I can understand him fooling normies and plebbitors

But why in the hell is he getting praise from other filmmakers like Scorsese, Tarantino, Chazelle, Edgar wright, Herzog, Cameron, Soderberg, etc...?

How is this fraud tricking experienced filmmakers?

The entire community is built on building your network. You strengthen relationships with compliments. So these directors support one another so they can lengthen the amount of time they can stay in this business while remaining successful.

You've never succeeded at anything so building a network is beyond your comprehension. Your only social network is between yourself, your mother and maybe a postal worker.

Tarantino has terrible taste

All those people have iphones

I would agree with you if the list was some no name shits trying to move upwards in the industry. What would someone like Herzog or Cameron or Tarantino gain from licking up to Nolan? All of who either work in different level in the industry or broke out before him.

Herzog shat on Godard ffs.

maybe Yas Forums contrarians are in the wrong

Because Nolan isn't a fraud. Guide for filtering through Nolan and his films.

>Nolan is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time/21st century etc....
Normies, redditors

>Nolan is overrated
Redditors trying to act cool by being contrarian to other redditors

>Nolan is a hack/fraud
Brainlets/redditors trying to fit in on Yas Forums

>While Nolan is not as great as some of his fanboys claim, he is still one of the better filmmakers working in the big budget category today and I would have him over the MCU.

True patricians.

I think maybe because he's been highly commcerically succesful and allowed creative freedom to make likeable cerebral blockbusters that earns the respect of neighbor directors. He finds unique performances in well known actors and has great trailers.

This does not prevent him from being an overrated hack fraud. Also comparing with MCU is no comparing at all. He is better than garbage, he might still be bad. Also true patricians don't watch MCU or have seen 3 films max and realized it's not worth their time.

>one of the few guys making successful original films
>shoots on actual celluloid instead of falling for the digital meme
>prioritizes principal effects and photography over lazy green screen
>even made capeshit respectable

they like him because he's fucking based, you don't because you're a contrarian faggot with shit taste

On the flip side. He has a role in the rise of the MCU today. Jon Favreau admitted he was inspired by Batman Begins to do something with gravitas and so made Ironman the way it is.

Iron Man is a good movie. Disney buying Marvel gave us the shitty em see you

His films look like shit. Doesn't matter whether you shoot digital or film if your films look like a wet fucking concrete. Someone like Pedro Costa does amazing things with digital.

this

fuck contrarians

So you like one dishonest cinematography over another? How brave?

>dishonest cinematography
>digital bad reeeeeee
Fucking autist. I will rather have well shot digital film (not very common) than badly shot celluloid. Also digital is better in some conditions.

Where did I defend Nolan or badly shot celluloid? This is why vidya manchildren shouldn't be allowed here.

He's getting praise for what he is, the only post 90s AAA mainstream high budget blockbuster director who still has some respect for the older traditions, ie shoots on film instead of digital, uses practical effects instead of CGI, tries to elevate his movies by injecting a semblance of visual elegance and thematic thoughtfulness that's absent from equivalent productions in this category, reaching this level requires an incredible ability to negotiate with studio executives and dealing with Hollywood politics, you essentially need to be an excellent diplomat, not only be a hard working or talented director. He makes crowd pleasing movies that plebs and critics alike love and because of his immense success on franchise movies he's also the rare filmmaker who gets huge budgets to do his own non-IP projects that still find great success on his name alone. Like him or not, he's the last of a dying breed.

You didn't. You called digital dishonest. Yes video game manchildren are all familiar with Pedro Costa.

Michael Bay works on similar scale and is much better and more intelligent director.

You guys don't actually understand film making.

Extremely based post

Yeah everyone is in cahoots and you're the sane one here. Sure dude.

You wouldn't get it.

The Prestige and Interstellar are masterpieces.

>actual celluloid instead of falling for the digital meme
What's the difference between the two?

So basically % based on merit? No wonder movies suck these days.

No I called Pedro costa's cinematography dishonest. Yes it's an aesthetic that appeals to vidya gamers.

Bay also gets respect from his peers for being able to make the most bombastic movies ever, but Bay doesn't go for the middle/highbrow angle and instead embraces the lowbrow vulgarity. Bay's more natural with visuals undeniably but his editing is also atrocious and his films have no understanding of storytelling, no beauty, no humanity because he only cares about moments and set pieces like the ads/MTV director he was trained to be, which definitely clashes with the respect to older traditions I was talking about. I don't know how you can have triple digits IQ and not find most of his films tiresome and ugly. Mindlessly hating on Bay is another reddit contrarian but overly praising him or calling him "more intelligent" is another form of retarded contrarianism. He's just the retarded child of Tony Scott whereas Nolan is more of a less competent but more diplomatic Cameron.

and /thread

He's a perfectly fine middlebrow director.

It's a sign of autism if you think everything has to either be a genius revolutionary medium defining masterpiece or absolute irredeemable horseshit with nothing inbetween.

name a single other director who is making +200 million dollar budget original films right now

this sums up the nolan love/hate relationship

... what did they say ? backhanded compliments?

Because he's making entertaining films independently. He's probably the only guy in Hollywood besides Villainova who can do that rn. It's rare, and other directors recognize that. It's not that his films are any good, just that he is fighting endlessly against The Mouse. He also supports film and contributes to keeping Kodak alive. He's morally good just artistically shit.

No, actual compliments and praises. All of them.

Dunkirk is Tarantinos second favorite film of the 2010s, and he watches like 500 films per day every day.
