The Nolans

hippocampus is enough to cause amnesia. This indicates that Nolan portrayed Lenny’s amnesia with a basis in creating lesions in the hippocampus and greater MTL regions, however, the severity of both Lenny’s retrograde and anterograde amnesia are contentious. A study done by Race and Verfaellie (2011) found that “the magnitude of semantic learning deficits in amnesia has been found to correspond to the amount of MTL damage.” This idea shows that Nolan inaccurately portrayed the extent of Lenny’s…

I am going to share with you my nephew Nolan. Nolan was my very first nephew. My sister was 18 when she had him, right after her senior year. So, she was young and really had no business having a child. Nolan’s first 3 years of his life, myself and parents were his constant. We played with him, bathe him, fed him, made sure he was read to every night before bed, and most of all loved him. Nolan started preschool and was a little ham. We thought that this was normal for him since he was still…

It allowed the secretary of the company to forge the consultant’s signature on the checks and make deposits into the most volatile of the business units’ account. Furthermore, AC instructed Page Nolan not to send 1099 to the consultant. It is quite clear that Anonymous Company has ineffective control environment due to negligent management’s role, and communication.

To manipulate one’s audience, one must “give them pleasure. The same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.” Award-winning director, Christopher Nolan clearly portrays this in his films through his trademark directorial style of editing with specific use of non-linear narrative and mise en scene to create tension for his audience Through closely analysing the open scenes of Nolan’s Memento (2000) and Inception (2010), the audience can understand Nolan’s directorial style and the…

several pictures, is nonlinear storytelling or a narrative that takes place in different times. There is almost none of that here in Insomnia, his most straightforward film to date (even The Dark Knight Trilogy included some extended flashbacks). Nolan does seem to want to include some more difficult to follow storytelling, as seen in his insert shots of blood seeping into a fabric, but he never fully goes for it here. Instead, he treats this film like a straight procedural, and that damages…

With Dunkirk Christopher Nolan has reached new heights of filmmaking and he seems to have employed a whole new set of techniques. Gone is the dialogue and one-liners that we associate with Hollywood. No famous Hollywood stars (with a couple of exceptions) are present either. Speaking of stars, the director focuses on the anonymity of a few people, without revealing their names most of the time. And if you expect to watch a war film like Saving Private Ryan you will be disappointed. According to…

there is nothing like this. The most horrifying thing in The Dark Knight is the appearance of the burnt face of Two-Face. Christopher Nolan could have done this to attract younger audiences and leave more of the violence to imagination. Gotham and many of the locations change significantly from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight. In Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan introduces us to the Arkham Asylum, the Narrows, Wayne Tower, and the Wayne-funded public railway system as well as Wayne Manor but in…

ensure the convicted criminals stay behind bars? Nolan: Taking the blame for a crime you haven’t committed but for the greater good of a safer society has merit. Socrates: Is it not a falsehood and a deception to not tell the truth even if it keeps criminals behind bars? Nolan: It may be a falsehood, but the reputation of one man is surely a small price to pay to keep the streets safe? Socrates: You justify Batman’s action from the perspective…

“Carpe Diem” is a significant quote in Peter Weir’s film Dead Poets Society. It is a Latin phrase translating to “Pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the future” or more commonly, “seize the day”. The philosophy and individualism is rigorously explored in the film and this unaided, influences the main characters to pursue individual growth and self-discovery. During this, both positive and negative aspects of the theme are represented through specific scenes, which use…
