There is a very strange thing about Nolan that other film-makers are struggling to do. For example
Tony Scott's films
Domino and
Spy Game received criticisms for their complex structures. And
Domino was both critical and commercial failure, probably because of its complex narrative. Yet somehow Christopher Nolan makes complex movies all the damn time, while also making a lot of money doing so. Even the so called "box office flop"
Tenet did actually quite well. And also considering it was literally released during the height of the pandemic, where nobody was going out to see a movie in the theater, this movie is probably the biggest magic trick Nolan ever made. Remember
Tenet is probably the most complex film from Nolan.

Christopher Nolan was developing his spy movie
Tenet for decades before its release in 2020. In 2014 Nolan already was fully in the writing process on the script. While the general public didn't know much about the project, other filmmakers, including the French director
Luc Besson probably could know something about it. And so trying to beat Nolan at his own game, Besson quickly wrote and directed his own spy movie with a palindrome title:
Anna.

Often it is required of a storyteller to say less in order to say more. Steven Spielberg had to censor the most gruesome parts of the holocaust in order to make a movie that was actually watchable, and his intuition was arguably right. The movie ended up being a hit, exposing millions upon millions of people to the the holocaust. But it wasn't the horror. It was a watered down version, made so people would not be too upset watching it. The reality of the situation was so much worse that Spielberg didn't even think a movie showing the actual truth was possible. Nobody would be brave or masochistic enough, he thought, to actually see it. A similar story happened to Dunkirk, another World War II movie, this time by Christopher Nolan, who deliberately avoided the worst aspects of a war film to make a film which the audience could watch without taking their eyes from the screen, and as a result, a film that is arguably scarier because of that. Nolan's masterful management of tension is so good that the movie doesn't need violence and blood to be visceral. And yet, to some extent the movie is a watered down version of what war supposed to be. And some argue it is a lesser film because of it.
Caught Stealing 2025 is a bit dark for a comedy, but way too bright for Aronofsky

Vincent D'Onofrio pops up on my radar lately. I somehow get attracted to the same movies as the actor, which probably means that I need to review
Full Metal Jacket by
Stanley Kubrick, where D'Onofrio had his, probably, most iconic role. In any case D'Onofrio played an Ashkenazi Jewish gangster motherfucker in a
Darren Aronofsky 2025 film
Caught Stealing. Something that I had to see, just based on the absurdity of it.

Eden 2024 is very interesting in context

In the summer of 2025
Sydney Sweeney made a controversial, seemingly Nazi-propaganda advertisement for a Jeans brand that claims that she "has great Jeans" ( which is a pun for "genes" ). Being a blue-eyed sexy blond woman, made the "genes" pun quickly interpreted as a endorsement of eugenics. And a lot of people on the conservative side equated her "huge tits" to the "death of wokeness". While people on the left decided to attribute her success with her sex appeal, almost accusing Sweeney with sleeping with executives, to become famous. And yet despite all this,
Ron Howard's 2024 thriller
Eden ( which is starring Sweeney ) has
Ana de Armas at a role of this super-hot lady that sleeps with men to get what she wants.

Déjà Vu 2006 is Tony Scott's Minority Report

Tony Scott famously didn't care about the time travel plot of
Déjà Vu which freaked out the writers of the film. As they said, he cared more about the action and surveillance aspects of the movie. He famously cared a lot about surveillance, as visible from his previous
Jerry Bruckheimer collaboration
Enemy of the State. And that means, that a sort of sci-fi surveillance movie, marks
Déjà Vu as the closest thing Tony Scott did to
Steven Spielberg's
Minority Report.

I don't remember when was the last time I had watched a movie so strong that my mind literally cannot stop obsessing over it. Being on a
Luc Besson marathon I discovered that there is a misunderstood film which Besson wrote together with
Guy Ritchie, which was directed by Ritchie, which is called
Revolver. The 13% score on Rotten Tomatoes, in my opinion is there just because the critics were literally too dumb, or too insecure, for this movie. Or because this is something the Ritchie and Besson literally wanted to achieve. If the film became a hit, or was well received critically, the message of the film would not have worked as well as it does.

RoboCop 1987 foreshadows a lot

There are ( at least ) 3 types of movies: Corporate bullshit, like the shit Disney produces now a days, which for some reason are popular as heck; smart films with a strong message, which win awards but fail at the box office; and the third type: a film with a message, disguised as corporate bullshit, to trick the audiences that it's the shit they wanna see, while actually being the shit they need to see.
Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film
RoboCop is from the third type.

From my review of
Drive you probably know that I like the taste of
Nicolas Winding Refn's cock. And in this review I will be sucking his cock once again, while drooping saliva all of his masterpiece
Only God Forgives.

In my review of
Babylon I claimed that it was 1941 of
Damien Chazelle. But there is one filmmaker that makes 1941s all the time. And his name is
Michael Bay.
