Not to mangle a David Lynch quote but 'As soon as you finish the film, people want you to talk about it. The film is the talking!'

I remember Nolan saying his brother set him straight during the Memento interviews when he was answering so much and providing explanations for a lot of things by telling him not to do that and so he minimized that in future interviews for his other films.

In that Time interview Nolan tried to justify almost every controversial decision as if the studio and marketing teams were panicking and they needed to salvage the film somehow.

But all those explanations weren't gonna dissuade the factions complaining in any way, they just fuelled them even more.

I remember in the interviews and award circuits Emma Thomas and Nolan said several times that they were very pleased how they encountered many young people who had gone to see Oppenheimer several times.

Could some of his casting choices of some actors/artists, some of the promos and the choice to make the dialogue more modern be geared towards the younger generation to attract many of them to the film? Whether it's misguided, we'll see.

I usually think his fast-editing and momentum is just the type of filmmaking that would appeal to the younger audience who are conditioned to scrolling Instagram and tiktoks for short clips.

Just a thought.
