Yes, the idea of making movie for good directors is delivering a message and Nolan has never failed in that aspect. Nolan is a better filmmaker than Kubrick but Kubrick is more intelligent, not by much though.

You can not compare directors with Da Vinci. Kubrick is one of the greatest, that's for sure. He has his own style and to compare him with Nolan in that aspect is absurd.

People, people, this is utterly absurd. He is clearly more like a male Sofia Coppola than a less Asian Ang Lee.
Best to get it back on topic.ComptonTerry wrote:Is it really that bad that this has gone off topic? There's tons of pages of reviews here way back in this thead, and there haven't been so many new ones so we dont know what to do right now. We're waiting for a new batch. In the mean time where just people talking on a forum dedicated to Nolan and essentialy rambling about Nolan and film. But perhaps you are right, maybe it's gone too far. Perhaps it should be moved to some other thread at this point. I don't see the harm but if it's starting to piss multiple people off then maybe we shodd move it somewhere else or forget it and get back to the topic.
I hate new users.

75-80 = 2001, A Space Odyssey (Kubrick was showing off too much and forgot the story, it's style over substance and it suffers from an extreme LACK of exposition, unlike Nolan's films which sometimes have too much...)
Holy shit. This is one of the greatest things I've ever read. Seriously, has anyone ever in human history more missed the point of something than this right here? It's marvelous.
And that's my cue to exist this holocaust of a thread.
Oh, it will piss people off. But the question is when?ComptonTerry wrote:Is it really that bad that this has gone off topic?

The point is, yes 'A Clockwork Orange' is a memorable, unique, daring movie and a classic but so is Inception. Why is it so important to have a Nolan v Kubrick war?
Because everyone gets their panties in a wad anytime that someone dares try to knock a 'legend' from the mantle/pedestal...Or even suggest someone of current time period should be placed alongsidejethrojulian wrote:The point is, yes 'A Clockwork Orange' is a memorable, unique, daring movie and a classic but so is Inception.
