I don't think it ever mentions the word "patriarchy", so you should be good.

Perfect. Just need a feel good summer thrill ride for these impressionable youngsters.

You mean the end of the movie? I mean the forty-five minutes preceding that. He's the guy driving the story that's being told. I meant protagonist in that sense, not like as the hero r the good guy. We see the world through him and we see the consequences of what he puts into motion. We're no longer in Oppenheimer's perspective and I found it to be a huge bummer

My ears are also still ringing. I fear the movie may have caused me permanent damage. Screw you Chris Nolan

Maybe your theater fucked up the volume, cuz I have bad tinnitus at times and I was fine after this

Maybe your theater manager is a scaredy cat and he played it too low. The number one review on letterboxd right now is from a guy named darwin, who says:

now I have become deaf, destroyer of ears

and 25,214 people have liked it, so it's not just me

seems like a conspiracy to damage the public's hearing. but why? to what end?

i wonder if any youtubers have talked about this issue.

big subtitle and/or big hearing aid, for sure

The accents were good, and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Teehee

bwaha

bring some earplugs, apparently

Saw it yesterday.

It reminded me a lof of Oliver Stone´s JFK. Its a long movie that doesnt stop. Great cast, great moments but it needs you to know a lot of stuff and pay attention every time.

The score was amazing in some moments and exhausting in others.

I couldn't have said that any better. Well put.

Act Three is just starting

Finally watched it last night. Liked it a lot.
Nolan's best? No, but a great bounce back from Tenet.
The music was great, just over-used.

Spoiler: show

Cinema greatness when Freddie Mercury pops up to verbally bitch slap a seedy old Ironman

Good things about this:
- Cillian Murphy, obviously
- Emily Blunt giving it her all
- The "black and white/color" sequences were fun
- Uhh

I really think this is an indefensibly bad movie, but it's not "anti man" or "dangerous" or whatever. It's completely nonsensical and gaudy but it's a fucking Nolan movie! The real problem to me is that it's deeply unfunny. I laughed once, at a Matt Damon line delivery during that FUCKING MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD scene where everyone just stands around talking shit out for what feels like 40 minutes. That line may have stopped me from walking out. Everything else is about on par with that "fireball" stuff from the first trailer. Really wish this had been good, because the people who hate it are being extremely annoying about it. 4/10
