He flirts with Eternalism —the theory that the past, present, and future are all equally real (most literally seen in the Tesseract of Interstellar ).
Nolan frequently suggests that objective reality is secondary to personal narrative. In Memento , Leonard Shelby famously says, "We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are."
Despite his reputation for "cold" or "clinical" filmmaking, Nolan’s climax is almost always emotional. In Interstellar , the "solution" to a quantum physics problem is literally the love between a father and daughter.
Nolan’s work often investigates the sacrifice of truth for the greater good.
