That's irrelevant. The Nolan did not compose the score. Zimmer did.

Rodriquez does his own scores and pretty much everything else too

I didn't say kept separate, but most directors don't have a say in the actual COMPOSITION of the score, just it's application after the film is complete.

If the director had a say in the actual creation of the music then they would be quite capable of scoring the films themselves. However, as it stands, the director generally decides on the application of the music, with the score being written by the composer having been inspired by the film. The director clearly has a final say in where it's been used in the movie.

This particular instance, Nolan wouldn't have said to Zimmer "I want you to write a song...WITHIN A SONG." I can't imagine any director saying that.

A good example of a director taking control of the score, though, is pretty much evident in all Wes Anderson movies. He's such an auteur that he usually picks the soundtrack and applies it to the film himself, hardly ever relying on a score of sorts.

OK, it's just you've gone from saying the directory has 'sod all' to do with the score, to what you just posted above. It was the initial statement I disagreed with.

The director does have sod all to do with it. The OP posted the tracking saying Nolan is a genius. He is a genius, but he didn't have anything to do with that track. He didn't write it or compose it. That's the point I've been making all along...
