About Christopher Nolan

I don't quite understand the strange phenomena of cinephiles hating his films so nonchalantly. How could someone hate a film maker who's so tied to creating cinema at its purest form? It baffles me that people can't simply just let his films wash over you. Sure, he has yet to make his masterpiece and many of his films are flawed, but he's hardly a terrible film maker.

Cinema at its purest form? What the fuck does that even mean?

Actually, he's already made his masterpiece (Memento), and another near-masterpiece (The Prestige). Cinephiles hate on him because his only movies that have actually made money (the Batmans, Inception) are all good but flawed films, though they are universally adored by fanboys, and therefore tend to end up near the top of the IMDB top 250. People are idiots.

Actually, I do understand. I am not a fan of his works. He is just all about plots.

The phenomenon is quite simple to understand -- there are certain people out there who have the audacity to hold a different opinion about Nolan, finding his work pretentious and cold and boring. Simple, really.

Mind-benders like Kiarostami's "Close-up" and "Certified Copy" show a great insight into the world and humanity, bring enlightenment, sharpen your senses, dazzle and educate and so on. Next to him, Nolan is a boy playing with expensive toys.
