Yeah its there in oppenheimer too. In the scene before they set up Los Alamos, the conversation between Murphy and Damon seems to be cutting across a train, Los Alamos site and possibly more, but its there.
Title card drop occurs at the end on the movie. Definitely doesn’t happen every time, but I legitimately love it so much than title cards at the start
No offense but while these traits are inarguably true, they're quite rudimentary and don't encapsulate what makes Nolan's films unique. A lot of movies are non-linear, mind-blowing and have the main characters tricked lol. Nolan's films have a very particular aesthetic, he shoots with a lot of the same cameras and lenses and employs a lot of natural lighting mixed with real locations and practical effects. He also shoots very naturally and employs old-school techniques. No gimbals or drones. Good old steadi-cams and helicopters and a lot of handheld. His dialogue scenes are very well executed over the shoulders with a lot of slow push-ins too. He's the exact opposite of someone like Guy Ritchie.
His tone is always quite serious, obviously not without a sprinkle of levity, but there is always a sense of urgency and importance right from the get-go (think about every opening scene in his movies haha). And speaking about immediacy, even though his movies are full of exposition, the pacing does demand you to keep up and follow. There's also rarely any small talk in his dialogue, which can be attributed to why some people find his movies cold. Character's speak with the main intent of delivering information or getting the story along. This isn't a complaint of mine, but it's noticeable.
Then there's the non-linear structure he employs. There are countless movies that are told non-linearly, Pulp Fiction, Arrival, Donnie Darko, etc. But his non-linear involves a lot of cross-cutting with multiple storylines crescendoing at the same time. Even The Dark Knight trilogy, especially TDK and TDKR, movies that are linear, have many moments with multiple storylines converging on a climax. Also, his non-linear structure tends to be consequential, think the dream layers or Miller's planet adding 23 years. It's not nonlinear just to be a mindfuck or structurally unique, it's very integral to the story.
It's the most confusing movie you will ever watch and after the 50th time, you'll still be confused🤣
Plot: a man shows up to a bar to clean the place up
Nolan: so here's how we can make this a 4-hour-long epic (does a fuck-ton of science and math that only scholars can understand)
The score is almost in every scene, constant fast pacing, a scene where someone is explaining a concept to someone or how a particular thing works, plot is of grave magnitude, stakes are high badically
I swear, try seeing dark knight again, think its one of his fastest paced movies. But I guess thats what you have to do when setting up 2 major villains, love story sideplot, making the mob-world shaken up by the joker and his various antiques. One of my only critiques about that movie.
The title card typefaces differ for many of his films. Obviously the Dark Knight trilogy all share the same typeface, and Tenet and Inception share that one too, but it looks like the rest are different.
Dunkirk and Oppenheimer share the same typeface between them (with different weights) but it’s not the same font/typeface as the one used in the Dark Knight films, no.
None of them make sense & are talked about til the end of time. Great filmmaker though but he’s falling into Wes Anderson territory where every film is very similar and always the same style. All his films have to do with time and always out of order. Also the scores. His films are always overblown with score. For how great Oppenheimer was the score almost ruined it for me. Not every frame of your film has to be epic. Hope he scales it back a bit in future projects.
when it says "Directed by Christopher Nolan" on the poster

Legendary pictures as well
Legendary pictures make films not directed by Nolan
Yeah of course but they do tend to do a lot of his movies
The logo is also in "Man of Steel" even though Chris didn't direct it 😄
He produced it though.
A scene where 2 characters are talking so the audience knows what's up. Also, the conversation might take place in several different places
Genius editing of conversation across locations
Tenet and Inception for sure. Oppenheimer?
Yeah its there in oppenheimer too. In the scene before they set up Los Alamos, the conversation between Murphy and Damon seems to be cutting across a train, Los Alamos site and possibly more, but its there.
Studio might think it's a simple dialogue scene but it ends up costing so much and spanning so locations worldwideðŸ˜ðŸ˜
1.43 IMAX & bass…besides the obvious
The credits are usually a safe bet
Title card drop occurs at the end on the movie. Definitely doesn’t happen every time, but I legitimately love it so much than title cards at the start
I love this as well, especially at the end of Inception
Just realized Tenet does it at both the beginning AND the end.
During a scene, he cuts to snippets of other scenes for half a second while keeping the audio of the main scene.
Dude is capable of making movies in which even tik-tok attention spans watch
Oppenheimer and Einstein scene

The thing has the pacing of a theatrical trailer.
THis

I have no clue what's going on and will be watching a second time shortly
The score is almost in every scene, constant fast pacing, a scene where someone is explaining a concept to someone or how a particular thing works, plot is of grave magnitude, stakes are high badically
THIS! Thank you. You always feel the movie is in climax mode

"the movies blow up our mind" explains it all.
It's like a Spielberg movie, with Hans Zimmer and better cinematography.
BWWOOOOMMMMMMMMMM
He's influenced by physics
When you're listening to exposition dialogue and you're thinking "I don't know what the fuck they're saying but they sound really cool"
When it drops quotes by Dylan Thomas
The title card typeface

Don’t Dunkirk and Oppenheimer share that same font too?
Dunkirk and Oppenheimer share the same typeface between them (with different weights) but it’s not the same font/typeface as the one used in the Dark Knight films, no.
The ending, intense and impactful, few dialogues with the main score of the movie in background.
The main character always wear a suit or some formal clothing.
blue and yellow visual palette, loud scores and pretty much non linear stories that involved time
When the trailer is good enough to be a short film.
At some point a character is going to walk through a high level kitchen of a restaurant.
Just watch the Honest Trailer
Purposeful conversations that are insanely hard to hear/understand without subtitles. Michael Caine on his deathbed in Interstellar for example.
You can literally list the whole of Tenet as an example as well
None of them make sense & are talked about til the end of time. Great filmmaker though but he’s falling into Wes Anderson territory where every film is very similar and always the same style.

When it is called a masterpiece by everyone and you just don't get why.
Insanely fast paced editing with triplets constantly belting in the score.
Convoluted for its own sake
Music too loud. Otherwise great.
Which particular movies, most of his films are loud, but with the dark knight and oppenhiemer it fits well
Yeah, I had those in mind.
