Themes

Nolan's work is often based around an emotional or conceptual theme, often associated additionally with guilt. Memento is about guilt (Leonard's failure to save his wife and inability to remember what he has done about it since) and the human reliance on memory. Insomnia is about guilt (Dormer accidentally kills a friend) and the human reliance on sleep. Batman Begins is about guilt (Bruce Wayne's belief that he was responsible for the deaths of his parents) and the nature of fear.
