If you asked someone to guess what director Christopher Nolan's favorite movie was, most people would guess it was something serious, maybe a movie that plays around in a unique way, provocative way. And of course, when Nolan was asked about his favorite films in A. 2023 interviewHe mentioned the renowned works of director Stanley Kubrick. "2001: Especially Space Odyssey" made the top of his lista fact that should not surprise any 'amongststers' fans there.

But Nolan's more suspicious shout was in the movie "Taladega Nights in 2006: Ricky Bobby's ballad." It is a movie for a racer driver played by Will Ferrell who learns to be small less than a selfish egomaniac. It is a far desirable story than everything Nolan himself would ever want to direct, but whenever Nolan catches him on TV, he knows he will have to stick to it to the end.

"" Taladega Nights ", I will never be able to turn on that," Nolan said. Quoting the famous repeated line, he added: "If you are not the first, last you are."

Nolan's Love to Taladega Nights certainly doesn't look much for him. Nolan is a British director known for being A. a little too cold and seriouslyWhile "Taladega Nights" is an aggressive American film that is so stupid at times that viewers can barely believe what they see. It's a movie where Ricky Bobby tries to get his racing running on his car blinded by a residential street, just to crash his car directly into someone's house. .

Perhaps what Nolan appreciates the most is how thick a movie "Taladega Nights". It is difficult to believe that there is only a duration of 108 minutes, because at the top of the main parcel, there are so many dragged panties, so many varnishes of character going beyond Ricky Bobby. Some moments are funny not only because they are absurd, but because they are suspicious well written; The context of the great monologue of Amy Adams' character may be silly, but the command of the language he wrote is undeniable strong, and Adams delivers all the work as if he plans to get an Oscar. Nolan wants a big swing, and "Taladega Nights" is full of them:

There is also the fact that Ricky Bobby is precisely the kind of tragic, tortured figure on which Nolan tends to gravitate. The poor man reaches the height of the sport to which he dedicated his life, only to be encouraged by that world and to throw away. Ricky Bobby is, in many ways, Robert J. Oppenheimer to the world of NASCAR. The two may have been in different fields, but I'm sure they both could refer to each other vigilant life stories.
