David Murphy Given how genius he is, he should know. Based on what I’ve seen though he’s an extremely humble person. He doesn’t like to show off, he just likes making brilliant work 😂 Truly the best kind of artist there is.
That's right - he's the initiative, he made his own first film (Following - approx. $5000) with his own money as opposed to relying on others to provide dough. I personally know a friend who spent five years trying to collect enough to make his first feature, but seriously, do it yourself. Then you have a film, at least! It's easier to get distribution deals and funding if you're a proven director (even if the film sucks, you've done something). Think of Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi) and Kevin Smith (Clerks). Nolan seen those films prior to making Following, he studied them in depth and grew in his craft - that's what taught him filmmaking - observing others, how they steadied the shot, blocked the actors - how to tell a compelling story. Nolan grew in skill by watching other films. He read a lot as well. He didn't need to blow through thousands at the New York Film Academy (for example), and today he's Hollywood's best. I you plan to be a filmmaker, writer, or anything else that falls under the title of "creativity," do it yourself, then see where you land - and it you fail - rinse, wash, repeat. This is what Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford did - they failed a thousand times before reaching stardom, Cruise was living in his car for years! But that's the catch. One cannot give up in this industry. This is how Nolan made it big. Without Following, there'd be no Dunkirk today, and no dark theater (IMAX) to watch as the lights go down, and the sound splashes in, as a twinkle of light breaks open a dark screen, revealing the first shots of a grand spectacle.
Interstellar , inception , momento , all created by him (and his brother you might say)......like from scratch. and this being an adaptation of an event and to shape it the way he did...... the top just got higher.
Interstellar - boring and dull ending. Inception - logical mistakes along the whole movie. Memento - genius new way, but in the end boring. Dunkirk - great pictures, terrific sound, boring movie to the bottom.
The simple fact that he looks at his shots and tries to place himself as an audience member lets me know that he is a still passionate filmmaker.(I like his movies regardless) He always trying to innovate and really draw you in to the story, not just tell it. Anyone who hasn't seen Dunkirk is missing out.
I can understand everything he says, but getting to the point of thinking it all through as he does is unbelievable. It's such an impressive way of thinking. For me, he managed to succeed in everything he explained in this interview. I have huge respect for this man and hope for many more films to come !
There's a quiet power in Nolan. It's a rare thing in the industry. He's also probably the last of his kind; having come along just on the cusp of modern media tech. As a result his was a much more organic success story. The talent of today won't fare as well.
I'm very impressed and moved after watching Christopher Nolans Dunkirk movie. The film was more than I had hoped for. I couldn't help feeling that deep sense of ingrained pride for our nation and of all the people who fought and died during WW2 (My great grandfather being one of them who actually died at Dunkirk) The movie has ultra realism and accuracy so it feels as if you're witnessing the events as if it were 77 years ago. The harrowing visuals are astounding and I kept thinking about all who must have gone through everything that I was watching on screen. The aerial fighting scenes are beautiful and spectacular to watch with some terrifying and heroic scenes. The fantastic soundtrack carries through the whole story with an urgent soaring scale. There is little dialogue as there is a lot of clever visual story telling. No one person is the central character of the film as it's more about the event and everybody in it. There are many moments that will bring anyone close to tears and after it was over I couldn't quite move from my seat for a while due to contemplating on everything I'd seen. This is for sure Nolans greatest film and will be remembered as a world war 2 movie classic for years. I highly recommend anyone to go see it while it's still at the cinema.
It's funny due to not my perfect English language I barely understood anyone said in their proper English accent in DUNKIRK. And still I understood what going on in the movie. It kept me guessing whats gonna happen next, a lot of tension,confusion and suspense were mixed in.But as a whole everything was clear what is happening.
It is shocking to see that so few people on the internet seem to understand Dunkirk and what Nolan visually does with the film. So many people complain about the lacking gore, the film being boring (lol, what?), no character development (heck, there is some, decent and visually), no dramatic characters etc. I understand Nolan but don't understand those people. This film is a masterpiece for what it is and I hope Nolan finally gets the award season recognition he deserves.
amit I hope you are being sarcastic because if you are not you are one sad fkcer calling somebody rasist for admiring somebody's blue eyes makes you wonder who the racist really is
My all time favourite director. Discovered back in 2007 from The Prestige and eversince has stirred imaginations in every possible direction to every possible dimension.
The stream of consciousness that comes from his mind is unlike anyone else I've ever heard. He speaks with such intense clarity - it's akin to the clarity of a great writer. Yet it's just his moment-to-moment thoughts. A gifted mind!
+jimmyholster Uh, okay. If you say so. One could argue that cinematography is slightly more difficult an art than utensil use, but maybe you're a better forker than I can comprehend. I don't believe directing movies is quite as easy as you'd have it sound, though.
Nolan is one of the best talents in directing alongside PT Anderson, Wes Anderson and a few others. Wonder if he will ever reach the big legends like Scorsese, Spielberg and Coppola.
Abdulrahman Mahmoud هههههههههههههههههههههه انت يعجبك اسوأ افلام نولان. ماشاء الله على النظرة الثاقبة. Lemme guess. You think inception and Dunkirk and the prestige too boring. This dude is hailed as the next Spielberg and you call him boring. يعني هذا دليل على ذكائك الخارق
What I love is his justification for his choices. Whether you like the film or not, you can't argue that every moment in this movie was purposefully curated for the viewer by Nolan and his team. That's the difference between a good filmmaker and a great filmmaker.
You don't need to go to film school. Tarantino and Spielberg also didn't. You can learn here with a lot of tutorial or read books. I recommend "Story" by Robert McKee and "Grammar of the film language" by Daniel Arijon. It's all there. Then you must practice, practice, practice, write and direct as much as you can. Good luck!
There are far more that he intended to do with this film especially with how actors are expressing their own emotions with various ways, and so as how situations are so realistically described as well, what I am so surprised is that with this 9 min interview he is very easily delivering all of the important points that people need to focus mainly; its rather a guidance than a interview of the movie, thats how I feel about this inter view. Simply amazing
Did you have any trouble making out the dialogue? Because that would be my only major issue with the film. Which is otherwise a masterpiece and deserves all kinds of awards.
@Bernard Black. Actually I did, yea. For me it wasn't because of the audio quality or it being too low or anything. But it was some of the accents that gave me a little trouble in figuring out some words they were saying. I don't think that's the fault of the movie or Nolan though but just me having a hard time with some of the accents. But it definitely wasn't often enough to ruin anything. I'll be happy to have subtitles though when it comes out on blu-ray that's for sure haha.
Oh yea I totally agree. I had no problem with there being accents. It's just a little difficult sometimes for me to hear certain words in different accents from different countries. Definitely not implying that I want everything to sound like American accents or anything, cuz that's not what I mean. I'm perfectly happy with how the movie handled all that, it seems accurate enough to me. But like I said I'm certainly excited for the blu-ray to come out so I can get some subtitles and rewatch it again. I already saw it twice in theaters, I just love it so much.
For me personally Wally Pfister is a better cinematographer for Nolan films than hoyte van hoyetama. It's just my opinion I am not saying who is the best.
he is the most impecible film maker ever.....firstly putting urself into the shoes of the audience.....framing the working movements of their mindsets....and then finally putting and altering his own style of filmmaking accordingly....
best war movie ever made will always be Apocalypse Now / Full Metal Jacket - That Circus scene with Roach, Shit was madness caught in film. And that graduation night watch scene is so vivid. No one can forget such violence and tragedy in one scene.
On ne doit pas injurier l'Histoire Comme Christofer NOLAN !! Ainsi : For the stupid men, who think that the French Army has not fought in 1940, see the battle of Stonne , the Cadets de Saumur , the colonial troops ! The French Air Force destroyed 1600 german air plane and resisted in DUNKERQUE for the British Army could save their soldiers , with their ass !! And could continued the War! In Bir-Hakem , 3700 FFL troops resisted against 60 000 germans soldiers and permetted at The British Troops to go in El-Alamein, there are many exemple of feats of French Troops!
Chris Corley hmm Memento, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar aren't the masterpieces everybody said they were, so I was more than pleasantly surprised by this one.
I’m watching it again just to hear his voice and the video! Best interview video I’ve ever seen! Could you please tell me which mic 🎙 and lens used to film this interview? Please!
He is an incredible brilliant director, so involved in the whole process. And am I the only one who finds his voice so calming? All that said, Nolan is one of a kind genius.
Enormously helpful interview from Nolan for a young filmmaker like myself. I love how you can see the informed choices he makes in the final product of his films; he has ideas and beliefs that make it through from inception to theatres. I particularly respect how he carefully crafted this film mathematically and then wrote it subjectively. My own personal mantra while making films starting out is KISS: "Keep It Simple, Stupid". I find this works well even when things are complex. He also espouses the same sentiment that the editor for Jaws had in that the audience doesn't know, nor care, how difficult something was to film, they care about what ends up on screen and whether the images matter within the film. After seeing it in IMAX I wholly agree that that this is a virtual reality experience without the goggles.
I never understood end of interstellar, prestige,inception,dark knight rises ... Sometimes watching his movies makes me so depressed that i start believing that i m a dumb creature..very challenging movies
He is a film school. The kind of factors and verticals that need to be perfectly coordinated to come up with a masterpiece like this- it is insanely difficult. And he delivers every time. So lucky to be watching his films and cherishing it :) Totally unrelated and insignificant but he is outrageously handsome too 😂 God really took his time in designing this human being.
You guys better not say it’s a good movie, you guys don’t réalisé more than 50k french soldiers sacrifice them selves to save the English soldiers, quotes by the germains ,”French soldiers fight us for a ratio of 1:20 soldiers we had numbers and everything but held on” even if you english came at the end of the war do not forget all the French soldiers
Top Movies in my Opinion of 2017 so far: 1-Dunkirk (Theres no Lead actor or Protagonist, the movie itself is the protagonist and outstanding Musical score by the Great Hans Zimmer. So far Tom Hardy is A great choice for this kind of Movies, Nolan is a Genius and The amount of Intense moments of this movie amaze me. The screenplay is really amazing. Truly A different and outstanding war Film. Im gonna be honest i cried while watching It.) 2-Baby Driver (A well made, good and enjoyable movies for the audience, really good screenplay, great stunt players and Well made script. Edgar Wright made A great movie, really awesome and the Cast Is amazing.) 3-Alien Covenant (Im a huge Alien Fan, this movie delivers great Visual effects, A wonderful Soundtrack, and Ridley scott is trying to Reboot or "taking care" of The Alien Franchise. The Acting was really good in my opinion, David is A Great Villan, but the only thing that Pisses me Off is the that the Cast is so Predictable and Clichè. The movie left you asking more Things than answers for yourself, which is a mystery.) 4-The Mommy (Great Visual effects, but lacks of efforts of Acting, script and Cast. Yet and enjoyable film but The original Movie is Better than the Reboot. Only the things that worries me more is The *DARK UNIVERSE*... These monsters are so Iconic that are been left to Oblivion, they need a comeback) 5-Spider man Homecoming (Its a good movie, but really Odd in my Opinion, i loved the soundtrack too, but the cast and characters are so Cringy And contains Many SJW Moments in the movie which made me uncomfortable while watching it. Tom Holland is a Good Actor, but this movie is just another Marvel Movie between other Marvel Movies, yet a Good movie by the way) 6-Atomic Blonde (Atomic clichè dissapointment) 7-Despicable Me 3 (Oh brother what a boring movie, such a stupid and Boring story it has, yet the amount of Cash grab its trying to obtain, such a boring and Mediocre movie) 8-Valerian (Wow such a Beautiful Effects, Creatures, and CGI. What a shitty acting tho. This movie is a Predictable, and Cringy. Waste of Potential by the lead Actors.) 9-Transformers 5 (Its Micheal Bay, what do you Expect? Dont watch this movie if you are a Hardcore transformer fan like me, please dont watch it.) 10-(Cancer) Emoji movie (0% on rotten tomatoes, Dont watch this piece of 💩. Becuse this movie gave me Hedache just watching The Trailer: DONT WATCH SONY SHITTY EMOJI MOVIE)
For me this movie feels like a very long well made tv commercial or music video..the last couple minutes could just be the best Elgar music video Elgar could ever wish!
I wonder if he knows just how amazing he is.
David Murphy Given how genius he is, he should know. Based on what I’ve seen though he’s an extremely humble person. He doesn’t like to show off, he just likes making brilliant work 😂 Truly the best kind of artist there is.
Im sure he doesn't and thats good, it gives him motivation to keep creating something amazing
Master Chief Petty Officer he’s the goat!
Jonathan Nolan is shaping up to be one of the greats as well!
The best artists are proud of their work but also humble about themselves. I'm sure Nolan understands that balance as any great filmmaker does
This dude is a genius. And he never attended one day of film school
He took english literature of UCL but became the president of the college's film society right?
He didn't? Wow that makes me feel a lot better about directing stuff now ;-;
and he doesn't have a smartphone
That's right - he's the initiative, he made his own first film (Following - approx. $5000) with his own money as opposed to relying on others to provide dough. I personally know a friend who spent five years trying to collect enough to make his first feature, but seriously, do it yourself. Then you have a film, at least!

Sigma Tech yeah actually he got rejected from film school lmao
Top notch. It seems like every criticism I have heard so far is largely addressed in this clip (personal opinion and preference notwithstanding).
Same here!
Classy filmmaker. Top of his game.
Harrison Clark i would argue that inception andninterstelllar were the top of his game.
oooodaxteroooo He's always been at the top of his game. Inception is, in my opinion, his greatest achievement.
Harrison Clark i enjoyed memento more. Its great
Interstellar , inception , momento , all created by him (and his brother you might say)......like from scratch.
and this being an adaptation of an event and to shape it the way he did...... the top just got higher.
Interstellar - boring and dull ending. Inception - logical mistakes along the whole movie. Memento - genius new way, but in the end boring. Dunkirk - great pictures, terrific sound, boring movie to the bottom.
I want Nolan's voice to read me books on my Kindle and tell me where to go on GPS.
Matt Nakata ohh yes
'In 2017 meters, take the exit at Dunkirk', haha imagine his voice say that
Nolan's accent is wonderful.
He's not made a bad film. Nolan fanboy is a bad term? He's a fucking icon of modern cinema, more so than Fincher or Tarantino.
The simple fact that he looks at his shots and tries to place himself as an audience member lets me know that he is a still passionate filmmaker.(I like his movies regardless) He always trying to innovate and really draw you in to the story, not just tell it.
Anyone who hasn't seen Dunkirk is missing out.
So inspiring! When a master of storytelling talks, you have to listen!
Best ASMR video so far
I can understand everything he says, but getting to the point of thinking it all through as he does is unbelievable. It's such an impressive way of thinking.
For me, he managed to succeed in everything he explained in this interview.
I have huge respect for this man and hope for many more films to come !

i'm not gay but i love this man
I'm not man but i love this gay
i am a girl, but i love this man too!
You can be a man, and love another man, and not be gay, Don't let the world tell you otherwise.
silvermoonredmoon I'm not love but I gay you man 👍
hahah, i gay you too man.
I'm very impressed and moved after watching Christopher Nolans Dunkirk movie. The film was more than I had hoped for.

He structures his story telling so well, and it's lovely to hear him talk about how.
It is shocking to see that so few people on the internet seem to understand Dunkirk and what Nolan visually does with the film.

I will say it:
One of the greatest war films ever made.
Centrist Philosopher it's more of a thriller than war film...
Mike H ...war is a thriller
Isaac Hall it's a thriller set during war.
Just because it's not Saving Private Ryan doesn't mean it's not a war film.
Waylon Fairbanks ROFL
This man needs to narrate documentaries and books
Just watched it on cinema last sunday, fucking MIND blowing, an incredible high for real !
Master film maker. So many great films. Dunkirk was exceptional!
This guy is a genius with many films such as inception and the dark night series behind him that are great may I add
Nolan has gifted mankind with another masterpiece!
He is just ahead of the curve
Great director.... and those blue eyes are outstanding.
I looove them
Don Vito Corleone don't be racist
Irony is that he is colour blind.....!
amit I hope you are being sarcastic because if you are not you are one sad fkcer calling somebody rasist for admiring somebody's blue eyes makes you wonder who the racist really is
Some people discern words differently.
My all time favourite director. Discovered back in 2007 from The Prestige and eversince has stirred imaginations in every possible direction to every possible dimension.
The stream of consciousness that comes from his mind is unlike anyone else I've ever heard. He speaks with such intense clarity - it's akin to the clarity of a great writer. Yet it's just his moment-to-moment thoughts. A gifted mind!
That lighting is amazing!
he is a genius.
Based on what? His ability to direct a movie? Well shit, I'm a genius because I can use a fork.
+jimmyholster Uh, okay. If you say so. One could argue that cinematography is slightly more difficult an art than utensil use, but maybe you're a better forker than I can comprehend. I don't believe directing movies is quite as easy as you'd have it sound, though.
The Gandalf of movie universe ...
Nolan is one of the best talents in directing alongside PT Anderson, Wes Anderson and a few others. Wonder if he will ever reach the big legends like Scorsese, Spielberg and Coppola.
as a filmmaker He is my inspiration
بالنسبة لك كمشاهد عادي ,, لكن بالنسبة لي كمخرج كريستوفر واحد من عظماء السينما الحديثة
Abdulrahman Mahmoud هههههههههههههههههههههه انت يعجبك اسوأ افلام نولان. ماشاء الله على النظرة الثاقبة. Lemme guess. You think inception and Dunkirk and the prestige too boring. This dude is hailed as the next Spielberg and you call him boring. يعني هذا دليل على ذكائك الخارق
Abdulrahman Mahmoud هههههههههه نظرة خارقة بالفن؟؟؟ ياللتواضع. اكبر دليل على انعدام النظر اساسا لديك هو انك يعجبك batman beginsهههههه
Same here.
He loves his job thats why he puts so much effort in his films, a great genius
What I love is his justification for his choices. Whether you like the film or not, you can't argue that every moment in this movie was purposefully curated for the viewer by Nolan and his team. That's the difference between a good filmmaker and a great filmmaker.
You don't need to go to film school. Tarantino and Spielberg also didn't. You can learn here with a lot of tutorial or read books. I recommend "Story" by Robert McKee and "Grammar of the film language" by Daniel Arijon. It's all there. Then you must practice, practice, practice, write and direct as much as you can. Good luck!
José Trinidad thank you
There are far more that he intended to do with this film especially with how actors are expressing their own emotions with various ways, and so as how situations are so realistically described as well, what I am so surprised is that with this 9 min interview he is very easily delivering all of the important points that people need to focus mainly; its rather a guidance than a interview of the movie, thats how I feel about this inter view. Simply amazing
Super smart man. Love this dude's work.
Nolan+Zimmer=LEGENDARY MASTERPIECE.
Best Sound & Best Sound editing is for sure to win the OSCARS 2018
Did you have any trouble making out the dialogue? Because that would be my only major issue with the film. Which is otherwise a masterpiece and deserves all kinds of awards.
@Bernard Black. Actually I did, yea. For me it wasn't because of the audio quality or it being too low or anything. But it was some of the accents that gave me a little trouble in figuring out some words they were saying. I don't think that's the fault of the movie or Nolan though but just me having a hard time with some of the accents. But it definitely wasn't often enough to ruin anything. I'll be happy to have subtitles though when it comes out on blu-ray that's for sure haha.
Being British myself, I do think the accents were necessary. Britain it's self has all sorts of accents.
Oh yea I totally agree. I had no problem with there being accents. It's just a little difficult sometimes for me to hear certain words in different accents from different countries. Definitely not implying that I want everything to sound like American accents or anything, cuz that's not what I mean. I'm perfectly happy with how the movie handled all that, it seems accurate enough to me. But like I said I'm certainly excited for the blu-ray to come out so I can get some subtitles and rewatch it again. I already saw it twice in theaters, I just love it so much.
skywalkerpotter21 Also best picture and director
So inspiring to hear Mr Christopher NOLAN..
The living legend of 21st century.
What an incredible man! He is truly great.
He is so humble.
The master key to success
Great speech and meanings, Nolan awesome movie designer
Nolan and McDonough are masters of their craft.
Amazing director, amazing movie. If only we had one IMAX movie theatre in this shitty country.
I've seen the movie 3 times... The 3rd time I watched it with people who didn't know English, and they enjoyed it!
Albert Richard i watched it 8x in theaters 🙈
For me personally Wally Pfister is a better cinematographer for Nolan films than hoyte van hoyetama. It's just my opinion I am not saying who is the best.
A master of cinema.
I just lke his talking style !
he is the most impecible film maker ever.....firstly putting urself into the shoes of the audience.....framing the working movements of their mindsets....and then finally putting and altering his own style of filmmaking accordingly....
like if you want a comedy film written and directed by Nolan.
One hell of a film you've made ... well done sir.
so refreshing listening to intelligent people speak... so many people with a platform these days are just dumb.
So he uses mathematical diagram and geometric diagrams for war films..😂🤣🤣🤣
This is the best war film ever made, and will likely remain so for quite some time. An epic masterpiece from Nolan!
I'm as big of a Nolan fan as the next, but I wouldn't say Dunkirk is the best war film ever
It was an excellent movie but I don't think it's the best war movie ever made
best war movie ever.
best war movie ever made will always be Apocalypse Now / Full Metal Jacket - That Circus scene with Roach, Shit was madness caught in film. And that graduation night watch scene is so vivid. No one can forget such violence and tragedy in one scene.
So this is the first war movie you've ever seen then?
His IQ must be up in the clouds....
On ne doit pas injurier l'Histoire Comme Christofer NOLAN !!
Ainsi : For the stupid men, who think that the French Army has not fought in 1940, see the battle of Stonne , the Cadets de Saumur , the colonial troops ! The French Air Force destroyed 1600 german air plane and resisted in DUNKERQUE for the British Army could save their soldiers , with their ass !! And could continued the War!
In Bir-Hakem , 3700 FFL troops resisted against 60 000 germans soldiers and permetted at The British Troops to go in El-Alamein, there are many exemple of feats of French Troops!
Why would 2 people dislike Chris Nolan.
His most important film since Memento. Brilliant.
Dunkirk is his best film, go see it if you haven't already.
Lewis Cranston except for the dark knight
Lewis Cranston Mmm, I think he has several other films that are much better.
Chris Corley hmm Memento, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar aren't the masterpieces everybody said they were, so I was more than pleasantly surprised by this one.
Nah I prefer inception and tdk
I’m watching it again just to hear his voice and the video! Best interview video I’ve ever seen! Could you please tell me which mic 🎙 and lens used to film this interview? Please!
He is an incredible brilliant director, so involved in the whole process. And am I the only one who finds his voice so calming? All that said, Nolan is one of a kind genius.
Sorry, I love his films so much, but this the first time I've ever watched a Christopher Nolan interview and I am fully blinded by his baby blues.
Albert Einstein in Film Industry.
In my opinion he's the best director of our time!
L E G E N D
Nolan's best film to date! Dunkirk is easily one of the greatest war films out there, right behind Saving Private Ryan.
His voice can put me to sleep
5:18 2 +2 is four minus 1 that's 3 .... nolan doing quick MAth lads & gents
Best film I seen this year, best war film I ever seen, but ironically it didn't feel like a war film.
this was an amazing aesthetic film it win awards for sure
interesting lighting and setup for an interview piece, but it's nice and different
Dunkirk is the most intense movie I've ever seen in my life
Enormously helpful interview from Nolan for a young filmmaker like myself. I love how you can see the informed choices he makes in the final product of his films; he has ideas and beliefs that make it through from inception to theatres. I particularly respect how he carefully crafted this film mathematically and then wrote it subjectively.
My own personal mantra while making films starting out is KISS: "Keep It Simple, Stupid". I find this works well even when things are complex. He also espouses the same sentiment that the editor for Jaws had in that the audience doesn't know, nor care, how difficult something was to film, they care about what ends up on screen and whether the images matter within the film.
After seeing it in IMAX I wholly agree that that this is a virtual reality experience without the goggles.
Fascinating that such an intelligent man could forget to show the people of colour the Africans , Indians and of course Women. Where are they?
Why would they be in a film about Dunkirk?
This Gentlemen is my inspiration. Just came home from the 3rd screening of Dunkirk in 4DX. Will probably go in IMAX tomorrow.
James what the hell is 4DX
Christopher Nolan works with Hans Zimmer and Steven Spielberg works with John Williams
Fantastic film. Great way of shooting motion pictures on celluloid film. Great colour.
Congratulations on your first Oscar nomination for directing, Christopher Nolan! It is well-deserved
I never understood end of interstellar, prestige,inception,dark knight rises ... Sometimes watching his movies makes me so depressed that i start believing that i m a dumb creature..very challenging movies
he is a great director one of my favourites and this film was amazing ive seen it twice already
Damn I love that man so much
He is a film school. The kind of factors and verticals that need to be perfectly coordinated to come up with a masterpiece like this- it is insanely difficult. And he delivers every time. So lucky to be watching his films and cherishing it :) Totally unrelated and insignificant but he is outrageously handsome too 😂 God really took his time in designing this human being.
Awesome 👏
Incredible, incredible interview, video, and dat sweet audio.
You guys better not say it’s a good movie, you guys don’t réalisé more than 50k french soldiers sacrifice them selves to save the English soldiers, quotes by the germains ,”French soldiers fight us for a ratio of 1:20 soldiers we had numbers and everything but held on” even if you english came at the end of the war do not forget all the French soldiers
There's probably only 2 or something directors that could be talked in the same level of Nolan as the greatest director of 21 century do far
What happens to the Tom Hardy character after he's taken prisoner? There's your movie...
The name Nolan means 'Champion' in Irish. No coincidence Christopher is the Champion of movies.
Christopher Nolan or Harry Enfield
Really enjoyed the movie in a way that I was in constant turmoil and unlimited build up. Blubbed a lot by the end.
How badly lit is this interview.. He looks ten times older and the highlights of his face are completely blown out.
Yes you absolute genius.
Chrostopher Nolan, are you the Internet Historian??? :O
The master 👏👏👏
Top Movies in my Opinion of 2017 so far:
1-Dunkirk (Theres no Lead actor or Protagonist, the movie itself is the protagonist and outstanding Musical score by the Great Hans Zimmer. So far Tom Hardy is A great choice for this kind of Movies, Nolan is a Genius and The amount of Intense moments of this movie amaze me. The screenplay is really amazing. Truly A different and outstanding war Film. Im gonna be honest i cried while watching It.)
2-Baby Driver (A well made, good and enjoyable movies for the audience, really good screenplay, great stunt players and Well made script. Edgar Wright made A great movie, really awesome and the Cast Is amazing.)
3-Alien Covenant (Im a huge Alien Fan, this movie delivers great Visual effects, A wonderful Soundtrack, and Ridley scott is trying to Reboot or "taking care" of The Alien Franchise. The Acting was really good in my opinion, David is A Great Villan, but the only thing that Pisses me Off is the that the Cast is so Predictable and Clichè. The movie left you asking more Things than answers for yourself, which is a mystery.)
4-The Mommy (Great Visual effects, but lacks of efforts of Acting, script and Cast. Yet and enjoyable film but The original Movie is Better than the Reboot. Only the things that worries me more is The *DARK UNIVERSE*... These monsters are so Iconic that are been left to Oblivion, they need a comeback)
5-Spider man Homecoming (Its a good movie, but really Odd in my Opinion, i loved the soundtrack too, but the cast and characters are so Cringy And contains Many SJW Moments in the movie which made me uncomfortable while watching it. Tom Holland is a Good Actor, but this movie is just another Marvel Movie between other Marvel Movies, yet a Good movie by the way)
6-Atomic Blonde (Atomic clichè dissapointment)
7-Despicable Me 3 (Oh brother what a boring movie, such a stupid and Boring story it has, yet the amount of Cash grab its trying to obtain, such a boring and Mediocre movie)
8-Valerian (Wow such a Beautiful Effects, Creatures, and CGI. What a shitty acting tho. This movie is a Predictable, and Cringy. Waste of Potential by the lead Actors.)
9-Transformers 5 (Its Micheal Bay, what do you Expect? Dont watch this movie if you are a Hardcore transformer fan like me, please dont watch it.)
10-(Cancer) Emoji movie (0% on rotten tomatoes, Dont watch this piece of 💩. Becuse this movie gave me Hedache just watching The Trailer: DONT WATCH SONY SHITTY EMOJI MOVIE)
Genaro Siles I feel like this list is just full of movies that you've seen in 2017, not the best films of 2017...
Some goofs re not real goofs. They are there for purpose such as yellow nose and stuff.
He makes amazing films. TeamNolan.
Too much white male in WW II (с) Call of duty 2017 :o))))
But seriously - my favourite movie director. controversial, but great film
No green screen or cgi at all in this movie. Now that’s impressive
Should have used the parachute at the end.
Brendan Hall and die due to the fact it wouldn't work properly?
For me this movie feels like a very long well made tv commercial or music video..the last couple minutes could just be the best Elgar music video Elgar could ever wish!
