@robdwillis: Christopher Nolan gave Gary Oldman four words and fixed the whole scene Gary Oldman, on working with Christopher Nolan across the Batman films. In seven years, Nolan gave him maybe two notes. One of them was this: "There's more at stake." No backstory. No breakdown of the scene. Just the nudge. And Oldman says it was fantastic direction. In this breakdown, we look at why the best feedback is often the least precise, and what you take away from people when you over-direct. What's the shortest piece of feedback that ever changed how you worked? 🎙️ Chief Story Officer #leadership #christophernolan #garyoldman

Love Nolan, Tarantino and Eastwood style, they let the actors act, they don't micromanage the scene.

Also he utilised the language of actors. We use ‘stakes’ on the regular (some film directors don’t understand this)

I just use different verbs. Nothing more. Because that’s all they need at times.
