3 Philosophies Christopher Nolan Gave Us Through His Movies.

1. Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.

The Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan presented us with his version of Batman. Contrary to all other superheroes of our times Batman doesn't possess extraordinary or supernatural powers. He is a man with financial and technical advantages but a man nevertheless. We see Bruce Wayne failing and falling at various juncture in his life, like we all do at some point or the other in our lives. But everytime batman falls he is reminded of a philosophy his father once taught him and that is - 'Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.'

Although there are various other enlightening philosophies in the movie such as learn to conquer your fears. But this one stands out as it not only helps Bruce Wayne through out the trilogy, but also gives us a lesson to remember everytime we feel down and out.

2. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

The second, and probably one of the best movies ever, of the Batman Trilogy. The movie will always be remembered for Heath Ledger's jaw dropping performance more than anyone or anything else. Ledger portrayed the Joker like it was never portrayed before. But the movie is much more than individual brilliances of the actors and the director. The vision of Joker really made the audience question the laws and the codes of conduct of the society. There are various philosophies that made the movie unforgettable and impactful but a philosophy that grows on you is - 'You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' Not only brilliantly written and delivered the above mentioned lines also have a real deep meaning. This philosophy will never let you be a coward. It will continuously remind you that you are only a hero as long as you can go beyond all limits and stay self less and the moment you think about yourself the society will discard the hero in you and present you as a villain. Also, this philosophy may help you in the dark (k) nights of your life. And at the moment of making a tough call.

3. They'll beg you and they'll flatter you for the secret, but as soon as you give it up... you'll be nothing to them.

This may not be a highly discussed philosophy but is an important one as far as way of living is concerned. The movie - 'The Prestige' is tale of two magicians and their secrets. Few people who claim their secrets to be their lives. The philosophy here is simple and that is we must keep a few cards really close to our chest. If you give away all your secrets your greatest works will also lose their essence. People are attracted to the mysterious, they love what they don't understand easily.

So if you have been ignored, if you have lost a dear one's attention, be an element of mystery. Keep a few tricks folded in your sleeves. Let no one know those deep secrets about you
