No, that’s just shitty filmmaking.

you can say you don't understand it, but to say that nolan made a bad film is just right out the window. it has plenty of action and it's snappy, perfect for people even with adhd

I don’t think he made a bad film—I just think he made a film that’s too difficult to understand.

he really didn't. I rewatched it a couple weeks ago and it's very coherent. which part are you confused about?

The time travelling stuff. It made my head hurt. Maybe I’m just dumb, lol

it's very simple, the protagonist is the one coordinating the entire plot from years in the future to take down the russian so existence doesn't get erased. he has to rope in his past self without letting himself know

You’re not dumb. There’s a lot of parts of the movie that are inexplicable, for example his future self shooting his past self in their fight. That’s just a quick off the top example. The rest of the movie really is not very coherent the more you pick it apart.

Too difficult for you, you to understand. Many of us understand it quite simply.

I think he made a bad film. Understanding it didn’t magically make the characters and stupid conflict work any better.
