They show the prologue even here in Bulgaria.... wtf. This is the first time they show Nolan's prologue here.

This! I felt the same watching it. I can't describe it.DHOPW42 wrote: ↑December 20th, 2019, 4:21 amI agree that it's incomprehensible but - weirdly - I don't think that it works against the effect it wants to have on you. There's so much going on in it in such a condensed way, it's really an energy bomb. There's no time to breath, really, everything just moves forward as fast as hell, and it really got me when I was watching it (the bootleg). And I got tons of questions after seeing it, but... I guess that is kind of the point. I'm not sure how it will play out in the context of the film, but right now I really feel it as opposed to understanding it, if you see what I did there. And... I really enjoy looking at it and experiencing it over and over again. It's one of the more intense action scenes Nolan has directed, if not already in Top 3 for me - it's surreal how intense and fast-paced and truly gripping it is.
Like something insidious is going on but you don't know what. The subtlety of it relaxes you in an odd way.Maximillian wrote: ↑December 20th, 2019, 5:17 amThis! I felt the same watching it.

Well, the question of perception of violence in movies is not this one-sided, so there's a lot to this to explore and discuss - but I still find it pretty weird that anyone would genuinely be stressed out by a terrorist scene in a movie that is shown in an IMAX theatre - a place you only visit to experience films in the largest and loudest way possible.blackColumn wrote: ↑December 20th, 2019, 6:42 amThat audiences are unnerved with a scene from a PG13 movie is in itself remarkable.
Netflix keeps showing 18+ blood and gore and yet nobody bats an eye anymore (it lost its novelity over time). Same with Deadpool 2 - after a while you just don't care.
Fear is subtle.
