Christopher Nolan reigns on a list of the most confusing movies of all time, according to data based on how often a film's title and "explained" is searched.
average popcorn munching rube is very stupid, yes, yes, but i think the methodology and conclusions of this listicle are weak. like surely this has as much to do with how many people saw a movie as it does with what proportion of them were confused by the plot. additionally, regardless of how one feels about the "movie explainer" genre of content (i think it mostly sucks, personally), it's not really concerned with explaining complex plots so much as gleaning every ounce of surface meaning out of every moment of a movie and presenting it in a coherent, objective-seeming rapid sequence. It's why something like half these movies are nonlinear or have some end twist that reframes the rest of the movie: the literal plot might be clear to a viewer, but presented out of order, they might want to consider the full significance of earlier scenes in the light of later ones.
