baudillard’s simulacra, hologram psychoanalytic film philosophy. “The film that’s lost its philosophy”, more like the medium that’s lost its mediacy. When everything is hyperreal, one enters the impossible by killing one’s own clone, yet the impossible can only be the impossible which is a point that Nolan clearly failed to realize. In Nolan’s world it matters whether we can or cannot distinguish “reality” from “imaginary” at the end of a film, but then again how’s that educational goal even achievable in a medium that’s immediate in and for itself?
