The Nolans

Albert Huang Mr. Robbins Period 5 3/14/15 Strength of the idea In the conversation defining the all-time greatest director in the movie industry, several names, may never be absent. Among those that legend isn’t a powerful enough word to describe their merits, one name has appeared like the transit of Venus. It’s never as magnificent as the darkness of an eclipse, but has attracted countless followers with its distinctive glamour. It’s always close by the orbit of our lives, but yet so far away…

Christopher Nolan is a director who has won many awards due to his films, even though he has only been a director since 1998. A lot of the time Christopher Nolan uses low lighting, backlighting, jump cuts and a lot of close ups to try to portray messages into his film; especially his use of sound which is used to create suspense in the audience. I have chosen Christopher Nolan's 2005 masterpiece Batman Begins to analyze. I have decided to look at 'The Train Scene' in the film -This scene has a…

Batman. In the film, the Joker says, “I don’t want to kill you. What would I do without you? … No.. You… You… compete me... To them, you’re just a freak, like me.” It tells that Batman is the man who created a devil incarnate, the Joker. Christopher Nolan made the moral philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche that says “… and he who would be a creator in good and evil, he must first be a destroyer and shatter values. Thus the highest evil belongs to the highest good” as a key theme of the film .…

Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan, is by far my favorite movie of all time. From top shelf actors, to the unbelievably intricate script, it is simply a production masterpiece through and through. From start to finish, Nolan uses the depth and complexity of the plot to have the audience asking questions that can only truly be answered based off each person’s own opinion about what they saw in the movie. As well as second to none visuals and crisp execution of every single scene. From the…

Done by Joshua nagenthiram Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan where we see the film through the perspective of the main character Leonard Shelby. Leonard has short term memory and only remembers certain glimpses of his past. The way this film is shot is through Leonard’s point of view where you see how his short term memory effects him with grasping things together and most of the time we’re just confused as he is. The film is shot backwards and is like a puzzle…

Christopher Nolan, the genius behind the movie idea “Inception” created plot that blew people’s mind. Inception was the kind of movie that got people thinking and trying to unravel its complex twist while yet entertained and thrilled. The movie was to showcase a dream within a dream within a dream.

Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy. The first movie being Batman Begins (2005), and the most recent movie being The Dark Knight Rises (2012). The trilogy follows the story of a young Bruce Wayne up to the developed Batman we know today. Nolan 's outstanding creativity allowed him to take a completely different view on what was once just a children 's comic book. Also, the performances of all the actors were spectacular, but the role that Heath Ledger played as the Joker is one that…

directed by the one and only Christopher Nolan, is a perfect example of that. Like many superhero movies, it has a hero and an anti-hero. Featuring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman who is the hero and Heath Ledger as the Joker who played the anti-hero. The Joker’s main purpose is to bring chaos to the people of Gotham city, so Batman must come to terms with one of the greatest psychological trial run of his capability to fight injustice. Christopher Nolan was greatly influenced by the…

Best Pitcher Nolan Ryan is no question the best MLB pitcher of all time. Nolan has put up a total of 5,714 strikeouts in his career. The reason he had this many strike outs was because the average pitcher in the MLB throws 95.3 MPH. But Nolan threw a pitch that was said to be 108 MPH, in 1974! The average pitch speed back then was 85 MPH! Nolan was also able to put fear into other players. There were some players that didn't even want to step into the batter's box when Nolan was pitching, and…
