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.
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.
Antonio Foglia lucky you :( I wish I has seen it in imax or even in theater. I held off on watching it for so long because the first half hour wasn't in space.. I'll definitely see Dunkirk in imax next week 😊
"My wife wasn't diabetic!" "You sure?" Now that's the best dialogue that can be chosen to end this video. Great one, really enjoyed the perspective shown about his filmography! :)
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.
You are doing some absolutely wonderful analysis here. And it's really great to see so many female names in the credits. Even RUclips video essays seem to be dominated by male writers, but you all definitely break that perception.
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.
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.
I'm sad I won't get to see Dunkirk in IMAX 70mm but I guess I'm lucky enough to get the chance to see it in normal 70mm. I wanted stupid shirt though. I look forward to possibly reviewing it myself.
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)
I think he is one of the most underrated directors/filmmakers of all time. it feels like his box office successes are somewhat the reason of his award snubs. there are few who can combine architecture, literature and science into a compelling story-telling
I went to a regular cinema for Dunkirk and they gave it the biggest screen they have... Good people.. I chosen the closest I can get. And it was truly something.
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.
Insomnia is one of the most underrated movies from Nolan. Really brilliant and a masterpiece thriller. He gave me my ultimate favorite film ever Inception. Infact three of my ultimate top 10 films are from Nolan.
CM06 I think this is the next logical step for him to take now that he's made almost every other genre (other than Comedy). I would love for Nolan to make a horror film using his unreliable narrator/protagonist perspective that he likes to do.
He was created at a young age by himself for himself with always that element of humanity and human compassion and suspense obviously there!! You feel it!! You FEEL it!!
True love conquers all is most definitely not the theme of interstellar. Simply a character acting very true to their character. Not Nolan’s personal ideology. Really hate it when people think Nolan was trying to be preachy in that scene
Wow, so you're telling me that Nolan is influenced by other artists AND he tries to leave unanswered questions at the end of his films? The depth of research here is astounding. Plus, your ability to use copyrighted clips from great movies to make your own content seem more impressive, such a clever move.
I think they meant that the entirety of Batman Begins is an origin story. Tim Burton's Batman contains a flashback to his parents death in the alley, but at the beginning of the film Bruce Wayne is already Batman.
Saw Dunkirk today, and it's the film of the year for me...so superior to all that Hollywood shit, Dunkirk is how you make films, well done Mr Nolan...this film will go down as one of the greats.
I still regret not seeing Interstellar in theaters. I respect Nolan's work a lot and think he's a fantastic director despite what his retractors might say.
the best director in my opinion: 1. Christopher Nolan 2. Denis Villeneuve 3. David Fincher 4. Alejandro G. Iñárritu 5. Quentin Tarantino 6. Martin Scorsese 7. Paul Thomas Anderson 8. Darren Aronofsky 9. Damien Chazelle (potential)
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.
"The often overlooked Insomnia..."
Proceeds to overlook Insomnia.
Frank Rabbit haha oh the irony
Frank Rabbit
So true😅😅😅😅
😂😅😂
exactly
Insomnia was a remake
I'm a fan. THE PRESTIGE is classically underrated. It's one of my favorite films by Nolan.
Its my favorite of his for sure. And in my top 10 from any director.
i've literally never heard of it, but with a cast like that, i have to go check it out
Colin Rini - same..
Mine too....i has some effect on my heart the movie is so emotional and......i am out of words here
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.
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.
Nicholas Katsikas Him and Martin Scorsese
I would also argue Edgar Wright. Very different style of filmmaking, but he has yet to make a bad or even just average movie in my opinion.
DerMoerpler Yes and Edgar Wright for sure
aztecr7 Scorsese is 30 years older
Top five best film directors right now: Christopher Nolan, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, Quentin Tarantino, Denis Villeneuve and David Fincher
Solid list. Not sure if Tarantino has another decent film left in him or not though. He's been hit or miss lately.
Chris Loos h8ful eight was good
I'd put Matthew Vaughn in here as well.
Just missing Edgar Wright
Scorsese?
All I want to do is see interstellar and the dark knight for the first time again
Totally agree, I want those goosebumps and tears from the first time I watched Interstellar in an IMAX Theater. :)
Berknix yeahhh
Antonio Foglia lucky you :( I wish I has seen it in imax or even in theater. I held off on watching it for so long because the first half hour wasn't in space.. I'll definitely see Dunkirk in imax next week 😊
lolbrunopt Dunkirk was excellent ;) let me know what you think of it afterwards!
I regret so much, that I did not see intersteller in the cinema. I regret. I regret.
"My wife wasn't diabetic!"
"You sure?"
Now that's the best dialogue that can be chosen to end this video. Great one, really enjoyed the perspective shown about his filmography! :)
Which movie are you talking about
@@pratikate1763 The one at the end of the video, like he implied.
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.

This channel deserves so much more attention! You guys are slowly becoming my favorite channel on RUclips!!!

toplaycool21 you left out all the masters of cinema.
You left out Orson Welles
@Brandon Kelly
No
He doesn’t rank among the best of all time
In my opinion, Christopher Nolan has yet to make a bad film in his career
@Ben Wassermann :D Such a true sentiment! Lol! Thanks.
Ben Wasserman Rises.
Kenji Mizoguchi Dark Knight Rises is a great film
Kenji Mizoguchi No I liked Rises
Kenji Mizoguchi rises is amazing if you look at bigger arc of the trilogy
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.
Brilliant video. Channel should have way more subscribers with the quality of content being produced. Thank you and keep them coming.
INSOMNIA is so underrated!
I'm sad I won't get to see Dunkirk in IMAX 70mm but I guess I'm lucky enough to get the chance to see it in normal 70mm. I wanted stupid shirt though. I look forward to possibly reviewing it myself.
Agreed! Sadly no Imax 70mm showings near me. :(
Yup, closest I have is 4 hours away.
I'm flying to a different city to see the IMAX 1570 presentation
I considered it. I really want to see it in 15/70.
I'm stuck with IMAX Digital which sucks or just normal DCP 😢
He did do superhero films. That being said, he resurrected the Batman franchise.
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)
Rados Kovac Batman and Robin came out in 1997, as it would be 8 years in between Batman Begins and last iteration.
I think he is one of the most underrated directors/filmmakers of all time. it feels like his box office successes are somewhat the reason of his award snubs. there are few who can combine architecture, literature and science into a compelling story-telling
"It's not enough to make it disappear. You have to bring it...
*ad*
... back!"
I went to a regular cinema for Dunkirk and they gave it the biggest screen they have... Good people.. I chosen the closest I can get. And it was truly something.
#InNolanWeTrust
the concept for Batman Begins title that showed up not at the beginning but at the end of the movie is mindblowing!
Christopher Nolan is amazing.
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.
4:08 Mask of the Phantasm (1993) is actually the first feature film to tell Batman's origin story.
Where is Nolan speaking at 8:30 in the video? Does anyone have a link to that talk?
mediacentral.princeton.edu/media/Class+Day+2015+with+guest+speaker+Christopher+Nolan/1_17pm30d6
Starts at 1:26:17
aliimsorry24 thanks mate. I’ve enjoyed his speech and felt inspired by him as always!
Nolan will be remarked as the best of all time along with Kubrick and Kurosawa.
No he won’t
He hasn’t made films that are as among the best of all time
you guys put so much thought and time into these and they always turn out great!!
I have seen all of his film and I have to say that all of them are great
Inception is overrated
TDK is great
Dunkirk is great
TDKR isn’t great
If a genie comes to me i will just ask him to give me a power that i can forget all his movies and watch again...forget the money
Thank for this Video
Insomnia is one of the most underrated movies from Nolan. Really brilliant and a masterpiece thriller. He gave me my ultimate favorite film ever Inception. Infact three of my ultimate top 10 films are from Nolan.
The prestige is my personal favorite.
You guys did an excellent work on this video. Thank you
What an amazing qualitative video, very sweet voice too.
I want to see a horror film directed by Nolan
That would be hella good since we've all gotten the message now that Nolan likes to talk about how we all make our own subjective reality.
CM06 I think this is the next logical step for him to take now that he's made almost every other genre (other than Comedy). I would love for Nolan to make a horror film using his unreliable narrator/protagonist perspective that he likes to do.
In my opinion you can call Dunkirk a war/thriller/horror film
Hi, where did you take the video at 8:31 where Nolan explains the movie from?
I'm not being able to find it.
About an hour and 26 minutes into this video-
mediacentral.princeton.edu/media/Class+Day+2015+with+guest+speaker+Christopher+Nolan/1_17pm30d6
This was a wonderful essay on the filmmaker's history of works.
When the worst film you've made is The Dark Knight Rises, you know you're a god among men.
He was created at a young age by himself for himself with always that element of humanity and human compassion and suspense obviously there!! You feel it!! You FEEL it!!
I got an ad for Dunkirk before the video
Can you please do one of these on Ang Lee? I reckon that would be particularly interesting, especially in reference to 'Life of Pi'
True love conquers all is most definitely not the theme of interstellar. Simply a character acting very true to their character. Not Nolan’s personal ideology. Really hate it when people think Nolan was trying to be preachy in that scene
This was great. Makes me REALLY want to make films now
Great analysis. You've earned another sub.
Wow, so you're telling me that Nolan is influenced by other artists AND he tries to leave unanswered questions at the end of his films? The depth of research here is astounding. Plus, your ability to use copyrighted clips from great movies to make your own content seem more impressive, such a clever move.
Denis villneuve next please!!!
Thank you to have a glimpse inside the mind of a genius!!!
Please do a video on David Fincher.
this dude is genius! !!!!!!!!!
He’s not
Kudos guys! Extraordinary video!
What's the footage at 8:34 from?
I just watched Dunkirk its magnificent
1:10 what is this music peice?
Nolan is a living legend.
Great video, but you missed the one that is probably Nolan's biggest influence: Michael Mann, and especially Heat.
woah...I AM SUBSCRIBING to this channel!
Excelente video, congratulations! Subscribed.
Insomnia is the most underrated movie ever made.
That guy it's terrible.
great video. super informative
Blade, Spiderman, X-MEN and The Dark Knight have changed the way superhero genres were looked
could you do a review of brokeback mountain soon
Nolan wrote the final draft of Insomnia. So he did have a part in writing it.
Wait, didn't Tim Burton's Batman have a short origin story or flashback in it??
I think they meant that the entirety of Batman Begins is an origin story. Tim Burton's Batman contains a flashback to his parents death in the alley, but at the beginning of the film Bruce Wayne is already Batman.
well done video. thumbs up!
nice work
"More can be felt in absence."
She said insomnia was often overlooked, and then proceeded to say next to nothing about it.
Interstellar is Truly Nolan's masterpiece and very underrated
smart water mediocre film.
kenneth merced calo why would you say so
Jose Dominguez He is pretentious so he cant like "popular" flims
Not a masterpiece but good
Saw Dunkirk today, and it's the film of the year for me...so superior to all that Hollywood shit, Dunkirk is how you make films, well done Mr Nolan...this film will go down as one of the greats.
Great Video Guys. Could you make a similar video for Damien Chazelle: The Road to First Man?
What a great video, thank you
Forgot Nolan did 'Insomnia'
You got a new subscriber ☺
Can you please do a video like this for Fincher when World War Z 2 comes out?
the prestige was a really good movie
What an inspiring video
I still regret not seeing Interstellar in theaters. I respect Nolan's work a lot and think he's a fantastic director despite what his retractors might say.
Retractors?
Amazing Vídeo
Love Nolan
Excellent.
1:05 Holy fuck! That photo. HAHAHA!
the best director in my opinion:
1. Christopher Nolan
2. Denis Villeneuve
3. David Fincher
4. Alejandro G. Iñárritu
5. Quentin Tarantino
6. Martin Scorsese
7. Paul Thomas Anderson
8. Darren Aronofsky
9. Damien Chazelle (potential)
Muhammad Dakota awful list.
Why no women?
@@kmanet4118
TERRIBLE list
big fan 👆✌
He should have the Kevin Fiege of DC
Why does Bill looks like James Macavoy?
Does Chris Nolan love to eat Corn on the Cobb?
WHO DISLIKES THIS?!
Isn't it shot on 70mm?? And the script was only 79 pages? At least that's what he said in another interview I saw.
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). :)
Thank you for clarifying! :)
Christopher Nolan, Christopher Nolan, makes whatever the fuck he wants.
The script was 76 pages.
#Dunkirk
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.
Dunkirk's script was 76 pages, not 112.
Now do a Bond movie please.
Who is here after Tenet?
GREAT 😁
Not enough time on Insomnia.... but good video regardless
cant agree more
says "stepping stone"
shows Pacino stepping on wood
First :)
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.
