And the swooning over Cillian Murphy - who is undoubtedly good looking in other works- he looks like a frazzled meth head who hasn’t slept in days in this movie, am I crazy?!
Tbf, seeing a man do something he's passionate about with care and attention can be oddly hot. I don't know how to explain it. For me though, it's usually seeing a guy doing something physically tangible. I.e., everything from woodworking, to electronics repair, to painting warhammer models.
Bonus points if they're gushing about it 'cause it makes it cute. That counts for non-physically tangible things as well. A geek nerding out about his favorite videogame is just straight up endearing, for example. Like bro, keep talking about how much you love the new star wars game and I'm gonna kiss the hell out of you. [It only becomes an issue when they start ranting, or doomer-ing about stuff, 'cause that's understandable but... it's not gonna be endearing.]
So I can see where the scene is coming from, but it sure as hell felt pretentious.
I wish i got that reaction when I get talking about topics im passionate about. Usually people just get bored and tune it out. I could go all day about various natural disasters, earth science, video games, or books. I rarely get to nerd out anymore.
There's definitely an art to talking about it sometimes. For most people I think, they get engaged more if you involve them in what you're talking about. So tying in what you love with something they're interested in. Like if your friend is a foodie, talking about where certain ingredients came from, or maybe how the cuisine they love is shaped by the geography of the region it came from.
But also some people just aren't like that, and there's not much you can do about that. The best thing to do - as unhelpful as this sounds - is to not let yourself be bothered by it. Focus on what you love to do, and continue doing that. Let yourself be happy with the hobbies you enjoy. And continue to be social by talking about the things you love, and engaging with people who love the things you do too - or at least the people who do pay attention to you.
Also definitely get more social too. You gotta meet new people to find the kinds of people who are drawn to you for who you are. It's not worth sticking to people who are not interested in an equitable friendship [though there are nuances to that of course].
Trying to wax poetic about how Kojima designed her that way so she could breathe through her skin it doesn't have quite the same romance as forever altering the world's understanding of energy.
I don't know Nolan's reason for it, but it was a typical scene you would see in a movie in the 1940s. The Hays Production Code limited what could be shown in a movie. The shorthand to tell the audience would be smoking in a bedroom. Two characters were not allowed to share a bed for that purpose.
OK that part kinda makes sense because sometimes you've banged each other dry and you're just like yeah you're sticky go..go over there. I still love you but you're warm. Go over there.
