While “Tenet” by Christopher Nolan is broadcast tonight on TF1, will you be able to find in which feature films by the famous filmmaker we find the following shots?
For you, the best adaptations of Batman to the cinema are obviously the three parts of The Dark Knight trilogy? Do you think Dunkirk, Inception and Interstellar have Prestige? Do you know Insomnia and Memento by heart? In short, are you an unconditional fan of Christopher Nolan’s cinema?
While Tenet, the latest film by the British filmmaker (pending the release of Oppenheimer next year) is broadcast tonight on TF1, the time has come to revise your classics. Can you find (without making the slightest mistake) which Nolan feature films belong to the following 10 shots?
DID YOU KNOW ?
The Dark Knight
Near the beginning of the feature film, shortly after the famous introductory sequence of the bank robbery, observe carefully the photograph of the Joker exposed by Commissioner Gordon. You may need to arm yourself with a magnifying glass to notice it, but at the bottom of the screenshot is a date: July 18, 2008. This is simply the exact release day of the film in the United States. United.
Batman Begins
In the film’s flashback sequences, when Bruce Wayne is still a young child, his fate as a vigilante already seems to be mapped out. Indeed, the patterns that are embroidered on his sweater can make you think of little bats, probably foreshadowing his secret identity.
Inception
Is the character of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) dreaming at the end of the film or not? Will the spinning top that serves as her totem stop spinning once the credits roll? Since the release of the feature film in 2010, this question has continued to haunt fans, prompting them to come up with many theories. What if this final plan was just… an inception? A mental robbery practiced by Nolan himself on his spectators, subtly instilling in them the idea that, perhaps, everything they have just seen is not really real?
