  • The Director's Chair: How to Write and Direct a Movie like Christopher Nolan ►► bit.ly/2JNbfLN
    Understanding how Christopher Nolan movies work so well is to understand more than cinema or the ability to film in Imax. You’ve watched Interstellar, Insomnia, Dunkirk, and The Dark Knight Trilogy (Batman), and love the cinematic storytelling from this prolific director and filmmaker in general. It doesn’t hurt when you have a Hans Zimmer score too. But what's it like actually being in the Director's chair?
    Christopher Nolan movies like Memento and The Prestige reminds us, filmmakers, what cinema is all about, and film directing and editing has rarely been so good. Maybe you think best Christopher Nolan movies have Tom Hardy or Christian Bale in them - but the Dark Knight Rises movie had both… so that sort of disproves that theory.
    Directing films and cinema like Christopher Nolan takes years or practice and research into filmmaking. That’s why Christopher Nolan movies can take you on a deep journey, and this video essay will show you how he keeps everything consistent in his films.
    If you love Christopher Nolan movies, don’t write another page or direct another scene until you’ve seen our video essay. You don’t need a big Imax cinema to be able to make a film like Christopher Nolan. All you need is a good mind and hard work.
    Christopher Nolan editing techniques also come into play, so learn how he directs a movie that will eventually be cut together in a somewhat unconventional manner.
    The end result: You will know how to direct a movie like Christopher Nolan, and perhaps you will direct the next Dark Knight trilogy or Interstellar.
    Enter the Director's chair to find out exactly how Christopher Nolan directs and edits his movies.

      For me, I think it's the non-linear storytelling. It's because I love how Christopher Nolan told the story in Memento. It is just gripping as I'm watching it multiple times.

      TheRealDyscyples producers are just the business aspect, I don’t care as much about producers because the better directors take helm of their own projects and make masterworks of film. That being said, it’s Kubrick, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa, Lynch, Ozu, Fellini, Welles, and those are just on the upper echelon of filmmakers, while I’m not going to undermine Nolan’s talent, there are tons of filmmakers above him, better than him, and you can’t watch 2000 films and say Nolan is a genius, not with the standards that many before him have set that Nolan isn’t close to reaching, that no filmmaker today is close to reaching, there’s a whole bar below that the best of the best are reaching before they could ever reach that of the old masters.

      I think they're both great writers because Chris saw potential in Memento story, wrote Inception, Dunkirk & Tenet and always pushes the limits in practical stunts while Jonathan wrote most of TDK in 2005 and original Interstellar script, so no need to sayChris is not a writer too.
