Christopher Nolan: The Prestige (2006)
He used some actors from his Batman film 'Batman begins' (2005), Christian Bale, Michael Caine) because he liked the partnership they had made and it worked while filming.

This film is dark and mysterious.

He wrote this film with his Brother Jonathon Nolan.

All three films I will be analysing are in the genres mystery and thriller
Mystery: The Prestige, Memento
Thriller: The Prestige, Memento, Batman Begins

For two of the films The Prestige and Batman Begin use the same filming editor Lee Smith

All three films has a sense of lose in them, in The Prestige their is a lose of career and family at the start and at the end, there is a element of lose of identity. This drives the characters to continue down a certain road. This is similar to Batman Begins. In Memento there are some similarities to the fact that there is a sense of lose, his wife is murdered and this sends he down a certain road. But this character has lost a part of himself and has to struggle everyday.

All three films has been written by Christopher is some way. The prestige and Memento are actually written by him and his brother where as Batman he writes the screenplay with David s. Goyer.

Auteur theory:
Christopher Nolan style of making films
Christopher doesn't really like CGI and he tries to stay away from using while filming, Batman Begins.


Christopher Nolan is known for his use of  uses a lot of
