Best known for his cerebral, often non-linear story-telling, acclaimed writer-director Christopher Nolan was born on July 30, 1970 in London, England. In 17 years of film-direction, Nolan has gone from low-budget independent films to working on some of the biggest blockbusters ever made.

Nolan began making short movies at the early age of 7 years, using his fathers super-8 camera. Later he attended university to study English Literature at London. There he started shooting shot 16-mm films with U.C.L.’s film society and learned guerrilla techniques, Which he later used in his 1st movie Following (1998) on a very low budget of around 6000$ only (in black and white). And as of Today 7 out of nine movies that He directed are in the IMDB’s top 250 Movies list.
[The Dark Knight (2008), Batman Begins (2005), Memento (2000), The Prestige (2006), Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), and Interstellar(2014).]
He has directed 9 movies till now.
1. Following (1998)
2. Memento (2000)
3. Insomnia (2002)
4. Batman Begins (2005)
5. The Prestige (2006)
6. The Dark Knight (2008)
7. Inception (2010)
8. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
9. Interstellar (2014)

So, I have put together a list of 8 things ( with help of IMDB ) that you have seen in almost every movie of Christopher Nolan but you didn’t notice ( Even, i didn’t till now ).

8. Christopher Nolan Often casts non-American actors in American roles. Such as Michael caine, Guy Pearce, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson. Michael caine has worked with Nolan for 6 consecutive movies. ( what an actor 🙂 )

7. Opening scenes always in his movies are a flashback or a piece of a scene from the middle or end of the movie and his movies almost every time end with a sudden ( yet very effective) smash cut to black. (Interstellar, Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and especially Inception are prime examples.). His movies almost always end with character’s fate open to interpretation ( You remember, right ?? ).

6. Christopher Nolan’s movies often take place with scenes out of chronological order with multiple flashbacks. Such as in Following, Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige and the latest Interstellar.

It is like he flip’s the act of a movie to tell the story in an interesting fashion ( and that require us a lot of thinking ).

5. His films usually revolve around characters that are afflicted with some kind of psychological disorder. (Examples: Guy Pearce’s short-term memory “condition” inMemento (2000), Al Pacino’s titular sleeping disorder in Insomnia (2002), Christian Bale’s phobia of bats in Batman Begins (2005) and Aaron Eckhart’s dual personality in The Dark Knight (2008) and Leonardo DiCaprio not being able to grasp onto reality in Inception (2010)).

4. The storyline in Christopher Nolan’s films usually involves a determined character seeking vengeance over the death of a loved one. (Guy Pearce in Memento (2000), Christian Bale inBatman Begins (2005), Hugh Jackman in The Prestige (2006), Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight (2008), and Marion Cotillard in The Dark Knight Rises (2012))

3. Frequently in his films the protagonists, at some crucial moment, feel let down or betrayed by their mentors whom they have been following blindly and with respect. (e.g. The protagonist being cheated by Cobb inFollowing (1998), Leonard “discovering” that Teddy is the culprit in Memento (2000), Hilary Swank’s character respecting Al Pacino as a great detective in Insomnia (2002) only to find out that he is also flawed, Bruce Wayne andLiam Neeson’s character’s confrontation inBatman Begins (2005), Cutter not supporting Angier in The Prestige (2006), Ariadne feeling betrayed by her mentor Cobb when he doesn’t tell her about Mal’s domain over his dreams inInception (2010), Blake feeling let down by Gordon when his lie about Dent’s death is exposed in The Dark Knight Rises (2012), and Cooper gets angry when come to know about Prof. Brand’s secret in Interstellar (2014). ( that’s how we feel after watching your movie Nolan..cheated. )

2. As He Displays the title before the end credits began (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar).
