Join the wide Ease of use genre cinema with cut author’s recognition is a task as difficult as it is rewarding. Whoever succeeds in this enterprise is privileged to achieve public extremely wide and varied: like all public more, in search of entertainment on the big screen, as in niche enthusiasts who seek to find depth in films that will allow them to go beyond the first viewing with satisfaction. Among those who did best to reconcile we definitely find these two characteristics in the 2000s Christopher NolanBritish director born in 1970, who eventually won success an extraordinary as well as an enviable set of box office results. His cinema is made up of films difficult and rich turnscapable of attracting attention viewer up to loans.

MEMORY (2000)
“I can not forget you”
The film that led the director to international fame and present the classics storytelling “Alla Nolan”, with jumps in time, turns and narration difficult events that are clear only on end movie. Story I remember this is Leonard Shelbysuffering from severe amnesia that prevents him from memorizing new information. To solve this problem, Shelby constantly considers events on post-it and fills the body tattoos which remind him of the events he has experienced. All this is connected with a traumatic event that upset the life of the protagonist, i.e. murderer wives. This is a movie about vendetta, but with a new element: amnesia. In favor identificationscenes are edited in order not in chronological order, forcing the viewer to put the pieces together like Shelby does. A movie that’s really about recycling mourningbelonging guilt and from vendetta.
PRESTIGE (2006)
“Now you are looking for a secret, but you will not find it, because in fact you are not looking very much. You don’t want to know. You want to be deceived”
Taken from novel Christopher Priest and installed in London late nineteenth century Prestige talks about the illusionist Alfred Borden, accused of murder against the illusionist rival: Robert Angier. The film tells their story, which began with working together in one magic showtalking about drama accident which compromised their relationship and turned it into Tough competition become best magician cities. The competition between the two magicians soon turns into an obsessive hunt for the best trick. A goal that will require the gods unimaginable sacrifices, all in the name of their art. Near the end, Nolan gives the viewer an episode turnswhich lead to the final unexpected, but perfectly in line with the narrative offered up to this point. Prestige it’s not just a movie about illusionism, it’s a movie about valueartabout the role of the artist (represented by the two protagonists), about the contradictions of the human being and about the mass victim which requires striving for excellence and success. With brilliant interpretations of Christian baleHugh Jackmanscarlet Johansson AND David Bowie, Prestige constitutes, perhaps, vertexNolan’s filmography so far.
START (2010)
“You are waiting for a train, a train that will take you very far, you know where you hope this train will take you, but you cannot be sure. And it doesn’t matter: we’ll be together”
It’s about the movie more famous among the three proposed, the winner is ben four Academy Awards including the best sound and best photo, Origin it has overwhelmingly established itself in popular culture, even becoming part of a common language. Dominic Cobbmasterfully interpreted Leonardo DiCapriotakes care to extract from the minds of people the most remote thoughts, settling in them dreams imperceptible to them. The real challenge arises when it is proposed not to steal the secret, as usual, but enter thought in a person’s head. The protagonists then begin an adventure driven by this goal that will lead them to meanders more distant than the minds of others and will force Cobb to deal with the darkest ghosts from his past. The film brilliantly recreates me dreams, inserting the absurdities that often accompany the world of dreams. There direction better at covering sequences chained to each other (those that happen in a dream, and those that happen instead in reality), guaranteeing rhythm Very high throughout the entire film. Despite complexity Thanks to the narrative system, the film is broadly understandable and captivating. Mainly remembered for the ambiguity of his the finaland for him to leave deep veil of secrecy about the real outcome of events, Origin reflect on topics such as Love, suicide and weight a injury transferred to the human mind and the role that a good lie can play. How far are you ready lie protect a loved one?
