Nolan's movies

26/10/2024

Nolan's movies are my favorites. 

Nolan is a genius who is rarely born once in 100 years. I haven't seen all his movies yet, but what I've seen is enough for me to consider him the best director ever.

Tenet, Interstellar, Inception and Prestigiul are films that I see every time they are shown on TV. He deserves the Oscar for everything, not only for Oppenheimer. Tenet deals with reverse engineering, ET from the future and Armageddon. Interstellar deals with space and time travel, astronomy and black holes. Inception deals with the concept of dream within dream within dream. Prestige treats magic and Tesla. 

Connections and Nolan's movies


Everything starts with the end, it's a little puzzle because it confuses you, but once you have placed the puzzle pieces, the drama unfolds normally. In fact, the normal does not exist at Nolan, everything seems like science fiction when in fact it is all pure science. 

 I am so fascinated by Nolan's films that I bought the film scripts and books about Nolan in English to better understand his psychology and vision of the world. I honestly admit that you don't get to see them 10-20 times, you always find hidden and overlooked aspects. 

I had a hard time understanding certain things, Nolan preferring to leave the endings open to everything. 

Truth and Nolan's movies


It is understood that Tenet ends with a happy ending although the drama continues, Interstellar the same with a happy ending but we see that the drama continues, Inception also with a happy ending but you don't know if Cobbs is in a dream or in reality and Prestige is uncertain if the character of the magician played by Hugh Jackman dies or not. I am so obsessed with his films that I would do anything to meet Nolan and ask him what his vision actually was.

Making science fiction-science-magic an art is a gift and Nolan is so gifted that I expect him to win the Oscar again. Science will look more and more like magic, a scientist prophesied recently. 

The magic of films is one of the reasons why we still see films and Nolan's genius is still not widely accepted. He's still young, but I predict a bigger future than Hitchcock, Scorsese or Spielberg. Nolan's films move me a lot, I cry with Matthew McConaughey's character in Interstellar, I hit my head with the science in Tenet, it annoys me in The Prestige how the two magicians bully each other and I die of envy when I see Inception that the heroes walk from a dream in a dream in a dream like Castaneda's Don Juan. 

Exognosis and Nolan's movies


I am fascinated by the magic of movies in general, I have my favorite movies, I watch The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit at least once a week, I watch On the Wings of the Wind at least once every two weeks, I watch Avatar a few times a year, Nolan's movies as many times they are scheduled on TV and so on. I learned a lot from the movies, I had a lot of deja vu during the movies and so I am predestined to learn from the movies. It is the film of my life intertwined with the films I see. 

Even if some condemn the violence in American films, the Americans are still the only ones who move and teach you something in the films. Spielberg, Nolan or Peter Jackson, John Woo, Ridley Scott or Lana Wachowski, they are all geniuses who make you dream but also teach you something. 

Nolan's films are incomparable because you don't understand them at first sight, you have to see them 10-20 times to understand the drama well. If you understand a movie the first time, maybe you don't want to see it again, but when you don't understand then it challenges you to put your intelligence to the test and that's how you create new neurons.
