    I can confidently say that Nolan right now has one of the best filmographies of any director working today. I think if he keeps up his current pace of making films he'll unquestionably go down as one of the best of all time.

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter 7 лет назад +22

      The only other director his age that can match him is Denis Villeneuve, but his films don't have the same massive audience. Hopefully Blade Runner 2049 changes that.

    Nolan’s “hatred”, for lack of a better word, towards CGI is what gives his movies the tension and the high stakes that we all love. We’re not watching glossy rubbery CGI globs, we’re watching real humans who can bleed, get bruises, have pain, whose physicality is binded by the laws of physics.

    Nolan did write the shooting script of Insomnia, as he always writes every film he makes one more time a week before shooting on his fathers old typewriter and punches it up a bit. He just couldn't put his name on it as he didn't originally write the remake.

  • @toplaycool21

    Nolan can be ranked up there with great filmmakers such as Steve Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Frank Capra, Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Ridley Scott, Billy Wilder, John Ford, James Cameron. David Fincher, Francis Ford Coppola, John Huston and David Lean.

    So, we have an Englishman writing and directing a movie, shot partly with Canadian technology, about French, British, Belgian, Canadian, and Indian troops trapped in the port of Dunkirk at the beginning of WWII, with very few if any IAmericans to be found. It's a big budget quality war movie in English with no Americans. What a breath of fresh air.

      Anthony Broaddus although i agree for the reviving the Batman you have to keep in mind its been almost 20 years between last Batman portrayal and Batman Begins. Besides, Nolan said on more than one occasion that his TDK trilogy is grounded in a realistic/real world where there's no superpowers etc although he took part in starting the DCEU as a producer in MoS (not sure for BvS)

    Except he is a writer for Insomnia. He just didn't take credit. And I think Man of Steel is worth mentioning since it's the only film not directed by him that's part of the Syncopy canon and shares a lot of the same themes, style, and structure as his films.

    • @foglias
      @foglias 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah I think the script is 76 pages long. They utilized IMAX Cameras which use 65 mm stock but every frame printed in horizontal way and also they used a Panavision System 65 like in The Hateful eight for some scenes. 70mm and 65 mm is often used as a synonym. They projected the film on IMAX 70mm projectors which gives the best image resolution, like 16K and the 70mm projectors which gives a 12K image resolution (difference between this two is the aspect ratio). :)

    I just thought while watching that how Scorsese and him have the best directing skills. And how shutter island could have been directed by one or the other.

    The first movie I saw in a digital imax theater was Inception which sounded great yet the projection was a bit blurry . The bluray was better. Same could be said of his other imax work that was shot on imax like The Dark Knight and its sequel, which became the subject of a mass shooting that changed the way Hollywood released movies on opening night and made early night Thursday night showings the norm instead of midnight showings. Interstellar in digital imax sounded muddy but the bluray fixed it as its mix is from the 70mm imax cut. Can't wait to see Dunkirk when it hits HBO lol.
