Fuck (and I cannot emphasize this enough) fuck Timothy Chalamet. He is always so wooden. He can't act for shit. Hes just a very pretty nepo baby.
Also, can we count film makers? I hate Christopher Nolan. Every movie he makes is such a torturous slog. They are all metaphors for their own creation, and everyone of them is too concerned with the machinery, like hes pretentiously drawing attention to it. "GET IT? IM MAKING A MOVIE? IM A FUCKING GENIUS!"
Tenet frustrated me. You could tell that there was a good movie there but the sound mixing was horrible and the execution was lacking.
While I agree with you, I have heard two things that I think are important to know.
The early pirated versions were especially horrible, as the audio was mixed for the big screen.
Intentionally muddying the dialogue is a well known movie technique. Often used in scenes or situations where the actual spoken words aren't important. For example, I remember seeing an old movie once where this guy is dumping his GF down by the docks, and most of his words are inaudible due to fog horns from ships, and his (ex)GF covers her ears. Where Nolan failed was that in that fog horn example it's obvious that it's intentional. In Tenet, on the other hand, the masqing audio is usually part of the soundtrack, so it just sounds like an awful mix. Tenet made me adjust volume constantly because I felt I was missing something. I liked the movie, though. Except that scene didn't even closely resemble Oslo airport.
I also wish Nolans movies did not have such an insanely wide dynamic audio range. First you're listening to actual important dialog, then your windows shatter from the sound of movie gunshots.
I saw it as an AMC A-List subscriber diring COVID twice as the only person in the theater. I sat in the best seat in a place that had redone theor soubd system 1 year before and it was rough.
Im not sure there are better circumstances to view it in for the average person.
I remember the 2021 film. The whole thing was in black and white apart from when the character saw actors or something because the film industry or acting industry brings light to the world or some pretentious point. Like just let me watch my historical film in colour
I agree on both. Chalamet is a dickhead. Word was he was a one man Chlamydia vector at NYU.
And I don't get the Nolan worship either. His movies are okay, but not one of them is in my Top 10, probably not even in my Top 20. I don't think I've ever seen any of them more than once. I just never found them compelling enough to want to see it a second time.
