For Interstellar (2014), Christopher Nolan favored practical effects, real sets, and shooting on film to ensure it wouldn’t look dated in 20 years. This choice is a key reason why the movie has aged so well.

For Dunkirk (2017), Christopher Nolan consulted survivors and historians to ensure accuracy in uniforms, ships, weather, and timeline. He shot scenes during a small storm but cut them in editing because the real 1940 weather was calm.

For Interstellar, Christopher Nolan planted 500 acres of real corn because he didn’t want to CGI Cooper’s farm. After filming, the production sold the corn harvest and turned a $62,000 profit on it, helping offset the cost of growing it.

The connection between Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" (2014) & Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" (2014): Christopher Nolan’s father died in 2009, after a year-long battle with cancer that was diagnosed just as he was finishing 'Inception' (2010), and as Jonathan Nolan was starting to write 'Interstellar' (2014). His father’s diagnosis was very much in his mind, Jonathan Nolan said, “the connection that you have with your parents. It was the background to much of it.” Christopher Nolan himself sees 'Interstellar' more in terms of his relationship with his own children – Rory, Magnus, Oliver and Flora – all of whom have given him the working titles for the last four of his movies. The Dark Knight was “Rory’s First Kiss”, Inception was “Oliver’s Arrow”, The Dark Knight Rises was “Magnus Rex”, and Interstellar was “Flora’s Letter”. The need to be away from them while filming eats at him. “There is a lot of guilt for that. A lot of guilt. The very sadness of saying goodbye to people is a massive expression of the love you feel for them. For me, 'Interstellar' is really about being a father. The sense of your life passing you by and your kids growing up before your eyes. Very much what I felt watching Richard Linklater’s 'Boyhood' (2014), an extraordinary film, which is weirdly doing the same thing in a completely different way. We are all engaged in the biggest mystery of all, which is just living through time.” ("Christopher Nolan: the man who rebooted the blockbuster", Tom Shone, The Guardian, 2014) P.S: 1) Happy 66th birthday Richard Linklater! 2) Happy 56th birthday, Christopher Nolan!

Christopher Nolan never explained the ending of Interstellar (2014). When asked if Cooper’s reunion with his daughter was real or symbolic, he said, “It’s not about what you see, it’s about what you feel.” The emotion mattered more than the answer.

Christopher Nolan always refused to explain the ending of Interstellar (2014). Some fans believed Cooper never reunited with his daughter and it was imaginary. Nolan said “You have to see it yourself. It's there. I know what I think but it’s no more valid than yours.”

Tom Hardy’s silent takedown in Dunkirk is a masterclass in tension. Christopher Nolan used real Spitfires and IMAX cameras to make every second feel authentic. Pure cinema.

In Interstellar, every tick heard on the water planet’s soundtrack is spaced 1.25 seconds apart, with each one representing an entire day passing on Earth. One of Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer’s smartest details.

The fighter planes in Dunkirk are real restored Supermarine Spitfire aircraft flown by professional pilots. A lifelong aviation fan, Nolan insisted on filming real planes, not CGI. For him, it was a cinematic dream to make viewers feel inside the cockpit.
