The anti-DEI crowd claimed the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong’o would sink the film.
A personal caveat: While the mental gymnastics of the right-wing are as ridiculous, as they infuriating; it also needs to be said that Christopher Nolan is anything but a leftist. This article here does a good job to delve into Nolan’s political bend.
Nolan pushed hard to fuck over pre vaccine COVID restrictions to get people to spend 2 and a Half hours in a closed space so his film can be shown in cinemas.
Watch his films in the shittiest form factor possible.
The difference between cosplaying as a fascist, which western consumers tend to despise, and actually behaving like one, which those same consumers reward with open wallets and high praise.
Nolan has alienated more than a few A-list actors with his directing style. He’s got a work-product which constantly glazes militarism, valorizes authoritarianism, and takes itself far too seriously to afford room for a bit of humor. After that, he’s just Michael Bay minus some explosions. Brilliant cinematographer. But the underlying work never fails to disappoint.
he wasnt the only one, others in hollywood did the same thing. like mythic quest dozens of people got covid early on in the lockdowns, because they were ignoring safety standards.
