Nolan is good at breaking up stories skillfully in telling stories, making the telling process itself a wonderful performance. The handling of story time is unique in every film. Nolan lives in Hollywood, a film-making environment full of genres, but maintains his own style and creates films with his own imprint, which is well received by the audience. His success is inseparable from his profound perspective and endless creativity. His narrative skills make the ideas in his mind perfectly presented on the screen and shared by the public. ("Today's Media" comment? )

Few directors in Hollywood can be uncompromising in shooting techniques and artistic integrity. Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors who still firmly control his films. Of course, Nolan's autonomy stems from his ability to control the film budget and his professionalism in finishing the film on time. In Nolan, he combines the dual temperament of a master artist and a director craftsman. (Southern Weekend Review? )
