I liked TDK myself as well as Inception. Hell TDK is my 3rd favorite Batman movie. But I've run in to so many people that have praised it to hell and back that I may come off sounding a little jaded towards it. Seems like Inception is following the same path. Like Oscar worthy? Really? But again, if Avatar and The Hurt Locker can be nominated and win...Maybe Inception and Dark Knight should be in there too. :) Momento on the other hand...that movie didn't get enough praise. Yes, there is a major flaw with that movie too. How does a man with short term memory loss remember that he has memory loss? But once one accepts that little loop hole, the movie is sublime... |
I think it's certainly oscar worthy. It's a far fucking better movie than The Goddamn Blindside which got nominated for best picture last year. I hate people who do that. By adding the word "really" you are implying that it is poposterious that this film could even be considered oscar worthy. That in itself is rediculious if you know anything about the current state of the academy. Obviously. Don't try to make the phrase "oscar worthy" seem like some unobtainable goal. That shit is ALWAYS relative, and look at some of the movies that are far shittier than inception from the past, that WON BEST PICTURE. Even in a good year this film would be nominated for something, and so far, it certainly is the best live action film yet released in 2010 imho.
I'm a bit shocked actually, that anyone from this forum would share enough of my interests to be able to debate me on something like this, but you seem bound and determined to push your opinion to the point of sheer irritation, so I'll further respond.
You implied earlier that this film has no characterization, and even proclaimed that I must either not know what that means, or have not seen the film. You've been rather free wheeling with your spoilers, but I won't be, because I'm not that kind of guy. I've seen it. I know that all the characters weren't fully realized due to time constraints. However, the characters that were realized, were EXCELLENT. Most notable, Fischer came through as a surprising delight, and of course Cobb was fucking epic. That said, I meant to speak generally about how great and subtle the character development is. This is NOT anime. This is high level movie making, and you have to actually draw a lot of conclusions here, but again, the character development is top notch. I am fully invested by the crescendo.
IMO, Nolan has shewn himself to be a fantastic director. He has yet to make a shitty film. Inception is possibly his best one yet, and I fucking loved it. That being the case, it certainly is oscar worthy, because I don't love anything. I think we'll see at least a nod for best director since we're probably pulling from 10 and we haven't seen anything even remotely close yet, but who the fuck cares. The academy is genre biased, and irrelivant.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
