Christopher Nolan is the definition of a Great director.
Since "Memento" (2000) Nolan has been directing one hit after another and at this point in his career it honestly seems like this man can do no wrong. From his writing skills to his ability of bringing nearly any scenario to life in such a simple manner, he has definitely made his mark on the movie world and will continue to be a huge player in the the years to come.
Nolan's reboot of the Batman Trilogy has put him in the limelight though, by directing this adaptation he has created one of the most successful franchise reboots of all time. There is no person with any sense of movie taste that can say that they have not seen these films. And if you are sitting here reading this, and you can honestly say that you have not seen these movies- please do yourself a favor and go out and buy The Dark Knight. Buy It. Because you will want to own it after viewing it.
Heath Ledger's last and final role as Joker will forever be remembered as cinema's definition of perfect movie antagonist. This just proves Nolan's ability to Cast for a movie. Nolan see's what most cannot before the idea of a movie is even conceived. For example: Heath Ledger was the one and only choice for Nolan when deciding for the role of Joker, they even met to talk about their idea's and vision for the Character before the script had even been written. Now that my friends, is sight!
Nolan's Writing ability is ahead of his time as well. After his third movie "Insomnia" he approached Warner Bros. about the idea for Inception. After getting the Go Ahead from them it took him nearly 8 years for him to complete the script to the point that he was satisfied with. What he came up with was a mind bending story that eventually received much praise and recognition for all types of awards, and grossing nearly 9 million worldwide.
The Dark Knight Rises is the most anticipated movie of 2012, hands down. This is an incredibly feat considering all the big name movies that will hit theaters in just a 4 month window including the new Spiderman reboot being directed by Marc Webb, and Marvels blockbuster film The Avengers.
Christopher Nolan is already a legend in my book. The best part is that he has only just begun.
