Christopher Nolan

biography:
Sir Christopher Edward Nolan (born 30 July 1970) is a British and American filmmaker. As a significant auteur of his generation, he has established himself as a major figure of 21st-century Hollywood. His films have earned over $6 billion worldwide, making him the seventh highest-grossing film director of all time. Nolan's accolades include two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and two British Academy Film Awards. He was appointed as a CBE in 2019 and was knighted in 2024 for his contributions to film.

Nolan developed an interest in filmmaking from a young age. After studying English literature at University College London, he made several short films before his feature film debut with Following (1998). Nolan gained international recognition with his second film, Memento (2000), and transitioned into studio filmmaking with Insomnia (2002). He became a high-profile director with The Dark Knight trilogy (2005–2012). He found further success with The Prestige (2006), Inception (2010), Interstellar (2014) and Dunkirk (2017). After the release of Tenet (2020), Nolan parted ways with longtime distributor Warner Bros. Pictures. He signed with Universal Pictures for Oppenheimer (2023), which won him Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture.

Three of Nolan's films have been inducted into the National Film Registry. Infused with a metaphysical outlook, his works thematise epistemology, existentialism, ethics, the construction of time and the malleable nature of memory and personal identity. They feature mathematically inspired images and concepts, unconventional narrative structures, practical special effects, experimental soundscapes, large-format film photography and materialistic perspectives. His enthusiasm for the use and preservation of traditional film stock has also garnered significant attention. He has co-written several of his films with his brother, Jonathan. He runs the production company Syncopy Inc. with his wife, Emma Thomas.

biography:
Christopher Edward Nolan 1970. július 30-án született Londonban. Gyerekkorában kezdett filmezni, apja, Brendan James Nolan 8mm-es kameráját használta. Anyja, Christina, légi utaskísérő és tanár volt. Nagy rajongója és csodálója volt a Star Wars franchise-nak, ezért 8 éves kora körül, stop-motion filmeket kezdett csinálni Space Wars címmel. 11 éves korától tudta, hogy filmkészítő akar lenni.

A Nolan család Chicagóba költözött, ahol további filmeket készített két testvére, Adrien és Roko Belic segítségével. Később közreműködött az Oscar-jelölt filmjüknél is.

Elsőnek 1989-ben tűnt fel a Tarantella című rövidfilmmel. Következő filmjével, a Larency-vel már eljutott a Cannes-i nemzetközi filmfesztiválra.

A rövidfilmek után az 1998-as Following-gal tért vissza, amelyért néhány díjat bezsebelt. A Befolyó pénzből megrendezhette a Memento-című filmjét. Mind a kritikusok, mind a közönség pozitívan fogadta, jelölték a legjobb forgatókönyv Oscar-díjára.

2001-ben jelent meg következő filmje, az Álmatlanság, melyet már vegyesen fogadtak. Habár igaz, hogy ezt részben a Warner stúdiónak tulajdonítják, akik a munka 50% befolyásolták, ráadásul a forgatókönyvet sem Nolan írta, így ő kevésbé tudott érvényesülni. Ezután viszont nagyon sikeres filmeket rendezett.

A Batman trilógia

2003-ban felmerült az ötlete egy Batman film elkészítésének, amihez a Warner stúdió Nolant kérte fel. 2005-ben jelent meg az első rész, a Batman:Begins, avagy a Batman:Kezdődik, mely a kritikusok és a nézők is elismerését is elnyerte. A filmben Christian Bale, Liam Neeson Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine és Morgan Freeman játszották a főszerepet. A 2. rész, a Sötét lovag további sikereket hozott, sokan ezt tartják a széria legjobbjának. A film egy Oscar-díjat kapott. Az Akadémia a legjobb férfi mellékszereplő kategóriában pusztumusz díjazta Heath Ledgert. A film érdekessége, hogy Nolan itt használt először Imax-kamerát.

A trilógia 3. része a Sötét Lovag Felemelkedés volt, melyben Christian Bale mellett pedig Tom Hardy és Marion Cotillard is játszott.

Nolan a trilógia egyes filmjei közti átmenetben sem pihent. 2008-ban került a vászonra a Prestige, azaz a Tökéletes trükk, melyben ismét Christian Bale-el dolgozott együtt, de a főbb szereplők között köszönthettük Michael Caine-t, illetve

Hugh Jackmant.

A 2. és 3. rész között, 2010-ben készült el az Inception, amelyet sokan Nolan legjobb filmjének tartanak. A fantasztikus látványú film főbb szerepeit olyan sztárok alakították, mint Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon Lewitt, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page és Ken Vatanabe.

2014-ben készült el legutóbbi filmje, az Inerstellar. A film története szerint a Föld lakhatatlan, ezért kutatók egy csoportjának élhető bolygót kell keresniük. A produkciót olyan sztárok nevei fémjelezték, mint Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Jessica Chestain és Michael Caine. A film óriási siker lett mind pénzügyileg, mind a kritikusok között.

Megnyerte a legjobb vizuális effektek kategóriában az Oscar-t.

크리스토퍼 놀란

biography:
크리스토퍼 에드워드 놀란 CBE (영어: Christopher Jonathan James Nolan/Christopher Jonathan James Nolan 1970년 7월 30일)은 영국의 영화 감독, 각본가, 영화 제작자이다. 유니버시티 칼리지 런던(UCL)을 졸업했다. 복잡한 스토리텔링을 갖춘 할리우드 블록버스터로 유명한 놀란은 21세기 최고의 영화감독으로 평가받고 있다. 그의 영화는 전 세계적으로 60억 달러 이상의 수익을 올렸다. 많은 상을 받은 그는 아카데미상 5개 부문, BAFTA상 5개 부문, 골든 글로브상 6개 부문에 후보로 올랐습니다. 2015년에는 타임지 선정 세계에서 가장 영향력 있는 100인 중 한 명으로 선정되었으며, 2019년에는 영화에 대한 공헌을 인정받아 대영제국 훈장 사령관으로 임명되었습니다.

놀란은 영국과 미국의 혼혈이지만 어릴때 영국에서 자라서 강한 영국 악센트를 가지고 있다. 그는 7살쯤에 자신의 아버지의 카메라를 가지고 영화를 찍기 시작했으며 그때부터 그만두지않고 영화를 만들고 있다. 그는 영화 대학교를 다니고 싶었지만 실패하여 대학교에서 영어를 전공했고, 그 덕분에 그의 대본들은 뛰어나다. 1993년 영문학 학사 학위를 취득한 후 놀란은 대본 리더, 카메라 오퍼레이터, 기업 영화 및 산업 영화 감독으로 일했다. 그는 단편 영화 Larceny(1996)를 감독, 각본, 편집했으며, 제한된 장비와 소수의 출연진 및 제작진과 함께 주말에 흑백으로 촬영했습니다. 놀란의 자금 지원을 받고 UCL Union Film Society의 장비로 촬영된 이 작품은 1996년 케임브리지 영화제에 출품되었으며 UCL 최고의 단편 중 하나로 평가된다. 하지만 알 수 없는 이유로 이 영화는 공개적으로 공개되지 않았습니다. Nolan은 세 번째 단편인 Doodlebug(1997)를 촬영했는데, 이 작품은 신발을 신고 벌레를 쫓는 것처럼 보이는 남자에 대한 내용인데, 나중에 그것이 자신의 축소판이라는 것을 알게 되었습니다. Nolan과 Thomas는 1990년대 중반에 Larry Mahoney와 함께 처음으로 장편영화를 만들려고 시도했으나 폐기되었습니다. 그의 경력 중 이 기간 동안 Nolan은 여러 번의 거부에 직면하면서 자신의 프로젝트를 시작하는 데 거의 성공하지 못했습니다. 그는 "영국에는 금융 풀이 매우 제한되어 있습니다. 솔직히 말해서 매우 클럽적인 곳입니다. 영국 영화 산업으로부터 어떠한 지원도 받은 적이 없습니다."라고 덧붙였습니다.

《미행》으로 데뷔하여 두 번째 작품 《메멘토》로 크게 성공했다.  메멘토는 그의 남동생이 쓰고있던 책의 아이디어를 따서 만든 영화이다. 이후 작품으로는 《인셉션》과 다크 나이트 3부작 (《배트맨 비긴즈》, 《다크 나이트》, 《다크 나이트 라이즈》), 《인터스텔라》이 있다. 2017년 영화 《덩케르크》가 개봉되었다. 이번 2023년도에는 《오펜하이머》를 만들었고 크게 성공했다.  놀란의 영화 메멘토(Memento)와 다크 나이트(The Dark Knight)는 미국 의회 도서관에 의해 "문화적, 역사적, 미학적으로" 중요한 작품으로 국립 영화 등록소에 보존되도록 선정되었다. 이 영화들과 인셉션은 BBC가 선정한 21세기 최고의 영화 100편과 헐리우드 리포터가 선정한 최고의 영화에 선정되었습니다. 2017년에는 다크나이트, 인셉션 및 인터스텔러가 Empire 잡지의 "가장 위대한 영화 100선" 여론 조사에 등장했다.2018년 할리우드 리포터(The Hollywood Reporter)는 놀란을 연예계에서 가장 영향력 있는 100인 중 한 명으로 선정하고 그를 "자신만의 프랜차이즈"라고 묘사했다. 퍼레이드는 2022년 역대 최고 영화 감독 75인 목록에서 놀란을 8위로 선정했습니다. 놀란의 작업은 "평론가와 영화 학자들뿐만 아니라 일반 영화 팬들에게도 열광적으로 수용, 분석, 토론"되어 왔다. 영국영화연구소(British Film Institute)의 제프 앤드류(Geoff Andrew)는 놀란을 "설득력 있고 창의적인 스토리텔러"라고 부르며 할리우드 주류에서 매우 개인적인 영화를 제작하는 몇 안 되는 현대 영화제작자 중 한 명으로 꼽았습니다.

놀란은 영화를 만들때 CG를 거의 쓰지 않고 촬영 장소들도 진짜 장소들을 자주 사용한다.  그는 아이맥스 카메라를 사용하는걸 좋아하고 이번 오펜하이머에도 아이맥스를 사용했다. 놀란은 영화를 한번만 봐서는 놓칠 디테일들을 꼭 영화에 심어놓는다. 그는 또 시간을 반대로 가게 하거나, 시간때를 섞어놓거나, 또 흑백과 컬러를 사용하여 자신의 생각을 표현한다. 이번 오펜하이머도 흑백과 컬러를 많이 사용하였고 영화를 위해 흑백 아이맥스 65mm 필름을 개발했다. 놀란의 영화는 시간, 기억, 개인의 정체성에 대한 개념을 탐구하는 형이상학적인 주제에 주로 초점을 맞춘다. 그의 작품은 수학에서 영감을 받은 아이디어와 이미지, 틀에 얽매이지 않는 서사 구조, 유물론적 관점, 음악과 사운드의 연상적 사용이 특징입니다. 영화제작자 기예르모 델 토로(Guillermo del Toro)는 놀란을 "감정적인 수학자"라고 불렀다. BBC의 예술 편집자 Will Gompertz는 그를 "맥박이 뛰고 머리가 어지러워질 수 있는 지적으로 야심찬 블록버스터 영화를 만드는 아트하우스 작가"라고 묘사했습니다. Joseph Bevan은 "그의 영화를 통해 아트하우스 단골들은 슈퍼 히어로 영화를 즐길 수 있고 멀티플렉스 군중은 미로 같은 줄거리에 참여할 수 있습니다." 라고 썼습니다. Nolan은 자신을 "스튜디오 시스템 내에서 작업하는 인디 영화 제작자"라고 생각합니다.

놀란은 19세 때 University College London에서 만난 Emma Thomas와 결혼했습니다. 그녀는 1997년부터 그의 모든 영화에서 프로듀서로 일해왔습니다. 부부는 4명의 자녀를 두고 있으며 로스앤젤레스에 거주하고 있습니다. 자신의 영화에 대한 홍보 인터뷰를 거의 하지 않는 놀란은 자신의 작품에 대해 어느 정도 미스터리를 유지하는 것을 선호합니다. 자신의 개인적인 삶에 대한 논의를 거부하면서 그는 영화제작자에 대한 전기 정보가 너무 많으면 관객의 경험이 저하된다고 생각한다. "나는 실제로 사람들이 영화를 볼 때 나를 염두에 두는 것을 전혀 원하지 않습니다."

title: Night of 100 Stars

overview: The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall.  The event, for which ticket-buyers paid up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like.  Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J.  ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
