Yeah that is one thing that’s always bugged me, how come nobody in this movie dreams up something insane as hell like being on a spaceship or monsters attacking the city...although they are in the dreams of a boring businessman so it kinda makes sense, pretty sure somebody who spends 90% of his time sitting in boardrooms doesn’t have much of an imagination

My favorite part of the movie is Dom and Saito talking about being young men again. I don't know, there's something about them honoring each other that's very endearing. A special bond was formed during the planning of the heist that caused both men to potentially sacrifice themselves for the other man.
About the bit with the effects, I actually had someone tell me that Inception was only an 8/10 because it “didnt have enough special effects” and I was like- “That’s...not what...the movie is about...?”
Omg inception as a horror movie with all the exposition part cut out sound sooooo good. Imagine it. I mean really imagine ellen paige character realizing her world seems off and slowly other character comes to her trying to wake her up. And the dead wife character keep trying to kill her. She keeps waking up from dream layer to dream layer with other characters trying to wake her up or tryig to remind her her goal in the dream. untill she wakes up for real and fully understanding whats happening at the same time as the audience. Then she needs to go back into the dream to save leonardo. Omg that sounds so good.
Finding out it was pitched as horror makes a lot of sense because when I watched Inception for the first time, it made me so anxious that I had to watch it in two parts. 😂 So I think the elements are still in there a bit, especially the bit where Ariadne gets “killed”.

@@TheSuperappelflap The point is that the answer to the question doesn’t matter. The real answer, anyway. That’s why Nolan isn’t concerned with answering it one way or the other. The thing that is real is Cobb’s love for his children, and that he was willing to confront what he had done in order to return to them. Whether or not they or his reality were real was secondary. This is paralleled by the B plot where a son and father reconcile. Whether or not that reconciliation was real, it was “catharsis,” as Cobb says.
The great thing about Inception is that it is so many things ... spy thriller, heist film, action film, sci fi and evening a ghost story. Moll’s projection in Hobb’s mind is for every intent a ghost. That’s maybe my favorite part of the movie. She’s haunting him ... even if it is just the memory of her. Good stuff gentlemen, love your videos!
The reason Mal went mad was because Cobb put the idea in her head that she had to get out of the dream world and it wouldn't go away even when she went back to real life.
The problem is Nolan treats the dreamworld and the real world like they're the same thing. You can dream a lot of things in which is impossible to do in reality. Inception lacks imagination

I worked in a theater in Daytona, Florida. The most "Florida" part of Florida. The "Mos Eisley" of Florida. Florida Man's outhouse. Just setting the scene.

All of them stating the movie was too confusing and at times even hurt their heads.
I know this comment will probably get passed over like most but just want to say thank you guys. Battling with some pretty severe depression today, and after a few videos of you guys this morning you gave me a much needed laugh and I’m grateful. You deserve to know the work you do isn’t meaningless to people like myself.
My Inception theory is that Christopher Nolan gets all his movie concepts from old episodes of Red Dwarf. They did an episode with time going backwards, they did an episode with a replicator. They did an episode with time dilation in space due to black holes. I think Inception is based on "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" where Kryten gets infected with a virus and his mind turns it into a western, so they go inside with a VR machine to help him fight it off.
Mol didn't go mad because she went to limbo, Mol was mad because that is what Leo's character thought of her. His consciousness brought his projection of her into the dream world.
"Inception" is just an infinitely rewatchable movie. I never get tired of it. I always want to see it. I've even watched it back-to-back! (something I've never even done with any other film ever made) But I never want to see a sequel, because honestly... a sequel would RUIN this flick!
I still don’t get how people think he might be dreaming at the end. The top wobbles wich it never does in the dreams. His children are older and look different. And if that isn’t enough there’s the whole wedding ring theory thing
I think it's quite obvious for Leo's character arc. Now he has now finally found solace whether he's dreaming or not; he can see his children and that's all that matters.
It wasn’t his totem, it was mals, Cobb may have gotten stuck in mals dream because you need three layers to get to limbo and you need to kill yourself in limbo and then in the next layers to come back, but Cobb only killed hi self once when he got ran over by a train, that leads me to believe that when mal killed herself she may have gone to an upper level, and because mal is now in the real world, their children seem to get older because mal is projecting them and because mal was in the real world, her totem didn’t work
I always thought that the point of the final scene was the camera focuses on the top until the moment it starts to wobble, and then cuts, because that's all the confirmation you need. That, and he actually sees his children's faces.
To me, the point of the movie is it doesn't matter to Cob if he is still dreaming or not when he finally meet his kids.. There are many small details during the movie that makes it unsure if he is in the real world or still dreaming, which makes the viewer wonder ALL the time. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. The ending was PERFECT. I've often tried to imagine myself in a similar situation. If I ended up in a situation where I achieve true happiness/enlightenment etc, and I'm shown that it's just a dream world. I wouldn't mind being stuck in that state, as that would become my new reality. My mind would make it real. I've heard similar stories when people describe their experience doing crazy psychedelics like DMT. They are literally transported mentally to another dimension, and live their "lives" sometimes for years in that place.....although they are only gone for 30 minutes in the real world. That is so mindlbowing I can't even wrap my head around it. The movie reflects the same issue to a certain point, which is why it's my favorite of all time.
Saito = Big Studio Exec Arthur = Movie Producer Cobb = Director Ellen Page = Set Designer Eames = Actor Yusef = Director of Photography Fisher = Audience Mal = On Set Diva? Idk
Tbh that was kinda the problem with dkr for me. He likes these people so he crammed them all into a batman movie. Until batman is barely in it and is barely involved for months of the storyline.
In a dream you just appear but at the end we see Di Caprio leaving the plane, picking up his luggage, leaving the Airport, taking a cap, arriving at his house and thats the way Nolan is giving us a ans answer
This is late, but sorry James, Mason knows about the most important and fundamental aspect of this movie, and that is the drip. Fuck Cobb going back to his children, drip is more important than family, lmao.
You know the ending is real life because the kids turn their heads. Otherwise Dom could only remember untill the point he had to leave in a hurry. The kids are also different, because they grew a bit since his departure.
@@ThreadBomb he couldn't see beyond the point when he left in a hurry. You can't remember something that didn't happen. In his elevator he has stored memories, one of them is that exact moment, where he left in a hurry, the last image he has of his children. In the end of the movie, not only the children turn their heads, they're both different, a little older.
@@franciscomenano9900 that's not proof though. Nolan deliberately made the movie a way that there are clues for both possible endings littered anyway. It's definitely an important detail that this is the only time we see their faces, but it's not THE proof for the ending. They are all just theories. There is no answer because Nolan never settled for one
@@goth_fraggle I know, I was just giving my oppinion and my take of the movie! Like The Sopranos, it's ambiguous, but because I didn't see Tony die my oppinion is that he's alive. Thank God for the people that make these movies and shows so we can have these discussions!

Btw love the way yall edit it makes yalls videos that much more funny and entertaining!
A horror prequel would be nice to explore. When the dream technique isn’t perfected and a dreamer is stuck in limbo with a crazed projection chasing him and he has to go through layers waking up one by one with a child’s voice as his guide only to wake up and find out it’s his military instructors voice the whole time trying to wake him up from a 5minute test run but in the dream, it’s been 50 years.
Almost want a line from Tom Hardy saying “it would appear you pissed yourself darling” as soon as they got out, but I’m guessing that would be too goofy for a Nolan movie
James: "I love this movie more because I'm a father and can extremely relate to the main character's motivations." Mason: "Yeah but I love the suits so much!" James: ".... that's fair."
Isn't that the point? The only maze you can't solve is the one without a solution. That's what they needed, a maze someone couldn't solve, but one that they could cheat their way out of.
I think the main problem is not really taking advantage of the dream world during the action scenes and showing really weird dreams I don't know if people actually dream in that way I remember max Payne game it shows better dreams not in terms of craftiness, but they represent dreams better than this movie
He also has the best scene in the movie in that zero G hallway fight, which is wordless, as well as the following scene where he has to drag the group into the elevator and set the charges while they’re floating.
Crazy to think how this one movie from 2010 that goes only for two an a half hours has more originality, acting, inventive use of action, and substance than all the MCU combined. Goes to show that it's not about quantity.
The thing that bugs me about Inception is this: if you're going to fold a city in half on top of itself in the first act, then you better have some incredibly impressive things coming in the third act that will bend physics in vast and awe-inspiring ways. If anything, the hallway fight should've been first and led up to the city-bending. As is, the city-bending ends up being basically a throwaway gag and the rest of the movie seems anemic by comparison.
I disagree, while yes the city folding is VISUALLY the most impactful thing in the movie. The movie goes on to surpass that, not through visual but through the further development of its concept as we descend further and further into the dream layers. In which imagination is challenged as we simultaneously get answers for each plot point it’s amazing film making in my opinion
The point of those scenes was to show the limits of fanciful design when trying to disguise a dream as reality. The actual mission dreams are supposed to be as lifelike as possible because they are trying to make fisher belieive in the dream before the mr. charles gambit. Also, personally i did not find the city bending to be that interesting and much prefer that hallway fight to be the penultimate action set piece as it is.
So you are telling me that Robert Fischer would see a city bending and be like "Oh that happens everyday and I am not dreaming this is my everyday just as usual".......You seriously did not understand the movie
My favorite thing to do with a new TWP video is read the comments, see there’s an in-joke, and waiting for it in the video. Last week, eggs at lunch. This week, wee in a box.
On my recent quazzie rewatch of this majestic film, when the van flips and for whatever reason didn't qualify as a kick it made my brain go BWAAAAAAAAAAM
MITHYKA - they’re all seatbelted in pretty tightly. The ground isn’t being kicked out from beneath them; they’re spinning along with it (which is why Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character is doing the zero-G hallway fight) and all the other characters are a level deeper in the dream so the movement of it is so stretched out over time that they don’t perceive it in the same way (though it does cause the world to shake enough to cause avalanches). Remember they need an individual kick for each level of the dream to bring them up.
If Cobb has been using his dead wife’s totem for years now and not his own, shouldn’t that mean he doesn’t really know definitively what’s a dream and what’s reality then? And if Joker(Ledger) was in Inception he’d have 13 totems, all knives and lint lol
That totem might actually be the reason his wife keeps interfering in his dream missions! Making HIM the villain, even though nobody in the film thinks that...
The reason the top keeps spinning at the end is to suggest the true meaning of the film. So, as was said in the video, Inception is symbolic of the movie making process. Each member of the team represents a different person on a film crew. Movies are made to plant ideas in our heads. In the movie, dreams represent movies. As pointed out in Inception, dreams will just start and you sometimes don't remember how you got there. So do movies, you just hop into the adventure. So, when Cobb spins the top at the end, the "dream" (or movie) isn't over so the top doesn't stop. Or in other words, if you word it as "Is he in the real world or not?" the answer is "not", because he is in a movie and none of it is real. So what Christopher Nolan is suggesting here is that people who need an answer to the question are people who take movies way too seriously and movies become their reality.
Damn mason is on some next level costume game. Im pretty observant in films but its all in shots, editing, acting and pacing. But mason is thinking up comedy points and some suite fashion sense
Not only does it not matter if Cobb sees his totem fall in the end, it wouldn’t be any help if he did. 1) He’s told everyone how it works, and 2) why would anyone who isn’t him trap him in a dream world where tops just keep on spinning?It’s literally no indication of whether he’s dreaming or not.
I think the point is that nobody has thought of the physics of any particular totem so they wouldn’t know to implement that in a dream. If you have a totem that is always supposed to fall right even if you hit it left a dream designer might just treat every object with normal physics so it will fall left.
I heard that in inception 2: electric boogaloo they have to incept Freddy Krueger but it's super hard to do cos Freddy is just hopping around all these different dreams murdering kids so it's impossible to keep his attention for long enough to make an inception happen. Eventually they all die at the hands of a pissed off super well rested Freddy Krueger and no incepting takes place at all
I think that's the point. The rules aren't supposed to make sense. The movie is about Cobb's broken psyche and it's debatable that you're never not in the broken psyche of Cobb. Even the "real" world is full of jarring cuts and borderline nonsensical plot. I think the exposition that explains the barely coherent world of Inception is Cobb trying to make sense of the bullshit world he has escaped to deal with the death of his wife.
Loved this movie. There is a lot of exposition. But the world building is so cool and interesting, I find the exposition the best parts of the movie. It's also needed. I've known people that walked out of this move because the couldn't follow it (I surprised as well) but I think its harder to follow than we think, especially folks who don't watch a lot of science fiction or similar movies.
its an awesome movie but the narrative is actually kind hilarious when you think about it and the way its delivered.... "ah a dream within a dream!" "You cant go 3 levels! It's too unstable!" "Not with a sedative its not" "A powerful sedative!" I love the way the movie just re-writes the rules and takes suspension of disbelief to its logical extremes
If I have an overarching criticism of this movie, it's that it's set mostly in dreams, yet it has this intricate, rationalistic collection of *rules*. Nolan seems to think dreams work like clockwork, with predictable mechanics and uniform variations in time scale (even for dreams within dreams). And... dreams just aren't like that. They're way more batshit than this movie. So it's an intriguing Rube Goldberg contraption of a plot, but it just... doesn't seem convincingly dreamlike to me. That said, I saw it again recently and I think it came off better the second time.
I have a theory that Mombasa is actually a dream. That wall that DiCaprio is running through seems to become smaller for the chasers, and he is able to put a lot of things in their way.
What if Cobb was stuck on mals dream and because of that because she knows the wedding ring is his totem and when she killed herself she actually went to the real world and he stayed in her dream and he kept dreaming while mal actually went to the real world and because Mal believed the world wasn’t real, she killed herself on the dream but left her own totem behind and because she is in the real world, the totem stops spinning. Just a random theory I can’t put into words very good haha
The only thing unbelievable in this film is how well these adults sleep
I just spit out my coffee.😂
I dunno, people who inject things intravenously tend to sleep pretty heavily
Or how nobody dreams of anything really vivid or insane, just everyday action movies and tv shows.
Yeah that is one thing that’s always bugged me, how come nobody in this movie dreams up something insane as hell like being on a spaceship or monsters attacking the city...although they are in the dreams of a boring businessman so it kinda makes sense, pretty sure somebody who spends 90% of his time sitting in boardrooms doesn’t have much of an imagination
You mean the action they take in falling asleep or the sleep duration? Because you can see that they use intravenous meds to sleep.

Right, apart from Oppenheimer his movies are all just pulp fiction trash. Inception and Tenet being the worst examples.

Mol didn't go mad because she went to limbo, Mol was mad because that is what Leo's character thought of her. His consciousness brought his projection of her into the dream world.
Well she did originally go mad because she went into limbo.
That spinning hallway fight scene is still one of the coolest fight scenes I’ve seen recently in a movie.
Ooh spinny fighty stuff, so cool yeah.
"Inception" is just an infinitely rewatchable movie. I never get tired of it. I always want to see it. I've even watched it back-to-back! (something I've never even done with any other film ever made)
But I never want to see a sequel, because honestly... a sequel would RUIN this flick!
The did make a sequel, it was called Transformers The Last Knight!

I still don’t get how people think he might be dreaming at the end. The top wobbles wich it never does in the dreams. His children are older and look different. And if that isn’t enough there’s the whole wedding ring theory thing
It cuts just as the top starts to wobble, because that's all the confirmation you need. It was perfect.
I think it's quite obvious for Leo's character arc. Now he has now finally found solace whether he's dreaming or not; he can see his children and that's all that matters.
If he was dreaming the top would be meaningless anyways. He made it his totem while in the dream.
It wasn’t his totem, it was mals, Cobb may have gotten stuck in mals dream because you need three layers to get to limbo and you need to kill yourself in limbo and then in the next layers to come back, but Cobb only killed hi self once when he got ran over by a train, that leads me to believe that when mal killed herself she may have gone to an upper level, and because mal is now in the real world, their children seem to get older because mal is projecting them and because mal was in the real world, her totem didn’t work
Because it’s a nice little mindfuck to end the film with
6:08 Mason being a man out of time makes me laugh so much 😂
I always thought that the point of the final scene was the camera focuses on the top until the moment it starts to wobble, and then cuts, because that's all the confirmation you need.
That, and he actually sees his children's faces.
To me, the point of the movie is it doesn't matter to Cob if he is still dreaming or not when he finally meet his kids.. There are many small details during the movie that makes it unsure if he is in the real world or still dreaming, which makes the viewer wonder ALL the time. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. The ending was PERFECT.
I've often tried to imagine myself in a similar situation. If I ended up in a situation where I achieve true happiness/enlightenment etc, and I'm shown that it's just a dream world. I wouldn't mind being stuck in that state, as that would become my new reality. My mind would make it real.
I've heard similar stories when people describe their experience doing crazy psychedelics like DMT. They are literally transported mentally to another dimension, and live their "lives" sometimes for years in that place.....although they are only gone for 30 minutes in the real world. That is so mindlbowing I can't even wrap my head around it. The movie reflects the same issue to a certain point, which is why it's my favorite of all time.

I saw this in theaters 3 times. I never see a movie more than once, except for Nolan films. They’re just incredible in theaters.
I watched it again last week in IMAX, was brilliant to see it again on the big screen.
The dark knight rises plane scene royally screwed my ear up when the drums kick in.
I just watched it twice this week alone, at my local IMAX replaying it for the tenth anniversary. Still holds up!!
@@MrJagermeister it's a classic

@@dankerbell what spice, paprika?
In a dream you just appear but at the end we see Di Caprio leaving the plane, picking up his luggage, leaving the Airport, taking a cap, arriving at his house and thats the way Nolan is giving us a ans answer

0:10 here you go bro 👍
This is late, but sorry James, Mason knows about the most important and fundamental aspect of this movie, and that is the drip. Fuck Cobb going back to his children, drip is more important than family, lmao.
I’d love to dispute this but you’re right
You know the ending is real life because the kids turn their heads. Otherwise Dom could only remember untill the point he had to leave in a hurry. The kids are also different, because they grew a bit since his departure.
You're saying he couldn't dream about his kids turning their heads? That is a crazy limitation.
@@ThreadBomb he couldn't see beyond the point when he left in a hurry. You can't remember something that didn't happen. In his elevator he has stored memories, one of them is that exact moment, where he left in a hurry, the last image he has of his children. In the end of the movie, not only the children turn their heads, they're both different, a little older.
@@franciscomenano9900 that's not proof though. Nolan deliberately made the movie a way that there are clues for both possible endings littered anyway.
It's definitely an important detail that this is the only time we see their faces, but it's not THE proof for the ending. They are all just theories. There is no answer because Nolan never settled for one
@@goth_fraggle I know, I was just giving my oppinion and my take of the movie! Like The Sopranos, it's ambiguous, but because I didn't see Tony die my oppinion is that he's alive. Thank God for the people that make these movies and shows so we can have these discussions!

Btw love the way yall edit it makes yalls videos that much more funny and entertaining!
I’m really glad they never turned Inception into a multi-movie franchise, with numerous and needless sequels
A horror prequel would be nice to explore. When the dream technique isn’t perfected and a dreamer is stuck in limbo with a crazed projection chasing him and he has to go through layers waking up one by one with a child’s voice as his guide only to wake up and find out it’s his military instructors voice the whole time trying to wake him up from a 5minute test run but in the dream, it’s been 50 years.
Dayo Olaleye That’s really close to the plot of that one Black Mirror episode
They stayed true to their words "Can we not talk about the batman movies?"
So true, kings.
Saw this movie in high school in the theatres and it blew my little teenager mind away. Watching it in the cinema made it way better.
When the rain stopped in the dream...did he piss himself?
Almost want a line from Tom Hardy saying “it would appear you pissed yourself darling” as soon as they got out, but I’m guessing that would be too goofy for a Nolan movie
Good point

Inception is my favourite movie to this day. Even though I don't really like the "draw a maze" scene. She simply made it unsolveable!
Isn't that the point? The only maze you can't solve is the one without a solution. That's what they needed, a maze someone couldn't solve, but one that they could cheat their way out of.
How did you post this a day ago?
@@elliott4875 BIG SANDWICH GAAAAAANG BABY
It wasnt unsolvable, it was confusing and novel and was a nice way of showing her ability to think outside the box... Literally lol.
That was the point, Joseph Gordon Levitt character said to make a paradox so its unsolvable
The virgin “I’m a father” vs the chad “I like suits”
Some problems with this movie: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character exists purely for exposition; this is a 4-hour movie packed into 2 hours.
um the movie is almost 3 hours long lol
Yeah but thats usually better than a 2 hour movie stretched to 4 hours....
Not necessarily
I think the main problem is not really taking advantage of the dream world during the action scenes and showing really weird dreams I don't know if people actually dream in that way I remember max Payne game it shows better dreams not in terms of craftiness, but they represent dreams better than this movie
He also has the best scene in the movie in that zero G hallway fight, which is wordless, as well as the following scene where he has to drag the group into the elevator and set the charges while they’re floating.
The movie that made movie trailer music annoying for the next several years.
BWWWWWWAAMMMP
In a world...BBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH
To this day
Fun fact: You can tell that DiCaprio's wife is a dream the whole time because she is over 25
Crazy to think how this one movie from 2010 that goes only for two an a half hours has more originality, acting, inventive use of action, and substance than all the MCU combined. Goes to show that it's not about quantity.
I really want to see the movie of bullies following Leo around now. That movie sounds like pure gold.
The thing that bugs me about Inception is this: if you're going to fold a city in half on top of itself in the first act, then you better have some incredibly impressive things coming in the third act that will bend physics in vast and awe-inspiring ways. If anything, the hallway fight should've been first and led up to the city-bending. As is, the city-bending ends up being basically a throwaway gag and the rest of the movie seems anemic by comparison.
I disagree, while yes the city folding is VISUALLY the most impactful thing in the movie. The movie goes on to surpass that, not through visual but through the further development of its concept as we descend further and further into the dream layers. In which imagination is challenged as we simultaneously get answers for each plot point it’s amazing film making in my opinion
Like a giant purple interdimensional being?
I think it's just slapped in there to get people to understand what crazy whacky antics these dreamer men can conjure
The point of those scenes was to show the limits of fanciful design when trying to disguise a dream as reality. The actual mission dreams are supposed to be as lifelike as possible because they are trying to make fisher belieive in the dream before the mr. charles gambit. Also, personally i did not find the city bending to be that interesting and much prefer that hallway fight to be the penultimate action set piece as it is.
So you are telling me that Robert Fischer would see a city bending and be like "Oh that happens everyday and I am not dreaming this is my everyday just as usual".......You seriously did not understand the movie
Mason's confused "What?" gets me every time. Lol
Ben from Canada sneaked the Presto card in there. Respect.

My favorite thing to do with a new TWP video is read the comments, see there’s an in-joke, and waiting for it in the video. Last week, eggs at lunch. This week, wee in a box.
On my recent quazzie rewatch of this majestic film, when the van flips and for whatever reason didn't qualify as a kick it made my brain go BWAAAAAAAAAAM
MITHYKA - they’re all seatbelted in pretty tightly. The ground isn’t being kicked out from beneath them; they’re spinning along with it (which is why Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character is doing the zero-G hallway fight) and all the other characters are a level deeper in the dream so the movement of it is so stretched out over time that they don’t perceive it in the same way (though it does cause the world to shake enough to cause avalanches). Remember they need an individual kick for each level of the dream to bring them up.
Ahhh but It's not simultaneous with the other dream layers... cLeaRly uR iQ iS tOo lOw tO cOmpRehEnd tHis mAstErPieCe
What if Yousef ate a giant burrito before the flight? Would there be a guy following everyone around playing the tuba?
If Cobb has been using his dead wife’s totem for years now and not his own, shouldn’t that mean he doesn’t really know definitively what’s a dream and what’s reality then? And if Joker(Ledger) was in Inception he’d have 13 totems, all knives and lint lol
That totem might actually be the reason his wife keeps interfering in his dream missions! Making HIM the villain, even though nobody in the film thinks that...
The reason the top keeps spinning at the end is to suggest the true meaning of the film. So, as was said in the video, Inception is symbolic of the movie making process. Each member of the team represents a different person on a film crew. Movies are made to plant ideas in our heads. In the movie, dreams represent movies. As pointed out in Inception, dreams will just start and you sometimes don't remember how you got there. So do movies, you just hop into the adventure. So, when Cobb spins the top at the end, the "dream" (or movie) isn't over so the top doesn't stop. Or in other words, if you word it as "Is he in the real world or not?" the answer is "not", because he is in a movie and none of it is real. So what Christopher Nolan is suggesting here is that people who need an answer to the question are people who take movies way too seriously and movies become their reality.
either that's a really clever idea or dumb as shit, i ain't smart enough to know
@@alexmcintosh3397 same
Damn mason is on some next level costume game. Im pretty observant in films but its all in shots, editing, acting and pacing. But mason is thinking up comedy points and some suite fashion sense
Not only does it not matter if Cobb sees his totem fall in the end, it wouldn’t be any help if he did. 1) He’s told everyone how it works, and 2) why would anyone who isn’t him trap him in a dream world where tops just keep on spinning?It’s literally no indication of whether he’s dreaming or not.
I think the point is that nobody has thought of the physics of any particular totem so they wouldn’t know to implement that in a dream. If you have a totem that is always supposed to fall right even if you hit it left a dream designer might just treat every object with normal physics so it will fall left.
The hallway fight scene is my favorite part of the movie. Especially after watching the behind the scenes footage.
Not only are there Inception Exposition posters now, there are also Inceptshawn posters. Gold star to you, internet.
Love to see the PRESTO card. Shout out your Toronto based editor.
I heard that in inception 2: electric boogaloo they have to incept Freddy Krueger but it's super hard to do cos Freddy is just hopping around all these different dreams murdering kids so it's impossible to keep his attention for long enough to make an inception happen. Eventually they all die at the hands of a pissed off super well rested Freddy Krueger and no incepting takes place at all
i must've watched this movie like 50 times the year it came out and the first 4 of those viewings is trying to understand the dream rules.
Not enough exposition? Perhaps you should watch it on Blu-Ray with director's commentary on.
I think that's the point. The rules aren't supposed to make sense. The movie is about Cobb's broken psyche and it's debatable that you're never not in the broken psyche of Cobb. Even the "real" world is full of jarring cuts and borderline nonsensical plot. I think the exposition that explains the barely coherent world of Inception is Cobb trying to make sense of the bullshit world he has escaped to deal with the death of his wife.
@@jstani21 what are you talking about? How is the plot nonsensical?
"If you haven't watched Inception, but you've somehow suffered through this film"
They're speaking directly to me lmao.
Loved this movie. There is a lot of exposition. But the world building is so cool and interesting, I find the exposition the best parts of the movie. It's also needed. I've known people that walked out of this move because the couldn't follow it (I surprised as well) but I think its harder to follow than we think, especially folks who don't watch a lot of science fiction or similar movies.
9:03 came back for the Micheal Caine impression 😂
Interstellar is my personal fave Nolan movie, I’m looking forward to next week!
its an awesome movie but the narrative is actually kind hilarious when you think about it and the way its delivered....
"ah a dream within a dream!"
"You cant go 3 levels! It's too unstable!"
"Not with a sedative its not"
"A powerful sedative!"
I love the way the movie just re-writes the rules and takes suspension of disbelief to its logical extremes
10:34 I have that exact Batman Pez dispenser, so I guess that’s my totem now
Does it come in black?
What happens if you are sick in a dream? Are you sick in other dreams, and then it becomes sickception?
If I have an overarching criticism of this movie, it's that it's set mostly in dreams, yet it has this intricate, rationalistic collection of *rules*. Nolan seems to think dreams work like clockwork, with predictable mechanics and uniform variations in time scale (even for dreams within dreams). And... dreams just aren't like that. They're way more batshit than this movie. So it's an intriguing Rube Goldberg contraption of a plot, but it just... doesn't seem convincingly dreamlike to me. That said, I saw it again recently and I think it came off better the second time.
I have a theory that Mombasa is actually a dream. That wall that DiCaprio is running through seems to become smaller for the chasers, and he is able to put a lot of things in their way.
Dom Cobb is probably the dumbest character name in cinema history.
Dom of Coblin.
Dominick Cobb was probably named after one of the main characters in Nolan's debut film The Following
Dumber than Cade Yeager? Or Harry Hole?
Dominick Cobb
It's short for Dominic CornOnThe Cobblin
"Give it a bloody go" is the moto Nike uses in Australia.
What if Cobb was stuck on mals dream and because of that because she knows the wedding ring is his totem and when she killed herself she actually went to the real world and he stayed in her dream and he kept dreaming while mal actually went to the real world and because Mal believed the world wasn’t real, she killed herself on the dream but left her own totem behind and because she is in the real world, the totem stops spinning. Just a random theory I can’t put into words very good haha
The grass is greener on the other side -- unless you're Christopher No-Lawn
