That's what I thought, but at the same time I'm surprised even he has sufficient pull to bully the studio like that. Is WB must be worried that he'd go somewhere else in the future for them to be willing to risk so much money by releasing this too soon. No one has any real numbers, but I imagine they're hoping for Inception like numbers of $300M+ domestic, $800M+ WW. It's impossible to imagine getting anywhere near that this summer. Either they're willing to sacrifice some cash to keep Nolan happy, or there are some yes men in WB that aren't being honest in their projections.

sexy_shapiro Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I can’t really imagine how someone like Christopher Nolan must be feeling. He’s obviously very passionate about the movies he makes. He spent so much time on this movie only for it to not get the release he was hoping for. But this situation doesn’t make him look good. Like, at all. At best he’s delusional for thinking now is a good time for his movie to be put out there. At worst he’s uncaring for the amount of people who will be put in danger just to see his movie. It’s disappointing, but he always seemed to have a right wing bent based on his Batman movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the conversations about his politics, but I don't think he's actually right-wing. He donated to Obama in 2012. And when being interviewed about TDKR, I remember he was very clear that it wasn't the message that was dangerous, but the person weaponizing it by taking advantage of people's natural distrust for the powerful.

I’m not saying he’s right-wing, but that his movies often seem to support certain conservative ideals. One could read The Dark Knight as a support for Patriot Act era surveillance. Batman himself is a fascist cop who uses force, fear, and “advanced interrogation” in order to serve what he deems as justice. The movies go back and fort on whether his actions are justified but I think ultimately the movies side with him. By the third movie he’s made into a symbol of hope. And now Nolan was to push theaters to open early just to play his movie. Yeah, this just doesn’t sit well with me, especially with the conservative bent of his Batman movies.

That's not Nolan's interpretation, that's the essence of what the character is and different writers either try to write around that, subvert it or overtly embrace it. I think Nolan confronts it head on and leaves it up to the viewer to decide but that's just me. Quote The movies go back and fort on whether his actions are justified but I think ultimately the movies side with him. The Dark Knight actually DOESN'T side with him. He doesn't even trust himself with that amount of power and delegates the operation of the cell-phone surveillance to Lucius Fox who was wholly against the idea. He entrusted Lucius to destroy the machine once the threat was over so I think at the very least, Nolan's Batman has limits and Nolan's interpretation, at least in this movie, is that while sometimes extraordinary means may be necessary in order to stop a larger threat, NO ONE should ultimately have that amount of power over a free population. In fact in Nolan's Batman movies, free will amongst the citizens is a constant theme that is reinforced. Quote By the third movie he’s made into a symbol of hope Which for Nolan is the only justifiable reason for a character like Batman it exist. It's a stretch because Batman's character does NOT represent hope... he represents FEAR. Superman is more of a hopeful, inspirational figure. I think the fact that Nolan shoehorned that characterization in shows me about his personal politics than what Batman's character is about.

I think the fact that Nolan shoehorned that characterization in shows me about his personal politics than what Batman's character is about. I don’t wanna derail this into a Dark Knight Trilogy debate. My interpretation of The Dark Knight was always that Batman methods may be questionable, but they still worked and maybe questionable methods are needed in extraordinary times. It’s a grey message, but a message that resonated with audiences during the Bush era. I will just say that a LOT of Bush voters felt validated after seeing that movie. Maybe they are wrong, but the movie doesn’t harshly rebuke Batman enough IMO. But I’m FAR more interested in discussing how Nolan wants to push a major movie out soon, that will potentially bring in crowds and infect more people. That is honestly more damning and worth discussing than the Bush-era politics of The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight didn’t kill anyone. Releasing Tenet in the summer will. That’s morally wrong of him, and I think less of him for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I love Christopher Nolan and adore his films, but I still chuckle at thought of his big cinematic spectacle being screened for a ‘sold out’ show of like 15 people, all of whom have like sneeze guards between the seats.
