Christopher Nolan never ceases to leave his audiences amused. Be it through the absolutely jaw-dropping masterpieces he creates for the big screens or simply the way he prefers to spend his life (which notably includes‘without a smartphone’), the mastermind filmmaker somehow manages to leave his fans surprised down to the core in the most unimaginable of ways.
Recently, following the release of the Emma Stone-starrer critically acclaimed seriesThe Curse, Nolan did the same. However this time, he didn’t stun and leave his fans confused and unable to believe it through some strange tactic. Instead, this time, it was simply through his reaction to the finale of the 2023 series, which he seems to havetextedshowrunner Benny Safdie about!

Warning: Major Spoilers forThe CurseFinale Episode Ahead!
The CurseFinale Had Even Christopher Nolan Shell-Shocked
First of all, before starting, we would once again ask for readers to continue at their own risk because the upcoming few verses of this article are going to hold some serious spoilers of the series finale of theEmma Stone-starrer 2023 comedy drama.
Second,The Curselead crew actually nailed it with the stunt scenes for the finale episode. While Stone practically killed it while beingstrappedto the ceiling,upside down, with herheadgettingdragged back(feel the intensity of it all yet?),Nathan Fieldertook it even further.

Fielder was actually stuck up there to the point where his face turned purple. In fact,even the stunt guy claimedhe couldn’t be up there for more than 4 minutes otherwise he’d pass out because of the blood rushing to his head. But Fielder defied it all and stayed up there for7 minutes.
As surprising as it may seem to you, it was equally surprising toChristopher Nolan, if not more. This is because, after watching that entire dark and absolutely crazily perfect series, the director seems to haveliterally textedBenny Safdie about how they managed to do it.

According to what Fielder shared in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter:
“One of the best things was when Benny [Safdie] said that Christopher Nolan texted him and was like, ‘How did you guys do that?’”
An ending that left even the great Nolan stunned? Sounds unbelievable, no? But what fans are finding even harder to believe than this ending or Nolan’s reaction is the fact that the filmmaker actuallytextedBenny Safdiefor that!
And Now, Christopher Nolan Has Fans Shell-Shocked With This Revelation
While the lead cast’s performance for the end of the series and Nolan’s reaction to it has fans already amazed, what they just can’t seem to understand is how the director ended uptextingSafdie about it whenhe doesn’t even possess a smartphone.
For those who may be unversed,The Dark Knighthelmer once revealed during an interview withThe Hollywood Reporterhow he neither uses email to communicate with people nor does he“carry a smartphone.”In fact, he even types down his scripts without an active internet connection!
