Hi, everybody and welcome to
another episode of Filmophile!
Today, we are going to talk about 
one of the best Hollywood directors.
A director who perfectly knows movies
and movie language.
Of course, we are talking about
Christopher Nolan.
In 5th place on our list is a movie that
brought the Batman franchise out of the darkness.
A movie that had definitely paved the way for other superhero movies.
Surely, it's
The  Dark Knight (2008)
In this action/thriller story, Nolan succeeded to,
with help from great actors
construct extraordinary characters.
He makes us not suspect a thing,
but slowly drown in his world.
Nolan thinks all his movies through to the smallest details
and than he connects the pieces into one unity
that he uses for his narrative.
He used Batman as the theme, but to tell  us a story about moral, law and justice, anarchy,
social environment
and about fear and sacrifice.
In The Dark Knight, characters are fully defined
Theirs conflicted aims, absolutely deliver the 
philosophy and ideas that Nolan had with this movie.
If you love superhero movies,
you definitely must watch this one.
If you don't love superhero movies...
Anyhow,
watch this one.
The next movie on this list has already been mentioned on our channel.
That's Nolans movie
Memento (2000)
This visualy recognizable movie
from Nolans early career
has incredible structure
and the strong fashion in which Nolan leads us
to the climax of the movie and reveals information.
Genre is again, certainly,
mistery/thriller
because that is the area in which Nolan perfectly leaves the audience to fill the gaps and assume what is going to happen.
While Nolan directs,
he is always thinking about the viewers
and how to direct them and he knows
exactly how much he should reveal.
And this movie is a perfect example
for all of that.
The 3rd ranked movie
is one of Nolans most emotional movies.
And, of course, it is
Interstellar (2014)
This modern Space Odyssey is a sci-fi/drama
that will leave you breathless.
With the music of Hans Zimmer and Nolans directing
this movie plays perfectly.
A story about family, love, space, eternity and time.
Nolans dedication to film art and to details
is perfectly seen in this movie.
Where he spent a lot of time with physicists in order to make the movie as close as possible to a real space mission.
Full of emotions and human drama
this movie has proven that Nolan
doesn't allow genre to shape his idea.
Nolan has his philosophy and he has succeeded to direct the movie in the right direction to make his point.
Cinematography is in harmony
with the characters emotions and with the music.
Long and unforgettable shots 
add to the dramatic context of the movie.
The next movie on our list is on some level
a movie about film.
A homage to film art 
by Christopher Nolan.
I'm talking about
Inception (2010)
''All of that was just a dream'',
Surely is not the sentence you can say 
after watching this movie
which tackles human consciousness 
on such a deep level
and inspects the brains power to create different worlds.
A movie full of action, but also drama and fantasy.
A movie in which Nolan is telling a story about love
from a specific point of view.
A movie about illusions and adoption of those illusions.
Memories and wishes.
Nolan's enjoying while he creates incredible cinematographic feats and visual effects.
He is pulling the rug from under our feet while he makes this dream for the audience.
Inception is most alike to his short film
from the beginning of his career
So it is clear why this movie was so important to him.
Because of its success and wide acceptance, this movie has added meaning to the word ''inception''.
Inception questions reality, or rather IF reality is true,
or maybe reality is also a dream.
And in our 1st place.
Because of its complexity, clear narrative 
and great amout of subtle directing decisions.
And because of, lets say, magic.
A movie called
Prestige (2007)
Definitely a movie which you can watch and analyse many times and learn a lot about how to make a good movie,
what directing is,
and how to connect narrative through fragmented story.
This not so popular Nolans achievement, with a theme of a great illusion,
is before all an incredible story about obsession and rivalry and the danger of both.
Nolan skill of making suspense
with information we don't know
and of knowing how to give us pieces of that information, exactly when we need it and how much we need of it,
shows clearly in this movie.
Meaningful and precise directing
with the right clues and links to the whole story.
And every scene is more than an exposition, it is a clue, a cipher for reading this movie.
If you haven't watched this movie already
than you need to watch it, and than watch it again,
and again...
And than tell us what you think?
A new movie from Nolan is in theaters.
Dunkirk.
If you have watched it,
what do you think in which place would Dunkrik be on this list?
Do you agree or disagree with our list?
