    Yeah I thought it was pretentious as hell. Par for the course from Christopher Nolan, making movies with ‘deep meaning’ feels that really aren’t that deep actually.

      He just has to overcomplicate things with some timeline fuckery. every. single. movie.

      • Memento: timeline is backwards
      • Inception: time runs at different rates in the real world vs the dream
      • Dunkirk: 3 timelines running at different speeds (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week)
      • Interstellar: time looping back on itself + time running at a different rate due to black hole fuckery
      • TENET: yeah …
      • Oppenheimer: constant jump cuts between different periods in Oppenheimer’s story

      Mind you, some of those are good movies and I can tolerate some of the timeline fuckery, but it’s really becoming a gimmick.
