Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan has directed many thriller films that have taken off in the Box Office in the Uk and in America. These films include: Batman Begins (2005) starring Christian Bale, Michael Cane and Morgan Freeman. The film had a Budget of around $150,000,000 and Grossed just over $200,000,000  3 months after it's release.

One of his more famous films Memento (2000) was a classic thriller that has gone down as one of the best ever. The film cost 5,000,000 to make (approximately) and in just over a year has grossed over 25,000,000. Memento was such a success as Nolan played with the genre of psychological thrillers while playing around with the memory of the protagonist, who cannot make any new memories.




Nolan is well know for typically ending his films with one os his characters giving a philosophical monologue. Also all of his films are known to give a reference to the film before it. He almost always employs a non-linear narrative which is one that does not go in chronological order and skips between the present time, the past and the future 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.
