We know this because his supporting cast is so minimal. This is also difficult to master, but Nolan nails it. He’s a loving father and a grieving husband, but keeps a life of crime, refusing to walk away on grounds that it’s the only way he can make money, yet we get the impression as the film progresses that he loves what he does. Either we give too much away and the audience figures him or her out early, or we hint too subtly and the audience doesn’t even know they were supposed to be wondering.Ĭobb is a man of complex morals. Nolan’s choice to let his protagonist keep secrets from the audience is a brave one. We’re still learning about Cobb in the final ten minutes of the movie. Throughout the film we continue to uncover more about Cobb and his tragic past with Mal, the information meted out through a slow syringe almost until the very end. We’re given a taste of his depth, but only just, and then he’s back to work. Cobb wakes up mysteriously on a beach, and we’re treated to a baiting sequence of his opening conversation with Saito before slipping back to a time when everything was going according to plan.Īnd as we see him infiltrate Saito’s mind, we meet Mal, a mysterious, beautiful woman with whom he has some history. But immediately, from the very first sequence of the film, we know there’s more. He has a unique set of skills and it’s a joy to watch him at work. As we get to know Cobb, our protagonist, we begin to support him because he’s a skilled, plucky thief just trying to get by.
You need interesting characters, and here is where Nolan goes next. (Do any other action movies combine Chinese wire-fu with Ronin ’s brutal car chase?) Inception remains one of the most original big budget films of our time.īut you can’t just build brilliance on a cool what if and finely crafted action. There is plenty of action, but the mix of styles is too eclectic to pin to a specific source. There’s definitely some sci-fi, and the characters do enter an artificial world together, but this isn’t much like The Matrix at all. It’s a bit film noir, sure, but isn’t specifically The Maltese Falcon or The Third Man. Now, put Inception under that microscope. Firefly harkens back to an earlier space western, Star Wars, which took shape as the result of everything from John Ford’s westerns to Buck Rodgers to Akira Kurasawa’s The Seven Samurai. Equilibrium, for all its low-budget brilliance, is a rehash of dystopian tropes with fight scenes from The Matrix.
#Inception we need to go deeper scene movie
Every movie is either based on a previously told story or inspired by it. This never happens anymore, especially in speculative movies. This originality carries throughout almost every aspect of the film. He’s not the first to explore a dream world, but shared dreaming and dream crime is, to my knowledge, something wholly new. Nolan starts with an interesting, unique concept. There will, of course, be spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it, please go watch the movie now. Let’s take a closer look at the movie of our dreams. You may not agree to such extremity, but most of you will agree that it was an extraordinary work. In fact, I believe Christopher Nolan’s Inception to be the best film ever made, an example for all other movies to follow. This happens with a movie of such caliber. It has stayed fresh for us, without a sequel or rumor of one, the whole time. Yes, it’s been five years since Inception first lit movie screens.
