Hearing Christopher Nolan talk about “the specific arc and mythology of the Fast And the Furious movies” is hilarious
he knows the storyline. how Dom and his brother drifted apart only for Dom to watch him die later on.

And why has Colbert never seen any of them? I thought he was from Chicago! Anyone from that city has got to have a deep appreciation for crazy driving.
I like good movies like any other cinema appreciator - to this day, I consider fast and the furious 2 to be one of the top 50 films I have ever seen. it makes complete sense and is done very well
Christopher suggesting Tokyo Drift to Colbert was not something I expected.
He's already talked about it befpre in a podcast.
He’s talked about it before, it’s one of the only Fast and Furious movies that’s actually about racing. The main engine of the story, the climactic event it’s all about the race. And if I’m not mistaken drifting as we know it did take shape in Tokyo initially. And imo subjectively it’s got one of the best songs in the franchise.
I have not watched FF2 and anything after the final Paul Walker movie, so I don know if those focus on racing more than Tokyo Drift.
Everyone should learn to appreciate a well made film, independent of the story, performances, etc. Like Avatar.
Wait until you know that he also loves Talladega Nights 😂
@@Bjork4sshake and bake 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Nolan repeating and repeating asking "how come you haven't watched Fast and Furious?!" was hilarious 😂
That will be me with someone who haven’t watched an Nolan movie 😂😂
And with such disbelief
@@oppenhomies4life username does not check out
@@oppenhomies4life That was my mom a few weeks ago after I told her I had watched Eragon for THE FIRST TIME.
He even knew the twist in Tokyo Drift so you know he's not lying that he's seen them.
well why would anyone lie about seeing Fast and Furious?
Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift being mentioned in the office of what was Albert Einstein's.. being discussed by Christopher Nolan. This is cinema. Thank you so much for this.
Never in my life did I think I’d hear Christopher Nolan talking about Fast and Furious lore
Its a fun franchise
Family
I hate the newer ones but I love the older movies, I also appreciate Nolan’s love for Bourne. I think it’s cuz he’s switched studios from WB and for Oppie he chose Universal so he references there catalogue out of good will.
@@paradise_valley Bourne is great. Especially Paul Greengrass's films. I haven't seen any Fast and the Furious movies since 5. I didn't like 2 or 3 that much. But liked 1, 4, and 5. Are any others worth watching?
@@ssssssstssssssss 6 and 7 are silly but fun, and worth it for Paul Walker’s story to end. 8 onwards is a mess, only worth watching if you honestly have nothing better to do and want a good laugh.
Kinda loving these long form prestige interviews.
It's a core tenet of Steven's to bring us only the best.
That's why he has such a huge following
Batman Begins
And with my insomnia I could watch these throughout a dark night.
The only thing I'm not liking is that they break it up into multiple segments. They aren't running ads in his videos, so they don't need to break it up. I wish they would just give us the full interview in one video.
He’s funny without being disrespectful. I wish more people had that ability.
I fairly agree
You're not supposed to find him funny, you're just supposed to experience him and consider the humorous possibilities implied by that experience.
@@TheUberjammer well, he mean on Nolan’s humor and I’ll agree with your half
@@TheUberjammer Literally Nolan
That high-pitched REALLY from Mr. Nolan is so funny XD He is such a cinephile nerd
Brilliant interview. Christopher was all in. Stephen’s genius on full display, humble, genuine, generous, kind. Like no other. Thank you one and all who made this possible. A privilege to experience.
I need a Chris Nolan audio commentary on each Fast and Furious movies, starting with Tokyo Drift😂
Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, John Williams, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, damn Stephen Colbert seriously is great at getting guests to do his shows particularly the ones who don't do talk shows all that much
I'm here for it.
@@ms0824 Me too 👍👍
I think it's because these great, intelligent artists recognize how intelligent Stephen is, as well as recognizing that he has a love, respect, and understanding for the artistic process. They know he's going to ask interesting questions that they haven't heard 100 times before.
@@kevinreylek2366Right. Plus, I think they’re fans of his show.
I like Colbert interviews, but I think this sort of long form interview is more a product of Nolan being in the middle of a huge Oscars campaign push right now, rather than something these guests can only get on his show.
Man, Nolan is definitely a HUGE Fast and Furious fan if he's recommending Tokyo Drift as the first one to watch! Absolute legend 😂
That's the last one I watched, I only saw one through 3
For real!
all went downhill after 3
lol
I love Colbert. He’s such a great interviewer. Also a great entertainer. Also a great person. Thanks Colbert for existing.
Thank you for adding the Part One-Four captions to the thumbnails, very helpful :) but maybe move them a little bit away from the timer 😂
The interns can't do anything right.
Took them 8 years to finally do this
Thank you for mentioning this! I didn’t even notice & was a lil frustrated trying to figure out the interview’s chronological order! And you’re right - it took me a minute to find it. They should include it in the video’s title.
Oh god THANK YOU. It was driving me nuts.
This is why Nolan is a classy director he admits he loves pop corn movies like fast series he's also a fan of michael bay M night shyamalan and ballad of ricky bobby. He never said bad things about other directors and their movies. That's why Nolan is one of the goat
In different parts of this interview, he also references The Wire and Iron Man. It's clear to me that good directors consume a diverse range of content: Quentin Tarantino being another director who is well known for that. Nolan liking Fast and Furious is not quite as surprising to me as Werner Herzog watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo though.
@danmazz1936 but quentin loves trashing other directors Nolan has never done that so far. Couple months ago spike lee trashed Oppenheimer yet Nolan responded in a classy way
@@Rizky-Gumilarlink?
Most directors don't say bad things about their colleagues. It's the fans that are immature
He dropped the ball with Tenet…
the pure disbelief in nolan's voice and face upon confirming to colbert "you've never seen any of them before?" had me in stitches 😭😭
So good to see Stephen play to his strength: the long-form interview. (And thanks for numbering the clips!)
Stephen has nailed this unexpected long interview with his wisdom and wit. Thank you for showing these two amazing people. Love both very much.
Wait, how come I didn't know Nolan was such a huge Fast & Furious fan 😂
I wasn't expecting that but it makes sense
I would put any of those movies up against the last 4 he has made any day!
lmao be for real fam@@toddwarring9782
@@toddwarring9782wise up
A man needs to shut his brain down sometimes and just sit, veg out and stick his hands in his pants
Honestly a "Steven and Chris watch every Fast and Furious Movie" podcast would be excellent
"I would start with Tokyo Drift.." I would also end with Tokyo Drift.
Fast Five was fun too
Exactly
7 is good
Up till 7 i'll say
for sure myth wise tokyo drift great as bookends
"Tenet" was exactly the kind of confusing i want to see out of a time travel movie: not the kind that doesn't follow its own logic, but the kind that makes perfect sense and is too complex for me to understand
It absolutely makes sense within its own internal logic.
It's a gimmick movie. Random obscurity is as offensive as a generic popcorn movie, both are lazy storytelling.
@@moorliam one minute movies never try anything different, the next they're all just using shameless gimmicks. pick a damn lane.
I feel like in 20 years or something tenet will be appreciated as a good movie. At the time when released it was confusing.
@@stephaniehendricks3537 if it's confusing now, why wouldn't it be confusing in 20 years?!
Fawking AMAZING interview! The questions alone! Bravo!
Stephen Colbert is a treasure when it comes to interviews. Christopher Nolan running with it and showing his personality was so great to see. I guess I have to watch Tokyo Drift? Thank you!
Wonderful meaty interview with the one and only Christopher Nolan. Congrats and greetings from Spain !!
Bravo Stephen!!! The GOAT! Keep doing these comprehensive interviews! The best! 🎉🎉🎉
Did he do more of these longer ones with others?
@@ejoshcoron Barbara Streisand comes to mind.
@@ejoshcoronSteven Spielberg too I think
Heehee, making Nolan giggle is pretty great
I would absolutely love it if they watch even a single Fast and Furious movie together and they had a camera running.
Was hoping you'd get a chance to interview Nolan! Really great questions! Thanks for another awesome interview!
A Nolan produced Fast movie would be epic
Nope. No one watches Fast movies cuz they think it's art on film; they watch for video game physics & 'splosions. Nolan would never get his cred back.
Yeah, epical waste of everyone's time!
Like yeah, let's take one of the few filmakers whose actually making original non-franchise movies and stick him into the most generic CGIfest blockbuster series out there.
What's next? Are you gonna ask Tarrantino to make an Illumination movie?
7 was good . I think that's the one I saw @@gladtravis
no@@gladtravis
I feel like standing up and applauding this interview after watching it! Tremendous job, Stephen and team!
Yes let’s all have a F&F watch party with Chris Nolan and Steve Colbert!!!
This is the best interview he's ever done
"i have never seen any fast movies"
Chris:"REALLY!?"
Christopher is my all time favorite director, thank you for this special multi part interview.
Nolan directing a Fast & Furious movie would be EPIC!
I love watching Stephen work his silly spell on serious artists, getting them to laugh. That makes for the best interviews, showing us the geniuses are human.
Me when I write some random bs in my essay just to hit the word count: "you are not supposed to understand my essay, professor. You are supposed to experience it."
superbe interview with Christopher Nolan. This is one of your best efforts to keep us watching.
Wow, Chris Nolan is a Fast and the Furious fan! Never would have guessed!
Hearing Christopher Nolan talking about Fast & Furious like I talk about Fast & Furious is breaking my brain 😂
"Did I just catch Christopher Nolan not understanding something about time?" 😁
If they end up watching the Fast franchise together, they need to make it public. Livestream it, or just grab the audio. Do it for charity, I will pay for that experience. Amazing interview!
Omg. I just watched every one of the Nolan interview clips and it was riveting! I didn’t even know I was interested in him before this. Thank you, Stephen! I really hope you have your F&F marathon together! Would love to see a montage of that experience!😂
I think this is a good time for me to comment here to say that I've always enjoyed whatever interviews I watched from you. These interviews with chris nolan are also a blast to watch. Thank you for the fun questions that you asked of him.
No one can ask Nolan such questions and in this manner but Colbert
Oh man I’m whipping this clip out anytime someone tries to tell me that Tokyo Drift isn’t cinema.
Cinema on entire episode of the TV! So nice. Thank you, Stephen.
You make youtube a better place Stephen Colbert and the team! Thanks a lot for this gem
Such a brilliant interview
Tenet is the only Nolan movie that definitely needs a sequel. Show us who made the turnstile, show us about the scientist, show us how Priya knows it all, show us who is Neil and show us how did the Protagonist assemble the team and create Tenet. Finally add some classic Nolan twist. That's it, that's enough material for a sequel.
Christopher Nolan love The Fast and Furious franchise, thats Oppenheimer my mind.
I love Tokyo Drift and really appreciate Nolan giving the Fast and Furious films some shine. I also enjoy Tenet as a slick spy thriller.
I only watched the first “The Fast and The Furious” 20 years ago, but now I feel like I need to watch those movies, starting with Tokyo Drift.
i'm loving these interviews away from the theater/stage.
You should have asked him about his sound and dialogue mixing.
I demand we see the reaction video to Nolan and Colbert binge watching the Fast and Furious marathon
Tenet is such a underrated movie. One of my favorites
Nolan! A Gargantuan of Brilliance! Great Job Stephen!
Loved the interview!
Love when Stephen gets into complex interviews like this.😅
It's crazy Stephen never watched F & F movies, they are super fun, especially Tokyo Drift.
welcome to the family 💎
What a great interviewer and interviewee
Fabulous interview Stephan! ❤
Colbert keeps saying he's never seen The Fast and the Furious and Chris's voice keeps rising in pitch like his own personal Shepard tone: "Reeeally?"
Chris Nolan told me to watch Tokyo Drift... I watch Tokyo Drift
I sometimes forget how much I like Colbert
If they're adding pre-recorded laughter audio, you know their jokes are bad bad bad bad. If they're adding pre-recorded laughter audio, you know their jokes are bad bad bad bad.
Nolan's sincere concern over how Colbert hasn't seen a single Fast film is killing me
I found you need to watch Tenent at least three times before you start to understand it. And that is what makes it so brilliant. It's not just some "abstract" art project with convoluted random unconnected events that confuses you, it is an intricate plot and timeline that happens both within and beyond the movie that you really need to unravel to make sense of it. It's like a good riddle or puzzle you need to piece together.
If one has to watch a film several times to just understand what the fuck is going on then that is a terribly written movie
that's fine. I haven't seen it and I won't see it cause I don't care about male fantasy Bond movies. I have loved Nolan however. And now I do not. He says "you're not meant to understand everything". then what's the point Chris? You think you're so awesome that you want to put in things people will never understand so you can say only I understand? Oh OK. You go boy. Gawd.
@@thunderousapplausemale fantasy bond film? That’s like calling Barbie a psychological horror/thriller.
@@toddwarring9782 Nolan made himself very clear on this. If you get frustrated that you're not understanding it then you're missing the point. If you're going in with the expectation that you must be able to understand a certain amount of what's going on to enjoy it then that's on you. The primary focus of the film is to create an experience for you to feel. If you want to get more out of it, then by all means start rewatching and putting pieces together, he is not expecting anyone to do that, but if you do then guess what you will be rewarded. Is that reward necessary to enjoying the film? Nope. I'm getting tired of people saying "Welp I didn't understand it, so the writing is poor" or "This is just pretentious for the sake of being pretentious". No it's a wholly original piece of film. If you didn't like it, then that's totally fine, but don't claim it is one thing or the other unless it has been proven as a fact. You can have your opinion. Film is subjective, but don't dismiss something for being terribly written as some kind of fact.
@@thunderousapplause There's plenty of discussion out there on what Tenet is as a movie and I think Patrick H Willems has come up with the best description. It's a Vibes movie. You are watching other people doing their thing, they need to understand what they are doing, you don't. It's like watching a professional chef at work, you won't necessarily understand why they are making the choices they are making or giving the instructions they do, but you will infer a level of competence and ability from watching how others react to them without needing to understand it yourself.
Personally, I didn't find it that hard to follow myself, so different people are going to get more of less out of it on first watch, but I like that it's something that if you work at it you get more out of it. That's a hallmark of some great art. All art shouldn't be easily digestible.
Thank you Mr. Colbert. Fascinating.
This was a great interview ❤
I'm a fan of FandF but starting with Tokyo Drift is wild 😂😂
And this is why I love Nolan!
Nolan is right. Tokyo Drift is "before" some one of the movies, but not "before" all of them. It's confusing as hell.
Maybe it's the influence of seeing him moderate a panel about The Curse, but I feel like Nolan's image has lightened up these days and I'm for it
My faith and respect in Christopher Nolan has increased tenfold by the fact he highlights Tokyo Drift. Tokyo Drift is easily the best in the franchise.
You should only ever truly have faith in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
PLEASE, EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Factually there is only One God and He is YHWH the One and Only True Jehovah God and One Jesus Christ and One Holy Spirit.
I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and that God raised Him from the dead, repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart and you will be saved.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible.
TENET is cult classic
going on a talk show is the death of art
CAN YOU IMAGINE?!!!!! If they did a reaction video of their Fast and Furious marathon!
I thought he was actually joking about the F&F movies... good for him for not being a snob about them
To honour his style, I am watching these in reverse order - but may dodge to the first half of part 2 next
Please release a reaction/review podcast/video series with SC + CN going through the entire Fast and Furious catalogue as a lead up to the next one next year. I will be able to die happy if this happens in my life time.
well thats a relief
The way he doesn't want to spoil Dom showing up at the end of Tokyo Drift is so funny to me.
Thanks for the spoiler
@@21972012145525 tokyo drift came out years ago. To be spoiled on an old show, the fault lies with you
You have to interview Cillian!!! Please Please!!!!
I'm with Stephen, I've never seen The Furious movies either. But I feel like I should start at the beginning and watch through all of them.
Stephen, please go to the UK thisnsummer and do these long form interviews with Helen Mirren, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson in their neighborhoods, and do the Graham Norton Show ❤❤❤ 🇬🇧
I’ve been too intimidated to watch Tenet. Now, knowing that I’m not meant to completely understand it, and the experience just needs to be enjoyed, I can now enjoy the film.
I’m going in.
Please upload the full, uncut interview!
I thought it's April because it must be my birthday that I get so many Christopher Nolan interviews with Stephen Colbert!
F&F Marathon Live Stream! Break the Internet!
Nolan saying "linear" is funny hahaha
I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that upwards of 2 million people just got 94% less embarrassed to be a F&F fan. Nolan doin the lord’s work yet again.
Intelligent interview! Great!
Never seen any Fast and Furious movies but I would binge the entire franchise if Christopher Nolan watches em with me
Yeah the classic “I didn’t think it through but it’s supposed to make no sense”! Brilliant!
Never would I have thought Fast and Furious and Nolan in the same sentence. The most ambiguous Fast and Furious is in the works boys
