00:00Looking at the various male characters in Nolan's filmography, one can easily guess his deepest fear.
00:06Losing his loved one, his wife, to whom he has been married for over 20 years and with whom he works in collaboration on all of his projects.
00:13Nolan makes his characters widows who will either have to live with it or reject it and try to forget it through desperate acts.
00:20In Memento, Leonard Shelby refuses to accept that he caused his wife's death and invents the ideal killer whom he will chase again and again until exhaustion.
00:28In The Dark Knight, it is Rachel who dies and takes with her Harvey Dent's kindness and Bruce Wayne's hope for a normal life.
00:35In Interstellar, Cooper is a single father who lost his wife to cancer and is trying to fulfill his role as a father as best he can.
00:42And in Inception, Cobbs is literally haunted by memories of his wife and her suicide, for which he feels responsible.
00:49By losing his loved one, the Nolanian character locks himself into his own reality.
00:53He takes refuge in a world he created from scratch to forget her.
00:57He locks himself in lies, in his art, in justice, across galaxies, in dreams.
01:04So here is proof that Christopher Nolan cares about his characters,
01:08that it really develops their fears, their doubts, their needs.
01:12He creates characters who suffer and try to forget by creating a facet of themselves, by putting on a mask.
