People are lucky if they have one good idea in their life.
This may be Nolan’s single theme, but it’s a complex one that might take 1,000 movies to exhaust.
I’m grateful for watching all these explorations.
- mnky9800n 3y agoComplex men suffering is not unique to Nolan (e.g., king Lear). He simply seems to be able to create compelling versions of that theme. But actually I'm wondering what would be different if there was creative boundaries on Nolan and what he would create instead.
- prepend 3y agoIt’s certainly not unique, nor does it need to be, nor has anyone claimed Nolan invented the concept. I share your curiosity and maybe we’ll see one day. But I’m also happy if we just see 30 more movies exploring the same theme. While Nolan isn’t truly unique in history, I think he’s rare and not many are telling stories like he is.
