away the audience's Goodwill

00:10

with aspects of your confusing nonlinear

00:13

time progression how do you

00:17

plead not talking huh that makes sense

00:20

since you're just a PNG of his head very

00:22

well until you can atone for your

00:24

transgressions I sentence you to

00:27

director jail you shall never work again

00:30

due to the consequences of your previous

00:33

film's failure take him

00:36

away you watching closely wait did that

00:39

disembodied PNG head just

00:41

speak ooh a map to treasure everybody

00:44

wait here while I go pursue this a few

00:47

inches later all right let's see what I

00:49

can

00:50

find huh it can't be that madman what

00:55

has he

00:58

done fun for shaper Alys is provided by

01:01

Squarespace the sponsor of today's video

01:04

it's the all-in-one platform for

01:05

entrepreneurs to create beautiful

01:07

websites engage with their audience and

01:09

sell anything from products to content

01:11

to time so let's talk about Academy

01:15

Award winner Christopher Nolan god it

01:17

feels good to say that Nolan is a

01:19

filmmaker I've respected for quite a

01:21

while because he's basically the perfect

01:23

midpoint between a blockbuster filmmaker

01:26

and a prestigious filmmaker he's one of

01:28

the most widely respected and popular

01:30

directors across General audiences I

01:32

don't think your average Joe Schmo in

01:34

the street knows the names of too many

01:36

directors but if you ask them who's the

01:38

guy that made the Dark Knight Inception

01:41

or Oppenheimer they'll probably know

01:43

that it was Christopher Nolan and the

01:45

cool thing about him is that not only

01:47

are his movies popular but in my opinion

01:50

most of them really have the substance

01:52

to justify their insane Commercial

01:55

Success he proved to the world that

01:57

superheroes could be taken somewhat

01:59

seriously

02:00

he crafted some truly mind-bending and

02:02

creative stories that got audiences

02:04

thinking far more than your average

02:06

Blockbuster would and now he's finally

02:09

achieved the recognition he's deserved

02:11

for so long from the academy now is as

02:14

good a time as any to rank all of his

02:17

films throughout the course of watching

02:18

his entire back catalog I honestly

02:20

became an even bigger fan of his than I

02:23

already was the way he plays with time

02:25

and nonlinearity in his stories is so

02:27

engaging while not everything about his

02:29

film making style works for me the parts

02:32

that do work wonders but on the other

02:35

hand he has made a couple stinkers in my

02:37

opinion so if you're a mega fan of his I

02:39

hope you'll bear with me because it

02:41

won't be long at all before we get to

02:42

the really great stuff with that said

02:45

why don't we jump on into it disappoint

02:48

in The Game of Life all right let's cut

02:50

the [ __ ] you know exactly what the

02:51

bottom slot is tenet is not good I

02:55

hesitate to say it's an awful movie even

02:57

though I would certainly not argue with

02:59

anyone who thinks that way I just think

03:00

it's a frustratingly mediocre and not

03:03

wellth thought out film it central

03:05

conceit of time moving backwards for

03:07

certain objects and certain people just

03:09

isn't nearly as engaging of a hook as

03:12

Nolan thinks it is it feels like this

03:14

movie is trying to capture a similar

03:15

Vibe as Inception telling this thrilling

03:17

story and utilizing a unique sci-fi

03:20

twist to enhance the tension but not

03:22

only is the Sci-Fi Concept in Inception

03:24

way easier to understand but the stakes

03:26

are more well defined and the central

03:28

character has an engaging person Al

03:30

story line nobody in tenant has an

03:32

engaging personal story line of any kind

03:34

the closest thing would be Elizabeth the

03:36

Becky's character caring about her son

03:38

but she's just kind of a standard abused

03:40

damsel for most of the film the

03:42

protagonist I'm sorry I should probably

03:43

use his actual name the protagonist is

03:46

an entirely unengaging character who I

03:48

never felt had much stake in anything

03:50

going on I like John David Washington's

03:52

performance and while we're at it Robert

03:54

patson is also good in this movie but

03:56

these characters don't really have

03:58

traits to latch on to they're just

04:00

vessels to get from one action scene or

04:03

expository conversation about how the

04:04

time travel [ __ ] Works to the next it

04:07

makes for a really boring movie The

04:09

Action is kind of cool and the

04:10

performances all work but I had no

04:12

investment in anything going on an issue

04:15

that was compounded as the film trudged

04:17

along to its rather underwhelming climax

04:20

I should also say that this movie is not

04:22

nearly as clever as it thinks it is one

04:25

of Christopher Nolan's best attributes

04:26

as a Storyteller is how he uses

04:28

nonlinear storytelling for cool dramatic

04:30

reveals as we'll see when we talk about

04:32

the good movies on this list but when

04:34

your entire film is built around the

04:37

concept of nonlinear time progression

04:39

well yeah I pretty much immediately

04:42

guessed that the two guys the

04:43

protagonist and Rob Pat were fighting

04:45

were themselves I immediately guessed

04:47

that the lady Elizabeth de Becky saw

04:49

jumping off the boat was herself

04:51

literally anything else would have been

04:53

more shocking and subversive in general

04:55

while I can admire how ambitious this

04:57

movie was in theory in execution I think

05:01

it might be Christopher Nolan's most

05:03

pedestrian film to date hidden behind

05:06

all the pseudo cleverness is an

05:07

incredibly standard story with

05:09

undercooked characters that I have no

05:12

desire to ever watch again the only time

05:15

any bit of dialogue in this film made me

05:17

perk up was when they mentioned

05:18

Oppenheimer cuz that made me say oh [ __ ]

05:21

I could be watching that movie instead

05:23

don't watch tennet you are not missing

05:25

out on anything I should take

05:27

Christopher Nolan to court for wasting

05:28

away the audience his Goodwill with his

05:30

confusing nonlinear time progression but

05:33

I'm not going to do that he's made good

05:35

movies with nonlinear progression before

05:37

I'll talk about them soon but first we

05:40

got to cover his other biggest failure

05:42

you're a big guy so I grew up watching

05:45

Chris duckman's reviews and I remember

05:47

he had a certain term called Phantom

05:50

menacing where you're anticipating a

05:52

movie more than anything you're just so

05:54

hyped for it and then you see it and it

05:57

wasn't that good but you just try and

05:59

convince yourself that it was so you

06:01

don't have to submit to the overwhelming

06:04

disappointment to this day I've only

06:07

done this Phantom menacing technique

06:09

with one film and that is The Dark

06:13

Knight Rises I was 14 and coming off the

06:16

insane four-year Dark Knight hype a

06:18

movie that amazing just had to have an

06:21

even better followup right so I saw it

06:24

with my family opening weekend and uh

06:28

yeah it was fantastic why do you ask it

06:30

made sense it wasn't horribly stupid and

06:33

contrived Nolan's a Visionary damn it

06:36

yeah as much as I didn't want to admit

06:37

it there is too much working against

06:39

this movie for me to call it good and to

06:42

be fair there are a lot of good elements

06:44

it's not awful but as the years went on

06:47

its problems became more and more

06:49

apparent to me I mean a lot of online

06:51

reviewers pointed them out for me as

06:52

well but enough of all this that's a

06:54

cute opinion did a YouTuber give it to

06:56

you stuff I'm My Own YouTuber and it's

06:59

been since I've seen this film so I went

07:01

into it with an open mind free of anyone

07:03

else's opinion influencing me except

07:05

cosm not Marcus since his video just

07:07

came out and damn it made some good

07:08

points but whatever I still have my own

07:10

reasons for disliking this film and

07:11

let's get into

07:13

it uh just as a reminder this is an

07:15

official disclaimer that you can enjoy

07:17

this film and my takes on it or just

07:18

from my perspective and you should not

07:20

decide to dislike it based on anyone

07:21

else's takes unless you thoroughly think

07:23

their take through and decide that you

07:25

agree with it based on your own

07:26

standards for judging films uh back to

07:28

the video I think the biggest problem

07:30

with this film is that I just never felt

07:32

threatened by Bane his plan to enact

07:35

martial law in Gotham before blowing it

07:37

up 5 months later with a nuclear bomb is

07:39

just really roundabout and stupid but at

07:41

least he has an intimidating presence

07:43

for you oh no oh dear look I can live

07:47

with Batman's ridiculous voice but like

07:49

who thought this was intimidating The

07:51

Fire Rises I'm sorry that is the

07:53

goofiest [ __ ] he's not an awful villain

07:56

or anything he has some effective

07:57

moments of physical violence and to his

07:59

credit he does bring the city to its

08:01

knees adding some Stakes to the final

08:03

film of this trilogy but it really is so

08:06

hard to take him seriously and I think

08:08

this problem is especially compounded by

08:10

The Twist villain reveal yes this movie

08:13

came out one year before Frozen and it

08:16

kind of has an equally bad twist villain

08:18

as Hans calligan and bellweather

08:21

something was in the water during this

08:22

era I'm telling you as soon as Talia a

08:25

character we barely know anything about

08:27

is revealed to be the true Mastermind

08:29

behind this plot the main villain we've

08:31

been building up for 2 and 1/2 hours is

08:33

kind of just disposed of within the

08:35

narrative he's completely subservient to

08:37

her whims and then after like a minute

08:39

Catwoman just shows up and shoots him

08:41

that was the death scene of the main

08:42

villain of this movie he's just picked

08:44

off like he was any old henchman oh well

08:46

at least talas will be better oh truth

08:48

be told I can't even begin to understand

08:50

her motivation for wanting to destroy

08:52

Gotham oh I hated my father but then you

08:55

killed him Batman and I was like hey you

08:57

know what he made some good points

08:59

actually actually let me adopt his

09:00

entire ideology and destroy this city

09:02

with a nuclear bomb by the way am I

09:04

stupid or is the bomb not far enough

09:06

away from the city when it detonates

09:08

like would this cause radiation damage

09:10

or something come on Nolan you made

09:12

Oppenheimer 11 years after this movie

09:14

you should know this I also hate how the

09:16

movie has a really good setup with Bane

09:18

finding Jim Gordon speech unmasking the

09:20

true nature of Harvey Dent and then it

09:22

just doesn't show the impact of that

09:24

Bane is like aha Gotham your peace is

09:27

predicated on lies Harvey s was evil and

09:30

[ __ ] and then we don't see any citizens

09:32

reaction to this news I mean I guess

09:34

they do have bigger things to worry

09:35

about but given how much this movie

09:37

presents dense reputation as this

09:39

shining Beacon of Hope for the city that

09:41

completely wiped out organized crime

09:43

somehow surely they would be a little

09:46

horrifying to know that it was all a lie

09:48

the speech does at least serve as Bane's

09:50

justification for freeing all the

09:51

criminals imprisoned without parole

09:53

under the dent act but I hate when

09:55

movies do this with their villains it's

09:57

like hey wait a minute these people went

09:59

8 years without parole we don't really

10:02

know what their crimes were but surely

10:04

some of them deserve parole hearings

10:06

right keeping all of them permanently

10:08

locked up in the name of Harvey Den's

10:10

fake reputation is really messed up and

10:13

Bane has a point that this is an

10:14

injustice but he also kills people and

10:17

he's going to blow up the city with a

10:18

bomb so who cares what his thoughts on

10:19

prison reform are beat him up Batman

10:21

speaking of which I just think it's

10:23

really funny how little Batman there is

10:25

in this movie he's in about 30 minutes

10:27

of the 2H hour and 44-minute run time

10:30

but to be fair this is because he spent

10:32

the past 8 years moping about Rachel's

10:34

death 8 years my guy and EDI remind you

10:37

that the last time he lost people really

10:39

close to him he channeled that rage into

10:41

becoming a crime fighting vigilante but

10:43

to be fair again apparently there's been

10:46

no major crime in the last 8 years so I

10:48

guess it's fine so 45 minutes into this

10:50

movie we finally get our first glimpse

10:52

of Batman and it's very underwhelming

10:54

there really isn't a single action scene

10:56

in this film that lives up to the

10:57

previous two which sucks cuz some good

10:59

action probably could have helped make

11:00

up for how childish and simplistic the

11:03

plot is every available cop in the

11:05

sewers every single one you sent

11:09

thousands of them down there and never

11:11

once considered that this could be a

11:12

trap all right I'm sure you've probably

11:14

heard every critique known to man about

11:16

this movie and we got a lot of actually

11:18

good movies to cover in this vid so let

11:20

me wrap up with some stuff I like cuz

11:22

this really isn't the worst movie in the

11:24

world uh I liked Killian Murphy being a

11:27

silly little judge I like when Batman

11:29

Catwoman team up for fights wish we got

11:31

more of those everyone's performances

11:33

are good and I like Joseph Gordon Levitz

11:35

especially when he goes to Wayne Manor

11:36

to appeal to Bruce I like the stuff in

11:38

the prison hole and Bruce finding his

11:40

resolve to get out of there the football

11:41

scene was cool in spite of his goofy

11:44

voice ban has some pretty cool lines

11:46

like this one and Gotham is ashes then

11:49

you have my permission to die but when

11:52

Batman brings that back in the final

11:54

battle tell me where the trigger is then

11:57

you have my permission to die that's the

11:59

rawest line in the entire movie maybe

12:02

even the entire Trilogy um I swear there

12:05

were other things I like just let me

12:07

think um I I like that the plot ties

12:09

back to Batman Begins in some admittedly

12:12

really stupid ways but it's cool at the

12:14

very least that the conclusion to the

12:15

trilogy didn't ignore the largely

12:17

overshadowed first chapter um it's

12:20

watchable it's aggressively long and

12:22

drawn out and not particularly well

12:24

paced but most scenes in a vacuum are

12:26

pretty solid as long as you don't think

12:28

about the logistics of the lot and all

12:29

the stupid [ __ ] I don't know that's all

12:31

I got it's really disappointing that

12:33

Nolan didn't stick The Landing with this

12:35

trilogy but fortunately I don't think it

12:37

undervalues the previous two films at

12:39

all you can just end the story on a dark

12:41

note with a dark knight you kind of

12:42

don't need this one in order to get

12:44

closure but to be totally fair once the

12:46

stupid plot is resolved I do kind of

12:48

like the epilogue this movie gives to

12:50

Bruce Wayne as long as you ignore the

12:52

logistics of nobody in the entire world

12:54

being able to recognize this famous

12:55

billionaire you see what I mean when I

12:57

say it's hard to like this movie We're

12:58

going to wa so I feel like this is going

13:01

to be my only real hot take of this

13:04

video and I'm going to make it even

13:06

hotter I don't like Dunkirk at all to

13:10

the point where I'd honestly call it my

13:12

least favorite Christopher Nolan film

13:14

you know how in some of my rankings I

13:16

designate that a movie is my favorite

13:18

even if it doesn't rank first place cuz

13:20

there are some movies that I just think

13:21

are critically better Dunkirk is the

13:24

exact opposite for me critically it does

13:27

not have the same level of flaws as

13:29

tenet or The Dark Knight Rises but I

13:31

personally enjoyed watching those two

13:33

more solely because as I've stated

13:35

numerous times I just cannot stand war

13:38

movies it's a personal preference thing

13:40

I cannot overcome there are exceptions

13:43

like Saving Private Ryan obviously plus

13:45

1917 was cool mainly because of the

13:47

single shot gimmick and I could get

13:49

invested in the two characters it chose

13:50

to focus on but most of the time these

13:53

types of films are cinematic white noise

13:55

to me that don't say anything other than

13:57

war is hell Dunkirk was actually the

14:00

movie that made me realize I don't like

14:02

War films back when I watched it for the

14:03

2017 Oscar season I thought maybe it

14:06

would click with me on rewatch and like

14:08

I guess I have some compliments the Han

14:10

Zimmer score in this is really

14:11

exceptional and heightens the dread and

14:13

urgency extremely well the

14:15

cinematography is gorgeous particularly

14:17

in the flying scenes I like the stuff on

14:19

the little boat with the Banshees of in

14:21

a sharing kid and The BFG and it becomes

14:23

especially more grippy when kellian

14:25

Murphy comes aboard and we see him

14:26

grapple with his PTSD it's an extreme

14:29

well-made movie it's hard to argue

14:31

against that but it is just not my thing

14:34

and I could not get invested in most of

14:36

what was going on again it is possible

14:39

for me to enjoy a war film but with

14:41

those two examples I listed Saving

14:43

Private Ryan and 1917 the reasons I got

14:45

so into them was because I cared about

14:47

the characters and because the craft of

14:49

the film was so strong the former had

14:51

the most gripping War sequence ever put

14:54

on film and the latter had the cool

14:56

single shot thing going on Dunkirk is a

14:58

well-directed movie but I couldn't latch

15:00

on to any of the characters outside of

15:02

some mild investment in what was going

15:04

on on the boat I don't want to dismiss

15:06

what is obviously a very well-made movie

15:08

for what it is it's just the fact that

15:10

it does not appeal to me and that's

15:12

totally fine you can always make your

15:14

own list where Dunkirk ranks near the

15:15

top if you're a fan of war movies I

15:18

think you will get something out of this

15:20

it is good by the war movie standard its

15:23

low ranking on here is simply due to my

15:25

own personal preference I cannot stress

15:28

that enough Christopher Nolan did a good

15:31

job with this movie I would just

15:33

personally sooner rewatch any of his

15:35

other films before this yes even tenant

15:38

because then I can at least laugh at the

15:39

funny I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago

15:42

ly Christopher you don't order hot sauce

15:44

you [ __ ] [ __ ] why are you following

15:47

me following is the first feature film

15:49

Nolan ever directed and yeah you can

15:52

kind of tell it has a lot of his

15:54

Hallmarks like a prominent use of the

15:55

score to drive emotions in scenes and a

15:58

lot of events being shown in a nonlinear

16:00

fashion to make certain reveals hit

16:01

harder but it doesn't nearly have the

16:03

same filmmaking finesse as a lot of his

16:05

future movies the story is pretty

16:07

interesting but both that and the

16:09

characters aren't nearly as fleshed out

16:11

as they could be considering the film is

16:12

only 69 minutes this is more of a proof

16:15

of concept that he's on to something

16:17

with some of these film making

16:18

techniques and storytelling Styles it's

16:20

impressive for a movie filmed on a Sho

16:21

string budget that only made use of

16:23

natural lights since he couldn't afford

16:24

any professional lighting equipment but

16:26

I think I admire its production more

16:28

more than I actually enjoy it as a film

16:31

it's got an interesting story like I

16:32

said and some bits of engaging dialogue

16:35

but overall it's just kind of okay cool

16:37

piece of History to trace an insanely

16:39

impressive career from not much else it

16:42

feels like somebody wants to S me

16:47

something I told you he was on to us I

16:50

need some sleep the first thing that

16:52

really struck me as fascinating about

16:54

insomnia was when the opening credits

16:56

informed me that Christopher Nolan did

16:58

not write this film I didn't actually

17:00

know there were any movies where this

17:01

was the case so I paused the film to

17:03

look it up and yeah this is the only

17:05

film Christopher Nolan directed but

17:07

didn't write and watching it you can

17:09

definitely tell because the story is

17:11

told in chronological order and there's

17:13

a woman with agency and plot relevance

17:15

who doesn't die it's pretty fascinating

17:17

seeing him tackle someone else's script

17:19

and for the first hour or so I was

17:21

really gripped by it Al paccino plays a

17:24

cop investigating a murder and it's all

17:26

pretty straightforward until the twist

17:28

comes third 30 minutes in I won't say

17:30

what it is but man I didn't see it

17:32

coming and my mind started racing

17:34

thinking of where this movie was going

17:35

to go was the first 30 minutes just kind

17:38

of a red herring and this is what the

17:40

real focus of the film is well no they

17:43

kind of combine the two plot lines and

17:45

you know it's not bad it's pretty

17:46

interesting on paper but I felt like the

17:48

execution left a lot to be desired to be

17:51

frank this isn't Nolan's best work

17:53

directing wise hell I think it's even a

17:55

step behind his previous film momento I

17:58

really like how this is set in Alaska

17:59

during a time where the Sun never goes

18:01

down a perfect visual metaphor for Al

18:03

Pacino's insomnia but I feel like there

18:05

could have been more creative

18:06

directorial ways to show that he's

18:08

losing his mind from lack of sleep we

18:10

only start to get that in the last 15

18:12

minutes of the movie when they could

18:13

have spiced up a lot more of the second

18:15

half I also cannot stand the way this is

18:18

edited like the action in Chase

18:19

sequences just have so many Quick Cuts

18:21

and it just kind of feels disorienting

18:23

and unprofessional and my last major

18:25

issue is the fact that while I really

18:27

like the performances of Pacino and

18:28

Hillary Swank I'm sorry I just can't

18:31

take Robin Williams seriously as the

18:33

killer I mean it's Robin Williams I'm

18:35

all for actors playing against type and

18:37

surprising you with what they can do

18:38

with a performance but nothing about

18:40

this one surprised me I was never

18:42

intimidated by him I just kept thinking

18:45

oh hey that's Robin Williams he talks in

18:47

a funny way I just could not picture him

18:49

doing the murder he described I'm sorry

18:51

I don't know if that's just a me problem

18:53

and I'm sure he did plenty of other

18:54

great dramatic roles but this just did

18:56

not work for me and it kind of hand

18:58

hampered a lot of the second half of the

19:00

film with that said the first half

19:02

before they meet is pretty airtight and

19:04

engaging well aside from the quick

19:06

editing but that becomes more prevalent

19:07

in the second half overall I'd say the

19:09

pros and cons balance this movie out to

19:12

be pretty great actually it's very un

19:14

Nolan in a lot of ways and it's probably

19:16

one of his least talked about films but

19:18

I think it's very underrated it's got a

19:21

really intriguing story and two out of

19:23

three Great lead performances so yeah

19:25

I'd very much recommend it yeah

19:30

bman I feel like a lot of people just

19:32

don't really know what to do with Batman

19:35

Begins nowadays I mean it's kind of just

19:37

known as the precursor to The Dark

19:40

Knight because that movie has hardcore

19:42

overshadowed everything about this one

19:44

hell The Dark Knight Rises has hardcore

19:46

overshadowed it as well for the wrong

19:48

reasons mostly it just feels like

19:50

whenever people talk about the Dark

19:52

Knight trilogy as a whole the discussion

19:54

almost always centers on the last two

19:57

there's not a whole lot to say about

19:58

about the first one and I have to admit

20:01

I subscribed to this way of thinking for

20:02

a while there you see growing up I loved

20:06

Arkham City I played it on the Wii U cuz

20:08

I didn't own a non- Nintendo system till

20:10

I was like 20 this game was simply the

20:13

coolest [ __ ] and I watched YouTube

20:15

playthroughs of the game that preceded

20:16

it Arkham Asylum just to get an idea of

20:19

what the story was before I jumped into

20:21

the Masterpiece sequel everyone was

20:22

obsessing over finally though once I

20:25

grew up and stopped being a Nintendo

20:27

baby and got a PlayStation like a real

20:29

man I figured what the hell let's

20:31

actually play Arkham Asylum now and I

20:33

just couldn't get into it it was just a

20:35

weaker Arkham City my entire playthrough

20:38

I kept thinking why am I not just

20:40

playing Arkham City now that's the

20:42

downside with really good sequels

20:44

sometimes they're just so good that they

20:47

completely overshadow their predecessor

20:49

and don't give you a reason to revisit

20:51

it and that's exactly how I felt about

20:53

Batman Begins throughout pretty much my

20:55

entire life I saw it as a kid in the

20:57

midst of The Dark Night C sweeping the

20:59

nation but I never felt any real desire

21:01

to rewatch it because like the Dark

21:04

Knight is just this but better why do I

21:06

need to go back to it so with all that

21:08

said finally revisiting it all these

21:10

years later I think this movie is

21:12

incredibly slept on yeah obviously can't

21:15

call it one of Nolan's all-time best

21:17

since the Dark Knight exists but I think

21:19

because of that movie Batman Begins is

21:21

one of Nolan's most underrated works

21:24

it's just a cool solid as hell origin

21:26

story that adapts nearly everything

21:28

about Batman to the real world you got

21:30

to remember this was pretty much the

21:32

first holy serious film adaptation of

21:34

Batman to ever exist well I say wholly

21:37

serious but there's still a lot of

21:38

pretty silly moments in this I guess

21:40

what I mean is that this is the first

21:41

one that's trying to be serious it's

21:44

trying to take place in reality it's

21:46

saying hey here's how Batman would work

21:48

in a serious setting and I think it

21:50

really pays off they take their time

21:52

building up every aspect of him from his

21:55

initial origin to him using his fear of

21:57

bats against his enemy to every Gadget

21:59

he's known for it makes for such a

22:01

cathartic feeling when we finally see

22:03

him all suited up an hour in I also

22:05

think the story is pretty strong and I

22:07

love the way all the pieces for the

22:08

final battle are strong across the

22:10

film's entire runtime Bruce getting

22:13

trained by Ral ghoul and then denying

22:15

him his chance to destroy Gotham is

22:17

seemingly wrapped up in the First Act

22:19

but surprise he's the big bad

22:21

orchestrating everything in the third

22:24

act it's a good twist that works because

22:26

we set him up already he's absent from

22:28

for a lot of the film but we don't need

22:29

to establish his villainous Persona out

22:32

of nowhere at the end we get it we know

22:35

him already I love when movies have good

22:37

twist villains it makes me feel alive

22:40

this movie also has a lot more quips and

22:41

silly moments than I remember and you

22:43

know what I like that it doesn't take

22:45

itself as seriously as our public

22:47

perception of The Dark Knight trilogy

22:48

would suggest this one is occasionally

22:51

Goofy and I think it mostly works and

22:53

doesn't destroy the realistic tone I

22:55

actually really like Katie Holmes as

22:57

Rachel in this out I know maybe this is

22:59

weird to say but she's just kind of

23:01

adorable in this role like it doesn't

23:04

feel like she fits this non-nonsense da

23:06

role very much but that's so endearing I

23:09

just really like it speaking of adorable

23:11

and endearing characters oh Killian

23:13

Murphy I'm so sorry I mispronounced your

23:15

name in my Oppenheimer review I will

23:17

never atone for this I love this guy as

23:19

scarecrow he's just a silly goofy man

23:22

look at his face he's a Goofy Goober and

23:25

I love him oh my God Michael Kane is

23:27

fantastic as Alfred Morgan Freeman is

23:29

Morgan Freeman enough said I think and

23:32

Christian Bale as really compelling as

23:33

Bruce Wayne in this I had trouble taking

23:35

him seriously whenever he wore a suit

23:37

because it's literally just Patrick

23:38

baitman I'm sorry that's all I see but I

23:40

really liked his desire to bring Justice

23:42

to Gotham and his struggle to become a

23:44

symbol for the city I also like how

23:45

Batman feels inexperienced in this hell

23:48

he doesn't even have a consistent voice

23:49

half the time and that kind of makes

23:51

sense he hasn't perfected the Persona

23:53

yet overall I think this is a really

23:55

great film though not a perfect one much

23:58

like like insomnia I think the editing

24:00

is just not very good and it makes a lot

24:02

of the fight scenes incoherent I also

24:04

think the entire chase scene with the

24:06

police was pretty pointless like why

24:08

wouldn't Batman just bring the antidote

24:09

with him in the car instead of just

24:11

leaving it at home is he stupid but

24:13

overall I think the film is wonderful a

24:16

good ass time one with a very different

24:18

story and set of goals than the Dark

24:20

Knight and as a result I don't think it

24:22

deserves to be in its shadow it's an

24:24

amazing origin story for the character

24:26

and an important stepping stone for 's

24:28

career I think it deserves more credit

24:30

as its own great film rather than just

24:32

being the one he made before the Dark

24:34

Knight it's great I really like it

24:37

moving on okay we're halfway through

24:40

time for a goofy skit that transitions

24:42

into the sponsorship portion Batman it's

24:45

me Bane curse you Bane you're garbage

24:48

that kills for money that is where you

24:50

are wrong Batman I run a reputable

24:53

Chiropractic business for money and do

24:56

you know what I used to make a website

24:58

it for my business let me guess

25:01

Squarespace aha that is where you are

25:04

wrong Batman I use Square oh yeah

25:07

actually you got it in one good job uh

26:21

dream it's in a dream right if the Dark

26:23

Knight is the movie that made Nolan a

26:25

superstar filmmaker Inception is the

26:28

movie that cemented him as a legend

26:31

everyone from average movie goers to

26:33

ciles was talking about this movie when

26:36

it came out it's awesome mindboggling

26:38

premise Stellar execution in both its

26:41

direction and editing an instantly

26:43

iconic score that resulted in countless

26:45

memes about the Han

26:47

Zimmer it was Nolan's first film to be

26:50

nominated for best picture and while it

26:52

didn't win that's perfectly

26:53

understandable since it had a ton of

26:55

competition Black Swan True Grit Toy

26:57

Story 3 The Social Network it was a

27:00

pretty stack lineup to say the least huh

27:03

all these movies lost too I wonder who

27:04

the actual winner was the King speech

27:07

who well whatever even though the

27:08

academy deemed Inception to be not as

27:10

good as a boring stuffy completely

27:12

forgotten movie from the director who

27:14

would go on to make cats 2019 I think

27:16

Inception is pretty neat and that's all

27:19

that matters I almost don't really know

27:21

what to say about it cuz like everyone's

27:23

talked about it in incredible detail and

27:25

its best attribute is pretty obvious

27:27

it's just a really cool premise which is

27:30

maybe a little similar to Satoshi Khan's

27:32

paika but uh let's not worry about that

27:35

speaking of this movie being incredibly

27:36

similar to a Japanese work Inception is

27:39

about infiltrating people's subconscious

27:41

in order to steal things and change

27:43

their minds while also coming across

27:46

cognitive versions of people that person

27:48

knows in the real world H suspicious I'm

27:52

on to you Atlas you hack frauds you owe

27:54

Christopher Nolan an apology anyway yeah

27:57

I love heist movies and this is a heist

27:59

movie on Aderall each layer added makes

28:01

the story way more enticing to follow

28:03

and it's really a mark of some

28:04

tremendous editing that the story is

28:06

even possible to follow with all this

28:08

going on good job Lee Smith you edited

28:11

the movie real good the story is also

28:13

great at introducing new Stakes like out

28:15

of all the guys to get shot in the first

28:17

layer it had to be the one Leo needs to

28:20

make a phone call and get him back to

28:22

the United States Oppenheimer just had

28:24

to have super secret mental training to

28:27

defend his subcon conscious the Feats

28:29

these guys have to accomplish to make

28:30

the plan work get increasingly more and

28:32

more insane as the film goes on and it

28:35

just leaves you on the edge of your sea

28:37

I also think the story with Leo and his

28:39

wife is really compelling and a solid

28:41

emotional hook in the midst of all this

28:43

craziness however the movie isn't

28:45

exactly as perfect as I remember it

28:47

being when I was 13 I kind of find a lot

28:50

of the supporting characters in this to

28:52

be a bit Half Baked and unmemorable like

28:55

Tom Hardy's character is kind of funny

28:58

but not really I think Elliot Pig's

29:00

character is a good anchor for Leo's

29:01

emotional Journey but not really much of

29:04

a character outside of that Leo and

29:06

Killian Murphy's characters are the only

29:08

ones I feel like I really learn much

29:10

about and like is the lack of character

29:12

for the team in a heist movie really

29:15

that big a deal no not really we spend a

29:17

lot of time with them so I do wish they

29:19

were more distinct I also think we

29:21

really take our time to get to the heist

29:24

which is fair we got to explain the

29:25

whole concept of incepting and whatnot

29:27

but there's still a lot in the first

29:28

hour that feels like it doesn't need to

29:30

be here like the whole chase scene in

29:33

mumbasa kind of felt like a studio

29:35

mandated action sequence since we can't

29:36

let the audience get bored but once the

29:38

heist does get going it's pretty

29:40

incredible and I ultimately can't

29:42

complain about that much else it's not

29:44

among my all-time favorite Nolan works

29:46

anymore but it's still like a 9 out of

29:48

10 this dude's filmography is stacked oh

29:51

and since so much of the discussion

29:52

surrounding this movie involves its

29:54

ambiguous ending without spoiling

29:56

anything I'm going to give my take on it

29:59

yeah I think the top falls over I mean

30:00

like think why wouldn't it but why did

30:02

Nolan cut the scene before showing that

30:05

is it totir up discussion among the

30:07

general populace about the ambiguity of

30:09

this film's conclusion now see I think

30:12

it was because he ran out of film to

30:13

make the movie cuz he spent it all on

30:15

the special effects so he so so there

30:17

was no more film to show the top falling

30:20

over but hey that's just this is the

30:23

magic trick huh illusion Michael I never

30:26

got around to checking it out until now

30:28

but I was always very interested in the

30:31

prestige all I knew was that it centered

30:33

around an intense rivalry between two

30:36

magicians and like that just sounds

30:38

really fun after watching it yes I can

30:41

confirm this is a very fun movie hate to

30:43

sound like a broken record but once

30:44

again the nonlinear storytelling works

30:47

wonders in terms of feeding you

30:48

information and allowing Nolan to wow

30:51

you with the trick later on this isn't a

30:53

spoiler cuz it's the beginning of the

30:54

movie but we start out with Christian

30:56

Bale drowning huge Jackman before we

30:58

flash all the way back to show how their

31:00

Feud escalated to this point but having

31:03

just seen momento I knew this couldn't

31:05

be it there was absolutely more to this

31:08

that Nolan wasn't telling me so I

31:09

remained invested the whole time as I

31:11

tried to piece out clues in order to

31:13

figure out what trick Hugh Jackman would

31:15

eventually pull and how he was going to

31:17

do it and the answer was pretty wacky it

31:20

wasn't what I was expecting but that's

31:22

cool even if it has no basis in reality

31:25

the movie makes you believe it could

31:27

happen Happ within this reality on top

31:30

of that the opening establishes that

31:31

Christian Bale has a daughter with no

31:33

one to look after her immediately making

31:35

you wonder where her mother is and

31:37

watching the scenes with that character

31:38

in the past you assume Hugh Jackman is

31:40

going to make her disappear at some

31:42

point based on what happened earlier but

31:44

then your expectations are subverted and

31:46

with a lot of the knowledge you acquire

31:48

in the ending you start to realize damn

31:51

Christian Bill's character is really

31:52

fued up for not being more open with his

31:54

wife about what's going on and Hugh

31:56

Jackman's character is really fed up for

31:59

well I tell you but I don't want to give

32:00

away the trick the entire movie is just

32:03

watching these two depraved men become

32:06

more and more insane in the pursuit of

32:08

their art and the pursuit of ruining the

32:11

other it's fairly simple at least by

32:13

Nolan standards but man is it riveting

32:16

the whole way through I'm very excited

32:19

to rewatch this knowing how Christian

32:20

Bill's final trick works plus in general

32:22

it's just a great time it doesn't quite

32:24

hit the same mindblowing Heights as some

32:26

of Nolan's most iconic work plus I think

32:28

the Scarlet Johansson character is

32:30

really underwritten and I would have

32:31

loved to see her fall for baale on

32:33

screen instead of just telling us she

32:35

fell for him wow an underwritten woman

32:37

in an Nolan movie I'm shocked but for

32:39

the most part a damn fantastic film what

32:43

other movie can make the claim that they

32:44

have David Bowie playing Nicola Tesla

32:47

name a single other movie with David

32:49

Bowie as Nicola Tesla or else I will

32:51

have hug Jackman show up to your magic

32:53

show with a gun and shoot you I can feel

32:56

time for one consistent thing across

33:00

Christopher Nolan's filmography is the

33:02

fact that his movies do not aim to make

33:05

you cry now that's totally fine his

33:07

specialty is obviously impressing you

33:09

with the scope of his visuals and the

33:11

elaborate ways he uses the concept of

33:12

time to enhance his plots and the

33:14

reveals within them but what if I told

33:16

you he made a movie that not only

33:18

accomplished both of those things but

33:21

also managed to tell an absolutely

33:23

devastating story about The Power of

33:26

Love family and human connection that

33:29

transcends the boundaries of time and

33:31

space I mean you probably already know

33:33

about it right Interstellar is one of

33:35

Christopher Nolan's most popular movies

33:38

and I've seen a lot of mixed opinions

33:40

about it through the years hell my own

33:42

opinion on it was pretty mixed I saw it

33:44

when I was 16 I thought it was good but

33:46

not great and I never checked it out

33:48

again until this ranking and I don't

33:50

know what it is about this rewatch but I

33:52

was kind of floored almost the whole way

33:54

through by it it's pretty much the only

33:57

Crystal for Nolan film where the

33:58

emotional core takes Center Stage he

34:01

usually uses the connection to and loss

34:03

of a loved one as a jumping off point

34:05

for his main character's motivations the

34:08

loss of his wife motivates Leonard

34:09

Shelby the loss of his life and

34:11

inability to see his kids motivates Dom

34:14

Cobb the loss of Rachel motivates Bruce

34:16

Wayne to just sit at home for 8 years

34:18

eight [ __ ] Years bro are you serious

34:20

who wrote this [ __ ] while these

34:22

motivations and tragedies are there they

34:24

typically aren't the focus of their

34:26

films in Interstellar is Nolan's first

34:29

truly emotion-driven piece everything

34:32

ties back to the relationship between

34:34

Coupe and murf separated across time and

34:37

space the First Act perfectly

34:38

establishes their connection and the

34:40

Betrayal murf feels when her father

34:42

chooses to leave her in order to try and

34:44

secure a future for her oh and also he

34:46

has a son I I actually think it's kind

34:48

of funny how much less he cares about

34:49

seeing his son again but it stings every

34:51

single time murf expresses how much her

34:54

dad didn't care about her or assumes he

34:56

left her on Earth to die there's that

34:58

moment towards the middle that just

35:00

makes me SOB where Coupe watches the

35:02

video logs of his now grown children

35:04

unable to communicate with them because

35:06

time has literally slipped away from him

35:09

and then of course there's the catharsis

35:11

of the ending which I guess if you

35:13

haven't seen this movie yet I won't go

35:14

too deep into but wow is it worth

35:17

getting to the powerful elements of the

35:19

story of course are only one piece of

35:21

the puzzle here this also contains what

35:24

are bar nun the best visuals of

35:26

Christopher no 's career absolutely

35:29

Vivid and breathtaking images of space

35:32

the way they Bend and contort in such

35:35

beautiful ways I don't think it's a

35:36

stretch to call this visual poetry and

35:39

they pair so nicely with Han Zimmer's

35:41

simultaneously elegance and intense

35:44

score I was just in awe during numerous

35:46

sequences throughout this film and I so

35:49

thoroughly regret that I didn't see this

35:51

in IMAX when it came out I don't like to

35:53

judge a film by the standards of it

35:55

needs to be seen in a theater to get the

35:57

full experience ience because like a

35:59

film should be good no matter where you

36:00

watch it but watching this film at home

36:02

I was completely floored by the visuals

36:05

so I can only imagine how stunning it

36:08

would have been on an IMAX screen for

36:10

about an hour and a half there I was

36:12

pretty much on board with everything

36:14

going on the story the characters the

36:16

performances hell Matthew MC gave a

36:19

better performance in this movie than

36:21

whatever he won the Oscar for the

36:22

previous year that should have gone to

36:23

Leo and Wolf of Wall Street everything

36:25

was pretty much perfect for a while

36:28

there but then there's Dr man this

36:31

character is where the movie kind of

36:32

lost me a bit and I feel like it

36:34

wouldn't have as many problems with him

36:36

if he was just named anything else this

36:38

is kind of The Natural end point of some

36:40

of Nolan's UNS subtleties as a filmmaker

36:43

having the guy who represents

36:44

selfishness and betrayal just be named

36:48

man but on top of that he's just kind of

36:50

an underwhelming antagonist I mean the

36:52

guy is just a complete idiot not

36:54

thinking of a better way to dispose of

36:56

Coupe trying to dock anyway even though

36:58

he doesn't know how he's just kind of a

37:00

pathetic roadblock we have to deal with

37:02

before we get to the actual climax in

37:04

the Tesseract and I just feel like a

37:06

scientist and Astronaut like him

37:08

wouldn't act this dumb he might have

37:10

gone insane from being alone for so long

37:12

but he seems pretty normal and well

37:14

adjusted very quickly after they wake

37:15

him up so I don't know I just don't like

37:17

him that much as a character a lot of

37:19

folks take issue with the ending in the

37:21

Tesseract and like yeah it's not amazing

37:25

it kind of takes a pretty big leap in in

37:27

terms of believability which I know is a

37:29

weird thing to say about a sci-fi movie

37:31

but Nolan telling you oh yeah

37:33

fifth-dimensional beings from the future

37:35

built this thing so Matthew mccon could

37:37

explain the mechanics of a black hole

37:38

through Morse code in his watch you

37:40

really have to trust that these entities

37:42

you never see are out there divinely

37:45

intervening to make the plot work and I

37:47

suppose I can believe that but it

37:49

doesn't necessarily feel as natural as

37:51

everything else in this film but I will

37:54

admit it might be kind of corny but I do

37:57

like the fact that love is the

37:59

quantifiable thing that allows Coupe to

38:01

reach murf I think it kind of ties the

38:03

themes of the film together and it's

38:05

really sweet I don't know don't judge me

38:08

Interstellar isn't going to be

38:09

everybody's cup of tea I imagine some

38:11

people don't think it's colder sci-fi

38:13

elements really mesh well with the

38:15

sentimental human story at its Center a

38:18

lot of people have compared this film to

38:20

2001 of Space Odyssey for obvious

38:22

reasons but to me strictly in terms of

38:24

tone it makes me think a lot more of AI

38:27

or artificial intelligence I can

38:29

Overlook its flaws because at the end of

38:31

the day the warm and Powerful emotion

38:33

present amidst such a cold and Bleak

38:36

premise is simply too engaging to ignore

38:39

I love Interstellar wholeheartedly and

38:42

it took a rewatch to come to that

38:43

conclusion to let go of my skepticism

38:46

and simply allow myself to be taken in

38:49

by a visual Masterwork with a beautiful

38:52

story of a father and daughter separated

38:55

but not apart working together together

38:57

to save Humanity simply fantastic in

39:02

every sense of the word but you tell Dr

39:04

man he'll never eat lunch on this planet

39:06

again my bomb they killed people does

39:10

not [ __ ] say that and

39:15

Oppenheimer okay

39:18

yes

39:20

yes best picture baby it's honestly not

39:24

hard to see why this is the first of

39:26

Nolan's films to to be a major Awards

39:28

darling it's his first film to be based

39:30

on a singular real person one of the

39:32

most important people of the 20th

39:34

century at that and yet despite the fact

39:37

that Nolan has to adhere to history and

39:39

not make up something from scratch that

39:41

doesn't stop him from employing his

39:43

usual non-linear storytelling techniques

39:45

to amazing effect this movie simply

39:48

would not be as interesting if

39:50

everything was told chronologically if

39:52

we didn't get that back and forth

39:54

between OPI building the bomb and

39:56

getting grilled for his communist

39:57

sympathies in the present day and like I

39:59

alluded to in my initial review this

40:01

structure makes for such an engaging

40:03

reveal when it turned out stross

40:05

organized the entire hearing out of

40:08

petty Revenge speaking of reveals

40:10

related to the hearing I love how you

40:12

spend so much of the three-hour runtime

40:14

asking yourself why is he being

40:16

subjected to this which transitions into

40:19

why is he subjecting himself to this

40:21

once you realize he's just renewing his

40:23

security clearance and he doesn't need

40:25

to and then a single line in the ending

40:30

recontextualizes everything you just

40:32

watched did you think that if you let

40:35

them T and feather you the world would

40:37

forgive you [ __ ] man what a perfect way

40:41

of reflecting oppenheimer's copy

40:43

mechanism with what he's done even after

40:46

Truman morally let him off the hook he

40:49

can't wash his hands of his involvement

40:51

in this atrocity unless the government

40:53

publicly disavows him and was it worth

40:56

it no man Kitty was right building the

40:59

most horrific weapon in the history of

41:01

the world is an unforgivable sin and

41:04

even though the last scene of this film

41:06

takes place before the hearing

41:07

chronologically I think in this moment

41:10

he knows his actions cannot be undone he

41:13

destroyed the world and Einstein is

41:17

pissed what an amazing ending and that's

41:20

on top of the sheer number of other

41:22

amazing scenes in this strauss's

41:24

meltdown oppenheimer's hallucinations

41:27

The Truman scene Kitty clapping back

41:29

against Roger Rob the discussion on

41:31

where to drop the bomb and perhaps the

41:33

best directed scene in Nolan's entire

41:36

career the Trinity test unreal I was

41:41

shaking in my seat in the theater during

41:44

that [ __ ] time and time again you get

41:46

the impression that this is the most

41:48

significant and important film Nolan has

41:52

ever made the subject matter plays a

41:54

large role in that but the execution is

41:56

what really seals the deal in that

41:58

regard the entire film is coded with

42:00

intense Quick Cuts to Atomic Concepts

42:03

racing through op's brain and Ludwig

42:05

Goron's masterful everpresent score that

42:08

enhances the dread of every scene it

42:11

plays over I also feel as if I haven't

42:13

giving Killian Murphy the praise he

42:15

deserves for this performance any other

42:17

time I've talked about it he's

42:19

unbelievable in this perfectly

42:21

transitioning from a cocky arrogant

42:23

genius during the first half into the

42:25

emotional wreck he becomes later on you

42:28

simply can't look away from his

42:30

performance He commands the screen in

42:32

every scene he's in what a truly

42:35

exceptional film in so many ways plus

42:38

they even let Josh pek be the one to hit

42:40

the button for the bomb I'm sorry I'm

42:42

not over that how did he get into this

42:44

movie I saw someone say that he has

42:46

great 1940s face and I agree okay so

42:50

you're probably wondering why this movie

42:51

doesn't top this list or my best of 2023

42:54

list well as amazing as so many moments

42:57

of this movie are I am of the opinion

43:00

that overall the film is a little too

43:02

long I'm not opposed the longness for

43:05

example I don't think there's anything

43:06

you should cut or trim from killers of

43:08

the flower Moon and that's longer than

43:09

this but I feel like some stretches of

43:11

Oppenheimer could have been trimmed when

43:13

they're in the process of building the

43:15

bomb itself I didn't think every single

43:17

one of those scenes was necessary and

43:19

the film Lost me for a little bit until

43:21

opy says Hitler's dead and it starts

43:23

gripping me once again and on rewatch

43:25

while the last hour of the film is

43:27

absolutely fantastic it also probably

43:29

could have been a last 45 minutes or so

43:32

instead after a while you get the idea

43:34

with this hearing and there's only so

43:36

many ways these guys can ask are you a

43:38

communist Oppenheimer are you it's a

43:40

little repetitive but to be fair that's

43:43

kind of Representative of McCarthyism

43:45

just this cyclical NeverEnding Witch

43:47

Hunt that only has one outcome well

43:49

despite my minor gripes with it I do

43:51

think this is an amazing film and

43:54

perhaps Christopher Nolan's most

43:55

culturally significant work to date

43:58

right up there with the Dark Knight

44:00

again you can attribute some of that

44:02

significance to barbon Heimer one of the

44:04

coolest cinematic events I've ever been

44:05

alive for but now that that dust is

44:07

settled and we've started to judge

44:09

Barbie and Oppenheimer on their

44:10

individual merits I think the sheer

44:13

weights and power of Oppenheimer cannot

44:16

be overstated this will be one of

44:19

Nolan's most iconic pieces of art for

44:22

years to come and I'm so intrigued to

44:25

see what he could possibly follow follow

44:27

this up

44:30

with don't you just love it when you

44:32

watch a critically acclaimed and iconic

44:34

movie for the first time and then it

44:35

just completely lives up to the hype

44:37

you've been hearing about it for years

44:38

momento is everything I hoped it would

44:41

be and more all I knew about it was the

44:43

fact that the scenes play in reverse

44:45

order ooh that Christopher Nolan he's

44:47

such a Scamp when it comes to playing

44:49

with time on paper it seems like this

44:51

would remove suspense from the story

44:53

since you see its outcome in the very

44:55

first scene spoilers for the first first

44:57

5 minutes of momento he shoots the guy

44:59

we know where everything's headed and

45:01

yet you can't help but wonder how we got

45:04

here and you can't help but suspect

45:06

there's something darker underneath the

45:09

surface here the movie delivers pieces

45:11

of its story with no indication of what

45:14

leads to each piece happening a

45:16

brilliant reflection of the protagonist

45:17

short-term memory loss it also makes for

45:19

a story that engaged me the whole way

45:21

through since every single scene made me

45:24

ask what happened before this I got

45:26

another no combining the

45:27

non-chronological events with the

45:29

chronological story Leonard tells is an

45:31

excellent Touch Too it provides

45:33

necessary breaks from the reverse plot

45:35

line making each of those segments sink

45:37

in for a bit and it's also compelling in

45:39

its own right I didn't necessarily know

45:42

how it tied into everything else going

45:43

on but then it all came together in one

45:46

of the most truly insane reveals I've

45:49

seen in some time I won't dare spoil it

45:52

if like me you haven't seen this film

45:54

yet and don't know much about it it's

45:56

just so strong so consistently gripping

46:00

the entire time even before the

46:02

mind-blowing ending ties everything

46:05

together I really love the performances

46:06

of Guy Pierce and guy from The Sopranos

46:09

the editing is really strong you know me

46:12

I'm a sucker for good editing and aside

46:14

from the sheer visceral thrill of

46:16

piecing the story together I found

46:18

Leonard's inability to cope with his

46:19

Affliction so fascinating and tragic his

46:22

refusal to do anything else with his new

46:25

life is just so f up man it is so hard

46:28

to talk about this movie without

46:29

spoiling anything but if you've seen it

46:31

I think you know what I mean bottom line

46:33

is I'm just in all of it its concept its

46:37

tone its themes everything just comes

46:40

together to make the exceptional

46:42

sophomore effort that put Christopher

46:44

Nolan on the map watch it it's

46:48

[Music]

46:51

Peak all right let's cut the [ __ ] you

46:53

know exactly what number one is it's the

46:55

damn dark nights perhaps the single most

46:59

iconic and influential movie of the

47:02

2000s some of you might be a little too

47:04

young to remember this but when this

47:05

movie came out the world went nuts it

47:09

was everywhere everyone young and old

47:12

casual viewer and copile alike was

47:15

obsessed with this movie and completely

47:17

in awe of how good it was we were

47:20

talking about it quoting a ton of the

47:22

Joker's dialogue especially why so

47:25

serious and I even disly remember

47:27

finding a video that takes the Dark

47:29

Knight trailer audio and puts Monsters

47:31

Inc footage over it let's put a smile on

47:34

that

47:36

face but someone else made that how did

47:39

I react I was 10 when this came out and

47:41

I think this was the first great new

47:44

film I ever saw that wasn't just an

47:46

animated Pixar or DreamWorks movie this

47:48

was the first film that made me say wow

47:51

now that was a movie I was obsessed with

47:55

it you better believe I dressed up as

47:56

Batman that Halloween when I got an

47:58

assignment in my middle school digital

48:00

media class to film a recreation of a

48:02

movie scene you better believe I would

48:04

film an embarrassing remake of The Joker

48:06

pencil scene using random stuffed

48:08

animals I had laying around when I

48:09

started to get into acting during my

48:11

middle school plays I would recite a ton

48:13

of the Joker's monologues in this film

48:15

just to practice getting into a

48:17

character this movie had a hold on me

48:20

but when it comes to this list I wasn't

48:22

ready to just hand it the number one

48:23

spot and call it a day I thought this

48:25

and Inception were going to be the top

48:27

two based on my childhood feelings that

48:29

they were just perfect movies but upon

48:31

rewatch with my adult sensibilities I

48:33

didn't like Inception quite as much as I

48:35

remembered but this movie n man this

48:38

earns the number one spot it's kind of

48:41

unreal how much almost everything here

48:44

holds up from an adult perspective Nolan

48:47

made a movie that could feasibly be

48:48

someone's favorite film of all time when

48:50

they're a child and then have it remain

48:52

their favorite film of all time

48:54

throughout their entire life that's how

48:56

good it is okay I'll be fair though no

48:58

movie is perfect and I think the

49:00

consistently worst thing about this film

49:02

is the [ __ ] Christian Bale Batman

49:04

voice we know it we love to make fun of

49:06

it it's just really bad it kind of works

49:08

if you view Batman as just this insane

49:10

Menace who beats the [ __ ] out of people

49:12

but if you ignore the Bruce Wayne

49:14

persona it's kind of impossible to

49:16

endear yourself to a protagonist who

49:18

sounds like this all the time where are

49:20

they but the reason I don't think that's

49:22

a major issue is because this isn't

49:24

really Batman's movie but we'll get to

49:27

that in a bit first let me air my other

49:29

issue out I don't really like how the

49:30

use of mass surveillance in the ends to

49:32

catch the Joker Goes uncriticizable

49:56

an ology you could say that Batman goes

49:58

into Exile after this but that's not cuz

50:00

of this crime it's cuz he's taking the

50:02

fall for dense crimes I'm just not

50:04

really sure what Nolan was trying to say

50:06

with the effective use of something so

50:08

similar to a certain controversial

50:10

American political act but I suppose

50:12

Oppenheimer is indicative of his

50:13

political maturity nowadays so I guess

50:15

it's fair to not fixate too much on this

50:17

portion of the film okay now to explain

50:19

why the Dark Knight is Peak simply put

50:22

this film does not let up it's such a

50:24

masterful crime Thriller in the sense

50:26

that there's no downtime that's not to

50:28

say it's all non-stop action and

50:30

suspense the characters do get chances

50:32

to reflect on what's going on but the

50:34

thing is you just never feel safe

50:37

watching this movie you never get to

50:39

fully catch your breath after any of the

50:41

Joker's insane schemes cuz it's never

50:44

too long before he's on to the next one

50:47

the way the film is structured makes it

50:48

consistently engaging throughout its

50:50

entire runtime I genuinely will never

50:53

understand how some people will claim

50:54

that this movie is boring whenever the

50:56

Joker isn't on screen like did you just

50:58

sleep through most of the movie or what

51:00

it's so fascinating seeing people's

51:02

response to Relentless terrorism and

51:04

watching their ethical boundaries get

51:06

pushed further and further watching

51:08

Harvey D consistently get propped up as

51:10

a status symbol only for this plan to

51:12

come crashing down once he gives into

51:14

his urge for revenge is intense and

51:16

engrossing I love how Nolan can take a

51:18

character as inherently silly as Toof

51:21

faace and make him work in a realistic

51:23

setting by applying compelling

51:25

commentary on morality to him I love how

51:27

the noble lie Batman chooses to adopt at

51:29

the end in order to protect D's

51:31

reputation is directly paralleled by

51:33

Alfred choosing not to tell him the

51:34

truth about Rachel's intentions the

51:36

scene where Rachel gets blowed up is so

51:38

intense as you see her accept in that

51:40

moment that she's going to die even

51:42

though Bruce was trying to rescue her

51:44

like damn I know I said I really liked

51:46

Katie Holmes in this role but like

51:48

Maggie Gyllenhaal is just objectively

51:50

better I got to admit I love all the

51:52

excellent quotes that have reverberated

51:54

in pop culture you either die a hero or

51:57

live long enough to see yourself become

51:58

the villain some men just want to watch

52:00

the world burn I think they're pretty

52:02

self-explanatory this movie doesn't

52:04

exactly have the densest themes or

52:06

messages they're pretty simple and yet

52:09

insanely effective this was one of the

52:11

first times a comic book movie really

52:13

felt like it was saying something about

52:15

the state of the world and it's so

52:17

gripping as a result but with all that

52:20

said yeah we got to talk about the star

52:23

of the show here I think it's fair to

52:24

say that Heath Ledger and as the Joker

52:27

is the single most iconic performance of

52:30

the 21st century so far something really

52:34

shifted with this performance everyone

52:36

was just blown away by how thoroughly he

52:38

embodied this conniving chaotic clown

52:41

and it's honestly on the level where I

52:43

look at him and I don't even see a

52:45

performance like that's just the Joker

52:47

man he completely disappears into the

52:50

character and makes him seem like this

52:51

Unstoppable force of nature he can't be

52:54

reasoned with he just wants to watch the

52:55

world bird etc etc I just love the fact

52:58

that he has no history in this universe

53:01

no former Identity or origin whatsoever

53:04

it's like he just spawned into existence

53:06

one day to psychologically torment

53:08

whoever he feels like the image of him

53:10

is effortlessly terrifying and yet he's

53:12

just so funny at the same time it's a

53:15

very different interpretation of the

53:16

Joker than usual but they get his

53:18

Essence so right there's really nothing

53:21

I can say about this performance that

53:22

hasn't already been said like it's the

53:24

Joker baby you know just how incredible

53:27

and how influential this performance is

53:30

and like honestly what else can I really

53:33

say about the movie It's stood the test

53:35

of time as one of the most beloved and

53:38

talked about films in recent memory

53:40

sorry if I sound like a normie for

53:42

saying Nolan hasn't topped this one but

53:44

that's just how I feel he hasn't this is

53:48

my favorite live-action comic book movie

53:51

and my favorite Christopher Nolan movie

53:55

so that's my l list anyway to summarize

53:58

Christopher Nolan is pretty cool he

54:02

makes awesome movies they're smart and

54:06

stuff but also they have a lot of action

54:09

and they're epic now but seriously I

54:11

really am impressed with how thoroughly

54:13

he manages to grip General audiences

54:16

everywhere with more intelligent films

54:18

than the average Blockbuster a lot of

54:20

smart movies with interesting themes

54:22

continue to come out but your average

54:23

movie goer probably doesn't go see them

54:26

so it's nice to have at least one

54:28

popular filmmaker who manages to put out

54:30

thought-provoking work most of his

54:31

movies aren't the deepest thing in the

54:33

world but they're a good Gateway for

54:35

people to get interested in deeper stuff

54:37

while also being pretty excellent films

54:39

in their own right I hope Nolan keeps

54:41

doing what he's doing and I'm really

54:43

excited to see what comes next for him

54:45

that's pretty much it thanks for

54:47

watching H well a actually there is one

54:51

thing that's kind of been nagging at me

54:53

for months now you see in oppenheim

54:56

we see Einstein at three different

54:59

points in time the first point in time

55:01

at the beginning but also the ending of

55:03

the movie he has a silly hat on it even

55:06

blows off in the wind that's cute the

55:08

second point in time when Opie first

55:10

asks him about those calculations he's

55:12

also wearing an even sillier hat nice

55:16

but the third time we see him when he

55:19

gets out of that one car he's not

55:21

wearing a hat guys you don't understand

55:23

he can't just not be wearing a hat he he

55:26

he's Einstein that's his thing alongside

55:29

eal mc² and the time and apple fell on

55:32

him and he invented gravity the fact

55:34

that Christopher Nolan has the goal to

55:36

depict this man without a silly hat in

55:39

one of these scenes is just obscene what

55:43

is his problem did you steal this hat

55:46

off of Einstein's head you [ __ ] I bet

55:49

you did or maybe this scene was

55:51

depicting Einstein before he got into

55:53

silly hats in which case how was I

55:55

supposed to know that you've gone too

55:57

far with your nonlinear storytelling

55:59

this time you hack you need to answer

56:01

for this crime against Cinema and if no

56:04

one else is going to make you do that I

56:07

will so to conclude this video it's time

56:10

to take you to court Mr Nolan you stand

56:14

here accused of not only theft but

56:16

wasting away the audience's Goodwill

56:18

with aspects of your confusing nonlinear

56:21

time progression how do you plead

56:26

not talking huh that makes sense since

56:28

you're just a PNG of his head very well

56:31

until you can atone for your

56:32

transgressions I sentence you to

56:35

director jail you shall never work again

56:38

due to the consequences of your previous

56:41

film's failure take him away oh you

56:45

watching closely wait did that disembody

56:48

PNG head just

56:50

speak ooh a map to treasure everybody

56:53

wait here while I go pursue this a few

56:55

inches later all right let's see what I

56:57

can

56:58

find huh it can't be that madman what is

57:04

he

57:06

done he made a bunch of silly hats for

57:09

Einstein not giving him one in that

57:11

scene was just a Misa oh my God Nolan

57:15

you genius I'm sorry I ever doubted your

57:18

brilliant method of Storytelling forget

57:20

director's Jail from now on you can make

57:23

anything you want as your next film go

57:25

ahead pitch me

57:29

anything you know what that's on me I

57:31

should have set some boundaries

57:34

um good night TR state

57:39

area out everybody so I wanted to

57:41

interrupt for a second because I wanted

57:43

to talk about something related to

57:45

momento doesn't have to do with the

57:46

movie itself but it has something to do

57:48

with one of its physical releases which

57:50

I think has to be one of the coolest

57:51

DVDs I've ever seen and I think you all

57:53

need to know about it that of course

57:55

being the special limited edition first

57:57

things first I really want to talk about

57:59

how this thing is packaged it's supposed

58:00

to look like a case file for ledition

58:02

and I think that's just a brilliant way

58:04

to design it they went all out with this

58:06

and I got to give them props for that

58:08

not only just for the packaging it just

58:09

gets even better with its discs because

58:12

when you put them in you're in for

58:13

Something Completely bizarre and unlike

58:15

any other DVD for any other film this

58:18

might be one of the most strangest but

58:20

yet creative DVD menus I've ever seen I

58:23

could go on about its menus and how to

58:25

guide through them because it is kind of

58:27

bit complicated especially for disc 2

58:29

but if you are curious there is a oh

58:32

good lord 40 7 Minute walkthrough video

58:37

of this limited edition and most of it

58:39

it has to go with this 2 because that's

58:41

where the bonus features kick in if

58:43

you're ever wanting to own momento

58:45

physically I highly recommend buying

58:47

this DVD I think it has to be one of the

58:49

best ver of releases of momento ever at

58:51

least DVD wise and just one of the best

58:53

DVDs ever it's one of the biggest Prime

58:55

reason why I love momento and why it

58:57

means so much to me and what it's given

58:59

to me all right I think I'm done

59:01

rambling here I'm going to let James

59:02

wrap up this ranking and I'm going to

59:04

head off to play Zeno gears Baby Woo

59:08

[Music]

59:23

[Applause]

59:26

oh
