What I found interesting was the casting of Tom Berenger. I recognized him, but I didn't know who it was. I kept asking Lisa, who is that and then we saw the credits and it clicked and we were...surprised at his appearance.
But it is a very distinctive face.
Also, Nolan is a mindf#cker extraordinaire. And it's not an in your face thing, it's often very small with a big impact. The last 20 seconds of 'Inception' and if you remember the scene in 'Memento' where Carrie Anne Moss subtly removes every writing implement from the room and then goes out in the car and waits for Pearce to forget? Mind. F#ck.
Small gestures. Big payoff.
And one thing I also love is that he doesn't try to second guess the audience. He makes a film he'd like to see and invites us along.
