CRITICS CALLING IT A MASTERPIECE
π
shareDidn't they say that about Dunkirk? And that bored the pants off me.
shareYes they did, and although film interpretation is most certainly subjective, an over whelming majority of film critics as well as people who who enjoy film across the spectrum of causal viewer to obsessed fandom have backed up that assertion. I certainly feel that Dunkirk is a masterpiece of modern-day film making.
It didn't work for me. I felt no emotional connection to the story or any of the characters. I'm ex military, so I expected I would.
shareI hear you, Iβm ex military myself, and I, like you did not feel an emotional connection to it but I donβt feel an emotional connection to many, if any war related films, I donβt know why that is.
Quentin Tarantino is on record saying the first time he saw Dunkirk he was neutral about it but after a few viewings it became one of his favorite films of all time.
For me itβs the big picture, like looking at one of those paintings made up of dots and slowly seeing it with more clarity the further I get from it.
Agreed. Dunkirk is a shit show.
shareDunkirk was great and patriotic, but strange.
It should have explained the big campaign picture, like Bridge too Far did
Dunkirk was alright.
Sure no masterpiece but it was watchable enough. Now if we're talking hyped up works of "art" which were truly horrible, then The Master takes the Gold Medal.
"Dunkirk" was one of the most inert things I have ever seen. And I blew the money to see it in IMAX. Man, that was dull.

Yes, critics do tend to overestimate the quality of Christopher Nolan films.
That's a relief. Now I know what to think.
shareEveryone expects this film to be a masterpiece. Everyone wants it to be a masterpiece. And that makes it even harder for Nolan to achieve.
But, there's only one direction for him to go after the shockingly bad Tenet, and that's up.
translation - a select number of paid off 'critics' are telling what they are being told to say by studios.
