Nolan's eyes are shrouded by the grey smoothness of modernity. The fundamental aesthetic category which structures his perception of reality is the business class lounge

Bragg is the last of the Reithians i.e public service ethos, intellectually serious, committed to making complex cultural subjects available to a broad audience. This stands in contrast to what TV has become in the modern-era: wall-to-wall quiz shows, soaps and reality TV.

One reason why the humanities have collapsed: instead of teaching magic, fascination, beauty, students are taught cold identity power politics. This is economic too, since without the spirit of ART, people can only cram their souls with commodity.
