Christopher Nolan illuminati (Inception-Dark Knight-Memento)

Christopher Nolan moved to L.A to pursue his interest in film. He later become a recluse and lost all contact with all his friends at the film club in UCL. He was having trouble in Hollywood and could not land a job with any of the studios.

Nolan out of desperation then became involved with Satanic secret societies in Hollywood who promised him a successful career. This came at a price as he had to ritually sacrifice his wife in a satanic ritual for the cult. The cult then replaced his wife a look alike Mk-ultra slave.

Nolan has regretted what he has done ever since and by trying to stop his guilt he has revealed what has happened in his movies which all feature a dead wife (guilt by association):

Inception: In which everything Cobb(a.k.a Nolan) does involves “being with” his dead wife Mal or being reunited with his kids, from whom he’s separated because of how Mal died. She leaped from a window, but Cobb(Nolan) feels (and is) responsible. Cobb also convinced her to lay down in front of a train in their “limbo” world.

In The Dark Knight, the Joker kills Rachel Dawes — Harvey Dent’s(a.k.a Nolan's) girlfriend and Bruce Wayne’s love interest — facilitating the creation of Two-Face. Both Batman and Dent, of course, feel (and are) responsible. Also Batman Begins involves dead wife.

In The Prestige, the accidental death of Angier’s(a.k.a Nolan's) wife (because of the way Borden tied a knot) fuels an escalating rivalry between the two magicians.

Memento, Leonard Shelby(a.k.a Nolan) is seeking revenge against his wife’s attacker, even though it was he who (accidentally) killed her.
