Re: "Oppenheimer" Reviews Discussion
Don't usually post my writing on here but pretty excited to share my essay into Oppenheimer for Bright Wall/Dark Room's end of the year issue: I. “The Burial of the Dead” It’s July of 2023 and I’m pulled to the screen like gravity, watching a gaunt face with piercing eyes study a dance of ripples in...

Re: Tenet Reviews/Reactions [Possible SPOILERS]
I don't really post much anymore, but I just wrote an essay for Tenet I'm particularly proud of for Bright Wall / Dark Room so I thought I'd share it: Tenet was never going to be the savior of cinemas. Christopher Nolan’s impressionistic sci-fi action love-story is the most abstract, challenging, fr...

Re: Oppenheimer - General Information
I won't speak for the majority of people, just myself. I know what the Trinity test looked like. That's what I was expecting. I'm not even talking about frame of reference or scale, just shape and form. This shot is the main culprit... https://i.imgur.com/LNTwTDM.jpg Thin and pointy. The "thin and ...

Re: Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography
imax absolutely does not limit nolan to working with hoyte at all. in fact, the only time hoyte ever has anything to do with the camera is when he’s operating during the takes or rehearsals. the camera is built and looked after by his camera assistants and imax techs and lugged around by the first ...

Re: Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography
Deakins has just kind of evolved into a digital guy. If you look at any of his interviews since SKYFALL or so, he gives plenty of reasons, but honestly, as wonderful as the guy's work usually is, I am not impressed with his digital stuff, because it does look digital (have covered several films he ...

Re: Box Office
It won't happen, but the fact we're even talking about it as a non-insane possibility speaks to the borderline unprecedented (this century, anyway) run Oppenheimer's been having regardless.

Re: Lingering Questions [Spoilers]
Virtually the entire "color" portion of the film plays out as a memory of Oppenheimer at the time of the hearing. There is only one scene after that which, chronologically, is the 'end' of the movie, IE him meeting Kitty. Arguably, the flashforward is the chronological "end," but it depends whether ...

Re: Oppenheimer - General Information
Not surprised to hear some are preferring 15/70mm to 70mm, because a lot of the visuals take on a more vertical dynamic than most of Nolan's other 1.43 experiments. Even seeing it in 1.90 liemax single laser this week, I hugely missed that verticality, especially the atomic sequences and, of course,...
