Nolan, what are you doing?

I have always been a big fan of Nolan, "Memento", "Deadly Magic" and even "Batman Prequel". Which of Nolan's few works doesn't make me climax and want to die? So I was willing to spend almost a week on eMule downloading "Insomnia" - for Nolan and for my idol Al Pacino.

I finally finished downloading it yesterday, and I watched it together with my girlfriend. My girlfriend was influenced by me, and she was also a fan of Nolan. Before watching "Insomnia", she was gearing up: "Watching Nolan's film, you have to remember every detail!"

It turned out that his girlfriend was overthinking it. "Insomnia"...how should I put it, the dramatic tension is there, but if it's about insomnia, it's not as good as "Sleepless in the Supermarket"; if it's about the confrontation between two heroes, it's not as good as "Pirates of Fire" or even "Dark War" ; If you talk about inner suffering, it can't compare to "The Mechanic"; if you talk about reasoning, even "Human Bone Puzzle" is more exciting than it.

After reading it, I couldn't help but want to ask: "Nolan, what are you doing?"

    Losing the principle is like lying, and it's out of control. PS This is the least Nolan flavor.

    The first half was good, but in the back, the inspector's torture under morals and reason caused a trance. The so-called schizophrenia was not felt at all, and two old drama bones were wasted.

Insomnia quotes

  • Will Dormer: You shouldn't knock misdemeanors.

    Ellie Burr: Oh, but it's small stuff. It gets so boring.

    Will Dormer: It's all about small stuff. You know, small lies, small mistakes. People give themselves away, same in misdemeanors as they do on murder cases. It's just human nature. Aren't you gonna write that down?

  • Will Dormer: We better find out where this came from.

    Ellie Burr: I tried. Mrs. Connell doesn't know, her friends didn't know.

    Will Dormer: Have you tried the jewelry stores? Small things, remember? The second you're about to dismiss something, think about it. Look at it again.

    Ellie Burr: Want me to write that down?

    Will Dormer: No, I'll remember it.
