Intro I’ve always been a fan of Christopher Nolan films. I recently bought a blu-ray collection of his movies, including films back through Batman Begins and The Prestige (wish it had included Memento).

My first thoughts were some of the same that crowd my head after watching any realistic war film. War is terrible, and the biggest tragedy of human nature is …
