10 Movie Directors Who F**king Doubled Down On Your Hate

1. Christopher Nolan Won't Stop Making Bombastic Movies

The words understated and subtle can rarely be applied to the work churned out by arguably the most bombastic director of his age. If the idea requires a larger than life scenario and people's minds to be melted, literally and figuratively, then you can bet Christopher Nolan will be frothing at the mouth at the thought of it.

And though there's undoubtedly always a place for a creator who finds pleasure in the practicality of cinema and challenging his audience, it's safe to say that in recent times not everyone has been fully on board the Nolan hype train.

Features like Interstellar and Dunkirk that seemed more focused on unsettling his audience through theatre-shaking sound and making their eyes bleed with relentless IMAX sequences than giving them an enjoyable experience have left many pushing back against a filmmaker they once adored.

Nolan's response? Pumping out a film that made those latter entries feel like braindead action flicks in the form of Tenet; a film so loud and frequently indecipherable that you likely needed a week to get over the ordeal.

But if you thought his latest film was loud, wait till he's finished playing around with "the father of the atom bomb"...
