Inception

[mk 11]

here's an interesting take and one of i'm sure many theories that will make sense to different peopleps contains hella spoilers so don't read if you haven't seen it

for a good laugh, read that amazing filmic idiot rex reed's review. the comments are pretty hilarious too.

Wow.

Is it clear that I have consistently hated his movies without exception, and I have yet to see one of them that makes one lick of sense. It's difficult to believe he didn't also write, direct and produce the unthinkable Synecdoche, New York. But as usual, like bottom feeder Charlie Kaufman, Mr. Nolan's reputation as an arrogant maverick draws a first-rate cast of players, none of whom have an inkling of what they're doing or what this movie is about in the first place, and all of whom have been seen to better advantage elsewhere.

Charlie Kaufman "bottom feeder"?

Wow.Charlie Kaufman "bottom feeder"?

i'm assuming that was a joke. the article, not your post.

Given the context, I really don't think so (but just imo of course).

[Swift_Psycho 1]

Just saw it. Really good, as expected.

Movies like this always leave a few questions about whether this or that makes sense or is consistent, but you can probably find a variety of ways to address those concerns in this type of movie. I imagine that re-watching this on DVD a couple times will answer most random questions I have anyway, and any remaining questions I might still have probably were left intentionally unclear so that the viewer could theorize about stuff on his own. So that's that I guess.

Wow I want rex reed dead. Also the best action movie I've seen since the original matrix

I guess I just didnt want to believe that anyone could be so wrong.

[BigDMcGee 3,352]

unless you count children of men as an action movie, which I don't

Just seen this last night, pretty drunk and high, and I hate to be the lone hater, but I didn't like this movie one bit. Some good ideas and shit but its not comparable to the entertainment factor that the first "Matrix" had..... Leonardo Dicrapio needs to start branching out, every movie he's in lately, he's just like dumb-founded and intensely pissed off in every scene(Shutter Island, The Departed, THIS). He's gotta play a drug-addict soon before I lose complete acting respect for the guy...

The knowledge that someone so monumentally stupid/douchey could be given one of the greatest jobs in the world is almost more than I can bear as I review documents all day.

seriously though, calling charlie kaufman a bottom feeder should be a capital offense.

I'm glad I am not the only one who thought Dark City was amazing.Still, there is a different between thoughtful criticism and what the douche-clown in BigD's link wrote.

NO SPOILERS, PROMISEI saw Inception last night. I like to go into movies completely cold - the less I know about them the better. In this case I knew it was directed by Nolan and starred Leo, that's it. I suspected I was going to love the movie once we got about 5 minutes in, because it was explaining itself wonderfully without narration or explicit exposition. By the end, I was still smiling ear to ear; even though I knew how it was going to end, I loved watching it happen. I really think this was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Visually it was outstanding. Logically it was fantastic (one smallish quibble about the van but otherwise it all makes great sense from multiple perspectives). Pacing was perfect - 2.5 hrs went by in about 20 minutes as far as I was concerned (and that's TOTALLY a metaphor for the movie imo). And the acting was strong across the board (the weakest performance was still better than the strongest in many movies). It all came together so well that I was delighted. I was laughing in delight as the credits rolled and applauded for the first time in years at the movies. I was delighted in a way that I can really only remember having been after some Pixar movies. This is not a simple movie, but it's not overly confusing either. It just doesn't shy away from presenting you with a detailed and complex storyline, a complicated world that you need to think about and pay attention to in order to understand. And the more you put into understanding it, the more you get out.Just a great, great movie.

Either this movie had the best last 1/3 of a movie ever or I'm completely retarded bc I didn't make it that far. I remember it being completely uninteresting but always hear about how good it was.

Really?I don't understand how that's possible.

i believe i DID say that i could be completely retarded

[Poppy_Hillis 11]

Overrated. Didn't draw me in emotionally. Did not care about any character, which is a yuuuuge drawback. Could not have been more indifferent as to how it was going to end. Definitely interesting, however.

[mk 11]

I keep thinking about Joseph Gordon-Levitt flying around in the hotel level, tying everyone up, fighting projections, rigging the elevator, etc., and it makes me shake my head in disbelief at how unbelievably fucking awesome the last half of this movie was. Y like Senor JLL, even in parts where I knew what I was about to see, I was still motherfucking THRILLED to watch it actually unfold on screen. I can't wait to see this again.

This.Children of Men is an outstanding movie. So many really powerful scenes. the scene where

they walk down the stairs with the crying baby and the whole war litereally comes to a stand still

is one of my favourite scenes of all time.

That scene and two others were literally jaw dropping to me. They at the time appeared to be one shot, and I thought it was the most spectacular thing I'd ever seen in movie making. Then I did some research, and they just appear to be one shot/no cut. They actually were several different shots, but edited digitally to look like a continuous shot, which I think is almost cooler. The effect is just magnificent.

I am also a big Children of Men fan. Remember seeing it the first time and loving it.
