I disagree. Michael Mann obviously, but I don't see Scott much in TDK. It's beyond words really, but when I watch TDK I get a very.. 2001 feel. A lot of panning, a lot of wide's, a lot of longer cuts, the main thing is that Kubrick famously lets his shots really breathe, you absorb the image, and that sets the mood, tone, everything. Nolan did the same with TDK.RIFA wrote:Still far from being a Kubrick. TDKR looked more like a Ridley Scott/Michael Mann film more than anything. Kubrick is still a far land for Nolan.
Those longer shots look more like Scott's long shots than Kubrick's. Kubrick doesn't have long shots. He has the LONGEST. I can't really see that much of Kubrick in Nolan. It doesn't really matter if the shots are long if the decors and setups are not on the same level. That's why I think it's more of a Scott feel than Kubrick.Vader182 wrote:I disagree.

This isn't coming out well since obviously all director's use the image to get mood across, but this is so much more specific and.. I dunno. Kinda get what I'm saying?

Personally, I've always preferred Mann and Scott's style to Kubrick's style. More than anything else, I think the influence of Blade Runner/Heat suits his stories.RIFA wrote:Still far from being a Kubrick.

The shots in TDK were going at 300 mph, they had little chance to breathe. But Nolan and Pfister did a great job of making absorbing yet swift photography.Vader182 wrote:I disagree.
