- With The Revenant coming out this weekend it only made sense to Win Inception, the last time Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hardy shared the screen together. Maybe this is the theory to end all Inception theories? Not everyone loves this movie, so here's why they're wrong. Everything Great About Inception.

Winception?
*Inception BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA plays in the background.*
The technical term is a *BRAAAAM*
1.1k likes but only two comments. Also, I got two back to back advertisments.
*ding*
Ah yes, one of Christopher Nolan’s best films, along with winterstellar.
Your theory is absolutely fantastic... but... theres one that holds a huge amount of weight to consider, and you almost touched on it. and its very simple.
The spinning top is meaningless.
The spinning top was his WIFES piece. not HIS. only she could use it, he could not.
Wanna know what his piece was? His wedding ring.
He only wears a wedding ring when in a dream. Only ever. and he constantly spins it on his finger. Its on him in the dreams because in his own mind he is still married to his wife, because he cant let go. But in the real world, he's never wearing a wedding ring.
In the final scene, he's not wearing a wedding ring. So the final scene is true and real. He's really home. The film distracts you by the spinning top, making you ask a question that its already answered.
This... actually makes sense
either that or they just missed that detail
Or another theory is Cobb's totem is his children. His children wont look at him in dream but in reality they will.
WhitePadi no
Or Mal is his token
Then why would he spin Mal's totem in the first place? And he's clearly frantically trying to get a reality check when he spins it, meaning that is the purpose of the totem.
He only wears the ring in the dreams because that's only where he sees Mal.
inception is 2:28 AND THE SONG IS TOO??
Nolan u magnificent bastard
I freaking fell off my chair
bro. there's a lot more things you don't know about this movie :D
0mimiq0 You only think you fell out of your chair. you're actually asleep in the warehouse right now...
mindblown!
Keep in mind, nolan spent 10 years on the screenplay for this movie. This movie has been in his mind for many, many years. The man is a genius
Inception is hands down my personal favorite movie ever. And you explained it perfectly at the end about what Nolan (my favorite director) does in a masterpiece like this to really capture the imagination and creativity of the audience to come up with solutions. Amazing film
+Ale Balmaceda Thanks! Glad I could do you favorite movie justice.
+CinemaWins he's not the only one. This movie has always captured the essence of what reality is perceived to be. Real is what we make it. Kinda A positive influence too. And this move explains in self so perfectly too. Nothing feels overly forced, like one mind working at once.
Ale It's also tied for my favorite film.
favorite movie too
@@TheZBUCKNER may you share what it is tied with :) ?
Tom hardy in anything is a win.
Cillian Murphy too
Absolutely correct! Because venom sucks, but he still tried hard. He alone trying to make the movie good, is a good thing. Because that movie was shit. But Tom hardy as an excellent career. The revenant, Bronson, locke , warrior, dark night rises, mad max fury road, the recent Capone and this masterpiece
Indeed Darling
SCHWARZENEGGER don’t forget peaky blinders
Except Capone
What? No mention about Arthur's "Paradox" scene when he's fighting in the hotel? I freaking lost my mind at that moment
they mentioned it in the Sins video.
+XxCHRISchaosxX Only a little bit and that was to sin it for the bad guys aim
2:42
+Cookies & Meme Not that part. It's the part with the staircase

Don't bring that devils relegion here
@@strangerui4009 Asshole.

Damn, they thought about all details! What a great movie.
Thank you for acknowledging that Cillian Murphy is always a win, he's such a phenomenal actor
Cillian Murphy has been a win since 28 days later (and batman begins, and sunshine)
***** Yes!
hes good in Red Lights too, imo
Peaky Blinders
Eyy I just watched a couple of your vids, you should make more! Think you'll consider it?
cillian murphy's scarecrow should have been the main villain of the first film imo, the dark knight was about chaos, so they had the joker, rises was about pain, so they had bane, so why in begins, a film about fear, is scarecrow not the main villain??? especially with the great performance of murphy...
For the hallway fight scene you should have mentioned the facts: It took them so long to build the rig, they used no cgi, it took the actors some time to practice, and finally that entire scene did not include the main character in it! It should have been at LEAST 10 wins with all that and considering the score!
I am so happy you awarded the score of Time (the end score when Cobb reunites with his children). It is my FAVOURITE score of all time!!!! Hans Zimmer is an amazing composer! and I listen to it repeatedly, it's so intensely simple because it's the same chords throughout but, like you said, the crescendo is what makes it emotional and thrilling
That's the score I feel eternally should play in earth as Stay from Interstellar is played in space endlessly
“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.”
Tom Hardy in this movie was just him being himself.
You know, this theory might also explain why the bad guys had such horrible aim.
My theory for that is that the projections actually have great aim, but the team used their control over the dream to curve the bullets. Saito still got shot because he isn't experienced in dream navigation. He doesn't have militarized projections, he doesn't understand limbo, and he doesn't fill in a spot on the team, other than physical backup.
My theory is that the projections got training in the same place as stormtroopers
+No one Here So they're wearing helmets that don't allow them to see very well, AND they're letting the protagonists go in order to track them?
That’s movie and tv logic. MC doesn’t get shot until they need to move the plot somewhere
You mean "storm trooper aim" eh?
I just discovered this channel today and I've got to say, it's very refreshing to see the other side of the TH-cam coin when it comes to movie reviews. I do have to say, with this review, your theory about the movie is something that I had never thought of, and makes a whole lot of sense.
hey you called it Leo finally got his oscar
The deathbed scene is a masterpice, I have not expected the inception could be so touching, great performing from Murphy
Every theory about the end is almost irrelevant. The end is about it not mattering wether he is in a dream or not, it's that Cobb is happy where he is with his children and his family.
I agree to a point but I think it's also the theorizing even without confirmation or disproving of said theories that is what's enjoyable to so many viewers.
+Erica Mills what I'm trying to say is whether he is in a dream or not he finally feels happy and was reunited with what's left of his family
K den
I see. Thank you for the clarification. I agree, regardless of how, Cobb gets his happy ending and that made me so glad.
yea but if he's dreaming it's kind of worthless since his real kids are left without parents.
Think about it this way. Even if Cobb FEELS like he's stuck in a dream for 10 or 50 years, or forever, in truth its only a few short hours. For his kids in the real world, for them their dad will wake up in a matter of hours. It's only a tragedy for Cobb if it's all a dream because for HIM it'll feel like forever. But at the end, it's true that it doesn't matter if he's awake or not, because when he spun the totem, instead of anxiously waiting for it to fall, he just left it there, and forgot about it, proving that he was happy where he was.
I think Mal’s totem works for Dom because as Mal says, they were both one halves of a whole person. Dom can use her totem after her death because of their bond but Dom’s totem is his wedding ring. That’s why he doesn’t wear it outside the dream. The other totems are symbolic too. Arthur’s is loaded die. He is usually in control with Dom and thus gives the people in the dreams the illusion of a fair chance when that’s a lie. Ariadne’s is a pawn, which is often seen as a frail chess piece but is the only chess piece that can resurrect dead pieces when it reaches the end of the board (she saves Fischer).
I think I found a new obsession. I watched Almost All Cinema Sins.... Now I can watch all the WINS!
We're nicer over here =P, better to enjoy something than to not enjoy it.
@@Gguyrules totally agree. There are plenty of channels that are roasting movies but a few that have positive approach.
CinemaWins is so much better, after all - I'd rather enjoy something than listen to somebody poop all over it, any day. ^_^
"I'm disappointed you tried." always gives me chills.
"[...]Remember, killing yourself only sends you one level up. We find “old” Saito and Cobb about to shoot themselves to escape limbo. If they did, then that means they would go back to the snow fortress. But wait, that was Fisher’s dream and Fischer received the “kick” already. If they went back a level up, that means there is nothing there. That means that the first person to die, Saito, would fill that dream with his subconscious, leading to the ending scene where Cobb supposedly reunites with his children.
How am I sure? Saito says that he always wanted a “house on a cliff.” In limbo, he is an old man living in a house on a cliff. At the very end when Cobb spins the totem and greets his kids, they say that they have just built a “house on a cliff.” This points to the whole thing taking place within Saito’s subconscious.[...]"
Joriel woahhhhhhh
Interesting 🤔
Dammnn. So you saying because of the guilt Saito had that he would never be able to “honor” their agreement, he created the world so that Cobbs could still get home. That.... is amazing.
Well what if Saito is just the product of Cobbs subconscious anyways....?
@@TheIritify do it’s just one big loop?
Your theory is... actually pretty great. I've already heard many theorys, but it's the first time I hear this one. Still hope it's not a dream at all, though, altough it doesn't seem very probable. And... yeah, your explanation is actually quite convincing. I only disagree with the fact that it doesn't matter whether if it's a dream. First: If it's not real, it just isn't. That's it. And, besides: If the totem did NOT fall down, then don't you think Cobb will SEE it still spinning when he comes back inside? He's not going to spend the rest of his life out there.
Good point!
Agreed. Yes, that theory does make some sense, and yes, half of me only wants the whole thing to be real for Arthur and Ariadne's ship to sail but if the whole thing was just a dream, totems would literally have no worth as Cobb's totem still fell down in "reality". Point is, Cobb no longer cares if he was still dreaming or in reality because he's finally with his kids again. Nolan said it himself.
Ashley Xu As I said above: If it's a dream, Cobb's happiness will be short-lived, as he'll find the totem still spinning.
right, just
oh wait ur right lmao
we meet again, i've seen you around tsfh comments
Love this channel because you are so positive with movies, its just my style *o* Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
There's one thing I have a problem with: Some of your tallies (including other videos) would constitute a sin in the main channel. "Saito-ex-machina, for example). Your thoughts on this?
Also, great work. This is feeling less like a CinemaSins knockoff thanks to the bits in some videos that show things people missed. Man of Steel is a great example of this. Keep it up!
That's because things can be a technical crutch, but really cool at the same time.
The world is not built in black and white, but many, many shades. Not even just of grey.
10 years after and still, nothing came close.
well, now there's Tenet ;)
Inception - Best film ever created, hands down.
u havent really seen many films, have ya.
I mean, have you watched Interstellar?
Interstellar isn't nowhere near Inception! the plot is the main point of Nolan films because audio & visual are always perfect... and interstellar's plot kinda sucked
1) TDK 2) Inception 3) TDKR 4)BB 5) Interstellar 5) Prestige, Dunkirk, Momento etc
@@MHWGamer Yep. Interstellar is nowhere near but instead, far better than inception. It took the sci-fi game to another level and made movies like Gravity look bad. The base plot, however, in both the films are the same i.e., trying to get back to their children. But the way the father-daughter relationship is portrayed in Interstellar is just flawless. After a few years, people will definitely look back at Interstellar for not ignoring sound science and for the out of the box imagination of what black holes can be. In the movie, they employed scientific considerations and ideas from Kip Thorne who later received a Nobel prize (for physics if I'm not wrong).
Raghavendra Ravi the movie has so many physic flaws that I would hope that he din't get a physic noble prize haha.
2001 is the movie you described... interstellar ist more like a ripoff in this perspective.
Idk if you have any knowledge of (space) physics, but it is impossible to ignore the flaws... and the last 20 mimutes or so are story-wise garbage to be honest (that said from a nolan hardcore fan). And the father daughter relationship is the best?? after years (60+)for Morph, she sees his father less than 5 minutes and then he goes away like wtf.
It's interesting to see that so many casual people like the film so much (i love it too for the audio and visual part) but the story isn't great like the inception story - if you don't think like that idk learn somwthing about a more layer story or so. I think the casual people habe no idea about space and "see" a black hole for the first time
p.s little hint about logic errors: they need a huge rocket to go to space, ok, but to start from the water planet with x times gravity, they can just take off or fly away from the massive black hole?? also the time difference between the surface of the blue planet and the "space station" are huge... they couldn't even walk on it if the gravity is correctly mached to cause this time difference ;)
Me: reads the title
Also me: other than it’s existence?
Exactlyyyyyyyyy
he was really good in inception but no, cillian murphy got that "always a win" with sunshine. spectacular film..
Fact.
oh, he replied!
got subbed just yesterday and i believe just watched all of your videos. a battlestar galactica loving star wars geek with great optimism that every other youtube creator lacks? You're my new hero. you will exceed all of your subscription marks in no time, i know it.
keep up the good work man, great channel.
Speaking of Nolan, could you do the Dark Knight? I love that movie.
I love that movie. So different than the typical 'the world is ending and every single one of us is going to die' sci-fi ending that I'm used to.
"In the bleak midwnter..."
You can thank Hans Zimmer for the beautiful score, he's my favorite composer and he's done lots of amazing scores. Some other examples besides Inception are Interstellar, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Thin Red Line, Black Hawk Down, and the Lion King. Funny that a synth players form the 70's became such an amazing Movie Composer.
People are forgetting one huge argument about the film. I believe that in the end, Cobb is awake and everything that is happening is real. Why? Well first of all, the previous arguments are all very convincing, but also, there's the matter that Nolan has a recurring theme in his films. They're left somewhat unconfirmed and open to interpretation, however they hint at a happier ending. In The Dark Knight Rises, (Spoiler Alert), Batman flies the nuke over the ocean and we think we see him getting blown up with it. However in the end, we see him in Italy with Catwoman, although this may just be part of Alfred's imagination. However it is almost confirmed that Bruce is alive due to his fixing the auto pilot in The Bat, thus implying that he could have ejected well before the bomb went off. However the counter argument could be made that the autopilot was fixed, yet Bruce allowed himself to die anyway, as earlier in the film Alfred was afraid that Bruce would "want to fail".
In Interstellar, once again there is a somewhat foggy ending however it is mostly happy and positive, just like in Inception. It just wouldn't fit Nolan's personality and film making style to have the ending to Inception be so tragic and disturbing. Although it is ambiguous, I think Nolan believes in happy endings, and thus allows Cobb to have one himself.
Mementos ending tho
tsuyoi_hikari tru that makes sense I guess u guys r right
You are right but I just have a small comment to make in relation to what you said about Nolan's 'happy endings'. I believe that Nolan is too deep a director to be creating 'happy' and 'sad' endings. Rather, his endings regardless of the movie (Memento, TDK, Interstellar etc.) simply raise a profound question to us as the audience (and not just a shallow one that questions audiences into whether the ending is real or not). The beauty lies in the fact that he isn't trying to indoctrinate us with an idea or to convince us that something is definite/indefinite. Case in point, in Interstellar, the ultimate question that Nolan gives to the audience is, 'What actually is time?' Each of his films are deeply grounded in philosophical viewpoints and the 'endings' pave the way for legitimate questions we as humans have to ask ourselves.
Except those films were written mainly by Jonathan Nolan.
Inception was the first film with Christopher Nolan as the sole writer since Memento, and therefore should probably be compared to that. And I've not seen Memento, but judging by what the other guy said, it doesn't have a happy ending.
2:50 oh it's more amazing than you think. It was filmed with practical effects; Nolan got built a rotating room that ate up a big part of the budget. They spent 3 weeks filming it and it's not even a big part of the movie. The fact that Nolan uses film and practical effects over 3D and CGI deserves at least 100 wins, as there aren't many directors who still do that
Inception is a great movie. One of Nolan's best I believe. Another great video, that was also an interesting theory.
This was also the movie that put Tom Hardy on my radar. If I end up in the Inception, I want to be like him, the guy who isn't afraid to dream of a bigger gun. haha
0:58 So after Bruce "Died" Alfred went on to be a proffesor. I buy it.
not to mention Bane and Robin teaming up to perform an inception on the Scarecrow but having to deal with Talia al Ghul's interference
+92brunod not to mention ras al guhls stand in is paying thrm to preform the inception
Then he decided to go incognito, change his last name to Brand, and make Interstellar happen.
TDKR ends in Paris too. :)
These replies are gold.
Everything great about Inception?
EVERYTHING!!!! It is one of my favorite films of all time.
I know this is very late, but I'm pretty sure most people missed the point on the totems. Towards the end it is revealed that Cobb performed inception Mal by spinning her totem in Limbo, leading to her death in the real world. The reason you keep your totem secret is so you don't meet the same fate. Mal created the totems to know what is real, Cobb created the rule that no one can know how it works, so you don't accidentally hurt those you care about.
My theory is that they're actually performing the Inception on Saito. The point of performing it is because Saito has the ability to clear the charges, which isn't unheard of for someone with that much power. Everyone, including Fisher, are all part of Cobb's team. He put them together basically saying, "How would you like a challenge? I want to perform inception so I can go home. Then, the best thing is the mark will pay you for it." They then just joined in on the dream at the appropriate times.
Everything Cobb explains to Saito, Ariadne, "Fisher", and, by extension, we the audience, is performed on Saito. It begins with Mr. Charles. It's easy to miss because Mr. Charles is explained much later in the film, but Cobb exposes himself to Saito. Then, as Saito believes he has the upper hand, he, in a way, convinces Saito that he's an ally. This turns Saito against his own projections. If you remember, at the beginning of the movie, in the dream, and "outside" it, Saito always had a squad accompanying him. Those were his projections. Someone as clever and as careful as he is wouldn't just suddenly leave them behind. You can't feel unsafe in your own country, but feel safe enough to not travel the world without your bodyguards. The second he turns against his projections, Saito loses his "style" and the demeanor of this all powerful guy. He's no longer in limos, showing up in helicopters and all that. He's appearing in a taxi.
They are, for the first level, inside Cobb's head, and that's the reason he can never go under. Mal, his kids and the train? That may all *seem* like Cobb's subconscious leaking through, and his projections, but, in actuality, it's a ploy, much like the numbers they pried from "Fisher's" mind and the guy that was like an uncle to him. That idea stuck. That proved the inception was catching on. Saito was being shown how important Cobb's family was to him, and a sense of loyalty on a whole. Through "Fisher", and the opening dream, we also were also shown how, even if they're not directly interacting with you, they can still perform actions in your dream that influences the thought process and inception. So Cobb and crew were constantly putting on these shows to further relations with Saito, much in the same way they did with "Fisher" in trying to earn his trust, destroy his trust in his uncle, and restore faith in his father.
You add on how simple the concept must be for the inception to take place, and it really starts coming together. For Mal, he spun the top. So she always believed she needed to wake up. For "Fisher", it was basically, you shouldn't believe in anyone other than yourself and strive to be yourself. He did this by simply putting a paper pinwheel in the safe. For Saito? They stressed the importance of bonds. Mal and the children represented that, and, once it began to stick more and more, Saito's projections became more and more lax, because he'd started to side with them. The Mr. Charles gambit paid off. Then, he was sent to limbo. That in itself is the inception. He was in limbo. He had time to become an old man, believing he'd been forgotten, left behind by everyone, be angry about it, come to terms with it, forgive it, then try to move on. He was old and wizened, and, even the surroundings and his projections had returned to resembling how things were before the Mr. Charles gambit. Not only that, but to show how he'd accepted everything, they did not kill Cobb as projections normally do, especially the trained projections like Saito and "Fisher" had. They bring him to Saito. He allows the totem to be taken because, he's already explained, however slightly, the importance of the totem to Saito. So that brings Saito back and he remembers it's all a dream and he's been trapped all that time in limbo. Then Cobb convinces him with the leap of faith line, as well as the line Saito himself created in reference to Cobb. It was the line about becoming an old man full of regret. The idea they planted is: Cobb is a true friend and will never give up on him. He came back for him, even when he thought he was forgotten. He feels he owes him. He makes it so Cobb can return home.
Even if you look at the setup, dreams make more sense when we're asleep. It's only after we're awake that we begin to question it all. That's put forth by the movie as well. In what world would any corporation, or nations, for that matter, allow the world's power supply to come down to just two men, with one about to completely monopolize it? If "Fisher" really was an heir to a corporation like that, and so determined to get his father's approval, then he would, no doubt, also be aware of the face of the his father's greatest rival. Yet he didn't respond in the slightest to him passing him in the airport, yet gave Cobb a knowing nod, just as the others. "Fisher" is also supposedly untrained in such matters, only receiving training similar to Saito to shield his mind from inception. He was also sent to limbo. Yet Saito was the only one out of sorts when waking up. "Fisher" was just as calm and as casual as everyone else. Like he explained the concept to his crew, Cobb also says you can't just insert an idea, otherwise it's lost upon waking up. The target has to believe it was their idea. They have to create inspiration. If someone had just tried to do you harm, more or less, and failed, would you then attempt to hire them to do that very same thing for you? I think not. That was the start of it all right there. Saito had to approach him in the same way they had "Fisher" have to go after his uncle. That's the point of the intense stare from Cobb. He needed to take that risk, because that's the only time they could get to Saito. So that fierce gaze was to really keep him in mind of the inception, and hoping it paid off, so Saito immediately made the phone call. Saito was also in limbo before "Fisher" finished the inception. He had no way of knowing it was completed unless he could experience the dream as a whole. Cobb, nor anyone else, checked with "Fisher" to see if the inception took hold. It's unconfirmed if they completed the job Saito "hired" them to do. Yet he immediately makes that call to clear Cobb of charges.
It's all there, and it doesn't really require people to make a lot of drastic assumptions, as with other theories. Much like the idea of "inception" itself, it simply needs you to shift your focus. If you watch that movie again, looking at Saito as the target of the inception, you'll see it all, and the movie will actually click together more than it did looking at "Fisher" being the target to boot.
My brain... hurts
Wow. Fascinating! Thanks!
@@mityakiselev lol
wow
You nailed it!!!
3:10 - The snow level was actually the most incredible lemonade one can make of the lemons you have; that is, the snow wasn't meant to be there, but when it fell they decided to roll with it and just make it part of the level (or so I heard). Which is really quite brilliant and speaks well to Nolan's abilities as a filmmaker...
The reason why this works is because we all get so caught up and bogged down with everything that sucks about movies (and basically everything else in general) that we forget about what we like about stuff.
Totally with you!
I can't believe there isn't a video on Interstellar yet. Everything GREAT about Interstellar please, the symbolism, the father/daughter relationship that transcends dimensions, the soundtrack, the visuals, everything
Also, note that the maze that Ariadne drew on the back of the graphing paper was circular, which is one of the most popular depictions of the Minotaur's labyrinth, which is amazingly appropriate considering the role Ariadne plays in the original myth.
3:35 I love this scene. Fischer's character arc with his father and discovering that his uncle was trying to tear him down would make a great movie in its own right, but on top of that, we as an audience know that Cobb created this character arc artificially to get Fischer to break up his father's empire, and his uncle is actually a good guy.
Argh, you didn't mention my favorite scene, when Fischer is talking to Browning in the Hotel and Browning begrudgingly lets go that Fischer's father didn't want him to take over the job... except that's not Browning, it's a Fischer's projection, so this scene is Fischer convincing himself via this elaborate ruse... I love it.
Having spent the last month finding your channel and then catching up on almost all your superb videos, this one is the only one I’ve found lacking. I’d love to see you revisit it with an updated, more thorough approach!
Any movie with Leo in it is a win!
Still my most favorite film of all time. First because of everything you talked about in this video, but also, because this film really introduced my into the world of cinema
Inception is and always will be my favorite movie. Not only for the reasons that you have brought forth, but for the possibilities of interpretation that this masterpiece offers. To me, this is on par with TRON: Legacy in terms of soundtrack, storytelling, interpretability and ingenuity. Well done!
Truly such an amazing crescendo at the end of the film. Chills every time. Great video.
I was always charmed by Mirza Ghalib's poetry. I once asked my teacher, how do you recognize an artist? She said, a true art is something which carries lots and lots of interpretations that is each person extracting different meaning of the art and You can never tell what the Artist's interpretation was.
Really underrated channel here. Keep up the good work man!
what was the song playing at the very end? also this video made me want to rewatch inception, will do that tomorrow :)
Max Coomer Agreed!
It's Rise of the Heroes by Jon Wright
Max Coomer It's hard to find but you can still find it. Google search it, there's some links that will play it. But you can't download it. There is a way though, you gotta download "Wondershare Streaming Audio" it's free. You play the track and that program records it for you, enjoy.
Really interesting to see how far you've come since this video!!
I love Time on the soundtrack
I have watched this video multiple times and every time your explanation of the end just blows my mind about how right it seems. If I have seen the e movie I have watch your reviews. Love your channel, please do more!!
Oh great. Now I feel like watching this movie again.
you should totally take another look at this movie, a lot of your more recent videos go more in depth so if you have time i'd love to see what else you can find!! love your vids!!
I am a connoisseur of fight scenes and the hallway fight is a seriously brilliant fight scene.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this in IMAX and I was immediately mind blown by how mind blowingly amazing it was. One of my favourite movies of all time.
I think this video needs a remake. You did it back when your reviews were far shorter and more concise, something that I feel this movie simply can't be captured by. It's so elaborate on many levels and really needs a long, deep look into it's many avenues!!!
Wow, thanks for this review. Inception is my all time favourite movie. The 1st few times i saw it I missed a lot of plots and direction, then later I started to understand the movie and why things were as they were. The idea that this could all be Cobb trying to get himself to finally go home is amazing.
Please, please make Everything great about: "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises", "Interstellar", "The Prestige", "Nightcrawler", "The Equalizer", "No Country for Old Men", and "Sicario"..please...
JUST DID DARK KNIGHT WOO HOO!
Yh at last..
Ok, I’m going through your log of videos and was already loving them from the get go. But getting this one has made Cinema Wins one of my new favorite channels on TH-cam. Keep doing what you’re doing, because we need more positivity in this world! Thank you so much.
"I want to see this movie. Show me Cobb and team spending 10 years in a dream hanging out extracting and incepting, what have you." = Tenet?
Phenomenal job. I absolutely adore this movie and you presented some amazing points to support your theory that I've never heard before.
Any chance you'll do a video for The Fugitive (1993)? That is one of my all-time favorite films.
i noticed at the end, none of the characters said anything to each other. i might be reaching, but maybe the whole plane ride was just a dream and since Dom saw all of them on the plane, he projected them into his dream, which could explain your theory
Hans Zimmers score "Time" (the emotional build up) absolutely lost me. That song makes me emotional as heck and i absolutely love it.
Dude love your channel, and btw I think you should change your motto to "no movie is without merit"
Well the ending is real because we got the confirmation from micheal caine that when he asked nolan what part of the movie is dream and which is not, nolan said that the scenes in which caine is present are real.
To me, this will always be THE definitive Christopher Nolan film. His best ones outside the Dark Knight always ask a question at the end: "Now...how much of the truth did I just tell you?" The ending of this film took it to the max.
Your theory, BTW, is genius AND plausible. I would add one aspect to it: Mal (whose name, in Latin, translates as "evil" or "bad") is actually the lead representation of Cobb's subconscious resistance. If the dream ends, so does her existence. Therefore, she's not trying to help in the direct you posit. She is attempting to convince him to let go of the real world altogether so that he can spend the rest of his life with her...in a dream world.
Tom Norton He's a bit more productive than Kubrick ever was. He mirrors Kubrick in that, despite the range of genres he's worked in, certain themes keep showing up and he has a unique voice that could not be mistaken for anyone else's. That's the working definition of an original to me.
This movie’s cultural influence is bonkers. Like the suffix “-ception” means something occurring recursively or several of the same thing nested within each other in colloquial language, even though the word “inception” just means start/origin. That can be traced solely back to this movie
There’s nothing not great about this film. It’s a masterpiece👏🏻
The music at the end still gets me every time!
Fun fact:This film only included 500+ VFX shots,while a normal movie includes 2000+ shots
This is one of my all time favorite films, if not my top favorite. The idea behind it, the action, the acting, the soundtrack. It's all superb
Thank you for finally mentioning that the totem is Mal's. It drives me insane that no one notices that.
Literally everyone notices that
I've seen this movie few times. There're moments I want to watch it as a fantastic piece of sci-fi thriller. There're moments I see it and I think of the theories and meanings hidden. It just keep you coming back over and over.
"accepted" not "excepted" (but great video)
This movie is so "nit pickable" now but at the time it came out it changed our perceptions of what CGI can really do as well as how believable it could really be made to be.
I watched this movie 2-3 times for first viewing. I'd argue that this was even one of the first modern cinimatic stepping stones to movies like Guardians, Dr Strange, and sort of Ant Man.
are you using a 1940s mic or are you secretly Steve rogers
Hahahaha, the latter. (But I've also moved recording into a sound deadening closet since this video.)
+CinemaWins nice theory btw subbed
Thanks friend.
+CinemaWins I'm not your friend, buddy!
I'm not your buddy, guy!
2:57 I KNOW RIGHT?! IT WAS SICK!
When Cobb gets home and their kids turn the heads... and this time, scene was not cut. Idk but it touched me inside.
Love your positivity, so refreshing on these You Tube channels
A movie i would like to see is "The golden compass" Can you make that please?
I agree and Tom Hardy here. It was the first movie I saw him and I truly appreciate the character he portrayed here
Omg I love Inception ITS AWSOME these videos r awsome make another one of Godzilla I like that movie too and still keep up the good work
+Alex The Beast Will do! '98 or '14?
I love this channel, but could you go maybe into some aspects like writing, performances,scores,direction,set design and cinematography like in some reviews, just a suggestion. Love the channel though
you should have a million subs
+moo person Thanks! Spread the word. ;)
Your welcome dude I love your videos so much
Great channel. Great video.
I liked this movie when I first saw it. I really did. I even still like a lot of things about it. My biggest singular problem now is the script and the whole way the story unfolds. I'll see if I can't use your Wins to explain:
0:11 - The entire scene is great cinematography, of course. But the thing that I always wondered about is why they are bothering to do Saito's extraction on two dream levels. Aside from Mal showing up, which no one could have planned for, everything seemed to be going just fine. It really just feels like they wrote it that way just to introduce the concept of multiple dream levels without expositional dialogue. This is fine for filmmaking, but it results in a plan that makes zero sense within the context of the movie.
0:45 - I liked that whole transition a lot too. But again, why a bathtub? If all a "kick" needs is the sensation of falling, why not just throw him on a pile of mattresses like they when they were testing Yusef's compound on Arthur? Again I feel like they only did this so we wouldn't question throwing the cast into a river at the end of the movie. This also highlights another problem I had with the two-level plan for Saito. Why isn't Arthur also set up for a kick? What if Cobb was the one that got shot in the head and Arthur then needed the emergency wake-up?
2:14 - I guess this is why I'm such a cynic, since I took this dialogue completely the other way. They go to all the trouble of setting up this dream time extension concept, but then they finish the job in like three hours. What exactly was it they were supposed to have been doing in a hotel for six months? Or in a mountain wilderness for *ten years*??
2:23 - I really feel like this is either a conversation they should have had before going under the sedatives, or it's the kind of thing that's so absurdly dangerous it should be common knowledge to professional extractors.
2:55 - Speaking of kicks, why didn't this wake anyone up?
3:00 - Again completely opposite my initial reaction. I just sat there thinking, "This is supposed to be a *hospital*? ...The f#$@?
4:54 - It's an interesting theory, but it's contradicted by the fact that one of the things the movie went out of its way to explain is the reason Cobb is the only one to keep pulling in his projections is that he is too mentally unstable to be performing these types of jobs. I also think you might be reading a little too much into the dialogue here. The reason the other character's conversations come back to him because it's a movie and he is the main character. The entire plot is about him letting go of his guilt and learning to move on. Because this film had a competent director, they didn't waste screen time showing small talk that isn't relevant to the plot.
5:11 - Ariadne does leave because she's scared of him, but she also doesn't go back for him either. The movie all but states outright that the type of power that comes with dream manipulation is like a drug addiction for people like them.
6:20 - Yeah considering all of the rest of the problems with this movie's script, I just added the whole spinning top totem thing to the pile.
6:58 - Paradoxical themes are one thing, but unexplained plot inconsistencies are another.
I'm really trying not to nitpick because I do like this movie. I just wanted it to be perfect, and there's just so much about it that just bugs the crap out of me.
“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.” ❤️❤️❤️
I think the movie is exactly what it says it is. What we are told is exactly what happens. In the prestige Nolan sets up the simplest answer is always the solution but spends the whole movie convincing you to believe that it can’t be. He’s doing the same in inception. He tells you from the beginning that cobb starts in the real world and the Fischer heist is real they only start dreaming on the plane. He then spends the entire 2nd and 3rd act trying to make you second guess cobb just like he did in prestige. He’s trying to make you believe the most obvious and the truthful answer isn’t that.
What do you mean at 5:52 when you say he "goes down like a projection?"
Jackson Taylor He was saying that projection people go down too quickly. Kind of like video game characters would. It’s not realistic.
I love your theory and yes, it is a truly great film. I would probably argue that it has roots in A Midsummer Night's Dream where the end of the play is basically 'if you thought this play seems a bit crazy, maybe you were asleep and dreaming throughout the whole thing.' Inception is a bit like that: what was real and what wasn't?
Wins all around!
Perfect film.
A slowed down version of that song...
Never occured to me, that one.
But I'll take it!👍👍👍
I honestly wanna see Cinema Wins and Cinema Sins reviewing a movie together, how awesome would that be?
This needs a revisit for sure!
Hey, can you do Everything GREAT about My Little Pony: The Movie? Thank you.
I always thought that Cobb was in the reality and aware of that before right at the end when the mission is complete. It's really sketchy that Saito would be able to clear his criminal record with one phone call. So what about a cheaper for him; leaving Cobb in another dream level, knowing that he won't question the perfect "reality"? (At the end of the movie he does not stick around to see if he's still dreaming)
Cinema sins is the worst channel on TH-cam. This will combat such a disease. Thank you cinema wins for speaking about the true beauty in movies.
WORD!
Cinema Sins is a comedy channel that way too many people take seriously
Cinemasins is shit, owner of that channel may not have any work so why not point out stupid things in great movies.
I notice that this written a year ago, but I have to ask: you know that CinemaSins and CinemaWins are the same guy, right?
they´re really not. You can hear that in the voice
PLEASEEE come back to this film, its a masterpiece that deserves more love .
This was the movie that Leonardo DiCaprio truly deserve an Oscar, NOT The Reverent. Surprisingly enough, Leonardo didn't get any recognition from the Big Wigs of Hollywood from many of his films whether it is Aviator, Shutter Island, Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Django Unchained. Not until he started showing off his extreme Leftist political views dealing with Climate Change/Global Warming, advocating for more Big Government control from the United Nations and NATO. He started doing more Environmentalist stuff that the Academy Awards wets their pants for. I'll be honest, Tom Hardy actually did a better job than Leo, to be brutally honest. Hell, Leonardo DiCaprio is even shaking hands with the corrupted Presidential candidate herself Hillary Clinton. It truly saddens me that Leo has to sell his soul to please the Big Wigs, the shady Shadows of Hollywood just for an Oscar win.
This and Django Unchained. He was fantastic in that.
+David Johnson Hell yeah man.
Sadly it's because the Oscars are a somewhat corrupt event. A lot of what goes into who gets the oscar is their involvement with the "Big Wigs of Hollywood" and Leo before the Revenant never really cared about that. He emphasized he was never in the business to be rewarded or get prizes. I'm ecstatic for him that he got his well deserved Oscar, but I also have more respect for him that he never really needed it. I wish the Oscars were given to actors based on public votes. That would make way more sense, everyday people see the movie and people would agree on whichever actor deserved it most. I'm sure Leo would have won several Oscars by now if that were the case. I don't know who DOES pick the winner, but it's stupid honestly.
This was in competion with "The Kings Speech", and in the views of the judges(?) of the Oscar, "The Kings Speech" was the winner. I guess sentiment overcomes logical plot analysis
The amazingness about Inception was the allegorical meaning that man's determination to dominate every aspect of reality will ultimately be his downfall.
What's awesome about that movie is that it alludes to how fragile our very perception of reality is, since after all "reality" as we know it only consists of the information that is gathered by our consciousness by means of touch, sight, sound, smell, and feel. We never stop to think about the fact that the real, objective reality consists of WAY more than that. In fact, just the simple discovery of different types of waves in the air is proof that, with our consciousness the way it is, we're only capable of experiencing an EXTREMELY small portion of the whole of reality. And the more we push those boundaries of our perceptions the more we risk overreaching, thus destroying how our minds currently experience things.
I think it hearkens back to philosophers like Nietzsche, who ultimately died literally insane and alone after spending years trying to dissect the different aspects of life. And I think the most important parallel between those people and the movie Inception is that in both cases someone powerful figured out how to use that knowledge to control others. In fact, Hitler took much of Nietzsche's writing and used it to START the Nazi party.
All-in-all, Inception was amazing because it really made you question what reality is, and how it can ultimately be used. What are your thoughts?
Brilliant summary! In my opinion, Nolan’s best quality is that he isn’t trying to force the audience to believe something or simply to make a story for entertainment. The endings in his films aren’t simply ‘happy’ or ‘sad’ either, but rather, they prompt audiences to ask themselves a deep and intricate question related to life and its meaning.
@@chrischoi2905 I agree 100% 💚
