Why is reddit-logo so invested in that new Nolan movie? I know our boy baby-matt has said the film is supposed to be somewhat of a metaphor for Nolan "making the superhero film popular." But that shit sounds like some big-brained egotistical bullshit because it was always going to be popular no matter what. So is it some sort of modern white man's burden film and a justification for lmayo to use the bomb. I just want to know why people are so invested in a film?

    Nolan is the official reddit-logo director since Memento, Inception, The Prestige and the Batman Trilogy are like 90% of whatever non-marvel cinema the average redditor consumes. The man makes fun, pretty movies with enough of an intellectual twist that the average redditor feels smart and not alienated by them.

    That, plus reddit's complete hardon for (I fuckin love) "science" and related STEMlord topics, and Oppenheimer being one of the last "man discovers thing on his own, no teamwork/institutional work required, just raw, individual genius" publicity cases makes this one a reddit triple whammy.

      Memento would have been way better if he was trying to solve the murder and create a court case working around his disibility.

      As it was he was just killing random men named john which is actually pretty unsympathetic behaviour
