Match Cut Directors Consensus -- Christopher Nolan

[dreamdead]

And we're on Week 41 of the consensus, which means that it's time to rate up Christopher Nolan. Bring the hyperbole, bring the hate, but most of all bring the scores, ranking his earliest work to his most recent work.

Not a fan of his remake of Erik Skjoldbjærg's Insomnia, as the Nordic film has such a more intricate psychological ambiguity to its characters.

[Sven]

Memento - 6.5 (despite its lack of replay value--each time it gets more and more ludicrous--I admire the film's creative impetus)
Insomnia - 7 (much more interesting than the Norwegian film, which is probably better but is too oblique for my tastes)
Batman Begins - 3 (total balls)
The Prestige - 4 (balls + 1)
The Dark Knight - 3 (same old balls)

I haven't seen it since it came out, but the flaws of the second one seemed more pronounced, especially all the hero worship (that drove me friggin nuts this time around). Maybe it was easier to ignore those flaws the first time. That Begins score could drop if I watched it again now.

[Sven]

I think Begins is more coherent narratively, as well as having overall better performances. Oldman, who was hollow in the first, is but a lame wisp in TDK. And as silly as Neeson and Murphy were, their grandeur outdid Eckhart's blandness and Ledger's monotony. Freeman is reduced to a Patriot Act commentary in TDK, whereas he was slyly amusing in BB.

However, TDK wasn't entirely ugly-looking, so they balance out.

Still, that sonar ridiculousness is enough to make me consider a lower position for it. Yeesh.

I think there's much to be said for origin stories personally. I quite enjoy the emotions engendered by that specific element of assuming the role of the hero... both in Begins and the original Spider-man. The Dark Knight and Spider-man 2 do up the ante well but I find there's a mythic quality to origin stories that raising the bar sequels tend to lack... the same could be said of The Matrix as well (although the sequel didn't succeed spectacularly on other levels also).

The one thing that Sven is dead-on about is the Freeman subplot in the second film. That was really, really lame.

Yeah... Very true. I just saw all the silliness beforehand. I even said that when I initially saw it.

But still, "Stir it Up."

[Qrazy]

Nah it worked fine conceptually (as a cool if impossible idea... it would be sweet to have bat sonar) and allegorically although not scientifically. It's much less ridiculous or lame than the penguin rocket pack ending of Batman Returns.

[Ezee E]

To try and justify anything by comparing it to Batman Returns (which I like) is almost helping Spinal/Sven's cause.

[Qrazy]

How so? Sven loves Returns and doesn't like The Dark Knight so when we're talking about levels of ridiculousness it seems like an apt comparison to me. Then if it becomes a discussion about tone and the defense is Burton's film is already ridiculous but Nolan's is striving for 'realism' my reponse is not especially. Nolan's film is striving for a heightened realism but not absolute realism. I can swallow Bat cell phone sonar and water evaporation devices if I feel they serve sufficient allegorical and/or narrative purposes and I feel that they do in both cases. Sure the science and logic is faulty but in terms of genre comparisons I don't see that it's much better anywhere else. These things are worthy of critique but no more or less than most gadgets in Bond films and other superhero adventures. If the devices brought up issues with internal logic that would be one concern but it seems like we're primarily discussing ridiculousness in relation to real world logic here.

[Sven]

Again, not to belabor the point because we've walked down this road before, "lame" is fine because it doesn't mean much on its own, but to pin "ridiculous" on penguin rocket packs is practically a compliment to Burton's bonkers vision, which is *wince* aiming for ridiculous. The somber tones with which Nolan approaches such tomfoolery moves the film from ridiculous to sheer preposterousness. It is, in its incapacity to handle its material justly, worthy of derision (or at least reprobation), whereas Burton's film, where the cartoony content is handled with appropriately cartoony form, is worthy of applause.

[Bosco B Thug]

Yeah, the Morgan Freeman character is really awkwardly inserted into TDK.

[Sven]

...but it seems like we're primarily discussing ridiculousness in relation to real world logic here.

Not really. My biggest complaint is the way in which Nolan's camera, in a move of absolutely nonsensical showboating, sweeps through the "sonar world," illustrating the geography of the building in which Batman and the baddies are playing their little hostage game. I wouldn't've had too much of a problem with it if Nolan had presented it in a way that wasn't pure techno-geekery for its own convoluted sense.

However, I am aware that much of my criticism addressed in the earlier post mentions a "ridiculousness." Let me point out that this "ridiculousness" is in the presentation and not at all in the object itself, although the object itself is certainly nothing but a poorly-constructed plot device (much like Bond's invisible car) considering how detailed the building and its guts were in sonar mode and how few people were actually inside the building to provide sufficient coverage to create such specific images.

This post compelled me to read the review, and while it's hyperbolic in its praise, Chaw strikes me as a pretty good writer.

I do think it's a superior film, but I'd hesitate to call it the best of the year, let alone best since Godfather II (itself a moot point, because Godfather II is inferior to Goodfellas).

That to me seems precisely like a real world problem. If you're willing to accept the technology and the idea that Bruce could auto-upload it to all these cell phones and that the terrorists wouldn't have removed the cell phones from the hostages (which in some ways strikes me as the biggest stretch... because who wants a hostage to phone for unwanted help). But if you can accept all this for the sake of the privacy issue allegory, for the tension created with Lucius, for Batman character development as an increasingly morally ambiguous character, and for a scientifically stretched but interesting use of sonar (the primary hunting method of Batman's namesake)... If you accept the earlier concerns then I don't see it's that much more of a stretch to accept the high rendering of the environment via the sonar. The primary difference between this stuff and invisible car-esque shenanigans is the sonar at least serves a potent thematic and character/narrative purpose.

Yes, all of this is a real world problem, but it is not my biggest concern. It is merely a poor element of the film (I am unable to accept the privacy issue as a potent theme of the film given its cursory treatment, nor am I realistically able to accept the idea of a high-detailed rendering from, what, at most ten phones, all on one floor of the building).
