Christopher Nolan- The Creator of Some Of The Most Confusing Films In History!

Christopher Nolan In Action

Christopher Nolan is now a well known Director with films such as Momento, Inception and the Batman Trilogy to his name.

Born on the 30th July 1970, Christopher's passion for film started at an early age with him making his own short films on his dad's 8mm Camera. It wouldn't be too long until he picked up his first 16mm camera to make his first independent films for UCL's(University College London) film society whilst studying a degree in English Literature.

Christopher's first film

His first film The Following (1998) was made on a budget of just over £3819.95 ($6,000) and earned récognition at a number of international film festivals.
The Black Noir Thriller was written and directed by Christopher himself.

Brilliant Film but utterly confusing

It wasn't until 2000 when his second and rather confusing film Momento hit the screens that Christopher began to be a well known name in Hollywood. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best ScreenPlay- Motion Picture as well as two Oscars.

Heath Ledger's best role. 

It wasn't until the Batman Trilogy that Christopher Nolan became a household name, with it's epic conclusion finishing last year with The Dark Night Rises. Taking on a well known and much loved franchise of film making would be tough, but unlike the original cartoon like films of the old, Christopher decided to make the films darker, with The Dark Knight being one of the Darkest in the series. With this came more publictiy for all the wrong reasons as sadly Heath Ledger (The Joker) died not long after the film was released. The film earned the Dark Knight an Oscar with Heath receiving  Best Actor.




The Batman films were a great success although the final film also hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons with a screening ending in death as a gunman opened fire on a packed cinema but this        hasn't stopped the  popularity surrounding the films.

David Bowie, I was never able to spot him!!!!

One of my favourite films that Christopher has ever directed is The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Scarlet Johansson and a mini appearance by Mr David Bowie (Glam Rock Legend!) the film is two magicians that have the greatest of rivalries to out do each other. This leads to one performing the ultimate illusion.  
This film made me really look at Christopher's writing and directing in a different light as the film was amazing!!!!
It wasn't until 2010 that Christopher decided to completely blew our minds with Inception a film that I have watch several times and still do not get the ending! Honestly... I have no idea whether Leonardo Di Caprio is in a dream or reality at the end.
Inception was a film that blew everyone's mind and even got a mention in a song (J-Lo's On The Floor Pitbull mentions it at the start in his little rap) but this clever film and concept had everybody wondering whether or not they actually got it. Like Momento it takes it's time to get your head around. But I loved the film. I actually want to watch it tonight or The Prestige actually!!!


It is great to see a British born director doing so well and writing as well as directing amazing and thought provoking films that entertain and make you think without using extreme violence and gangster culture to sell films like Guy Ritchie or even making Ewan McGregor coming out of a toilet covered in Poo like Danny Boyle. Whatever Christopher's Nolan is doing it is working and it is amazing to see such talent come out of this little island that I call home as well.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

update :)

Decided i'm going to do a write up on a amazing British Director by the name of Christopher Nolan as i've just watched Batman The Dark Knight and now The Dark Knight Rises.

Scriptwriting - A New Adventure

yes i'm finally trying my hand at writing a 30 minute script as part of my university course.
This actually sounds really boring but I actually wanted to share my idea © so here goes:

A Deadly Sin

Meet Jane a doctor by day but a serial killer by night.
Jane is a 30 something doctor with strong religious beliefs who has a pathological need to relieve the suffering from their pain in God's name. She seeks out her victims and kills them painlessly and effectively before dumping their bodies around the city.
One day whilst working a child comes into the trauma unit with acute burns and is most likely going to die from their injuries , Jane feels the urge inside herself and battles with herself whether to kill or save the child.

And that is what I have got
so far ... I have 10 weeks to work on it ... but it's the initial foundation to the narrative :)

Anyway night all :)

The Matrix -Should it Be In 3D?

Channel 5 pulled a winner of a film this weekend by showing The Matrix(1999).


If you haven't seen The Matrix where have you been.

A thought occurred to me whilst I was watching it, The Graphics and CGI were so good, is it about time that the film be shown in 3D or available to buy in 3D.

The argument for this in my view is simple.....  DO IT!!!!


There are many scenes in that film or even as a whole collective that will work well in 3D.
The Nature of the film is futuristic so isn't it about time that The Matrix was upgraded into 3D?


After seeing Dredd in 3D and I have to say that was the best use of 3D i have seen in a long time, as 3D films have been churned out as a commercial pony with most companies jumping on the bandwagon just to make some money but not thinking about quality.


When I was thinking about Dredd and 3D in particular I came to the Conclusion what other films that were made earlier on in the noughties/late nineties (2000-2010) that would transfer to 3D and The Matrix was first on my list, just because of it's amazing attention to detail and narrative that keeps you thinking long after watching the film.


Anyway .... If you haven't seen The Matrix (which is just silly) or have forgotten the story ... then heres a little recap or introduction:

Thomas A.Anderson(Keanu Reeves)  is a computer programmer by day, but at night becomes the computer hacker  known only as Neo.  Neo has questioned his reality and where his place is in it.
The truth as he discovers is far beyond his wildest imagination.

Anyway the film is about the question of Reality, is what we see, feel and do real?

In the film they explain this through the use of computer programming which in simple terms is that this world is infact a simulation and not reality.

Really you could call yourself a Sim (EA Computer Game) being controlled by a machine that uses humans as Batteries.

I'm not going to give to much away... as it is just a mind blowing film.

Part of a trilogy of 3 it is the best as 2 and 3 get a little boring .... but still well worth a watch!

As someone who has seen films in 3D that have poorly been made ... i still remember the blue and red glasses ... eww shuddering at the thought maybe it is about time that The Matrix is brought back to our cinema screens in 3D or IMAX!

The French Revolution Comes To The Big Screen

Set in 19th Century France, Les Miserables is going to be a big movie hit.

Les Mis is the hottest film to be released this year with it's highly anticipated release into UK Cinemas on the 11th January (this coming Friday) it's no wonder that it is one of the hottest movie ticket in town.

Unlike any musical you have seen before Les Mis will surely make you cry with a narrative so complex and overwhelming and heart wrenching as well as being set in the dramatic backdrop of the French Revolution.

I would recommend taking tissues with you to the cinema as you'll be crying your heart out.

The film stars some of the biggest names in the film world with Russell Crow, Huge Jackman, Anne Hatherway and Amanda Seyfried it's no wonder that the Tom Hooper Film has been nominated for 4 Golden Globes along with being nominated for 9 BAFTAS!!!!

The Oscars are still to be announced!


So what can you expect from Les Mis???

Well I would say beautiful cinematography (from what i've seen from the trailers... is on my I need to Watch this list!), amazing music score and brilliant acting throughout.

Anne Hatherway suffered the most for her art as in the famous scene her character has all her hair cut off and before you say it is fake, Anne is sporting a beautiful short hairstyle as he lovely long brown locks were chopped off for this particular scene.
There are also reports that Russell Crow's singing isn't the best although i'm sure he'll make up for it in his acting!!

So if you're doing nothing this friday go to your local cinema and get your popcorn and tissues at the ready and sing your hearts out to this classic.

happy 2013

ok so a new year singles a new batch of films coming to our screens yes so buckle up because 2013 has sone treats in store.
