1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: When discussing what makes a great film, you often hear 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: the phrase it all comes down to the story. But 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: not according to one of the premier filmmakers of today, 5 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Director Chris Nolan passionately tells The Telegraph, it's a very 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: popular fallacy, sometimes with critics as well, that all that 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: matters is the scale of the story being told. People 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: will tell you that the success of Star Wars had 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 2: nothing to do with its visual effects and it was 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 2: all down to its great story. But clearly that's not 11 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: the case. It is indeed a great story, but it's 12 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: also an incredible visual experience, which is an undeniable part 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: of great cinema. There's a wilful denial of what movies 14 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: actually are. Nolan's latest Oppenheimer, is out now. 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: That's Direct from Hollywood.
