You know, where a lot of people who like these smaller independent movies that he used to make, movies on the scale, something like The Prestige or Memento.
Whereas, as you say, every Nolan movie now is a massive event in terms of budget, in terms of scale, in terms of publicity, in terms of release.
And time, always time, because it's a Nolan movie.
And you mentioned the limit in term of time, actually, just to talk on that.
It's worth acknowledging Oppenheimer is three hours long, which required the invention of a whole new reel to support the IMAX film.
And the reason The Odyssey is only two hours and 52 minutes is because... Only two hours and 52 minutes!
That's eight minutes short!
It was a big news story when he announced that, yes, The Odyssey will be shorter than Oppenheimer.
And I was like, oh, is he going to cram it into two hours?
Like, nope, two hours, 52 minutes.
But that reason is because the physical reel of IMAX film cannot be longer than three hours.
So until, to quote Oppenheimer, somebody builds a bigger reel, he'll have to make do with that.
But I do think he's made the point that he...
He understands that he is the only director who gets to make movies on the scale that he does.
And he also understands that if he stops doing that, if he goes and he makes a smaller one, he loses the right or he risks losing the right to make a bigger one afterwards.
