Not saying it's wrong to see how his recent films have come during during some kind of important period, TDK and Rises came out during election years even, but using this platform to say something that'll help make people more scared, paranoid and afraid, especially in a film related forum, is super irresponsible.
Is it really irresponsible to make an observation about how Nolan's recent films coincide with unfortunate events? And I said possibly.
I didn't mean to scare people, but they should be worried about the future of the world as these events unfold. The thought of what this release is going to be like next year amidst all of this chaos crossed my mind and I shared it here.
I wrote the post half jokingly, and if anyone should be scared it's me as I live in a country sandwiched between the two countries in conflict. And I've seen rockets fly out in the atmosphere with my own eyes on a casual walk - something I've never experienced in my 29 years in this world. The chance of nuclear fallout of any kind reaching me is higher than ever - but this is a conversation for another thread.
So, forgive me if I take a small jab at the irony of the universe.

Apologies, the problem is with me, not you. Even if this isn't the specific platform to where it's expected someone would bring up something like that, it's not as if it was off topic to the point you were making. I just need to be even more offline if something like this, that could be said by anyone, affects me so much.
Failed to take into account that you'd feel fear too, was selfish of me. It was my own paranoia and mental health speaking in that instance.
The only thing I'll disagree with is that I don't think anyone needs to feel worry when they've got living their own lives to worry about. More trivial matters, yeah, but more important to do something with the time you have.
Emotionally I don't think I was wrong, but again the issue is not with you but with myself. I need to log off and focus on helping myself and avoid feeling like this because I've never had an interaction like this on this forum before........

Perhaps I was harsh or insensitive. I truly didn't mean that and I apologize.
I guess when you spent as much time on the internet as I have, jokes of that kind are all over the place and you kind of get desensitized to them. Dark humor.
No one should spend their days scared or paranoid about an event like that but what I meant is you can't escape these discussions or exposure speculation about the worst case scenario of what is happening around the world.

You can do your best to escape it.
Anyway, to bring it back round.........Oppenheimer also came out when AI was thrown into the mix and Dunkirk was post 2016 which alone made some of it's themes hit home a little more. Even Memento came out during an election year like with TDK and TDKR.
As for Insomnia, BB, Inception and Interstellar, those feel like exceptions since I don't remember any kind of true events that felt like it tied into the movie indirectly.

Yeah. A lot of interviews with Nolan during the Oppenheimer junket were about AI.
I think Tenet and Oppenheimer specifically got the short end of the stick, particularly actors not being able to promote the films. We missed on a lot of fun. So fingers crossed for The Odyssey.
If Oppenheimer hadn't been like that, I would think an R rating for this movie would seem very unlikely but since it's a different reality we have then I believe it's very possible for this film to get it. Whether those rumors are true though, I don't know. Nothing official yet it seems so I would say just wait.
