>dumb people

I think these are not "dumb" people. Being nerd is cool now, there is a subset of population who want to be "nerdy/intellectual" without being genuinely interested in stuff and putting in work that is required to be a "nerd/intellectual".

Nolan, knowingly or unknowingly, understands this and make very budget constrained wannabe blockbusters by tapping into this demographic.
