honorable mention to tdk for elevating capeshit material into something worth watching
If you could clone yourself would you have an orgy with yourselves?
Either the prestige or inception. Inception is my favourite of his because I enjoyed it the most and I’ve seen it 3 times
Probably Batman Begins
lmao
Moot point since the machine didn't work

Didnt he clone himself tho? He killed a new him every time he performed.
Prestige or memento
How do you fuck up tying a knot
How many different types of knots do you even know? Im guessing no more than 2
You don't know?
YOU DONT KNOW?!
For me, it's Memento
Bale was distracted or meant it
Borden never met Tesla...
Tesla is in dire financial straits, sees how gullible Angier is, and decides to con him out of some money. Tesla and his manservant manipulate Angier in a long con. They take his money and give him a meaningless light show with the Tesla coil. When Angier gets suspicious, they use a cat to lead Angier to the collection of hates in the field - all placed there by Tesla & co to trick Angier into believing that the machine duplicated them. After Tesla gets all the money he can out of Angier, he gives him the (useless) machine.
Angier realises he was conned and decides to try the same swindle on Borden. If Angier could con Borden into thinking an illusion was real magic, that proves Angier's superiority. He plots extensively, having lifelike dummies in tanks created, the "hats" of the routine, in the hopes that Borden would follow the trail as he did and draw the same conclusion.
When Borden is in gaol, Angier tries again to convince him by manufacturing a diary to support the story. Borden never buys it; he's too canny, and through the diary he sees how Angier was working the con.
When Borden's twin shoots him, Angier finally realizes the simplicity of Borden's trick. Angier considers trying to continue the con (imagining a story of him shooting a duplicate) but realizes he is dying and has lost, so he reveals (this is key) how his goal was always to make the audience believe in the magic and try and forget that it was only an illusion.
The whole movie was structured like a magic trick.
he didn't, she overestimated her abilities
Im ganna have to rewatch this. I forgot about the twin thing
Big if true
They are all decent, but they could have been better if he went with a better composer.
They're all fairly solid, so it might be better to ask 'What's Nolan's best theme or concept?'
Dunkirk

- irregular warfare
- drama within drama (I'm thinking of insomnia being added onto a cop drama, but obviously the story wasn't an original)
- ideation within ideation (memento and inception)
- the desire for fairness in American politics (harvey dent)
- the death-instinct in the scientific-technological society (interstellar)
- the role of a diviner (the joker or the appearance of new tattoos or photos in memento)
- compulsion for order and surveillance (appears as early as the following)
I think Natalie was a great character, but Mal doesn't really approach her. shmoop.com

Sometimes it amazes me what kind of garbage people this subreddit gathers
I've had that for years and I still haven't watched it
It's very low budget, and lack's any action scenes, loved by Nolan's fans
But it's character driven movie, where none of characters is a good person or someone who you could identify with, so it doesn't suit pleb-American taste of storytelling, where viewer has to have bland fag to identify with (e.g Luck Skywalker)
