Christopher Nolan began making films at the age of seven using his father’s super 8mm camera and an assortment of male-action figures..
Usually starts films with a flashback or a scene from the end of the movie…
Frequently uses hard cuts when transitioning to the next scenes. This is most prominent in his films from ‘Batman Begins’ onward, especially in ‘The Dark Knight’, where, in some instances, the hard cuts he uses will go so far as to nearly cut off character’s lines in order to quickly and efficiently get to the next scene…..
PERSONAL QUOTES
“The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it.” – commenting on working with actors who have distinctively different styles.
…I studied English Literature. I wasn’t a very good student, but one thing I did get from it, while I was making films at the same time with the college film society, was that I started thinking about the narrative freedoms that authors had enjoyed for centuries and it seemed to me that filmmakers should enjoy those freedoms as well.
As soon as television became the only secondary way in which films were watched, films had to adhere to a pretty linear system, whereby you can drift off for ten minutes and go and answer the phone and not really lose your place.
