It’s like wanting to unpack your gifts before Christmas
Where was the problem? In the interview, Nolan explains that he regretted reading the script before he saw the film:
I read the script for “Pulp Fiction” before I saw the film and I always regretted it. I am a big “reservoir dogs” fan, I was very excited [Quentin Tarantinos] next film. Reading the script was not the same as the film. And then to see the film after reading the script was not the same as the film. It’s like wanting to unpack your gifts before Christmas, and when you do it, you regret it.
Christopher Nolan about his experience with pulp fiction
He continues that Pulp Fiction is an unusual film and that it is also difficult with a trailer to describe the film. It is an original concept that did not exist before. By reading the script, he could no longer experience the film fresh.
What does the script show? In many cases, screenplays not only simply show the dialogues and the story of a film. There are also technical aspects such as light or settings that can certainly take the spell some scenes.
Especially with a film like Pulp Fiction, in which the actors transport so much energy and their own character into the characters, reading the script can anticipate or even ruin.
According to Memento, Christopher Nolan celebrated many other successes, including Interstellar, The Dark Knight and finally Oppenheimer. His next project is The Odyssey, which is the adaptation of the Greek legend of Homer. When the film will appear is still unclear.
