I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It's like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 36 points 1 month ago

The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I'm pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.

The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don't know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to "if you have to ask, you're not sophisticated enough to understand".

Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren't thinking about it hard enough.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 12 points 1 month ago

I'd say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it's a fable about power and greed.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds good to me, thanks

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Tenet is pretty much about power and greed too. Sator's greed for power. And hatred for the world we live in.

The backstory of him being helped (and commanded) by people from the future who want to reverse time because we fucked up the planet and therefore life in the future is shit, is pretty much just about climate change.

The movie wasn't that deep tbh. Nolan throws in some time inversion stuff for the wow factor and because it looks cool, but tbh it's just "let's blow up the world to fix a big problem" (classic case of a villain with a relatable goal) vs the good guys with "the world has loads of people living in it, we can't just blow it up".

Personally I liked it. Don't think it was a cinematic masterpiece you need to be incredibly cultured to understand or anything though.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

He's still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious.

I don't either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

My point is the art house people love the dark Knight too.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Apart from sound design, I had no problems with Tennet. Insomnia was more pretentious.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

That's definitely a new take.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

Tenet was fucking cool as shit, call it what you want, person who probably never made a movie.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What movie did you make?

Or are you the only one that's eligible to have an opinion?

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And as is typical the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

my kind of movie! ye of dimwit status be warned.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

it's a retelling of the fall of rome set in modern new york city.

it's alright, wow platinum (plaza) was amazing.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

i think the trailer makes it pretty obvious. i feel like people are making more analogies to trump and musk that are kinda ridiculous. it's like how populist characters in film used to be compared to Julius Caesar; like sure that's apt but also stfu and listen to the story.

also plazas ass is so nice.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Keep on farming. Content has to come from somewhere!

[-] dubious@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

because you don't feed the viewer biases. like good music, it can be interpreted in many ways. let the viewer decide for themselves. if the viewer is too dimwitted to draw their own conclusion, then let them fuck off as dimwits should.
