Natalie: "I feel like we're in Dr Strange again"
literally everyone when Dr Strange came out: "its like Inception!"
And the time-reverse aspect of Tenet is like Doctor Strange.
@@flatebo1 and Memento
@@thebatman4991 Memento is just told out of sequence. I'm referring to the final battle in Dr. Strange where he reverses time and traps one of Kaecilius' minions in a wall and another in a fish tank. Nolan does the same thing in Tenet.
@@flatebo1 the first scene is reversed
@@thebatman4991 Can't say as I really remember Memento. So it has time running backwards while the characters run forwards? And interact with the backwards-running time? Seems bit on the odd side for a crime drama.
When the movie ended on that top spinning, one of the guys in the theater I was in yelled "Fuck you" at the screen. It was great.
The.Vow. Full Movie 2012 what movie name
Lol for real!.
Hahaha.
That's awesome.
Oh god I just commented a similar experience!
Fun fact: the names Dom, Robert, Eames, Ariadne, Mal and Saito, form together the word "DREAMS"
This film keeps delivering every time I see it. Thanks Natalie and you guys.
Wow. Now that is certainly no coincidence.
You forgot about Peter, Arthur and Yusuf. So it's actually "DREAMS PAY".
Wowowow.
Ariadne is also a direct reference to a play that involves some interesting concepts
Inception: This movie is confusing.
Tenet: Hold my beer in reverse
More like, the beer holds you in reverse
Drink it upside down.
lol
Inception doesn't hold Tenet's beer, but rather Inception HANDS Tenet the beer because it's inverted 🙃🍻🙂
It's actually give the beer back to me in reverse
Ariadne is from Greek Mythology. She helps Theseus to slay the Minotaur and escape the labyrinth. It's a fitting name.
And then Theseus ditches her on an island while she's asleep. What a cad!
And "Mal" is literally the latin root meaning "bad" or "evil"
@@cloudshad0ws and mal is used in french in the same sense, and the actress (Marion Cotillard) is french too
And Anaconda MALt liquor gives you a little Richard. We solved it😂
@@cloudshad0ws also Mal is spanish for bad or evil if you will....
Cobb's totem is his wedding ring. When he dreams, he wears the ring; when Cobb is in the real world, he doesn't wear the ring. And he doesn't wear the ring at the end. In addition, he knows how he got home and the children are older and in different clothes.
That’s also why he doesn’t stay to see if the top stops spinning, because he already knows he is home.
almost everyone missed that point when he said that totems are unique and that the spinning top was his wife's totem.
When I figure out that the wedding ring is his totem my mind just blew
@@neilshewmaker9241 truly though. He wouldn't care either way. Because he is happy. He is home. And accepts his life
@@tiagocunha1573 Mind blown! I gotta watch this again...I always wondered about the spinning top being Mal's totem and Cobb spinning it each time. I love this movie and the mystery Nolan creates. Such imagination and creativity.
I like the interpretation that he has grown past his fear of being trapped in a dream, and that freedom is expressed by him leaving the top before it stops spinning, because he is not paranoid about being in the dream anymore.
Ambiguous endings can be frustrating, but I love what he did here, because it's not all that ambiguous if you think about it: The top is *NOT* Cobb's totem, it's Mal's. The important thing isn't whether it falls or not, the important thing is that he walked away without waiting for it. He managed to finally break free of his obsession.
Never thought of it this way, and I like this better than him being in limbo willfully accepting it to be with his kids
this is actually a better explanation instead of whether it is a dream or not. thanks
I actually have a theory based on the phrase…Life is but a dream…
That everything is always a dream… that Amal never actually dies, but is kicked backwards… but that also would mean Cobb’s nightmare version of Mal could have sprung forth after their kids… thus the entire… everything, was a design construct to get Cobb to let go… and my final theory is that Ariadne is actually Mal after being reset.
Saito really lived like a 60 year life or so there and then woke up back in the plane. That would be some wild shit.
yeah, in a like a hut on a beach too.. I mean, at least build a disneyland or something down there..
Yep. Reminds me of the Star Trek:TNG episode Inner Light where Picard lives an entire life in like 20 minutes.
fuck this comment reminded me of that reddit post with the lamp that looks off
Nolan is famous, among other things, for his taste for practical effects. That corridor scene is all practical effects and camera work. No greenscreen there.
Genius.
The word "genius" is sometimes being thrown around and is been given to a lot of people, who are nowhere near a genius. This is one of the times, when the word "genius" is the completely right word.
Yeah the hotel corridor was just a giant rotating set
No greenscreen but 1000s of man hours painting out wires. So you're still watching CG technically
Using CG when it's absolutely needed, but relying mostly on practical effects, is the hallmark of a truly talented director.
@@georgewebster7472 they didn't use wires, the room is rotating
I think the point of that ambiguous ending was to show that he'd decided to accept this reality, regardless of whether it was real or a dream. He was willing to see his kids faces and he didn't stop to wait and see if the top fell over. He was home and that's what mattered to him.
@Ben Gibson It *is* his, it *was* hers, what does that matter? He uses it like it’s his throughout the movie
Thank you! So many people fixate on whether or not the totem would have fallen, but the point was that Cobb walked away and didn't care. It does kind of show how brilliant it is though, because the implication is that Cobb will spend the rest of his life never knowing for sure if this is reality--something that would be maddening to most people. Even the audience can't stand not knowing! 😂 It speaks to the catharsis Cobb got that he could just accept never knowing.
Edit: I understand that the top is not Cobb's totem, but it was established several times in the movie that he uses Mal's totem to test his reality.
@Ben Gibson The ring can't be a totem, since it is not on his person in reality. It only indicates what he believes is a dream (if he doesn't believe that he is dreaming he can not "create"/"summon" the ring).
@Ben Gibson If that's the case, how do you explain the kids not ageing?
Also, there are two different ages for the kids that are mentioned in the credits. One age is how he remembers them and the second age is when he sees them as they are older now. So this also proves that he was in reality.
The end is a classic Nolan move... he doesn’t try to explain everything to the audience, he just puts the story out there and it’s the audience job to figure it out... it’s up to us to figure out if it’s still a dream or reality, that why it cuts so abruptly
it is clearly a reality if u look at details in the movie
Yes love his movies but can he please fix the audio
Both Memento and The Prestige hammered you over the head with the reveals.
@@aerthreepwood8021 any other such nolan movies apart from memento prestige inception and interstellar????
@@aerthreepwood8021 To be fair, those three are twists, and twists don't really work that well if they're ambiguous.
At this point, I am starting to wonder, what movies HAS Natalie actually seen?!
mostly marvel movies.. just the ones she has on her channel really, she only started watching movies recently, like most of these reaction channels (first time!!)
@@StayFractalesque She worked in the movie industry and has watched movies all her life. It's just crazy how many she hasn't seen.
@@CalestoBella I love movies but I've never watched Lord of the Rings. It came out when I was younger and didn't get a chance to watch it. I still plan on watching it one day.
in her zombieland reaction video, she said she has seen ghostbuster a bunch of times. that's it i guess
Jeez, regardless of whether she has or hasn't I still love her reactions. It's the internet after all. Suspend your beliefs and just have fun.
Inception is a great example of a modern day blockbuster. Smart, brilliantly acted, directed, written. Great technical achievements. Great score. Such a great film.
I agree with you 100%!
A Blockbuster With Substance. Thats What Makes It Stand The Test Of Time
9.9/10
I don’t believe in 10/10, but if I did... this is it.
Just great all around
The ending is truly brilliant because it incepted us the audience and 10 years later we’re still talking about it
“An idea. Resilient, highly contagious”
I absolutely love Leo’s acting in the flashback scene with mal, that small voice crack when he screams “Jesus Christ!” is Oscar worthy
Every Nat reaction in a nutshell:
'WHAAAAAT?!'
*hysterical laughter*
'I'm so confused!'
*terrified screaming*
'OH FUCK, COME ON!!!'
*uncontrollable sobbing*
'That was so sweet!'
You must see Memento! Early Chris Nolan playing with time and editing like a mad wizard. Guy Pearce is fantastic in it.
Even reedited in a more familiar first and people still are scratching their heads trying to figure that one out. Truly excellent filmmaking with that one.
This was the first film of Nolan's I ever watched and it hooked me to his movies forever. Memento is still in my top 3 favorite films of all time.
Agreed! Watch Momento sometime!
I loved the concept, but hated the movie. The ending/beginning was horrible (I hate being made to sympathize the villain)
The DVD was next to impossible to play
"I'm confused"
Tenet: Hold my malted barley in the future that will become beer in the past
Only to be drunk in the field where the barley was grown by the estranged daughter of the person who invented the bottle cap.
UNDERRATED COMMENT!!!!
Gold
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
27:20 he has played with time in pretty much everything he's done besides the Dark Knight trilogy. In Dunkirk it was via non-linear story telling. Memento is by far my favorite example of his use of non-linear story telling and I highly recommend it (chronologically it starts at the end of the story and slowly reveals how we got there).
memento start at the end and the beginning at the same time and ends in the middle of the movie
I just love how Nolan was able to use time in a fucking war movie lol, and it was amazing!
This film gave me that "matrix moment" where I walked outta the theater going "am I in a dream world, too??" The wife haunting was what I loved about this film
Yes same
It's crazy to think Saito spent 40-50 years in the limbo world, and had to remember his earlier life and his promise to Cobb when he finally showed up..
I always wonder how he remembered that phone number lol
@@BrokenGodEnt It was in his contact list on his phone.
@@BrokenGodEnt You forget your dreams when you wake up, after all. Everything probably rushed back to Saito's memory when he woke up.
I think it's more that the human mind operating at such an overclocked state would burn it out, not the perception of time passed itself, that's just a side effect..
He was out for just ten hours, dude! When you sleep ten hours, and wake up, you still know you've got to go to work.
My favorite thing about this film is the unspoken backstory between Tom Hardy and JGL that fuels the animosity between them. Makes them feel more like real people.
When it first came out the prevailing theory was that they're ex-boyfriends. 😂
@@DizzyJae Love it. It’s a great little detail that adds levity to the film and also fleshes them out a bit by letting the viewer fill in the blanks.
Not much really.
It seems more like they just don't jive with each others way of doing things.
One thrives on creativity and spontaneity.
The other thrives on planning and specificity.
The difference seems to irk Arthur while it only amuses Eames.
@@mnomadvfx I like the exes theory though as Eames is clearly a little camp in this movie. Though being the actor of the group it could just be him being a luvvy.
Dream a little bigger, darling. And the fandom got hype. It's amazing XD
I always interpreted and felt the importance of the final shot not as about "is this a dream or reality", but more of the fact that Cobb doesn't care. He doesn't stay and watch the totem fall/keep spinning... he's with his children and that's all that matters to him.
Natalie: "How did they film this?"
Answer: "Christopher Nolan is magic."
That usually means practical sets
The top was Mal's totem. His was his Wedding band. If you go back and look, he's only wearing his ring when he's in a dream.
This, this right here.
You're right about the ring, but when Cobb is in HIS OWN dream - top wouldn't stop, when he is in SOMEBODY ELSE's dream - he wearing the ring. In real word he keep the ring in his pocket, and the top would stop ofcourse
To clarify, he's wearing the ring when he IS dreaming. Because "in my dreams we're still together."
@@Dreveryn you are correct, I misread the original comment as having stated the correct status of Cobb's ring.
Edit: I think the OP corrected their statement.
@@jimclayson This goes along with what I read Michael Caine say, "I read an interview with Michael Caine where he said he had asked Chris Nolan if Cobb was still in a dream at the end of the movie. Nolan told him that every scene you (Caine) are in, is in Cobbs reality. So I guess that would mean that the ending is reality because Caine is in that last scene."
Interstellar next! You will love love love it. Christopher Nolan is amazing, especially teamed with the perfect music. You really can't go wrong with any of his movies.
Yes! I finally saw that movie a month ago, it was amazing
Yes! Although the best way to watch Interstellar is in IMAX especially with the music
She'll cry... like I did
Natalie will cry her eyes out watching Interstellar.
@@mdgarciasa I bawl my eyes out every time, and it's wonderful.
The "special extra features" that are included with this video disc reveal that there are actual cases of people who have had "shared dreams!" Even more, a psychological perspective also included in this suite indicates that indeed the world we daily live in can be likened to a dream! From the metaphysical perspective not included with this DVD our "real world" experience is in fact a total illusion!
My favorite interpretation of the ending is that the entire thing was an inception being run by Mal to finally pull Cobb out. After all, why would Cobb be able to use the spinning top as an anchor? It wasn't his focus. It was Mal's.
SHUTTER ISLAND! ANOTHER LEO DICAPRIO MASTERPIECE MINDBLOWN MOVIE!
YES! Another one of Scorsese's under rated gems. Doesn't get the credit it deserves.
I would suggest Shutter Island too, in a way they are the same movie
Omg this, brilliant movie.
Bring this one up top!! Let her see this!!
This film is absolute perfection
Nat's going to need a bigger "I'm so confused" counter when she gets around to Tenet.
Oh good lord Tenet. That's like watching Inception in reverse and trying to make sense of it.
Part of the problem with Tenet is that there's dialogue sequences that you just can't hear cause of the terrible audio mixing.
Natalie reacts to "Primer":
just the words "I'M SO CONFUSED!" screamed over and over for 30 minutes.
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Hahaha omg Primer yeah that would totally be the case.
@@Eidlones Yeah...I love Nolan's films, but I have no idea why he thought that mix was okay. It's actually contributed to me watching the film far less than I would have otherwise...I've only seen it twice, because it's a pain in the ass trying to catch what people are saying. I guess I could turn on the subtitles, but then I end up reading more than watching the sequences.
All reactors to Inception always miss the point of what was in that safe. It wasn’t the words of Fishcer’s father that got to him. It was that after all the years of turmoil in the family, Fischer senior had saved the same “pinwheel” shown in the photo that Fischer keeps on him. That’s what made him break down into tears in the safe and love his father again.
This is one of my top five favorite films. Shortly after seeing it I actually started having lucid dreams, which was really fascinating. Sadly, it just stopped happening a few years later.
If you haven't already tried it, take some Melatonin like the 10mg dosage or Valerian Root. Either of those had caused me to have vivid dreams
One of Nolan’s best movies!
Correction. BEST.
Facts. I hear Tenet is really good too but Ive yet to see it
@@k3n12ock If you saw Interstellar, and thought it was confusing. Tenet will MELT your brain into pudding.
One of the best movies.
Period.
Just my humble opinion.
@@jerseyfky Dude my brain was hurting after I watched Tenet for the first time. That one is Inception times 10.
Mal turning to look in camera at Ariadne is a Nolan classic - she's looking at *us* because it is *we* the audience who have intruded
This channel is so chill. Thanks for the content!
I am glad you enjoy the ambiguous ending. I felt like too many people were irritated by it and dug in to a single interpretation, and I think the intentional ambiguity is a crucial part of the experience.
This was a super fun reaction to watch, as always! 💜
The ending is an "INCEPTION" - it plants an idea, and becomes self-referential
So true!!💯🤯
Woah I never thought of that 🤯
Mind blown. All these years later.
🤯
Fuuuuck, mind blown again! You guys are awesome. The movie itself plants an idea into the audience's mind. I cannot get over how tremendously awesome this movie is. (please forgive my incessant use of the word "awesome" but, in this case, it fits.
I just have to point out that the final spoken line in the film is of Cobb's son, after his father asks what he was doing, saying "I was building a house on a cliff," which of course is where Cobb was with Saito at the start and end of the film.
Marion Cotillard (playing Mal) really did a great job at being so scary, you almost don't realize she's absolutely gorgeous..!
The scene between Mal and Ariadne in the hotel room is so tense - she is terrifying, like a predator toying with her prey. And the size difference between her and Ariadne just makes it more effective - it also illustrates how different they are as characters, Mal the classic femme fatale and Ariadne the young ingenue.
the jump scare when Mal looks at Ariadne is the most ive ever jumped watching a movie in the theater, almost shat myself
She wasn’t “scary, or terrifying” loool. Y’all are tripping
She did great. I’m not a jealous person but i imagine if I’m dead and haunting my husbands dreams I wouldn’t appreciate him bringing a guest
Simp.
I remember watching this movie in the theater. That final shot the entire audience was dead silent. I have never heard a theater so quiet. I was thinking to myself "Are they going to do it?" When the screen went black there was an uproar in the theater and I was actually happy. I am glad they went with that ending.
Natalie really is the most beautiful reactor
What really is going to blow Natalie's mind, is when she realizes that the title of the film is three-fold. It's not only Fisher and Mal that were targets of an inception, but Ariadne is also doing it to Dom as the film progresses; she's the one that ultimately shows him the way out of the metaphorical labyrinth he is trapped in, just like in the Greek myth. ;)
Is it really that hard to imagine they named the character after the screenplay was written....
And on top of that Nolan is incepting us with the idea that the film is a dream. Layers upon layers :)
also this movie is a huge metaphor to how movies are made
we have an actor (tom hardy's character), a producer (joseph gordon lewitt), set designer (ariadne), etc etc.
And then people come out of the woodwork trying to kill you
@@peterlewerin4213 😝
i like that the film can be described as allegory for filmmaking . the whole point of a movie is to put an idea in your head.
Oh, oh, oh! Yay! So excited to see this one!
Hint about the ending: you were looking at the wrong totem. It was visible thru out the film, but is easily dismissed.
Cobb's wedding ring
Yes! I literally just said this! Lol. Thank you!
Haha! I just posted this too! Looks like a few of you guys beat me to it.
I wasn’t looking at the ring. It’s far more visible.
But since he told people the ring was his totem they could build a dream with that in it. So it might be useless now.
The point of the ending isn't whether the spinning top stops or not. It's that Cobb no longer cares whether it does. Every time he's left a dream up to that point he has sat waiting, gun in hand, for the top to fall. In the ending he has chosen to remain in that reality whether it's real or not.
Nah. The top was Mal's totem. His is his wedding ring. He's only wearing it in the dreams.
Uh no. Cobb cares, but don't worry... Cobb knows he's in the real world and it has nothing to do with the top. He realizes it on the plane at the end. What you are saying is the first layer of the movie. But that's not it. The movie is not about an inception on Fischer. It's about an inception on Cobb.
Let me explain:
Cobb used the top (originally Mal's totem) to implant an idea on Mal's mind. He made her believe that if the top spinned, then they were dreaming. Meaning the spin thing is something Cobb came up with. The actual and original purpose of the top was only known by Mal (maybe it's weight, a particular flaw on it, or sth else), it wasn't the spin.
This way, Cobb convinced Mal to go back to the real world.
The problem is that Cobb ended believing his own lie.
When Mal jumped, they were still dreaming. She probably realised that the spin thing was a lie (which explains why she still jumped even when the top was on the floor, after it stopped spinning).
So the whole movie plot is Saito (and others) trying to bring back Cobb, telling him stuff through each dream level (the same way they did with fischer), like "will you take a leap of faith", or "die like an old man filled with regret" and others. At the furthermost dream (supposedly limbo, or so he was made to believe) he finds Saito and to bring Saito back he needs to tell him the truth he knows. Or should i say, he now knows and realises (that's why his face is like that, like something just strucked him): something he once knew "that this world is not real", etc. The scene plays like Cobb is telling this to Saito, but he's actually telling that to himself, realizing it. Letting the idea perfectly go full circle in his mind. Knowing he would wake up in the actual real world (the plane). Btw, Saito woke up when he died. That Saito at the "limbo" in the end is just a projection by Cobb's mind. Also, we never know if Mal is actually alive or not at the end. And by that i mean that Mal could have died in the actual real world after coming back from anniversary dream. Imo she's still alive, we are just purposedly not shown she is alive. She can totally be in like another room or sth.
@@lupoarg That has to be the most long winded, incorrect assessment of the movie I've ever had the misfortune of reading.
Is it?
@@lupoarg yes.
I love it when a movie doesn't spoonfeed the audience by answering every question one might ask. I'd rather find out the answers for myself after I watch them. Probably the main reason I love Nolan's work
On the ending. The point is, weather the top stops spinning or not, Cobb doesn't care. He doesn't need to know if it's a dream or not. Because he's happy. He's free.
Cillian Murphy gives the best performance in this movie. He is so frickin underrated. If you haven't seen him in "The Wind that Shakes the Barley", stop what you're doing and see it!
Edited for spelling
and peaky blinders
Agreed , great movie that director doesn't use a script the actors make up their own dialogue , like him in a prison cell with Liam Cunningham , the direction would be you both share the same politics and become friends , and the two just made up the whole conversation . His version of a Christy is a loose beginning middle and ending but the ending is subject to change if something interesting happens on the day ,
Nah Sunshine is my personal favourite
@@originalbadboy32 great movie. But peaky blinders for performance , but as a multi season show he has more time to shine so its hardly fair to compare. Imo but sunshine is an awesome film
Yeah I can't believe Nat skipped the pinwheel scene. That's a heartbreaker and part of the whole 'twist.'
This film won the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Production Design and Visuals. It was also nominated for Best Picture & I believe screenplay too.
In hindsight what makes this movie also really impressive is not only it’s amazing story, characters, writing, acting, visual and special effects, or even it’s concepts but it’s also the fact that this movie is completely original and isn’t adapted from any screenplay or book or part of a bigger franchise like Star Wars, marvel or Disney and yet managed to gross 830 million dollars worldwide upon the year of release and become as beloved and talked about as it is today.
This was the greatest movie I’ve seen in theaters. I LOVED that ending. At the time, I totally forgot the spinning thing was a misdirection and when it cut to black, I let out an audible “holy shit” with a big smile on my face.
Interesting things to point out:
-The scenes of Arthur floating in the hallway were filmed by constructing a real suspended hallway built into a rotating centrifuge, with the camera able to lock into place and rotate along with the hallway. That way it could look like Arthur's gravity was shifting. It's wild to learn how they did this.
-Arthur and Cobb tell us that Mal came up with the idea for totems, and the spinning top was hers. If so, doesn't Cobb have to have his own totem? Separate from the top? We aren't told what it is in the film, but a lot of us have a theory. I'm sure someone else has spoiled it in the comments, but I think it's fun to figure it out yourself. It takes an eagle-eye for details, but I think the film shows us.
But you can have the totem be anything, as long as its unique to you. If he has Mal’s totem, it’s still unique to him and only he knows it’s physical properties.
@@ThatBlakeCampbell He does not use Mal's totem. Watch his hands when he's in a dream vs when he's not....
@@SurrealNirvana He quite clearly ALSO uses Mal's totem, as he spins it every time he wakes up.
This is the one movie that when I left the theater (remember those) and sat in my car, I spontaniously yelled "Holy shit, what a movie!" And sat there for like 5-10 minutes thinking about it, before I could drive away
Holy crap, just finished watching this alongside you and it was such a good time. :)
I first watched this movie in theaters years and years ago. I recently watched this, probably a few weeks ago and even after just watching it now - it was a great experience watching this. Seriously, thank you for putting this on and watching it "with us." It's definitely a lot of fun and it makes me smile.
This is the only movie in my life that I watched in the theater, and then immediately went right back in and watched again. My girlfriend and I were a bit ashamed that we watched the same movie twice in a row at the theater, so we lied and said we watched some other film for the second one. We were really captivated by this one.
“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling”
The time element with Dunkirk was that it was telling 3 different stories in 3 different timeframes that were all interspersed and eventually synched up at the end. For the soldiers, the story was told in days. For the sailors, the story was told in hours. For the pilots, the story was told in minutes. In the end, they all came together.
That’s awesome. Didn’t really enjoy it the first time. I might rewatch it
The scene with the introduction of Mr Charles where the gravity shifts on the light fittings and everything else in the room? That's because they built the room on a mechanism and actually tipped its angle during filming. All practical. Also the water pouring into that place near the beginning of the film? Actual huge amounts of water. Amazing stuff huh!
when i saw this in the theater, there was an audible gasp when it cut to the credits at the end. masterful work.
I went to film school and Graduated a few months before INCEPTION came out. After seeing it, I knew no matter what I did, I would never be able to make a movie as good as that... in a way, it killed my dream of being a filmmaker, but at the same time, it made me truly happy to see how good a movie could be and still inspires me and puts me in true awe every time I see it.
Have you seen Paprika the film that Nolan got his inspiration from?
@@JavMovieCorner buddy, go spam your gibberish somewhere else lol
The.Vow. Full Movie 2012 what movie name pal pal
hey don't give up. If Kevin Smith and Jim Jarmusch can do it anyone can, really.
Don't let it kill your dream of being a filmmaker. You don't have to be Mozart to feel accomplished or successful.
The Prestige is another great Nolan film, starring Michael Caine, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, David Bowie, & Scarlet Johansson
For a long time, this was my favorite movie.
It really blew my mind, watching it the first time!
Great writing, acting, cinematography, directing ... everything really.
On the subject of, is Cobb still dreaming at the end; One of the signs in this movie mentioned early on is, can you remember how you got to where you're at? If you can't, you're probably dreaming. We see the plain land. We see Cobb go through customs. Drive home. Everything that Cobb should logically experience to finally reach his children, he experiences. We don't see every minute of the trip in real time, that would be impractical so near the end of the movie. But every step is there. This would suggest that he is in fact awake, and finally reunited with his kids.
Christopher Nolan does a time-theme movies every ten years.
Tenet (2020)
Inception (2010)
Memento (2000)
Memento is based on memory. He got the idea learning about memory and how easily it can be altered and can't fully be trusted. Inception is based on Dreams, obviously. Tenet is the first film he has done based around time. His first film called Following, wasn't really based around anything other than Nolan's experience with his apartment getting broken into. Which interestingly, one of the character's name is Cobb, not the same character though from Inception.
Whilst usually not the central tenet (see what I did there), time is still a common theme in a lot of his films. The elongation of time within each dream level in Inception, relativistic time dilation in Interstellar, the three converging timeframes in Dunkirk.
@@My-Name-Isnt-Important All three are based on time. Memento is based on the passage of time based on a medical condition affecting memory. Inception is based on the passage of time as it relates to dreams.
@@tobygroves2112 I find Interstellar is a very interesting discussion of the theme. While Memento, Inception and Tenet is all about the passage of time affecting the main character. With Interseller time is progressing normally if relatively (see what I did there)
@@Dularr Well, no. Christopher Nolan explained this in an interview. He started to research into memory and how Police do not actually go by witness testimony due to how easily changed a person's memory can be. He also went into detail about Memento being a film about memory. Time really has nothing to do with either film, other than everyday life has the passage of time. I even have a video of the interview itself, so I bring proof of what I say. th-cam.com/video/0GH8hMQAb2w/w-d-xo.html
Of note; Ariadne was the name of the daughter of Minos who guided Theseus through the Labyrinth to fight the Minotaur. Fits Elliot's character here rather well, don't you think?
That gravity hallway scene with Arthur they actually built the entire hallway and spun it with the camera fixed in the middle. It got a few minutes of screen time all without the main actor in it. Nolan is amazing.
It's mind bending! I immediately watched it again after the first time I saw it.
May I recomend: Willow, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and/or Leon: The Professional.
Willow is awesome. "McMardigan!"
Leon, yes. I’ve suggested that one several times. We need more groundswell for it.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit ? is one of my all-time favourites !
and after Leon: the professional maybe a reaction to wasabi (also with Jean Reno) could be funny
The professional is hella underrated
Whenever a movie/show confuses me instead of getting excited and worried, I just relax and wait, it usually works out
Welcome to the club. Loved your reaction.
This is a masterpiece
Please do "The Departed"
A star-studded rollercoaster ride with a very smart story. You'll love it!
2 seconds in and I can already hear Nat inside my head saying: "oh no, no no, nono, oh my god no!" LOL

Food for thought. The way that I interpreted it was that if it would spin forever in the dream world, that it would never even begin to wobble there. With seeing his kids faces and watching the totem wobble tells me that he was in real life.... I hope!
One of the few movies I saw in a theatre where the entire audience applauded at the end...
Inception and Shutter Island should be watched back to back.
Because what is reality?
Agreed
Yes!! Please react to more Christopher Nolan movies

You’ve got to watch The Prestige (if you haven’t already). Probably the most well written/directed movie I can think of. You will want to watch it again as soon as it’s over. I’ve watched it dozens of time and there are no plot holes.
I loved the reaction! gorgeous make up btw
Wow this is such a surprise!! My favorite movie of all time and one of the most rewatchable movies ever in my opinion!!
The rare blind watch of Inception. I'm so excited to watch this with you, Natalie! So glad this was chosen for your viewing.
Cameron is once again spot on with the editing. He's hilarious! 4:00 pew!

I love the ending.
You can hear it slowing down, but I remember times when I've spun those, and had that happen, just for them to surprisingly keep going.
It's meant to be up to the viewer, you supposed to decide which outcome it is. But most importantly, it shows that Cobb is at a point where he really doesn't care anymore about whether he's in a dream or not. He's just finally back with his kids, and he's not gonna question it.
It's both extremely heartwarming, but also extremely heartbreaking.
I love how the Bleep mouth cover is unique to the movie you're watching.
First Thor Ragnarok, now Inception. What a week! And it's just Wednesday 😁

8:51 that sound effect was perfection
It was a really nice touch that you can hear the top spinning during the credits
such a Good One! x
Just when I get confident that he made it back to reality, I rewatch the scene in the lecture hall and what his father told him.
He did it make it back. The spinning top was never his totem after all, it was his wedding ring.
Shutter Island next ? Another breathtaking movie.
Yes!
I'm more impressed on how you're able to stay connected throughout the whole movie on your first watch.
Hearing Natalie say that she knows nothing about this movie is so cool. I love this movie. I wish I could watch it fresh again. I guess that's sort the point of reaction videos LOL
You should watch how they made that gravity scene with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. At least the fighting in the rotating room is done with practical effects, which is completely nuts th-cam.com/video/8PhiSSnaUKk/w-d-xo.html
Nolan is kind of fanatic when it comes to practical effects. Not that I'm complaining.
"Oh, she's going to experience pain." -Natalie Gold 2021 7:51
"He" lol
natalie was referring to the character, not the actor
I first saw this movie in the theater when it came out in 2010. I took my 8 year old son with me and I wasn't sure if he would really grasp the concept, but he LOVED it and we even argued over the ending. We each had a different opinion about whether or not Cobb was still dreaming. I was so impressed that he understood the movie enough to have his own theory and debate it with me. We went and saw it again the very next day and we've watched it countless times since, of course. Nolan is one of our favorite directors and even at 18 (almost 19) years old, my son still enjoys watching movies with me and analyzing/discussing them. It's something that truly bonds us. He is away at college now, but he still messages me with suggestions of what to watch and wants to talk about them. Yes, I raised a movie junkie and I'm not sorry. 😉
One of my fav things is that the entire movie is a flashback. The opening sequence with Cobb waking up on the beach at Saito's castle is what happens after Ariadne leaves him in limbo near the end of the film.
I've wanted you to watch this FOR EVER 😁
So glad you finally did, my fav film of all time for a long time was Inception 🙌
The.Vow. Full Movie 2012 what movie name pal
I remember more than a few “f” words shouted from the audience at the ending of this. (I loved it!)
Cobb actually spins his totem after every single dream during the heist prep. It. ALWAYS falls, so he isn‘t dreaming
Sorry, but people, who do not get this movie, are either not paying any attention at all to what they are watching (put away those damn phones while you are watching stuff, or dont complain afterwards that you did not understand what was going on -.-) or do have a simple mind. It is all perfectly explained through Ariadnes training...
I love this movie! I have seen it more than any other movie in the last 15 years because i love the cast, i love the story and the ideas, i love the set design, i love the styling, i love the music...
.

I love every plot twist and i am so in awe how clever the movie is, how everything is layed out in a circle (how Dom played with the mind of his wife and basicly killed her and is now haunted by her) and especially how they make Cillian do it in the end. That gets me everytime, even watching it in your reaction i teared up and had goosebumps.
And i love the ending. For me its definitly reality, because the spinning top never wiggled in his dreams.
