Confuses complexity for depth: The Filmmaker
Someone get this man a copy of Moby Dick so he can learn what depth is. The story of Moby Dick can take place anywhere and it can be told and retold in 1000 different ways. It speaks to the human condition in a way that transcends cultures & time. It is also a very simple story (A man hunts a whale) imbued with the weight of DEPTH which makes it so remarkable and enduring.
Nolan is the OPPOSITE of Melville. He tries to substitute his lack of insight and profundity with convolution and narrative tricks. He tries to disguise his shallowness with EPIC SCALE. There isn't a single Nolan picture with a character that has an appreciable amount of depth. Not one that speaks to its audience on a human level.
Christopher Nolan might be the biggest hack in all of Hollywood.

What DEPTH is there in Moby Dick? That book was haphazardly patched together to a primitive story, and mind it has EPIC scale as well. Sure it does speak to the human condition, but so does any epic. Does that mean that every filmmaker has to rehash the same old primitive plots that were known ever since ancient greece?
I don't think you actually understand the nature of film as an artistic medium. Why would you even compare a movie to a book?
Am I in fact talking to a pasta?
