**EDIT**
So the video was claimed after being published, so there may be about a minute of silence at the end of the reaction. This was because of the claim and TH-cam having to mute that section. So I'm sorry about that.

Thanks for watching everyone! We have a few episodes of Daredevil completed and available early on Patreon if you're interested. Daredevil won the Patreon poll for next TV show.
After this movie, we're going to be watching the Dark Knight trilogy (which will also be up early on Patreon). I hope you'll check it out!

when are you doing more clone wars?
If you're gonna watch daredevil you should definitely watch the punisher afterwards, personally wayy better and harder hitting (literally 😂)
Eternals review when?
Watch "SARDAR UDHAM"
It the most underrated masterpiece of this year...
This is a must watch...
Watch sixth sense
I was a concept artist on Inception, so I'm biased! I loved the movie. Haha- I do remember in early meetings how lost I was in Christopher Nolan's genius. I was confused, excited, and at times, blown away at the things he wanted to create. He was influenced by MC Escher mazes and puzzles as well as other influences I had never even heard of. I'm so proud to have been a part of that film, and I'm glad you both liked it, Holden and Jen. Cheers!
Good! Maybe you can clarify something: were ANY of these dreams Fishers? If so, I missed it. Thought he was pulled into other peoples’ dreams. Such an awesomely confusing plot, not surprised if I’m wrong.
@@glitterspray It's been awhile since I've seen it, but it's a heist movie where the thieves enter the mind of Fisher. But If I remember correctly, Cobb's personal demons intertwine with the mission causing problems for the heist to be successful. You think you were confused. I worked on this movie listening to Christopher Nolan explain this stuff. Then I sat at my desk thinking-- how am I gonna do this??? Haha. My advice is to see it a couple more times. Sometimes you have to see a movie like this a few times to wrap your head around it. Best of luck and Happy Thanksgiving.
Got to watch Nolan's The Prestige. "It's Juicy"
Still my fav Nolan movie
Extremely juicy
My fav Nolan movie, it inspires me to be a Director/story teller to see the joy of audience being fooled .
This comment ⬆️⬆️⬆️
That and interstellar… easily my two favorite films from him
fun fact: Dom Cobb is seen wearing a wedding ring in each scene in which he's dreaming, in the end he was not wearing one, so the ending is probably real.
plus u never see the faces of his children in the dreams... only till the end of the film do u see their faces
mmhmm. People forget, just because he spins the top a lot, but that is not his Totem, that is his ex wife's totem. His own Wedding Ring is his.
FF: Michael Caine asked Nolan which scenes are real world and which aren't after he read the script and as he was having trouble following when the cut offs were so Nolan said to Caine that any scene he is in i.e Caine's character - that scene is real world. So most likely the ending is real and the spinner begins to topple eventually and we don't see it, also his kids in the end are wearing different clothes to the ones he sees in his memories/flashbacks - they're also slightly older.
@@ilikeRUNE we never saw the faces of the children because Cobb chose not to look at them so he didn't think they were real inside of a dream.
People forget the top was Mal's totem not Cobb's. His was his wedding ring which is why it is only ever there when he is dreaming, because in his dreams Mal is still alive
That hotel hallway sequence is still one of my favorite action scenes - why? Because it is not just CGI. It feels so much more real than most blockbuster CGI. I love Nolan for that.
it's zero cgi, they built that hallway and rotated it like 2001 a space odyssey
@@StayFractalesque Yeah, I know, but I don’t know if a few cables were deleted.
@@obenohnebohne No cables!
I’ve been dying for Jen to start LOTR but I’m happy this one is finally here!
Im still guessing its gonna be a December thing for the 20th anniversary. Here's to hoping!!!
No, you've been dying ever since you were born.
A good theory is that the spinning top can't be trusted, since it was mal's totem, and that it never became cobb's totem.
Cobb's totem was, is and always will be his wedding ring, which appears or dissappear given the scene.
Meaning the ending's real despite whatever the spinning top says
How about the kids that don't age?
The kids didn’t age, bro still a sleep
Michael Caine once asked Nolan if the ending was real or still a dream and basically Nolan replied, if you're in the scene, Michael, then it's real.
@@dragonseil53 Kids don't age? IMDb says that there are different, older actors for the children, they would still need to look similar of course, otherwise it would risk confusing the more... "basic" audiences. Caine straight up confirmed it and then there's the wedding ring theory.
I mean, kids grow up fast, sure, but people say this like they wanted the kids to be full on teenagers. The timeline is purposely vague because of this.
That depends because the spinning top is the only totem that we see displaying an unusual behavior in the dream. We don't know what the other totems do. I would assume the purpose of the totem is only to let you know that it's the real thing. You can't let anyone touch it, because then they would know it too. It's something that you have to know very deeply to be certain that it's yours. Mal died, so Cobb could get to know the particulars of the totem to make it work for himself
Michael Caine already confirmed via Nolan that the ending is real. Basically, Caine explained that Nolan told him that any scene with Caine’s character is the real world. Nolan apparently thought this would be obvious to audiences.
It really is obvious. I don t get why people are debating over this
@@ahmiit_ looking back it's obvious, but I had never realized until reading this comment...
It is obvious. The only reason there’s a debate surrounding it is because the movie ends before we get to the spinning top topple over.
@@Dan-tr5kw it started to wobble at the end. That show its slows down
Also regardless if it is real or not. Cobb doesn't care. He's happy. And is satisfied enough that weather the top topples or not, it doesn't matter any more. Because he's home. And he's happy in his minds mind.
Holden saying "bitches be crazy, that's why" just made my fucking day. Thank you Holden, my man🤣🤣
I was surprised that Jen had no reaction to that and just let it go
I had to go back to made sure he said that
@@Mutantman02 Maybe Jen missed it because she was distracted by the scene, but she also had chances to catch during the editing of the video. Is it possible that she agreed with it in that case?
@Luis Frauca 14:28
Came here to make sure someone said it lmao
The ending was that Cobb really made it back to his kids.
I read somewhere that when the actor Michael Caine read the script he was amazed but was confused and asked the director how he would know if the scene he was in was a dream or reality. the director said all the scenes that Michael Caine was in are in the real world.
We would never see Michael Caine in any of the dream sequences. He’s sort of the “anchor to reality”
Edited: Also, most the cast from Inception were in the Dark Knight Rises 😊
Ellen Page wasn’t in there either. And Ken Watanabe was in Begins so I guess kind of? Lol
(and ellen page)
thing is, how long was cob stuck out of the country unable to see his kids? its a few years right? yet they havent aged?
honestly love how nolan brings back so many of the same actors for projects. kinda shows that he really likes them as actors and probably people, and trusts them to help him make his movie the way he want it made
@@thebobman56 we never saw their faces before. And I thought they were different actors.
This movie always reminds me how underrated of an actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is. After seeing the fight scenes in this movie, I was always hoping he'd get his own action film.
Looper???
I thought we might have got a nightwing film after the dark Knight trilogy, would have been cool
Inception was such a dope movie. I thought it was cool how the deeper they went the more steps they had to synchronize. I loved how Joesph Gordon-levitt had to manufacture a kick in zero gravity by putting everyone in an elevator and using a C4 charge as rocket propellant so that everyone would get pushed by the elevatorup to least a few G's and then when it stops pushing it would be like getting dropped back into zero G which works as the kick.
The “Jesus Christ” when Mal jumps gets me every time.
Would totally be on board with you guys reacting to everything from Nolan. From Memento, to The Dark Knight Trilogy, to this, Interstellar, Dunkirk and Tenet. Even The Prestige and Insomnia. He just doesn't miss with his films
I feel everyone is subconsciously excluding Tenet where some consider his first miss.
@@sniperj9 I wouldn't call it a miss. He's just so good that everyone hypes any movie he makes and tries to put it on par. I feel like no one gives Dunkirk enough credit either. Every movie he makes is great in its own way.
@@sniperj9 when watching Tenet for the first time i was ready to try to understand it until the scientist in the beginning was saying "Don't try to understand it". It really helped me enjoy the movie, and also in my second watching of the film recently i tried to understand some of the things that i didn't catch the first time and my god the film is so interesting!
His first film, Following, is pretty great too.
@@sniperj9 tenet fucking kicks ass
Christopher Nolan spent 10 years writing the script for this movie.
No, it was written over a ten year period, there's a difference.
@@RighteousBrother is there? Do you think other writers..just write 24/7? With no breaks? Lol
Prestige is my favorite of the Nolan movies. It's "easier" to follow and story is veeeery juicy indeed.
I dunno, I think both (really, all Nolan films) benefit from multiple viewings.. the prestige was almost as mysterious and layered as inception imo.. inception is more technical in it's editing and cerebral demand, but the Prestige is undoubtedly one of Nolan's greatest, if not the best..
prestige is good but far simpler than inception.
Fischer wouldn't recognize that they were in his dreams the same way we never really remember the faces of other strangers on our own dreams. Our brain just takes faces we've seen and uses them to fill out a crowd in our subconscious, they don't really represent anyone in particular.
Exactly, he saw them before his dream on the plane, so the likeliness he'd just 'use' their faces to fill the people in his dreams is very high.
why is the school teacher in my dreams always my mum?? 🤦♂️
Jen: This is Juicy.
Nolan: We Must go deeper.
this is a sex joke right... i need to clarify i havnt interpreted something else
@@kitadam1923 Who's to say?
The soundtrack of this movie is phenomenal, and it does get a lot of praise and attention. Time - inception has 120 million views on youtube, which is more than any other hans zimmer score, and zimmer has done a lot of iconic soundtracks so that says a lot
Edit: it has even more views than imperial march
My favorite detail about the song is it's speed - almost 60 BPM, which is one beat per second. That's such a perfect way of encapsulating the title into the song.
Even though everyone believes the ending is open ended, from what I see it is supposed to be real because of two things:
- The spinning top wobbles in the end. Just like it should do before stopping. We never see the top wobbling in the dream.
- Cobb sees the faces of his children.
Although Nolan's intention is that in the end it doesn't matter because finally he is with his children.
Old souls, Mombasa, and Time are fantastic piece of music. A masterpiece of a film.
No one's mentioning the fact that Holden's eating a Lunchable?
Oh, and it doesn't matter whether the top falls in the end or not. Cobb believes he's returned to his kids -- whether he actually did is irrelevant. Cobb himself has been incepted.
Michael Caine once shared in a panel that Christopher Nolan told him that if he was in the scene, it was reality. This means that the ending is reality, not a dream. Thank god!
I think it may not be the reality but in his mind, it was. So he convinced himself that it was reality, just like his wife convinced herself that killing herself was the solution to reach reality.
Leos totem is his ring, not the spindel. Now go see it again…
Maybe Nolan had planted that idea in Caine's head through inception
@@martinmeyer7833 facts, forgot about that, if the spindel was his totem, he couldn't tell it to anyone
the beauty of the ending is that its up in the air.. the greatest finales of all time are those ambiguous cliffhangers.. the audience can decide their own resolution.. I know I know, Nolan said the ending wasn't meant to be ambiguous after all, but I think it's more fun to let the question linger.. is cobb really home, or was the real inception executed by Mal onto Cobb the entire time.. what about that chase scene where Cobb has to squeeze through alley? tell me that wasn't intentionally depicted as a dreamlike sequence.. regardless of the ending, that single scene alone still makes me wonder about the whole thing.. 🤷♂️
People don't give Jonathan Nolan credits. He was the co writer with his brother on most of these movies.
True, but he didn't write Inception or Tenet. Those were 100% Chris.
You should watch Paprika, it's an animated movie about a machine that can control dreams. The visuals are bizarre and amazing.
I love the metaphor of inception to movie making. Most of the main characters represent movie role like writer, director, actor, special effects. And they go through all this work to inspire the character representing the audience.
Jen: "I'm glad she's dead"
Holden: "Bitches be crazy, that's why" 🤣🤣
To be fair, the real one most likely was much nicer. Remember that this is just a projection of Cobbs own guilt tormenting him.
I remember going to see this having no idea what it was and leaving the theater with a massive headache but realizing what a genius Christopher Nolan truly is
Mal: I filed a letter with our attorney, explaining how I'm fearful for my safety...
Jen: Why?
Holden: Bitches be crazy, that's why...
LOL, Holden wins the "most unhelpful answer of the year" award...
Funny Jen mentioned it -- this movie was often compared to Matrix when it first came out in terms of its importance (and how this movie is "superior" to Matrix, according to some). And Leo worked with Nolan to help flesh out the "emotional" component to the film in general with his character's arc. So it's nice that those touches were acknowledged in the commentary. :)
You should show Jen interstellar if she hasn’t seen it yet
imagine not having seen interstellar yet!
She mentioned Interstellar at the end commentary, so she seems to have watched it already. I don't know if there's a reaction though
Interstellar is my least favourite Nolan movie, but I agree she should watch it.
I have a theory that all of Nolan's films that include: The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, and TENET are all linked in the same universe.
Or maybe movies are just movies and not everything ever made is linked with everything else ever made. Unless your theory is that Michael Caine is an interdimensional wizzard that is 400 years old in that universe. Nolan doesn't look like the type of guy that would ever make that kind of reveal at any point in his life.
that would be crazy
What about Memento?
not everything has to be connceted
I can’t help but LOVE (1) Jen’s brain exploration and (2) Holden holding onto the idea that the ‘husband’ was in the right…. 😂😂 Get ready for marriage, brother! Fold ‘em when you’re losing, brother - and congrats on the engagement. ❤️❤️
This is definitely one of those mind bending movies for sure. Sooooo good.
I believe his best movie is The Prestige, also Interstellar is a really good one, it gets emotional in many points of the movie
The Prestige is my favorite movie. Interstellar is also better than Inception.
The prestige is really good, feel like not alot of people I talk to have ever heard of it compared to his other films
The Prestige is definitely my fave Nolan film. 💯
I think The Prestige is a great movie but I don’t think it compares to Inception and Interstellar personally🙌🏻
@@Jinxx223 we all have our own takes on it. 🙂 I respect your opinion. 🙂
I absolutely love that you guys were in the middle of a remodel or appliance swap or whatever when you made this. That is so real and wholesome. Your high quality video and tight production format could make your vids seem contrived (not your fault, just the reality of high quality production), but the real life stuff in the background brings the audience in with you. Great decisions and great review.
If Jen wants to watch more content about "shared dreams/shared realities", you should definitely watch the "San Junipero" episode from Black Mirror
Random fact I haven't seen anyone mention yet: When Cobb go meet Eames (aka "Venom"/Tom Hardy) he's holding a Casino chip and Cobb tells him something like "no matter how much you rub them they won't multiply", because that's Eames' totem. He rubs his chip in his dream and it "split" into two chips.
3:02 one of my favorite bits in the movie is this part, and it took quite a few rewatches for me to notice it.
Here, after Cobb's left, Saito and Mal are discussing Cobb's next actions, and Mal's face is blank. Expressionless.
As Saito opens the envelope to make sure the information is still there, we get another shot of her face, and it's still blank.
After Saito opens the envelope, and realizes he's been duped, he screams in anger, and we get another shot of Mal. This time, she's smiling warmly toward where Cobb left.
Even as she betrays him, she can't help but admire Cobb for pulling one over on Saito that quickly.
Christopher Nolan is absolutely a master of his craft. In my personal opinion, The Prestige is my favorite movie of all time. Not just the story itself, but the way it is told. Another movie that you really have to pay attention.
I literally laughed out loud when the animation of Jen's head exploding happened. That was hilarious. Nice edit.
This movie and V for vendetta really delve into the thoughts behind how powerful an idea can be
Interstellar has to be on the horizon!
Its impossible
@@ankurvinodiya5628 it's necessary
They’ve both seen it
Couple of things to mention here. First, when I saw this movie in the theater with my wife and the hallway sequence with JGL played out, I immediately turned to her and said "Did you just see that?" as if she wasn't sitting next to me watching the same movie, my jaw was on the floor so much after seeing that. Second, the end of this produced an incredible reaction in me just as the end of Prestige did when the screen cut to black and the credits rolled as Thom Yorke's Analyse played. Nolan is a premier filmmaker , and Black Swan by Aronofsky similarly amazed me with its dynamic camerawork in the ballet scenes, man we are fortunate with our directors these days. Nolan, Aronofsky, Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright, Fincher, Denis Villenueve, good God I wish each of them would get as much hype as superhero movies, they are all amazing and their work isn't getting the attention it deserves
"Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"
-Edgar Allan Poe
Her small “whahhht” and confused face @ 20:52 is so funny🤣
Love the soundtrack to this. Hans Zimmer in general is incredible.
The music was also perfect
Lol the venom voice when Tom hardy's character was fighting caught me off guard.
"bitches be crazy thats why" 😂
“A dream within a dream…”
“ᵍᵒᵒᵈⁱᵉ”
One of my favorite movies from Nolan. Glad you guys picked this for reaction!
Remember: the spinning top was Mal's totem. Cobb's totem was his wedding ring.
When he's dreaming he wears it, when he's awake he didn't.
In the end he was not wearing, so it was real
That's just a theory.
@@vinnicinhus44 actually no. You can see the wedding ring allways when he's dreaming and when he's awake there's no ring
@K C Thanks!
@@DanielOliveira-pn1rg yes, still a theory tho. Doesn't mean that it's his totem. Ariadne said herself that he tries to keep her alive in the dreams, because they're still together, so the ring becomes part of himself there.
Cillian Murphy is such an amazing actor!
If you want to see a movie with him, Chris Evans, and Benedict Wong (Wong from Dr. Strange) then check out "Sunshine". It's really good!
“Audriandre” 😂 Holden butchered that lmao
Inception is a 10/10 for me and only gets better with each viewing.
I'm SO glad that it's done well in theaters, and I encourage everyone still to go support the theatrical release.. but might we get a Dune reaction on the channel Holden?? :D lol. Would be curious to see the different levels of investment from the group. :) have a good one!
The Prestige next then Memento. Both are amazing Nolan movies! Memento is the movie that made Nolan famous
Do you do TV shows? Westworld, especially season 1, has a similar confusing vibe where you really have to pay attention, every answer they give also raises two more questions and it all comes together at the end and changes your perspective on the entire show. Also it can provoke existential thoughts like this movie. If Jen likes this then she'd probably like Westworld too, I'd love to see it!
Jen figured out the plot of this movie right away.
"What the heck is going on?"
Also, the sound was off when she said something, right when I realized something I never thought of. So sorry if this is a repeat of Jens question but....how did Cobb and Saito wake from limbo? Did they kill each other? Wouldn't that send them even further down.....or maybe ACTUALLY kill them?
I like the theory that Mal is actually alive and we don't see her in the actual real world while Cobb is the one still stuck in his multi-layer dreams. The whole movie is still in Cobb's dreams and we never see the real world where Mal woke up. The real tell is that Cobb and Mal's kids never aged and are wearing the same clothes even at the end.
What
De
Fok
Took me so long to process this while reading
I’ve always stuck to the theory that Cobb’s totem is his wedding ring. Which in the last shot, he had. (Mal’s totem is the top). So he was not dreaming, and could finally be w his kids.
No no no he woke up the movie ended he woke up NO NO STOP IT I put this to bed in my mind already don’t do this to me!!!…… I gotta watch this again lol
@@oliviarogers3559 you can hear it start to topple too.. lol
didn't nolan confirm that cobb wears a ring in dreams and not in reality? and we see no ring in the ending?
Some hints point to it all being a dream, unless they’re intentionally misleading you. Michael Caine saying “Come back to reality, Dom” at the university. When Dom is running away and gets stuck in that alley, that always made me think its a dream because it always feels like you struggle to run or break free in dreams.
An amazing amazing movie and the music score is just jaw dropping!
The inception joke when the movie starts playing and the screen is just you guys is so underrated and I’m mad no one else has mentioned it😂
It's been debated that everything from the scene where Cobb tests the sleeping drug on through the end of the movie was ALL a dream. The thing is, the top wasn't Cobb's totem, it was his wife. His totem was his wedding ring, which is why it appears and disappears in different scenes. When he is wearing it, he is in a dream. It's missing when he is awake.
Can’t wait for “My girlfriend watches interstellar” to pop up on my notifications! Nolan is great.
When will you y’all do more clone wars?
33:23: weeeeell, there’s “Dreamscape”…from the early ‘80s.
I honestly can’t remember much about it…I watched it once as a kid. I do remember that Dennis Quaid and Steven Spielberg’s wife is in it. And it had something to do with politics and going into other’s dreams.
Ok. It looks like they gave up on Clone Wars.
It does unfortunately seem like that could be the case, which would be disappointing. I enjoy their content but really wanted to see those reactions.
Yeah they said they are going to watch it in their own time and do some reviews, we really need them to get to best episodes so they react again.
@@tommagnone3526 wow. That sucks.
@@TheAvaTarek1011 hopefully they get through season 2 soon and realise the increase in quality and that it improves Star Wars massively that they start reactions when they start doing season 3
@@tommagnone3526 fingers crossed
Holden love all your videos. After 5 times watching this movie the errors are just so hard to ignore, the logic of the kick and how to wake up just goes out the window once the mission starts.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Glad Jen enjoyed it. And the score for this movie is just masterful. Time (the song that plays during the end sequence of the movie) is my favorite score of all time, it fit so perfectly and stirred so many emotions.
The cast of this film is soooo damn attractive!! Leo, JGL (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Tom Hardy looking like an absolute stud, etc everyone is just so pretty to look at
Nolan never gave us the short stick of his cinematographic inventiveness, can't blame for that, but can't help but wish he'd give us as emotionally gripping story as this one ever again (looking at you, Tenet). Thanks for the reaction and happy New Year!
Great video as always and I just had to say that I'm verrrry excited for Jen to watch the Dark Knight Trilogy
I'm in the camp that Maul was right. She's not dead and woke up when she jumped out the window. Because in that scene when Cobb is trying to prevent her from jumping, he says "Step back inside" which makes no sense. If she's across from him in another building, the sensible thing to say is "Go back inside." So she was probably hanging out the window of their suite, but in dreams sometimes things don't make sense like geography, but we accept it.
The struttin Leo meme in the thumbnail is LITERALLY my favorite meme of all time to this day! Also you guess should check out a fantastic Danny Boyle film called Sunshine.
This is just one of those "perfect" movies, I have no other way of describing it.
People don't realize that by the end, Cobb has spent *two lifetimes* in limbo. Once on his own with Mal, the other to find Saito.
Holden and Jen talking over each other about the cause of Mal's suicide was delightful, and likely just a taste of off-camera discussion.
Often we casually use the phrase "It makes you think" when we talk about movies but the story of INCEPTION was debated and debated for months after release. It truly was a film which sparked nuanced discussion about so many ideas.
In that way - and this is not a new take - Nolan "incepted" us to think about his movie, to the point of obsession for some, for much longer after than the average movie ever could.
In that way, it is inarguably one of the finest films ever committed to screen.
This is my favorite movie ever! Seeing you and Jen talk about it made my day!
This is my favorite movie of all time. I have done lucid dreaming before I know how the feeling is when something unreal feels real the emotions and feels of the dream looks real. I loved this concept very complicated I watched 3 times before I could understand the movie ever since then I have watched it more times than I can remember and every time I enjoy it more. I agree with Jen Nolan is one of my favorite directors his movies does require critical thinking which I enjoy.
Juicy, need to watch all the Nolan movies!
Michael Caine is the totem for the audience. Every time you see him, the world is real.
Known fun fact, just like the initials of each character, Paige's character is called "Ariadne", which in greek mythology, gave Thesseus the garn - Ariadne's thread, the maze Paige's character was drawing on paper - so he could find his way out of the labyrinth after he deafeated the minotaur. The devil is in details ;).
@22:35 when Jen found out Cobb incepted Mal and was shocked, the epic gopher cinematic music popped in my head! Great reaction / review as always guys. Love the channel!
I think it is real because you finally get to see the kids' faces at the end - you hadn't previously. Another interpretation is that he is finally at peace so he doesn't wait to see if the totem falls or not.
This movie has a ton of amazing talent in it. It's such a good movie.
Jen was literally me when I saw this movie in high school it only gets better with occasional rewatches
The big grand fan theory is that you never know what his personal totem is all along. Turns out it’s supposedly his wedding ring. He has it on when he’s dreaming and doesn’t when he’s awake. Nolan loves to throw in the last little twist subtly rather than hand it to the audience. But if that fan theory holds water then he’s awake at the end.
One of the most mindblowing things about this Video was holden being so chill about not sharing his thoughts about this incredible movie.
You have to watch Interstellar if u havent watched it yet, for me its the best Nolan movie by sooo far. But Inception is one of his greatest creations as well. When Nolan and Zimmer perform together, the result is just amazing. Interstellar, Inception, Dark Knight or Dunkirk are the perfect examples of that.
Greetings from Spain!!!
Inception, The Prestige & Dark Knight Trilogy are so good i can never decide which one is the best.
Charlton Heston Ben-Hur beats all those.
Remember: the totem thing wasn’t Cobb’s totem. It was Mal’s. Cobb’s totem was actually his ring. He would have it in all the dream sequences and not in real life. But in any case all the scenes with Mal’s totem in the dreams it would never wobble at all. It would always spin perfectly straight. In the last shot, right before we cut to black, the totem starts to wobble slightly.
PS. But if you really, really want to cheat: the actors that played the kids throughout the movie and the actors that played the kids at the very end were different factors. The kid actors at the end were several years older in real life matching the time Cobb spent away from his kids. 😃
Total Recall with Arnie (1990) is a film about implanting dreams in people. It was remade in 2012 with Colin Farell.
One can argue this movie is flawless making it a perfect movie. 11/10
You have ever noticed that Michael Caine is literally in every Nolan's movie?
He's not in Memento, but yeah...they really like to work together. Similar to cillian murphy (batman begins, inception, Dunkirk) and Tom Hardy (dark knight rises, inception, Dunkirk).
Tom Hardy’s character’s name is Eames
And if you take the first letter of each persons name in the movie it spells out DREAMS
Dom
Robert (fisher)
Eames
Arthur
Mal
Saito
And if you want you can add Peter Ariadne and Yusuf which makes it DREAMS PAY
You know you are a talented content creator when I see a video and immediately drop everything to watch it. Accompanied by me saying "aww sweet they're watching Inception!"
Inception will forever have the best ending of any movie in my opinion, the score 'Time' with the reality questioning twist that it gives you is amazing.
Everyone at the movie theater just like me cried at the end. But Cobbs token is his wedding ring . The top he spins is Mal his Kate wife. So when he gets home he is home for real. Christopher Nolan confirmed it.
