Can Nolan do The Prisoner's ending justice?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Christopher Nolan's next movie has the potential to be a great remake, the director’s love of intricate worldbuilding may ironically work against him in this instance. Christopher Nolan’s movies are nothing if not perfectly crafted. Nolan's best and worst movies all run like clockwork, with their twisty plots becoming clearer as the story progresses.
The Prisoner’s Original Ending Didn’t Explain Anything Number Six’s Story Ended With A Surreal Twist Close The Prisoner’s ambiguous ending was highly divisive and the backlash to the show’s lack of answers was massive. Series creator/star Patrick McGoohan famously left Britain for a while to lie low after the final episode aired since The Prisoner’s finale didn’t explain who abducted Number Six, why they did it, or what the village was.
Christopher Nolan’s Movies Revel In Complex Worldbuilding Even Tenet and Inception Are Much More Straightforward Than The Prisoner Close Despite their complexity, Nolan’s movies love explaining themselves. While they have their ambiguities, the stakes of the story and the rules of their world are always clear. For example, when Cobb leaves the top spinning at the end of Inception, viewers understand the significance of this image.
The miniseries didn’t clarify who its villains were, what its stakes were, or why anything depicted in the series happened. It is tough to see the creators of meticulously crafted mysteries like The Prestige and Memento ending a movie with an open-ended “Who knows what was going on/ what it all means” twist, but this is exactly what made The Prisoner so historically significant.
