Nolan was educated at Haileybury College, an independent school near Hertford in Hertfordshire, England, and later studied English literature at University College London while filming several short films in the college film society. His short film Tarantella was shown on Image Union, an independent film and video showcase featured on PBS, in 1989.

Themes

Nolan's work is often based around an emotional or conceptual theme. Memento is about guilt (Leonard's failure to save his wife and inability to remember what he has done about it since), the nature of personal identity, and the human reliance on memory. Insomnia is about guilt (Dormer accidentally kills a friend) and the human reliance on sleep. Batman Begins is about guilt (Bruce Wayne's belief that he was responsible for the deaths of his parents) and the nature of fear. In The Prestige, Nolan focuses on guilt (Angier's anger over what happened to his wife) and the idea of obsession (the rivalry of the two magicians). Memento redirects here. ... // Computer programming In object-oriented programming, object identity is a mechanism for distinguishing different objects from each other. ... In psychology, memory is an organisms ability to store, retain, and subsequently recall information. ... This article is about the American remake. ... Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in most mammals, birds, fish, as well as invertebrates such as the fruitfly Drosophila. ... Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Batman. ... Fear is a powerful, unpleasant feeling of risk or danger, either real or imagined. ... The Prestige is a 2006 period film directed by Christopher Nolan, adapted from Christopher Priests award-winning 1995 novel of the same name. ...

The way extreme states of the mind can distort perception of reality and ability to function also seem to appear constantly in his work. In Memento, it was a memory disorder making the leading character lose his skill to retain knowledge. In Insomnia, lack of sleep induces the protagonist to lose concentration and energy. In Batman Begins, intense - and sometimes induced - fear constantly makes characters perceive people and things as more dangerous than they really are. In The Prestige, obsessive behavior turns two friends into rivals and sends them in a downward spiral.

Another is that of a protagonist as a vigilante hero. In Memento, Leonard takes it upon himself to avenge the apparent murderer of his dead wife. Insomnia's Detective Dormer plants evidence to incriminate criminals who escape 'the system'. He secretly works behind the backs of the authorities to reach his own sense of justice. In Batman Begins, billionaire Bruce Wayne takes to the streets as an avenging superhero, preying on the criminals that go unpunished by the police. In The Prestige, a magician attempts to sabotage the career and life of a rival who he blames for the tragic death of his lover. Invariably, the vigilant protagonist accomplishes his ends, but makes great sacrifice of either his own life, morality, or chance for happiness. For the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, see Super Hero (Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode). ...

He is also known for using non-linear storytelling. This was most notable in his films Following, Memento and The Prestige where scenes are shown out of sequence, often causing the viewer to question what is really happening in the story. His films Insomnia and Batman Begins have a more linear storytelling format, but still heavily incorporate flashbacks into the plot.

Nolan also seems to be a fan of the British rock band Radiohead, as in Memento he tried using "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead for the closing credits. This couldn't be done due to the budget of the movie itself. However, in The Prestige, the end credits include the song "Analyse", a song from The Eraser, the solo album by Radiohead's frontman Thom Yorke. Radiohead are an English rock band from Oxfordshire, initially formed in the mid-1980s under the name On a Friday. ...

Professional career

Following

Main article: Following

Nolan directed his first feature film, Following, in 1996. The film depicts the story of a writer who becomes obsessed with following random people. Scenes are shown out of chronological order, and as such the viewer becomes disoriented, having to piece together the elements of the story in the same way as the protagonist pieces together what is going on around him. Following is a film directed by Christopher Nolan in 1998 about a young man who follows people he sees on the streets. ... Following is a 1998 crime film directed by Christopher Nolan about a young man who follows people he sees on the streets. ... This is a list of film-related events in 1996. ...

Nolan made the film for just $6,000. He shot it on weekends over the course of a year, working with friends he had met at the University College London film society. It began to receive notice after premiering at the San Francisco Film Festival of 1998, and was eventually distributed on a limited basis by Zeitgeist in 1999.

As a result of the film's success, Newmarket optioned the script for his next film, 'Memento'.

Memento

While not a gargantuan hit but still a box office success, Memento (2000) is a critically acclaimed cult classic and was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award (Oscar) for best screenplay.

The movie, based on a short story written by Christopher's brother Jonathan Nolan titled Memento Mori, follows widower Leonard Shelby (played by English-born Australian actor Guy Pearce) who, as a result of a head injury delivered by his wife's rapist and murderer, is unable to form new memories. What distinguishes the film within its genre is Nolan's technique in presenting events within the storyline partially in reverse-chronological order and in chronological order. Using this technique, Nolan forces viewers to relate with the mentally-impaired protagonist, since they encounter each event disoriented. This article is in need of attention. ...

The same method of disorientating audiences is used in Nolan's previous film Following, which is very much a precursor to the production of Memento. Following, however, presents a three-act structure in which the three acts are cut together, whereas Memento presents two linear timelines—one running forwards, one backwards—which are cut together and meet in the middle. The changeover from forwards to backwards is signified by the transition from black and white film stock to color. Following is a 1998 crime film directed by Christopher Nolan about a young man who follows people he sees on the streets. ...

As of February 2007, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) ranks Memento at number twenty-six in its list of the top 250 films of all time.

Insomnia

Main article: Insomnia (2002 film)

In 2002 Nolan directed Insomnia, an American remake of a 1997 Norwegian film of the same name (although with major changes in both the plot and the nature of the main character). The plot involves two detectives brought to Alaska to assist local authorities locate a killer. However, the search occurs during the "sunny" season in Alaska, and the film's protagonist, Al Pacino, is unable to sleep because of the constant light.

Prior to the announcement by Martin Scorsese that he was planning to make The Aviator, Nolan had begun scripting his own biopic of Howard Hughes, to star Jim Carrey. Nolan, in an interview with Empire dated July 2005, stated, "I guess I just didn't write quickly enough." The project was ultimately abandoned, and has no direct connection to Scorsese's project.

Six years later, Nolan, together with Blade screenwriter David S. Goyer, pitched the idea of restarting the franchise with a serious origin story. Warner Bros. took the risk of hiring the relatively unknown director to direct the new installment of one of their biggest franchises.

Batman Begins was released on June 15, 2005 and has become a solid box office hit, ranking as the third biggest blockbuster of the summer. It received a very positive critical and public reception, with many ranking it as superior to even the 1989 version.
