that's nolan
The fact that so many books still name Stanley Kubrick as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" film Director ever only tells you how far cinema still is from becoming a serious art.
Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times.
Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe.
Film critics are still blinded by commercial success. Kubrick sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Film critics are often totally ignorant of the films of the past, they barely know the best sellers.

You are incredibly stupid if you think Kubrick's films are the prime example of "commercial success" in film. Directors like Spielberg are more in the range of what you are talking about.

Yeah, because nobody thinks that. If you think that's why he's so highly regarded, you are mistaken.

No. You're wrong. So fucking wrong. Kubrick let his films, mainly his visuals speak for themselves. Nolan cannot CANNOT do one film without someone, usually Morgan Freeman narrating the entire story for his audience. He has some of the most stilted unnatural sounding dialogue ever to be put on film.

You sound like you have a pole up your ass and you misspelled 'Cameron' as 'Kubrick'but sadly you are right. Cinema right now is business, not art.
