The anti-DEI crowd claimed the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong’o would sink the film.
A personal caveat: While the mental gymnastics of the right-wing are as ridiculous, as they infuriating; it also needs to be said that Christopher Nolan is anything but a leftist. This article here does a good job to delve into Nolan’s political bend.
Nolan pushed hard to fuck over pre vaccine COVID restrictions to get people to spend 2 and a Half hours in a closed space so his film can be shown in cinemas.
Watch his films in the shittiest form factor possible.
The difference between cosplaying as a fascist, which western consumers tend to despise, and actually behaving like one, which those same consumers reward with open wallets and high praise.
Nolan has alienated more than a few A-list actors with his directing style. He’s got a work-product which constantly glazes militarism, valorizes authoritarianism, and takes itself far too seriously to afford room for a bit of humor. After that, he’s just Michael Bay minus some explosions. Brilliant cinematographer. But the underlying work never fails to disappoint.
