Survival is victory.
The Big Picture In a film landscape that is overflowing with intellectual property, Christopher Nolan is one of the rare directors whose name still fills the seats in movie theaters. Even the rise of Nolan is hardly something that needs to be explained to the average moviegoer.
Set during the Second World War, the film tells the story of an integral turning point in the war. Pushed to the northmost border of France, the Allied powers find themselves surrounded by the German army and in desperate need of an evacuation. The year is 1940 and America has not yet joined the war. If Germany were to continue towards the English Channel and ruthlessly quash the floundering Allies, the war could have very well finished right then and there.

In many of his previous films, Nolan’s main characters are obsessed with capturing control over something that should be outside their grasp. In Memento, Leonard exploits his lack of memory in order to give himself a constant sense of closure.
