I saw The Dark Knight on opening night in full IMAX. When the trailers stopped and the screen suddenly pops open with that wide shot of the city on that HUGE screen... man, the spectacle of that movie was amazing on the big screen. People literally gasped in the theater at JUST that opening cut. The huge sound system playing a "little" cue there didn't hurt either, lol.
Man your lucky. I was to young to see it on imax and in theaters so the beat I have seen is it in 4K
Seeing those IMAX scenes in 4k on a 65‘‘ OLED screen almost does the trick ngl. Still, I hope being able to catch his filmography in IMAX theatres one day.
@@kalmanta1824 I saw it in IMAX 2 years ago in the cinema because of the pandemic as no new movies were being released and they were replaying classics. It was great I didn't really notice the IMAX but it probably still made a difference
A Nolan Bond film would be EPIC.
Absolutely. He will definitely do one as he loves the character, but I think they will bring him on when the new Bond comes in, in order to boost the film. Right now Craig himself is a star and the series is doing quite well.
Nolan directing with Fassbender as Bond. Someone mentioned this in another comment thread and the more I thought about it the more of a good idea it seems.
Well, he's definitely not doing it. Danny Boyle is the one who is probably going to make the new Bond. But I would love for Nolan to do it. Not only because he's an incredible filmmaker, but also because Bonds films is what inspired him to be a filmmaker, and he referenced those movies in his own work multiple times. He'd definitely do something unique.
Scored by Hans Zimmer
It'd be a wonderful introduction to even Bond newbies like me, like Batman was!
In a time where people think everything that can be done in film has been done, Nolan is still championing that we have not even scratched the surface of what is possible.
Right?! Homie is shooting his films in damn 18k, theres levels to this and he is at the top
Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk sucked me into its world and I will never forget it
Rohit Fedujwar why? Because he got really immersed into the film he needs to get a life? Not sure where the logic of that is.
Agreed OP, this was a damn good movie. So tense throughout the whole time
@@tamie341 imagine how tenet will be
@@clkgtr12 Yes can't wait!
@@clkgtr12 I still don't know that why did he create this movie? what's the point of it?
Man he hit the head on the nail about how our interest in movies evolves from kid to adult. I defiantly didn't get into smaller and older films until I got out of high school.
IlikeEmerica96 you mean nail on the head 😂😂😂
Nihad O.o guess I screwed the pooch on that one.
IlikeEmerica96 we've all been there❤️🤣
Defiantly definitely
Definitely*
1:48 loved this explanation of film.
His British accent made it seem like he thinks he's smarter than me. Then I listed to what he was actually saying - he **is** smarter than me.
Intelligence is a subject with many variants. We all have our own forms of higher intelligence in different subjects. You're smart, I know you are.
Christopher Nolan is a genius no matter how you measure it. He will be remembered as one of the greats. Jonathan Nolan coming along nicely as well
The British don''t have an accent, its the Americans who have one.
The Manhunter well that’s really nice. Why can’t more people say they things like this
Nope, not necessarily. He's just incredibly talented and was fortunate enough to have discovered that talent at a young age. You have a sense of humor, and the fact that you're listening and tracking with him shows you have intelligence too.
This man is a genius.
Nolan personifies the expression ‘Walk softly but carry a big stick’. His big stick is his encyclopaedic knowledge of movies
13:13 when Nolan use his humor, although his humor isn’t the biggest thing about him, when he’s like you looking at me strangely. That’s another thing I love him, he born with such talent as an filmmaker and person
Genius film, INCREDIBLE movie theater experience.
Red just like most films. Films aren't reality and you weren't there
Hero worship, meh!
I could listen to Chris Nolan talk about films all day
i love the way he acknowledged his 'bwoom' "contribution" to film lol. 24:50
Chris sorta takes a while to get comfortable but when that happens (in mainly the second half), this interview just lights up
22:46 bond joke 😂
Nolan does look like Bond lol
"The concept in some ways has outlived the specifics of the history"
A dunkirk veteran who recently saw this movie said pretty much the same thing.
Fucking All the props in the world to Nolan!
Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors. Taking on Dunkirk must have been difficult. He could have made it look like Saving Private Ryan or countless other war films. Instead he gives it a certain unique spin in Imax no less. Take a 70mm reel, place it on it's side, play that film with more resolution capability. Nolan used Panavision 6505 film for the dialogue sequences. This was used for Lawrence Of Arabia and Tarantino's Hatefull Eight. Analogue colour, high res. I have not seen it yet but when I see veterans that were at Dunkirk in their early twentys saying it was very realistic, that's all I need to know.
This man is unstoppable.
Saw Dunkirk in the same Lincoln Theatre IMAX that the host mentions here, the only IMAX screen in NY also using a 70mm projector. Incredible experience.
He's more intelligent than me and my clone put together.
Nah, just find your passion and you'll be amazed at the universe of intelligence you find opening up inside yourself
@Farid that was really wholesome.
@@NovelWonder Thanks. I also make shakes.
Your intelligence + your clone's intelligence = your intelligence or your clone's intelligence. You can't combine your and your clone's intelligence since both of you will have the exact same thought process.
13:23 the interviewer is crying after the fascinating Nolan explanation.
Really appreciate you guys re-uploading this! Sounds much better. Thanks for the great interview!
Fantastic to see Chris so open here, a fantastic filmmaker indeed.
Favorite director. Every little detail of his movies are so well thought out
Thanks for the great interview! Chris is an amazing person and a director of course!
This interview is actually very good. Nolan answered every question with wit and a bit of British humor, which is so pleasant to watch. Just finish this video and you will understand why this man has the power, as the interviewer said, to make whatever he wants. Listening to his talking about film is such a delight. I can do it all day.
I hope I can get to see the Imax/70mm version of this again someday. It was incredible..
As a filmmaker, I'm happy that I do my shooting on film. Sure, it's 16mm and not 65mm horizontal, but it still looks beautiful
It's good to learn some basics in film, but I don't think film holds a monopoly on excellence.
Tony Dupre I think 16mm is a great way to start. Some rather big productions are shot on it. The TV Series Walking Dead is shot on 16mm film, for example!
Tony Dupre wow man that's great do you live near any film lab?
I’m a big fan of 16, so keep championing that! Not enough big-budget films are lensed on that format, and I think they should be!
@@danielgunz2364 yup there's one here in Massachusetts
I'm so going to buy Interstellar in 4K HDR!!!
How much it will cost
He radiates intelligence
I really want Chris Nolan to do a Bond film. As a fan of the classic 70s films and with his enormous talent for reboots (ie. Batman), I reckon he'll make them more fun and enjoyable again.
Tenet
Great interview, a fascinating watch, no pun intended
Excellent interview.
Last question was great, never stopped to think about it, and it made the movie great!
He looks exhausted.
Months of press. He's bored. Boredom = tired.
He deserves to be exhausted. He just made a film that is better then the other films.
Yeah, but then again he's made about $83 million from it so far.
because the more money you own, the less tired you are!
Exhausted from hoarding millions of dollars?
saw it twice !!! once in IMAX and another time in a NON IMAX format....IMAX definitely was more realistic and offered a unique viewing experience.... I wouldn't rate the movie as a war epic....but definitely very good.....and the cinematography was breathtaking !!!!! sound was too good... !!!! Overall a good movie but not a masterpiece !!!!! Nolan seems to be a very honest and humble man for his stature and he seems to be someone where in overwhelming success has not clouded his head !!!!! Good Going !!!!!
This is an interview of a genius.
27:31 He watches Spider-Man and Independence Day. He's a genius, but he's still just a big kid. Just like Lucas and Spielberg in the previous generation. That's why he's our generation's king of blockbusters.
Damn, I guess this is his historical epic. I wanted him to do a sword and sandal! Ancient Greece by Nolan? YES
Oh you fixed the sound! Nice one
0:35 holy crap people... you have the best director of the decade in front of you... put your fucking phone away...
this dude just needs to direct a bond movie and my life will be complete
Nolan & Tarantino
Best in the game
Mr Perfectionist Scorsese???
What about my man Denis Villeneuve?

@@rubberducky4074
He didn't wrote his films
27:22 he mentions sam raimi in a great way YESSSSS finally im not the only one who thinks he a great director in what he's done!
This is the first video I have seen Nolan smile and laugh
The host is like a Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez child with Brendan Fraser’s voice..
18K !!
jesus look at all of those people with their phones out. No venue is sacred anymore.
Joey Joson maybe they're taking notes 😋
I have one personal rule on event like live shows, Q&A etc. : I take only one picture and turn off my phone.
Worst part is he doesn't like mobile phones anyway. So its basically like an enormous room of people disrespecting him.
I had a chick tell me I was "boring" for basically not being on my phone all the time and not living my life through it. It's getting crazy these days...
Max Jones he actually doesn’t like phones on his film set. I don’t recall hearing that he dislikes them overall, I’m sure he sees how they can function in everyday life, but there is a downside to cellphones where people are on them a lot anymore, and they’re very addicting so if he does dislike cellphones in general, I don’t totally blame him.
I think his reference to the first Spider-Man was about the boat that comes to save the tram full of kids at the end.
The host was also excellent.
Great answers by Nolan, but the interviewer could have been better
I had never heard of Dunkirk. Is crazy to think if the British extraordinary force had been lost perhaps the world would of been lost
"Seeds of the idea..." that's another movie of his.
guess they fixed audio?
zeroinone inzero
Kind of. After about 4 minutes in there's a lot of feedback in the backround.
Imax Audio
Who cares? Oh, proper film fans. Ooh.
Oh boy.. Confirmed! Nolan WILL direct a Bond film.
are you serious? if true it will automatically be good.
Nah, he just said here that he'd love to repay the franchaise for all the entertainment its given him...
STILL i'd kill for him to do 3, and do a sort of 3 film story arc.. That would be killer!
If you would like to see them hire Nolan to do a Bond trilogy, you got to wait until Craig is gone. That might already be after the next film though.
FabledSomething:
To be perfectly honest i'm not even sure i want Craig to be in the next film...
Whilst maybe this isn't the most popular idea for some Bond fans, but I want another reboot (so that will be 2 reboots for the franchaise in just over 20 years), but setting the stories in a period appropriate for the novels. I really want them to bring back the rivalry and tension that the KGB in the Connery and to an extent Moore films brought.
My top pick for Bond would be Jack O'Connell. I'm not sure of other actor that i would really enjoy in the part..
BUT to be fair, they haven't made a bad choice for Bond yet, so i think they're in safe hands.
I hope so, Nolan brought back Batman, and James bond seems to be losing it's taste, maybe Nolan can bring it back up, and make it cool again.
it seem, i am a soilder in the movie while waching. 😁
So quuuuiiieeeet
Is that the same story about the Normandy disembark ?
The interviewer wasn't prepared nor excited to speak with a living legend, SMH.
What did he mean by this is where it comes from when mentioning sam raimi and independence day?
Fuckin Sam Raimi's Spider-Man gets a shout out from Christopher Nolan. Nice.
hes a big fan of that movie actually. he lifted some philosophy from it for the Dark Knight
26:50 .. That was hilarious!😂
wages of fear
He made action films , dramas and war films when will he direct an horror movie he can easiy make the next shining
my gosh I fuckin love this guy
13:28 incredible
Did anyone ask, 'Mr. Nolan, why did you virtually ignore the roles of the Royal & Merchant Navies, and why did you completely misunderstand the part the 'Little Ships' actually played in the evacuation?'
Can anyone tell me what director Nolan names at 21:28? I hear Bresson but what's the second name he says?
John Morgan Clouzot
Clouzot
Carlos Mencia is much better at interviewing people.
Dont do Bond, you could do so much more!
but it's not fair!!
Id like to see him do something along the lines of the shinning! That kind of atmosphere would be amazing from him
Waste In Ruins won't be better than Kubrick's
ILL Sean he’s not saying Nolan should do another adaptation of The Shining, but something with the atmosphere that The Shining has.
Tenet
Was the Stukka real too?!
The interviewer askes question like confessing something bad he did.. 😅
"When you were a kid did you watch a lot of movies?"
27:01 lol
Nolan is first bencher in film making and confuses last benchers 😂 😂
Truly a shame this host didn't seem to have much interest or previous knowledge of Nolan's work. He asked the questions one would expect of press junkets.
What theater are they in
Film Society of Lincoln Center, New York.
Wasn't aware they had an IMAX.
Fuck knows bro I'm in London. But do go and see it at the IMAX, immense experience. Might be the loudest film I've heard.
18:00 woah! in one of his earlier interviews on Memento, he admits he hadn't thought about using a diagrammatic representations in screenwriting. so that interview probably gave him the idea.

Can someone who understands cameras explain to me what he was talking about in his 'Defense of Celluloid cameras.'
I know he was talking about film cameras, and not digital ones, but I didn't understand his preference.
The film was never digitized. The prints were timed and printed optically (instead of digitally). The image is not subject to banding or any kind of color depth (8 bit, 10 bit, 16 bit). The resolution is much higher -- it's analog. It's more natural, as Chris says -- like the way we see the world around us.
Celluloid film, especially at the sizes that Nolan used for this film, is like using the equivalent of a vast digital sensor. It's able to capture detail that only a, let's say, 300 Mpixel sensor could. It also has an analogue dynamic range and colour-range, there's no step in quality (Banding) that you see when, eventually, a zero bit must become a 1.
When you do a direct optical copy you inherit these qualities directly. If you do a digital copy then you introduce "bits" and "pixels". A "bit" introduces "banding" because there can never be a smooth (analogue) transition from one value to another. Pixels introduce limitations in dynamic range, colour range, "grain"..etc.
Your eyes see the world in Analogue, with smooth transitions between colours, brightness and so on. That's why celluloid looks so nice....it's "real".
Oh okay, now I understand. Thank you!
To add to these replies, the quality of 70mm IMAX film is another thing that so different about it. We've all seen 720 and 1080 resolutions. And 4k is twice the resolution of 1080. If 70mm film was turned into a digital format, it would be somewhere between 16k and 20k resolution. The quality of it is something you simply cant even imagine until you've seen it for yourself
Same with 35mm film frame in photography and large format camera frame. Large format has even bigger resolution than IMAX.
Decrease the noise if possible, its irritating
get rid of Hack Snyder and just let your boy Chris do the the DCEU
This video free

Ye baat hai Bhai .
27:00
"something most Americans haven't heard of", is that true?
1:13
3:06
Am I just drunk or is Chris Nolan and Jim Carrey starting to look like twins?
27:32 did he just say rami’s Spider-Man has a Dunkirk moment? Wtf
After watching this I have cm to a very weird thought of how a Nolan comedy drama movie would look like.
Man i'm tellin ya This guy has some great sense of humour
Hit like if u agree 👍👍
Why are there empty seats? 😅
He looks like Nina Dobrev and Justin Bieber
Put your damn phone away.
gives an enormous historical context????? the entire point as chris has said is that it gives zero historical context and puts u right in the moment...
Phone junkies
24:02 Well that aired poorly.
4:09 - Wait... did he say 8 or 18?
18k. Yes. The resolution is INSANE.....
35mm is (an equivalent to) 6k
5 perf (non IMAX) 65mm is (an equivalent to) 12k
And 15 perf 70mm (IMAX) is 18k
My questions to Nolan: how can you have a big budget and let some aerial view of a city clearly showing 1970s and 1980s buildings? How come at no point we have a sense of crowded beaches where 300000 soldiers were supposed to be waiting for evacuation? How come French soldiers are only depicted as fleeing cowards, when in reality the evacuation has taken place thanks to them holding the line? His your film a representation of Brexit?
"To have the look of us around, film is the best way to do it" (similar) Dumbest quote in a while. If you want something to look "real" and the way it looks like in the real world, go with ugly looking digital dv crap. Every telenovela looks like real life, that's why it looks bad. Film looks good because it doesn't look natural, but like film and stylised.
YOUR AUDIO IS TERRIBLE. WHAT IS WITH THE STATIC.
