Today, we\u2019re watching a video that explores a staple of director Christopher Nolan: the crosscut.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Christopher Nolan<\/strong> wants to have it all. And by \u201call\u201d I mean crosscut plot threads. One urgent, nail-biting sequence just isn\u2019t enough. The man loves to splice together multiple heart-pounding story beats. Maybe one day he\u2019ll make a whole movie that\u2019s just one big crosscut. Oh, wait, <em><strong>Dunkirk<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>exists. Ah, Nolan, you\u2019ve thought of everything.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising that a director who thinks of storytelling as a puzzle would favor the crosscut. The technique allows parallel storylines to intermingle, and if assembled correctly, the magic trick can yield uniquely cinematic moments of multi-level suspense.<\/p>\n<p>A great example, as cited in the video essay below, is from <strong><em>The Dark Knight<\/em><\/strong>. In this fantastic Nolan crosscut, the now villainous Harvey Dent torments Commissioner Gordon\u2019s children, <em>while<\/em> a boat full of passengers must choose to blow up another ship in order to survive, <em>while<\/em> Batman chases after the Joker, who\u2019s going to blow up both boats regardless of what the passengers choose.<\/p>\n<p>At their best, crosscuts can generate the kind of thrilling momentum that has come to characterize much of Nolan\u2019s filmography: a thrilling compound of stakes and urgency, as well as a mastery of juggling disparate plots without losing the thread.<\/p>\n<p>And while Nolan has produced some damn fine crosscuts, there\u2019s an example from the second act of <em><strong>Interstellar<\/strong> <\/em>that just doesn\u2019t quite come together. Luckily, because Nolan is, if nothing else, a consistent man, he\u2019s made enough crosscuts that we can look to his previous work to suss out where <em>Interstellar\u00a0<\/em>went wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Watch \u201c<strong>Christopher Nolan vs. <em>Interstellar<\/em> \u2014 The Nolan Crosscut<\/strong>\u201c:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christopher Nolan vs. Interstellar \u2014 The Nolan Crosscut\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xaw9f1ujDnA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This breakdown comes courtesy of<strong>\u00a0Lessons From The Screenplay<\/strong>, which is a consistently insightful video essay channel created and run by\u00a0<strong>Michael Tucker<\/strong>.
