Director of various famous movies including Inception, The dark knight and the prestige.
The prestige is one fantastic movie!
It depicts the rivalry and friendship between two conjurer. Christopher Nolan wisely ended the movie with a big bang, leaving the audience bedazzled , just like Inception. Though i would say inception gives us a bigger impact, as it narrates an idea that has always puzzled people- of dreams that are so vague and abstract. The prestige on the other hand tells the audience of how far men are willing to sacrifice for success, fame and victory.
Follow up by the movie i did some googl-ing and was amazed by Christopher Nolan's background and achievements.
Christopher Nolan began making films at the age of seven using his father's super 8mm camera and an assortment of male-action figures. He graduated to making films involving real people, and his super 8mm surreal short 'tarantella' was shown on PBS' 'image union' in 1989. Chris studied English Literature at University College London while starting to make 16mm films at the college film society. His short film 'larceny' was shown at the Cambridge Film Festival in 1996, and his other 16mm shorts include a three- minute surreal film called 'doodlebug'.- IMBD'
Amazing. Watch till the end, folks. Keep your eyes open. =)
...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.- Christopher Nolan.
