One of the biggest issues I had with the film was how Christopher Nolan uses exposition in the film. In this video, I focus on Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet to show how I think Nolan's reliance on exposition is a growing problem for him as a storyteller. // WATCH MORE THOMAS FLIGHT -Ad-Free Videos and Exclusive Content on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight -My Podcast Cinema of Meaning: Ad-free and early on Nebula: Nebula: https://nebula.tv/cinemaofmeaning Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4n6zZZQjiKsLNfyldNAi8b iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-of-meaning/id1611352831 -Rent or Buy My Experimental Documentary: https://labyrinthion.com -Read My Newsletter: https://thomasflight.substack.com/ // SUPPORT MY WORK -Support my Channel directly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thomasflight Patrons get access to a discord community, monthly podcast reviews of everything I watch, and more! -Sign up for Nebula using my Link: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight Signing Up for Nebula using my link supports my channel financially. // FOLLOW ME -Twitter: https://twitter.com/thomasflight -Website: http://www.thomasflight.com -Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thomasflight/ -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thomas.flight // CONTACT ME -sponsorship and Business inquiries: [email protected] -Questions, feedback, other stuff: [email protected] (check out my FAQ as well: https://www.thomasflight.com/faq) #ThomasFlight #Movies 00:00 The Duality of Nolan 02:08 The Trap 03:36 Problem #4 - Noticeable Exposition 08:03 Problem #3 - Explaining the Incomprehensible 08:29 (Interstellar Spoilers) 11:23 Click Here To Skip Interstellar Spoilers 12:23 Problem #2 - Explaining Character Development 15:09 Problem #1 - Plot Explained
