I haven't seen Insomnia, but the lead guy in Memento? lol he was about as blank of a slate as is possible. No one watches Memento for the lead. joe40001 posted... He's not that bad at characters, he might be bad at certain human emotions but that's different. It's not so bad that it makes the films unwatchable, and he definitely makes up for it in other areas. But yeah, many of his characters have a tendency of declaiming and talking about themselves in a way that is just a little too aware of who they are. I think a perfect example of Nolan screenwriting excess is the scene where Alfred is talking about the jewel thief in Dark Knight. It isn't awful, but no human being talks like that and always has a jewel thief anecdote to freely share. His characters don't sound natural. joe40001 posted... I've decided I'm just going to make a video essay about my feelings on the movie so I might hush up until then. I'll have to watch Dunkirk first. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
