when your protagonist has no name

#christophernolan
Tenet, Inception, Interstellar... Christopher Nolan movies are famously hard to understand. In part, this is because Nolan's use of sound mixing and sound design makes his dialogue hard to hear. In part it's because his plots are complex hard to follow. But ultimately Nolan is hard to understand and to connect with because of how much he relies on the relationship between these two elements.

In this video, we'll examine a few Christopher Nolan movies, Tenet in particular, to see why Nolan movies are hard to understand and connect with, and what can be done to resolve the problem.
