Christopher Nolan’s Tenet finally made it to Indian screens. The long-awaited film previously released in other markets, including its domestic North American market, and we were unable to see it as theaters in our country were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Tenet involves a concept called inversion, which both Nolan and the actors have said in interviews is not time travel. In fact, it is a kind of communication with the future.
John David Washington’s main character called simply The Protagonist is tasked with saving the world from World War III, and it’s not Armageddon the world faces, promotions say, but something worse.
Before you see this action thriller, here is a rating of all Nolan’s films.
10. Following
Christopher Nolan’s first feature film in 1998 was a British film called The Following, made on a budget of $ 6,000. Aside from production values, it was a great exploration of a complex character and had dominating themes of time and identity.
9. The Dark Knight Rises
The 2012 conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises brought the scariest villain Bane (Tom Hardy) before a rusty Batman. The movie explored what happens when you break Batman, metaphorically and physically. The Dark Knight Rises, for all its flaws, was a pretty satisfying conclusion to a great trilogy.
8. Insomnia
Insomnia was Nolan’s 2002 remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. With some great performances from actors like Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank, the movie was a gripping black drama.

7. I remember
Inspired by Aamir Khan’s Ghajini (who was a pale, watered-down knockoff), Memento was a huge achievement for the then 30-year-old filmmaker still trying to make a name for himself in the film industry. It was this movie that established Christopher Nolan. With Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss in the lead roles, the film was widely praised for its themes of memory and self-deception.
6. Dunkirk
A war movie made by Nolan and it didn’t delve into the usual war movie tropes like excessive violence, non-stop machine gun fire, and character depth. Instead, he chose the Dunkirk evacuation itself as his main protagonist, and the characters were simply minor players who made up one great whole. The movie also had some of the best cinematography of any war movie. Dunkirk is a high-quality war movie.

5. Batman begins
The movie that easily started the greatest superhero trilogy, Batman Begins, focused on the theme of fear. With Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne struggling to overcome his childhood fear of bats and Cilian Murphy’s Scarecrow using drugs to invoke the deepest fears of people who weren’t interested in his plans, Batman Begins was all about acknowledging your demons. internal and then overcome. It also marked the big comeback of the Caped Crusader whose previous appearances on the big screen had been disastrous.
4. Home
Inception was an incredibly complex movie with its leaps in time, unreliable lead, and, well, dreams. Not just dreams, share dreams. The idea of stealing other people’s ideas from their minds and also planting foreign ideas in their minds and translating them into film was a great feat. The high-concept ideas complimented well with Hanz Zimmer’s beautiful score.
3. interstellar
Interstellar was the first time Nolan went to outer space. With his strong mastery of the narrative and visual aspects of the film, Nolan was able to create a film that took place in the confines of our solar system and even parallel worlds, but essentially, focused on the genuinely felt relationship between a father and daughter. .
2. The prestige
With actors like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman playing rival magicians in the film, The Prestige was an exciting journey. Nolan’s obsession with twists at the end of his movies may have started with this movie.
1. The Dark Knight
The uncrowned queen of all superhero movies, The Dark Knight came out in 2008 and has yet to be improved. The only thing about this was that even though it was a superhero movie, it didn’t have large-scale battles. His antagonist was a great mind (no matter how sick and twisted he was), and not a great fighter. The Joker played by the late actor Heath Ledger was, as he put it, an agent of chaos. Pure and simple. The Joker was an impossible man to understand. Did he want Batman to kill him? Why? Because he wanted Batman to break his rule: that he wouldn’t kill anyone. “Insanity, as you know, is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.”
