An excellent recommended short film for all film and Nolan fans!
Duddlebug is an unique short film that with only 3 minutes makes you think outside of the box. This is of course what Christopher Nolan is known for, his unique one-of-a-kind films that go beyond a normal imagination. Duddlebug is the beginning of Nolan and you can see where this idea of a dream within a dream (Inception), a journal within a journal (The Prestige) or a flashback within a flashback (Memento) comes from. In this short a man runs around chasing a bug trying to smash it with his shoe. In the end as he finally succeeds defeating the film's conflict, a man appears in the same position with the same shoe right above him ready to smash him. Above that man is another man in the same position ready to smash him, and so on. This scenes shows Christopher's Nolan's major idea that he has used in some of his films, for example: in Inception there's the dream within a dream , a journal within a journal (The Prestige) or a flashback within a flashback (Memento).
