I am no expert in criticizing a film or a director or whatever, that too a man like Chris Nolan. I was first awestruck when I saw The Prestige. The narration, the storyline really drew my attention. Then came The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger really gave his best, perhaps that's the perfect swansong. Then came Memento, Batman Begins, Insomnia and finally Following.
To me, the Christopher Nolan-Christian Bale duo is just a magical one. Giving films like The Prestige, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is not a cup of tea you see? I don't want to waste words behind this genius. I am rather not a person to do so. His works speak for himself. Those of you who haven't seen this great man's works have surely missed something in life. His fluid way of narration in the film Insomnia,telling us about the effects the life of Alaska,or any country having 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness( forgot the geographical term, if there is any) can have on a person from a place like L.A.,ie. not from a place like Alaska, is really superb. He showed he is equally capable of directing a black and white movie in this era( Following) as he is with the coloured ones. He can give us stories of 18th century in The Prestige, and can also give us a superhero in Batman. His unparallel style of narration in Memento made me think for days that "How can this kind of idea come to someone's mind and how can he even raise it to such a level of perfection?!?!"
