Part 3/12:
Nolan’s skill in storytelling shines brightest in how he maintains a compelling narrative flow despite the film’s sprawling scope. The movie is lauded for its pacing, never succumbing to boredom, even during scenes depicting congressional hearings or political debates. Nolan’s ability to make hearings and political theater riveting on-screen is seen as a testament to his mastery of editing and visual storytelling. The sweeping shots—likely achieved through practical effects and possibly minimal CGI—emphasize the scale of the historical events, portraying moments of grandeur, tension, and human vulnerability with equal weight.
