Talk-y na movie yung Oppenheimer, di ba? Hindi sya action movie, tama? Tama ba na magexpect ako ng mas maraming action scenes sa Barbie?
That’s what’s expected, yes. Hindi ko pa napanood Dunkirk so not sure how Nolan does with historical drama. May habit din kasi siya with pretentious dialogue like with his Batman films or exposition-heavy to the point that it treats the audience like idiots (Inception).
But I did enjoy Tenet when I thought I was going to hate it, and still love his earlier works (Insomnia, Following).
The safe bet is Barbie, though. If you just want something light and fun.
Nolan opted Dunkirk as an experience picture. It is narrative-driven, little to no dialogue.
Chris Nolan’s films are dialogue-filled and exposition-filled, anyway.
Iniisip ko lang kung bakit excited yung mga male coworkers ko sa movie. Di naman sila mahilig sa ganung movies. Nadala lang ba sila ng hype? O sexist lang sila kaya gusto nila suportahan yung “kalaban” ni Barbie? O akala nila related ito sa Batman franchise? 🥴
Di ako close (my choice) sa kanila kaya di ko matanong directly.
Pwedeng hype, lol. Mukha ka kasing filmophile or intelligent if you namedrop Nolan even if his works are often problematic.
But pwede rin naman na gusto talaga nila. Medyo timely kasi yung story ni Oppenheimer (na-disillusioned sa nagawa niya, na-redtag) and it’s interesting what statements the film is going to make.
More like a hype, cuz it’s Nolan brand. I, myself, watched all of his feature-length pictures and witnessed how he evolved from minuscule budget and premise with The Following to over-indulgent idea with Tenet. The Prestige is still my favorite Nolan picture.
Final answer ba yung hype? Kung ireveal ko na nanalo yung last two presidents na binoto nila? At I heard them talking na maganda naman daw nung Martial Law.
Anyways, sana may mapick up silang maganda sa movie, aside from the opportunity to sleep.
There is no final answer. It’s up to audiences what they’re expecting on the picture. I booked a ticket for Barbie kasi it was written by Gerwig and Baumbach, a weird duo for this kind of picture at gusto ko makita anong take nila kay Barbie and its plastic world, and for Oppenheimer kasi napaka-interesting ng snippet ni titular character at Manhattan Project.
Yeah, naisip ko lang naman. I’m imagining myself as an AI. I feel the need to predict human behavior and motivation judging from their past actions. AI’s need to learn this to survive.
