Christopher Nolan achieves a major feat, leaving behind legends like Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick after Oppenheimer’s success

Christopher Nolan Beats Legends Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick After Oppenheimer’s Global Success to Achieve This Major Feat

The American film industry has had the touch of cinema’s greatest filmmakers.
Notably, our generation’s biggest stalwarts are Christopher Nolan, Martin
Scorsese, and Stanley Kubrick in no particular order. Gems like Interstellar and
Oppenheimer were given to us by Nolans’ love for complex storytelling. Thrillers
like Shutter Island and Wolf of Wall Street showed Scorsese’s love for a
“liberal” style of cinema. And Kubrick just enjoyed plain storytelling with
underlying dark humor and attention to detail. However, on this one list, Nolan
surpassed all these legends to achieve this major spot. 

In an update by Christopher Nolan Art & Updates on Twitter, Nolan made it to the
top 250 films of IMBd, along with his Italian and American counterparts Scorsese
and Kubrick. And it is not really a surprise. The recent blockbuster success of
Oppenheimer has indeed pushed him ahead of these two directors.

With eight films in the list of 250, he managed to beat the other two who only
have seven. The 53-year-old filmmaker had in works with Oppenheimer’s story come
on screen for quite some time. The 8 films in the IMBd list were included – The
Dark Knight, Inception, Oppenheimer, Interstellar, The Prestige, Memento, The
Dark Knight Rises, and Batman Begins.

Based on the biography ‘American Prometheus,’ Nolan traces the political and
scientific journey of the father of the atomic bomb, Robert J. Oppenheimer.
Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, and Emily Blunt made a wonderful cast. Moreover,
Robert Downey Jr. got a well-deserving comeback. It was one of his first major
acting gigs after Iron Man.

The fans who already showed their love at the box office rushed to support the
director’s win too.


FANS’ LOVE FOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN AND HIS RE-WATCHABLE MAGIC ON SCREEN

The netizens on Twitter wished for a long and healthy life for Nolan so that we
could watch more of his movies. Discussing the final frames of Nolan, the
impending doom highlighting the scene’s backgrounds, they talked about the
top-notch choice of background score in his films. Oppenheimer, having Ludwig
Göransson develop the background score in the film, was the icing on the cake.
And as Peaky Blinders [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/peaky-blinders/]‘ Murphy
was being showered with mentions of Oscars, Nolan’s films have once again proven
to be masterpieces worth the rewatch.
