Christopher Nolan, as a filmmaker has been a scientist conducting experiments on his works. Nolan is closely attached to the universe’s vital component “TIME”. Most of Nolan’s films have this time component. After watching all his films, I call that time as “Nolan time”. Nolan time involves cutting among several locations in several timelines of the films. Those lines appear to be out of sync but converge as the climax approaches.

Speaking about his full-length feature films – Memento has reverse timelines consisting of past and future events confusing the audiences, which made Nolan to catch everyone’s attention on his filming style and screenplay depths. The prestige was told over a fragmented timeline. It has stories within stories and flashbacks within flashbacks. Interstellar had a loop timeline with an open string (Cooper and TARS leave to re-join Brand and CASE on Edmunds’ planet). In Inception, he projects levels of dreams (timelines) cut at several parts. These levels of dream converge at the end (the last kick, imitated from the cold region to the aircraft deck).
Dunkirk Plot Explained 2017 – Dunkirk is a similar flick with multiple timelines going parallel to each other but converging at the final hour. Dunkirk is similarly doped with the “Nolan Time” just like the other movies. Dunkirk film is told through three perspectives. Dunkirk’s plot has convoluted timelines which have cuts (scenes) and then projected randomly. For instance, Mr. Dawson spots three Spitfires on his journey to the French beach (Scene 2), however, this scene is shown after the scene where three Spitfires engage in dogfight (Scene 1). Dunkirk has projected future and past timelines randomly. As per the graph shown, every scene is named as an alphabet A to F and U to Z. Nolan has projected these scenes randomly, for instance, Scene B (Pilot Collins (Jack Lowden) opts to ditch in the sea. Farrier (Tom Hardy) adieus best luck.) this is scene is not continued. But Scene X shows the continuation (Mr. Dawson sees a Spitfire ditch in the ocean. Collins is trapped in his Spitfire. Peter (Dawson’s son) breaks open the canopy and pulls Collins aboard.)
