Nolan Memes

This meme is playing with the homophone pronunciation of historical figures' names and Christopher Nolan's cinematic style! Just like Nolan's "Oppenheimer" dramatized the father of the atomic bomb, this imagines his next epic about ancient scientists with a star-studded cast: • "Heron" (sounds like actor Aaron) - The Greek inventor who created the first steam engine prototype • "Ptolemy" (sounds like Timothée) - The astronomer who created geocentric model of the universe • "Hypatia" (sounds like... well, no one) - The brilliant female mathematician and philosopher tragically murdered • "Archimedes" (in his bathtub scene, naturally) - The "Eureka!" guy discovering buoyancy principles Honestly, would watch this 3-hour historical science epic with minimal dialogue and Hans Zimmer's BWAAAAM soundtrack in IMAX.
