Why Doesn’t Christopher Nolan Mind People Watching His Films on Their Phone?

 A film experience is something very close to a director’s heart. However, it is a fact now that a film like “Tenet” will inevitably be available on an OTT platform sometime in the near future, and there will be many Nolan fans around the world who will be watching it. The director will not be available to control how they will perceive it.

Despite rumors which have come out time and time again in the past decade that Christopher Nolan isn’t a fan of those people who prefer to watch his films on the phone, the director has revealed in the book “Nolan Variations” (written by Tom Shone) that he is fine with that.

The book has been recently released, and it has shed some light on the fact that Nolan doesn’t have a problem with the fact that many people have watched his film “Dunkirk” on their devices. Nolan also acknowledged the fact that people often do that with his films.

Nolan described the difference between a TV series and a movie by saying that a cinematic experience is a lot different than watching a TV series. He said that when you watch a cinema, you comprehend the feeling, which oozes itself to the time when you watch the same film on your iPad. You can further extrapolate that feeling when you watch a film you haven’t seen in the theaters, but deep down, you know how the film might look like in the theaters. This is not the case when you watch a tv series.

What the director was trying to say is that once you know that a film like “Dunkirk” is meant for the theaters, then it does not matter where you watch it because you can imagine how the “Dunkirk” will look like in theaters and that is more important to the director.

Now, when we all know that he is fine with people watching his cinema on small screens, the critics should tone it down on the heat he had been facing since last December (when the Tenet trailer had come out). When the theaters around the world remained shut down in July, a narrative kept on running in the media that he is pushing for the “Tenet” release and is oblivious to the safety concerns. When the dust has slightly settled, it is high time The Dark Knight director reveals his thoughts on the whole issue.

Nolan’s comments are far from controversial and are unlikely to cause a storm in social media, especially because David Lynch has said something more controversial than him, which we wouldn’t get into now.

“Nolan Variations,” a book penned down by Tom Shone, has been released, and it might be available at your nearest functional book stores.
