Vous avez le droit de dire que vous aimez bien des Nolan, promis Chocolat viendra pas vous hanter dans votre sommeil.
lâauteur a Ă©crit une critique du film, qui vise parfaitement juste :
Spoiler
CP on Christopher Nolanâs film of The Prestige:
I like and admire the following â
The seriousness of approach, the lack of levity, the quality of the direction.
The indirect, multi-level narrative.
The fact that there were no car chases, no songs, no sex scenes, no guns used to resolve issues (with one small exception). There was also no gratuitous violence, and CGI was kept to a minimum.
The photography was beautiful, and at times artful.
The sense of period was good.
The performance of Ching Ling Fooâs signature illusion was mounted well, and Hugh Jackmanâs attempt at reproducing it moments later was convincing.
Christian Bale acted with conviction; Scarlett Johannson was not given enough to do, but looked lovely and made the best of a difficult part; Andy Serkis and Rebecca Hall also did well with under-written parts; Hugh Jackman was OK; Michael Caine acted well.
I also like the fact that every time I have seen the film in a cinema the audience has sat attentively to follow the complicated narrative, and that as they leave the cinema the people are always talking about what they have just seen. (They are obviously engaged by the film, but also sometimes pleasantly mystified by it.)
I am much less impressed by â
The ending. In the novel the central mystery about Borden is not concealed from the reader. Most readers of the book work things out for themselves once it becomes apparent that there is a mystery. Christopher Nolan did not grasp this subtlety. In his film he tried to hide the mystery, then weakly presented the revelation of it as a âtwistâ ending.
The lack of a modern story to set the historical context of the feud between Angier and Borden.
The sound level. Nolan encouraged his actors to whisper many of their exchanges. This was particularly so in the final scene, when Bale and Jackman were explaining the twist ending to each other.
The wooden performance of David Bowie. The role of Nicolai Tesla is one of the most important in the story, and should have presented a decent actor with a meaty part. Bowie was merely adequate in the part.
The reversal of motives in the scene in which Jackman pleaded with Johannson to spy on Bale. In the novel, the suggestion comes from the woman, which in context of the story, not to mention the period, makes much more psychological sense.
The music. One of Christopher Nolanâs strengths is not his taste in music.
The pop song played over the final credits, which was completely out of key with the rest of the film. Another big hint that Nolan has a tin ear for music.
Overall â
I liked what I liked much more than I disliked what I disliked, and found many scenes admirable. The opening is particularly effective, as is the presentation of some of the magic. There is sensitivity and skill throughout, but not flashy, show-off skill, as has been apparent in some of Nolanâs more recent films.
As is described in The Magic I had the unusual opportunity to select the director of the film, and chose Nolan because I sensed he was a young man with a vivid and unusual cinematic imagination. I believe he amply displayed that talent in his early film Memento, and also in The Prestige. I have found his other films disappointing. Insomnia was a routine Hollywood thriller, which could have been directed by anybody; the Batman films, although technically brilliant, were risible, poorly written and likely to date badly; while Inception (again a technical achievement) was cinematically derivative and excruciatingly scripted.
I therefore believe The Prestige is the best of Christopher Nolanâs films to date, and if anyone suggests that I would think that, wouldnât I?, they should read The Magic to see the exegesis of the whole argument.

Interstellar câest bien, assez inĂ©gal dans sa durĂ©e mais globalement bien, câest le film qui mâavait rĂ©conciliĂ© avec lui, puis jâai rien vu jusquâĂ Tenet, et Ă partir de lĂ plus jamais.
Tenet câest mĂȘme pas un film, jâai du mal Ă dĂ©crire lâexpĂ©rience

Y a vraiment quâun fanboy pour croire quâici quelquâun a peur de Chocolat 
On en a dĂ©jĂ parlĂ©, mais câest parce que câest pas vraiment un film non ? Ca ressemble plus Ă un exercice de rĂ©alisation pour Ă©tudiant enrobĂ© dâun vague contexte autour « bon, je vais mettre des enjeux dans mon film de poursuites avant/arriĂšre I guess »
Je rebondissais juste sur le fait que tout le monde trouve ça unanimement Ă chier avant de prĂ©ciser « ah non ça et ça câest bien quand mĂȘme. MAIS BON ĂA RESTE Ă CHIER »

Je suis dâaccord, je te taquinais un peu.
Jâimagine parce que les gens supportent pas quâil soit le « rĂ©alisateur prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© des normies » ? Je pense que la plupart des gens aiment bien certains de ses films sans forcĂ©ment penser que câest le plus grand rĂ©alisateur au monde.
nulan tier list
bien : le prestige, interstellar

Il a voulu refaire le film a concept comme Inception sauf que lĂ on sent quâil est incapable dâexpliquer le concept 
Yâa pas de concept ni rien a comprendre mais les scĂšnes dâaction sont rigolo a regarder.
Inception yâa pas de concept ni rien a comprendre et en plus les scĂšnes dâaction sont chiantes a regarder.
Bah dĂ©jĂ ce nâest pas le cas, mais sinon oui on a le droit dâaimer certains de ses films et dâen dĂ©tester dâautres⊠AprĂšs si certains ont changĂ© de discours sur ses films, faut leur demander.
Sinon :
Tellement pas dâaccord avec ça.
Devant TENET jâĂ©tait tout le temps comme ça : 
MĂȘme les scĂšnes dâactions mâont fait chier.
Alors que dĂšs le premier visionnage dâInception jâĂ©tais

Interstellar je sais que câest devenu un meme tellement câest vanilla mais câest tellement goatĂ© Ă mes yeux
Câest maquette contre maquette mais plus de 10 ans plus tard sur grand Ă©cran câest toujours aussi efficace 
Comme tous les plans dans lâespace.
Inception câĂ©tait pas mal (jâaime bien), mais ayant vu Paprika au cinĂ©ma Ă sa sortie, câest une grosse repompe en moins bien et moins fou.
Tout le film jâattendais des changements de situation Ă la Paprika comme un peu dans cette scĂšne :
Mais câest jamais aussi barrĂ© que lâoriginalâŠ
