I just finished Killers of the Flower Moon and found that to be terribly overrated (even more so than the Irishman!). Marty is still good, but I think if people watched the same exact movie without knowing it was Marty (and without fawning over DiCaprio and DeNiro) they would've thought it was good but not great or oscar worthy. Oppenheimer, by comparison, was amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stands out the most is just how awesome Nolan is at taking nerds for suckers. He's an illusionist and I think he admitted it with his actually best movie, The prestige. Most of his other films are all different versions of the Prestige, where he presents you something real and then once you are convinced he swaps it out for regular, rote Hollywood BS. Inception: Draws you in as a deep minded psychological sci fi thriller, gets resolved with fisticuffs and snowmobile fights. Interstellar: Authenticated with Neil degrasse physics babble, ends with a C3PO one in a billion black hole action sequence and closes with the same intellectual depth as the more honest 5th Element. Oppenheimer: Promises a nuanced reckoning about the morality of the atomic bomb, oh wait no, it's just about the morality of the guy who made the bomb. An entire hour long 3rd act dedicated to his ouster of the science community and nary a mention of the actual damage created. But hey that's Downey Jr (the new jack Nicholson) pounding a desk with a bad wig and Matt Damon just barely kept a straight face telling us this is the most important thing ever, so must be serious stuff. He does it over and over again. Gets the nerds all nerded out, but ultimately feeds us low brow BS so emotionally hollow he needs to drown your ears in noise to create any connection whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Finally watched it. Never getting those 3 hours back 😢 overhyped, way too long, and a parade of cameos bad actors. Barbie won by far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one fell swoop they got Nolan on what might be his 4th or 5th most memorable film, Downey Jr with maybe his worst performance of all time and Cillian Murphy a fine bloke and terrific actor who kinda just played himself with an american accent. Barbie was robbed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I say that as a huge Scorcese fan boy, who thinks Nolan is overrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie and Poor Things were my favorites so i guess I would have voted for those to split the big awards (100% would have given director to Greta gerwig). Oppenheimer was a mixed bag with an awful ending and Flower Moon was ok I guess. Anatomy of a Fall is super overhyped tepid drama. American Fiction and Zone of Interest are the ones i'm looking to watch but haven't gotten to. No interest in the Holdovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
