- Episode 075: Film and Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan is one of Hollywood's best. Though perhaps best known for the Batman trilogy, he's produced a dozen excellent films. Join Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Bonaventure Chapman as they explore what animates Nolan's project as he seeks to get at what makes the human person tick.

I love denis villenueve, specifically his movie prisoners
14:00 I don't think this interpretation of Memento is correct, though it is a super popular take. If you look at the film closely, you'll realize there are no fixed identities and stories to draw an established truth from, even the cut-away to the mental hospital is ambiguous. The characters don't see each other for who they are at any point and the film never ends up telling you the truth, you have to find in the implications, the killer.
Love the connection made between deceiving ourselves and sinning.
Awesome Fathers! God bless the Dominicans!
Not everyday do you hear someone say they're in Thorp, WI! Cheers to you Fr. Chapman! I'm just a stones throw away in Eau Claire, WI. May God bless you!
Western, WI repping!
Great discussion!
I'm currently teaching two Nolan films (Inception and Momento)...maybe I can slip in some Dominican analysis into my teaching :-)
Just add that like Dunkirk, Nolan also presents 3 story arcs in Inception that intersect, though not quite simultaneously.
Nice work guys. Idris Elba wasn't in Interstellar. The character you are thinking about was played by David Gyasi :)
Ahh, thanks Ben!
Would love to see a discussion of Terry Gilliam, particularly Time Bandits, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Hilarious, profound, and also plays with time in interesting ways (in both films). Also, Peter Weir. Check him out, particularly my fave Master and Commander. Great commentary, gentlemen, I look forward to more.
But, sometimes life, as Jane Austin says, “seems but a quick succession of busy nothings”.
What happens to the human soul of the person who develops organic demetia?
People can live in such a manner for,many years .
I going to watch Tenet by Christopher Nolan. I hope to understand it.
