Your example of the Bad Company song doesn’t matter because I don’t regard pop music as high art. Even really good pop music. I love the song ‘Johnny B Goode’ but I wouldn’t defend it as great art. Popular art I guess? I realize that this sort of distinction is very out of fashion in the postmodern age. And I gave a very specific reason why I dislike Nolan’s films. Anyway, I sort of like ‘The Prestige’.
There you are being all reductive, and snobby. Of course pop music can be high art.
But really that’s besides the point. There TON of simple great art. Look at Die Hard, generally considered to be the most technically perfect action movie ever. And you can’t get more simple.
Yes you specific reason for DISLIKING Nolan. None of which show they aren’t GREAT movies. You just don’t like them.
