What do we do with Superman?

After watching Sucker Punch, my imagination got fkd. I asume Nolan saw the same things as I cause my hopes for a good Superman movie got re-lit with what SP brought on the table. Wonderful greenscreen work and solid cgi, that trenchwar sequence took my breath away. My eyes and ears has never been en...

My mind will never fully get used to when the sun goes below the horizon for 2 long months during winter.. but its worth trading it for the 2 months in summ...

Man’s Desire Exceeds His Grasp –The Prestige as Utopia

The Borden's sacrificed their "better" halfs to achieve their goals.

Fatherhood as a recurring theme

My 2 cents.. The Prestige became ultimately for the Borden's about fatherhood. "This aint a bloody competition anymore, its about this little girl's life" "That girls without a father and you're letting him hang" Batman Begins was a very clear fatherhood related movie, but Bruce wont ultimately beco...

Best scene ever.

Shawshank Redemption hands down. It's emotional scenes overall and ending was the best ending ever. So far.

Re: Nolan's Trademarks

It is the major focus of my book on Nolan that is near completion. Whoa! You're writing a book on Christopher Nolan? Amazing! Best of luck! I would have waited 20 more years before writing one. Nolan is still evolving as a filmmaker and already he is getting a book written about himself? Kinda fanb...

non-linear structure

TDK used one flashback tho. But only one =)
I hope Nolan's next standalone movie doesn't carry on with the dead wife/sacrifice/obsession themes.

Huh...Nolan made a movie about religion...

I’m sure Nolan himself has an answer, but would that really be definite to the likes of us that like to think "deeper"? To me he has managed to make a truly open movie that’s even more open to interpretation. I’m open to Inception’s straightforwardness that’s served the global audience. But I person...
