It's a movie that came out a year after Occupy that takes what is explicitly a lower class uprising and slots it into the bad guy role and offers no class analysis whatsoever. Nolan can eat my entire rear end

Do you think he wrote, shot and released the movie that year lol

I think he's a thinking person who probably read the news once or twice that year. He knew what he was making.

re: Bane in TDKR and whatever I used to think “these things aren’t so bad because these characters are clearly just co-opting real movements to hijack them for their selfish/criminal ends” but then I realised this is done in order to present the idea that anyone who is actually part of those movements just wants to do the same thing

Should he have cancelled the movie because occupy happened? What does it matter if the movie had some parallels but is about something a million miles removed?

I'm saying that the notion that DKR doesn't talk about class struggle and have a take on it is obviously ridiculous.

It does have a take, but it isn't that protesters are bad. The downtrodden that suffer in Gotham get shafted and their issues coopted by the baddies.

It doesn't say the protesters are bad, it says they are wrong, misguided, and co-opted by bad people. That is a bad take.

Honestly it's not even the least-intelligible voice I've heard Tom Hardy do.

I remember when the first scene leaked early from the IMAX preview or whatever, the whole internet spent weeks complaining about the voice. But then when it came out, yeah, he was mostly pretty easy to understand. Certainly not more difficult than Bale's Bat-voice anyway.

This is the last I'll speak on this tonight because it's so off-topic but the sound mixing, particularly the dialgoue, in Nolan's films is absolutely atrocious on a technical level.

The Bane stuff in TDKR sounded so badly mixed when I saw it in the cinema, like it was just so loud in the mix and didn't sound like it was in the right acoustic space at all.
Then you have scenes where they just never bothered to ADR lines so you have stuff like dialogue scenes in big echoey hallways that sounds awful. There was one in particular were Micheal Caine was so off-mic that it was inconceivable to me they didn't re-record the line.

Then you have the beach dialogue in Dunkirk, which sounds so bad it's almost unbelievable.


I'll say no more because this is such a nerdy and boring topic.

The more stuff I see of Hardy, the less impressed I am. He needs a REALLY good director to reign him in. His accent in Capone was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Yeah I really like him in everything. I really wanted David Wenham Mad Max but he's not a big name.

For reference on David's acting power and the scene I consider his Mad Max audition

They need to get Disco Elysium out on PS4 so I can talk about it ITT. I'm near the end and it might be my retroactive GOTY 2019

I’ve been seeing stuff that’s very different from that. Reviewers liking tweets like this https://mobile.twitter.com/DonZiyech/status/1280594873570254850
and playing coy about how they can’t wait to talk about it.
