Does 'Oppenheimer' finally tell us that Nolan isn't a Tory?

The upcoming epic thriller based on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.

Nolan's MAGA crowd in full meltdown and denial that he's leftist.

... wait so this is not a meme, people actually ever thought Nolan was conservative ? wow.
I think Nolan tends to go for more of a nuanced read in his stories rather than preaching an agenda. And regardless, his movies often are about obsessive and overly ambitious men who go through great lengths with their missions at the cost of others around them which is hardly a right wing thought.
Good point. Agree with you. But in my land "obsessive and overly ambitious men who go through great lengths with their missions at the cost of others around them" is how the leftist call the conservatives... LOL.

His films are neither right nor left :lol: Internet people who politicize and overinterpreting everything are the worst. I bet somewhere there is a youtube essay why Jackass is a allegory based on Friedich Nietzsches nihilism.

By Hollywood standards, yes... Especially after TDK, TDKR, Dunkirk and TENET (the controversy of non-postponement). Where I live most leftwing people don't like him very much. The people further to the rightwing are always praising his work. Believe me. Here everything is politicized now.
Literally zero understanding how Dunkirk can be seen as a nationalistic or right-wing film. The non-postponement of Tenet is also not his doing.

Per usual it's projecting/looking for issues that aren't there.

I still see people no matter what forum I go to that think Nolan was the mastermind behind forcing Tenet to be release. I see 'he wanted to be the savior of cinema' constantly. I just shake my head.

Yep. Completely a media-made accusation. WB pushed the movie out, Nolan didn't object, and let the media run with the idea that it would "save cinema". And when that didn't happen, they essentially threw Nolan under the bus by letting him drown in the bad press.

Which led to him smearing them when they fucked over their entire lineup of filmmakers in 2021.

Nationalist? Definitely not. But some people here understood it as a more conservative view.

People nowadays are taking right wingers and conservatives as nationalistic.
That's funny and terrifying and the same time.
