I must say that my interest in comics came at an unfortunate time because nearing the end of the semester, this newfound medium is only acting as a distraction, preventing me from working diligently on the work at hand. But at the same time, it is always nice to find new interests.<\/p>\n
~<\/p>\n
On to Interstellar. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like it that much. Not that it was a bad film by any means. But it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t anything exceptional. I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t write this with a summary, so as not to have any spoilers.<\/p>\n
For the most part it felt as if Christopher Nolan was just way too ambitious with this film. The film was way too long and I felt as if it could have ended at one point but it just kept going. Having a run time of almost three hours, it feels as if Nolan has studio execs by their balls at this point, given the fact that they allowed him to release such a long cut of his film.<\/p>\n
Also, does Christopher Nolan have to try and blow people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s minds in every single film he makes? More importantly, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help but feel that people say their minds are blown after watching a Nolan film because they \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcshould\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 say so. I was always fascinated by the visuals but probably the most mind blowing film I have seen from his filmography is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Memento\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Inception\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Interstellar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201cmaybe the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Prestige\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. But even then, I find it hard to really jump on the Nolan hype train. There is something about his movies that feel almost too clean for me (I have no other way of describing it as of yet).<\/p>\n
I mean I still enjoyed the Dark Knight trilogy and his other films that I listed, but they are by no means my favorite films of all time.<\/p>\n
Also, please, why do people have to talk so much during this movie, perhaps I was with the most obnoxious audience, but throughout the movie, there were constant oohs and aahs and questions being whispered. So annoying.<\/p>\n
I think Nolan needs to dial back on his stories and bring it back to smaller budget films and focus heavily on story.
\nInterstellar was fine, but it is no \u00e2\u20ac\u01532001: A Space Odyssey\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Nolan tries so hard to tie up the ending in a nice knot and provide an easy answer to the questions brought up in his movie. But what made 2001 such an amazing film is that Kubrick did not provide an answer. I still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what the ending of that movie means. That is why it is amazing, because it never fails to challenge me and get me thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
