Inception

The bit where he runs down an alley and gets stuck.

Fucking love this movie, it's unironically one of my favorites. Quite layered, despite what anti Nolan fags will tell you. I liked how it was, among other things, an allegory for filmmaking - planting an idea in someone's head and trying to make them believe it.

I like the theory that Cobb's totem is actually his wedding ring. It fits quite well, as it appears and disappears in several scenes when he's dreaming and awake. He states that the top was his wife's totem, and he tells Juno that no one should know what your totem is, so they can't incorporate it into a dream to trick you.

The effects were fantastic, since Nolan believes in minimal cgi. The rotating hallway fight was filmed in an actual rotating hallway set, built and rigged to spin as the actors fought.

Great movie, I saw it three times in theatres, but haven't watched it since. I want to keep it fresh and not over saturate myself with it.

>inb4 memes and anti-Nolans call us pleb faggots

overrated below average movie with great effects

Regarding the end, the token starta to wobble, and I believe Nolan himself has stated that, as a father, he likes to believe it topples and that he's in the real world.

>>85485552
Nice post man. I pretty much feel the same.

>>85485660

That's not Leo's totem so it means fuck all anyway.

I was actually thinking when I saw that
"Holy shit, knowing nolan they built a rotating set." while too many others would make that into a CGI fest.

Kinda hope that sometime there is a special showing that I can watch, as I never saw it in the theatres.

Yes it is. Your head-canon and fan theory doesn't make it true.

The spinning top is used while he's alone to verify reality status. Nolan chose to leave you guessing; Nolan states that the ending cutting before you see the token's actions shows that Cobb doesn't care about "reality" any more, and that its a comment about the subjective nature of dreams and reality.

So why would he have secretly made the wedding ring his Token?

You're fucking cancer to the film community and should stick to posting on Star Trek fan forums so you can autistically obsess over things there.

Honest opinion here. The story and writing feels like someone thought it was genuinely deep and thoughtful when they just string together a few buzzwords to sound smart. As an action movie I didn't expect it to be more but it really isn't a film for smart people.

>>85486520
>Yes it is. Your head-canon and fan theory doesn't make it true.

The top was his wife's totem. Headbutt a speeding bus, you low IQ cunt.

>>85485342
It's all a dream m8. The whole movie is him stuck in moll's dream inside of his dream. There's an abundance of clues demonstrating that throughout the entire film.

>>85485342
Protip: it doesn’t matter was it a dream or not
Tell me what changes if you know if everything was a dream or not? What knowledge do you get out of that fact?

You people care only about the simple narrative and plot point closures.
In the final scene Cobb spins the totem but he doesn't even look at it because he doesn't care, he just wants to be with his kids no matter is it real or not.
It's always the same unimportant questions, "who is the shooter" in The Hunt, "who sent the tapes" in Cache, "was it waterboarding or rape" in Sicario etc. If you asked any director these kind of questions they would be disappointed.

Movies aren't puzzles which you have to put together in a certain kind of way to "get" them, that would be pretty shallow. Focus on why is something shown in that way rather than what it is.

>>85485660
But it doesn't topple and the kids tell him to come look at the house they are building on a cliff...the house from the opening scene. Cobb is trapped in a dream even at the end of the film.

It's good

Wait has the dust settled yet? Anyone? I'm only going to post in this thread if the dust has settled.

>>85486536
While the surface plot is a simple story told in a semi-complex way, I will give credit to the movie for this.

>It works as a action film
>It works as a heist film
>it works as a family drama (Both with cobb and Fischer)
>It works as a ode to filmmaking
>It works as a philosophical movie about the nature of knowledge with Neo-Platonist and other concepts.

Obviously all of it is in the dream state. Mal was right. Inception doesn't exist.

IT DOESN’T MATTER WAS IT REAL OR A DREAM

>>85486836
Also, the top is a red herring in terms of clues. It's the one thing that irks me about the film. According to cobb himself the top is moll's totem so it makes no sense that he tries to use it. Whether or not it falls during the film means nothing in terms of cobb's reality.

>>85486935
Strong arguments can be made that it is

>All a dream
>that everything after being put under in Mombasa is a dream
>He went into dream on the flight and woke up and is really with his family.

Also, for Cobb at least, it doesn't matter, he had the Catharsis of getting over Mal's death and be with his kids and be a dad. Might be a dream or might be reality, but he decided that were he wanted to be.

Basically the movie ripped off that justice league episode years ago where doomsday puts the alien plant on Superman's face and he has to erase his parents and future son to get back to reality from a dream.

Here a good laugh since it a inception thread.

You could just watch Paprika instead and get a much better and more creative film.

>>85487542
Weird you got baited by my clearly non serious post. I felt like this movie was shutter island two and dicaprio overacts and ruins the movie as usual.

>>85487575
Sorry, bad mood, no worries anon.

And yes, It is much like Shutter Island. I will say that Marion Cotillard does a good job with a thankless role of Mal and she looks stunning in it.

Also, I am always nicely surprised on how much money it made. For a non-reboot/sequel that not based on a novel/comic book, it what? Third for live action?

>"Holy shit, knowing nolan they built a rotating set." while too many others would make that into a CGI fest.

It's actually pretty sad, while I don't like most of Nolan's newer stuff, he's one of the few big movie directors I can think of that will actually utilize a large amount of practical effects. I don't mean to shame special effects, because even Nolan does use them, but not many people who get large budgets nowadays seem willing to put some work into making sure the scenes look polished, instead opting to just have some people on computers do everything in post and it ends up looking like some goofy cartoon.

>>85487906
It is.

Also since he willing to do that and not farm out the CGI a lot of times it cheaper then the CGI fests.

>incepts wife to convince her to leave the dream
>doesn't just remove the idea of waking up post-fact in another dream

>>85486799
You post the same fucking thing in every thread where Nolan comes up, except it's written differently every time so it doesn't even have pasta status to recommend it.
No one ever gives (you) because it's not nearly as intelligent or insightful as you think it is

>>85485342
>YFW you realize it was all set up by the grandfather to figure out why his daughter died, and that Ariadne was a extractor and that why she tagged along to limbo to figure out what happened with Mal.

Sounds like you've already made up your mind about it and are looking for people to echo your opinion. Might I suggest a site that is more tailored to your needs?

This. Better film overall and Nolan shamelessly ripped entire scenes from it anyway

I think it's an entertaining movie, but I think Nolan fucked up the concept of the kicks. Every time they're in a dream, the kick comes from above. That's why the music is played--to warn the subject that they're about to be kicked. However, this is changed at the end. Everyone has to have a kick both in their present dream level and in the one(s) above. So the people have to kick themselves during Snow Level by blowing up the building. This would be fine if they were waking the people in limbo, but limbo is escaped by killing yourself. And the people in Snow Level should've been awoken by the elevator crash. If you can point out where kicks are used in the present dream level anytime before the ending, I'll eat my keyboard.

>>85489799
No keyboarding eating required, but if I recall correctly when using the sedative version you have to have a kick in both the lower and upper level at the same time.

Thus for example, when the van hits the bridge, since both Author and the dreamers in the James bond type dream do not kick at the same time, everyone remains sedated and in dreams.

Thus they have to time the kicks with the van hitting the water.

Limbo is "you die you go all the way up" but it so real that is like committing suicide.
