Oppenheimer (2023)
A haunting and beautiful piece of story telling.
This is the pinnacle of modern filmmaking; everything from the stacked cast, the acting, the cinematography, the brooding score, and the editing all shines through and immerses you into the world of Julius Robert Oppenheimer. It's the culmination of Nolan's success; everything he's achieved has led to this moment, and my goodness, what a beautiful, haunting ride it was. It captivates you from the very first frame and doesn't release you from its vice-like grip until the end, leaving you speechless, in awe, and haunted by what you experienced.
This is Nolan's magnum opus, and the timing couldn't have come at a more opportune moment. It's a film that everybody NEEDS to watch. You'll walk out of the cinema a changed person, guaranteed.
The Dark Knight (2008)
It's not Nolan's crowning achievement, people.
The film gets far too much praise because of Ledger's untimely death. Ultimately, if he were still around, I can guarantee you that this film wouldn't have cult-like status. TDK reminds me of Fight Club in this regard. Great movie, but it doesn't deserve to sit where it currently stands in the rankings. People are emotional beings who, regrettably, will seek consolation in emotional reasoning. It's a great film that warrants a position somewhere comfortably in the top 30, not the Top 3. That's asinine, irrational, and unjustified. Have people genuinely gone mad, or are fanboys just being fanboys? Listen, I love Nolan; I'm one of his greatest admirers; he's right up there with Kubrick in my book, but this is not his magnum opus. I cannot deny Heath's performance; however, he stole every scene he was in; there's no denying it. But there's more to a film than just a stand-alone character. Give your heads a good shake.
