Amazing work Alex - I would love to chat with you. I messaged you on your IG

As a movie nerd who believes in Jesus, I really appreciate a Christian RUclips channel about film that changes my perspective on what is good for my soul and what is not. Thank you for all you do and don’t quit! God bless

Nice presentation! Could it be that changes in techniques, language, and technology aren't the secret behind talent? Could it be that art, like dreams, is timeless?

Alex, fantastic insight into the Christian themes in Nolan's filmography. Looking through your catalogue of videos, you're doing the Lord's work! As a fellow Christian filmmaker trying to get people to see these things, this type of content puts wind in my sails. Subbed!

1:04 Dude, for real?

Great conclusion and analysis

*British director not American

You should see, "Dr Zhivago". Twaz made by the director of, "Larence Of Arabia" & inspired the cinematography in, "Dances With Wolves".

The chariot jump was unplanned. The Roman charioteer helm theft unplanned.

Great video. Subbed mate 🎉

I love your introduction. I hope to see more soon. Christ be with you.

Excellent review sir. Ben Hur is one of my all time favorite movies and I am a millennial. I first watched it with my late grandmother when I was a kid and I feel a little close to her ever time I watch it. Haven't watched it in a while but after your video I am going to sit down and watch with my children again. Thank you!

Yes, Alex♥️ nerdy, movie, saint!!! You are a rare breed, a forgotten race, a loan Survivor in the church!

hermano, no me conoces, pero estas cambiando mi vida

Great video, I like your style. Very nice quality

your channel looks sick, coming from someone who is also very into "filmmaking, creativity and faith in God". just subscribed

There are certainly religious themes in all four Nolan Batman films (Begins, Dark Knight, Rises, and BvS).

Truly investing. Thank You and God Bess You.

There is also some examples in the Dark Knight series. In Batman begins when Bruce Wayne is at the Wayne Manor and he is met by Ra's al Ghul who tells him how Gotham will be destroyed. Bruce begs him not to and that he (Bruce Wayne) can save the city. This conversation is a more twisted version of Abraham talking with God about the cities Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course the outcomes of these stories ended very differently but it goes to show that Ra's al Ghul has an intense God complex (if that wasn’t obvious before). There are other very obvious examples if you look into it but I chose one that I barely heard media talk about.

The protagonist does change. He goes from trying to control events to accepting them at the end, when he realizes that Neil has to die for the mission to succeed. Nice video by the way, I too noticed the faith theme when I watched it. I was surprised no one else was talking about it. Everyone was simply fixated on unravelling its complexity.

The end of The Dark Knight makes me think about the value of the lie of religion. Both Wayne and Gordon believe that the citizens of Gotham will be served better with the myth of Dent as a man who died a hero.

Nolan copy superastral

God bless you

I love all that era. Ten Commandments, Cleopatra, Ben Hur. All those cinematic epics that just have an alternate world beauty to them.

Very interesting take on Nolan's fantastically crafted films, but it reeks of the typical Kristian narcissistic and viewpoints. You talk about Nolan's use of love and sacrifice, when in reality Kristians only love if your belief system aligns with theirs. They are all just so full of themselves, despise and cast away anyone who isn't playing on their team and preach a condescending pity for everyone. Aside from Is-slime, no other religion does that, but instead usually wish others well. They are most often jealous of others, vulgar and filled with conspiracy theory, and believe in unsophisticated concepts but think other reasonings are to be vilified. Beautiful religion in construct, but sad religion in reality. And so I pray for them.

Hello Alex, I just found one of your videos on RUclips and I really like your channel and perspective. I want to ask if you would be interested in recording a podcast together?

I mean Nolan is truly great in what he does, however he doesn't need to make his movies religious movies for him to be a religious man. The Christian influence the movies better, but since the theme is not completely religious the movies aren't either If he made a movie about a theme connected to religion heavily, be it a Biblical story or something similar to the Kingdom of Heaven, it would definitely be much more religious because the theme itself is. That exactly makes his movies great, he does them perfectly and covers the topic they should cover without bringing in his ideals and beliefs too much, a hidden message or morals or certain references, similarities and parallels can make the movie better which he did perfectly. I honestly didn't notice most of them although now that I watch this it is more visible, I did notice Lazarus being a reference to the Biblical Lazarus, but that was about it.

This is fantastic work. I have to rewatch all of his movies now.

Very good review!

Amazing video. I walk away from almost every film I see with some way of tying it into my Christian faith, it's great to see a video doing just that, and pointing out things I had never picked up on

Have seen it countless times

It doesn't. it is a bloated, badly acted disgrace. You have to be a pathetically undereducated Christian to find this crap inspiring. It's like saying checkers is the best game b/c it is from a simpler time. Just because it touched on religion doesn't make it good.

as much as i loved his film making, all those plots only got me more bewildered about life when i was an agnostic, since there is no teleological hope let alone ultimate salvation behind those movies, there is only emptyness and meaninglessness, just like solomon once said. but THank God , Jesus died and rose for me.

Thank you

Is the Protagonist, Neil, and Ives suppose to be the Trinity? I always noticed the Adam and Eve parallel in inception and all the Bible references in interstellar, but I remember watching tenet in theaters and seeing a wide shot of the 3 of them at the end with the algorithm in a sort of standoff before working together to preserve the timeline did the thought ever occur to me. Neil sacrifices himself, the protagonist is destined to cross paths with him again, they’re flirting with existing outside of time, etc. In interstellar Cooper literally enters a realm outside space and time and can affect his own destiny without violating his own free will and saves the world by accessing forbidden knowledge- quantum data inside a black hole where no man is allowed to come back from. It’s all very secular like u said but it’s something I’ve been mulling over for a long time and I’m glad someone finally made a video about it. Cheers🍻

Very interesting. I never knew much of this. Now it's down the rabbit hole. Thanks, Alex!

I’ve always felt something spiritual about Interstellar.

Great analysis, thank you!

The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature. C.S. Lewis

christianity and religiousness are two different things

This is so good! Thank you for making this and sharing it with us all!!

Just randomly stumbled across this video, I've seen a lot of Christian reviewers try to extract Biblical themes from Nolan's films, but you succeed in finding the forest as a whole rather than a single tree so to say. Do you think you will do a review on the Prestige?

Tenet is one of the most underappreciated movies. Certainly Nolan ones. Good video!

Very nice insights to a filmmaker I greatly respect. Thanks for sharing!

Now that's a great video! Thanks 😊

Great video 👍 now name the score that you have used in this video.

He is not American. He's British

Not a Christian, but this is a really good analysis on Nolan's work that I hadn't considered or heard prior mention of. I never held him in a super high regard above other film greats, since, although his work is undoubtedly great, it's his fanbase perception for me which frankly seems to cater more to the glitz, glamour, and logic of his films which made me question if his work actually had much soul to begin with. Your interpretation gives me a lot more appreciation for his films and I'll definitely have to give them another viewing.

Mythology in the arts is still going strong; being the foundation of theatre anyway.

As a filmmaker I’ve been looking for a video like this since before I was saved but especially since I WAS saved as I knew there was some Christian influence in his films but couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. The farthest I was able to get was the Adam and Eve thing from Inception because that is the one I’ve seen the most but yeah now I am no longer confused on Nolan’s value system and can pray confidently for him to come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior as well as for Chris to walk with Him. You’re absolutely right these films are so close to laying down the truth like it is in a grand and artistic way but still point back to people instead of God specifically. Nevertheless still looking forward to his adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Thank you for making this video and God Bless
