We're free as consumers to critique the creative choices these guys make. I'm not the first and certainly won't be the last to highlight those two very valid points the other gaffer made. Professional critics have also highlighted them many times in the past.
So we can discuss stuff.
Yeah, judging by the responses, I don't think most people here have seen many of their movies.

Even great directors make creative choices that are worth debating. I don't worship these guys, I'd prefer to talk about there work.

I'm fuckin with ya guys bro, it's all good. Marty definitely could stand to buy some scissors and Chrissy needs to get some hearing aids for sure lol, it's all good man, just having fun.
Goddammit I fuckin love that scene so much, gets me every time.

So in the Goodfellas time machine analogy, this would be like Henry having an anachronistic bottle of wine in the first scene. Doesnt make it any less silly.First frame of the film literally tells you to watch closely
And the whole "It was Nolan pulling his own Prestige!"
Yup that he was willing to literally kill himself over and over for fame. The copy would always take over and he knew each time. Amazing film. Was super confused with the time skips when I first saw it.
I thought it was that he didn't know if he would be the one to survive or not but was willing to take the risk for the sake of his craft.
I respect the hell out of your opinion, but man do I disagree with this so much, I mean with every fiber of my being do I disagree. Even without Heath's death, this would be considered the greatest comic book film of all time by a massive stretch, and that's in spite of me hating Bale's silly Bat voice so goddamn much I almost wanna mute it every time he talks. I absolutely love this film, and it being a "crime movie" is a massive part of why it's so good. It has the outlandish, inspirational vibes of a comic book film while still seeming at least somewhat grounded and relatable, and that's an accomplishment when we're talking about a film about a billionaire who dresses up as a bat and punches a guy dressed as a clown. This is a transcendant film.
No, it was making a copy elsewhere.
The machine makes a copy but he doesn't know whether the original who goes into the machine will be transported to the balcony or will be the one left behind and killed off to hide how it's done. The one that remains then doesn't know which one they are but is willing to continue performing the act.
Great analogies .
I agree. I think that most often the protagonists and characters are just insecure and pathetic, so I lose my interest. Especially when it comes to the Italian mafia. But I do like Mann's movies which are more about thiefs or The Town with Affleck, so I'm not totally against movies with criminals. Scorsese has probably variation in his filmography, but I've never felt inclined to watch all of his stuff.
