Stephen Colbert sits down with “Oppenheimer” writer and director Christopher Nolan for a wide-ranging interview set in a very apropos location: Albert Einstein’s office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. Watch as Stephen digs deep into Nolan’s stylistic choices in the film and fact-checks elements of his personal mystique, like his reputation for shunning smartphones.

"Interstellar" changed me. I know understand I can only perceive reality partially because of a brain that has evolved to operate only in 4 dimensions rather than more. There are no "good things" or "bad things" that happen to you. They are only "things" that you happen to perceive, because all possibilities are happening as well, just without your perception.

The Following was amazing when you dont have a budget and your up against the ropes, sometimes it brings the best out of you...... ive watched it at least 10 times... Unfavorable opinion but I think Inception, had to say, but was extremely underrated. An absolute masterpiece, Leo needs to work with Nolan more.

During all of his interviews when the movie was first released last summer, Chris said he did not consciously have adapting the Oppenheimer story in mind when he wrote that line in 'Tenet', it seems like he's giving an contradictory answer here.
