@@PhonyHorse watch this ruclips.net/video/8PhiSSnaUKk/видео.html . He didn’t use CGI at all, he used a rotating hallway. that’s crazy but that’s also the Nolan way.
@@DekkarJr "Don't Think About Elephants" is my favorite of Zimmer's works, and that moment in the hallway is, in my opinion, the zenith of his entire career.
I love how Joseph Gordon Levitt moved in the Zero gravity scene. He reminded me of Randall Boggs, the Monsters Inc villain. The way he gracefully floats.
You would swear he was on wires if you didn't know that it was all shot for real in camera... im sure we've both watched the behind the scenes numerous times, and are well aware of how challenging it was for both actors to do this all practically, but i still have yet to lose my sense of wonder when rewatching this scene. In my opinion, watching this scene again is almost more impressive after you know how it was filmed then the original viewing in theaters. I still always think back to that b roll footage of Joseph and the other actor attempting to walk along the room as it was rotating for the first time, just to try to get used to the spinning. This entire scene is just amazing
@@tankmaster1018 haha the rotating hallway gravity was all practical but obviously, the zero gravity section that OP mentioned wasn't "fully practical" unless they filmed in space! They clearly had wires for that part.
What.. everyone loves this scene and it's often referred to when talking about Inception. It's also like a go to question for Joe in interviews because it was made practically.
imagine just randomly channel surfing across this movie at this part without any idea of what it was, snow shootouts, zero-G hotel hallway, a van driving off a bridge, what the absolute hell is going on?!
In general, I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Nolan on his stance of staying much more loyal to practicals instead of relying too much on CGI and digitals (the only CGI used in this scene is editing out the wire work). Nolan’s one of the few filmmakers left who’s still like that, and its movies like this that prove just how good he is!
@Mr. Marcus Gonna have to watch Tenet again before I say which is the best in my opinion because it's Nolan and you have to watch the movie a few times to get a better understanding
One of the most greatest, iconic, and memorable scene in the whole entire movie as it was just constructed perfectly from the very beginning to the end due to the works of director Christopher Nolan. 😍😎💯👍
Nolan is one of the best filmmakers of his generations, not a single bad movie, practical effects, shit his films using film, write his own scripts that are original, bravo mr Nolan!
they used practical effects with an actual rotating set rather than CGI or special effects; Joseph Gordon Levitt actually had to train for weeks in the rotating set for a couple seconds of the fight. that's why I like nolan films, he loves traditional practical effects over computer generated ones
You should watch Cinefix’s art of the scene video. all practical effects, mostly done by joseph gordon levitt, only a few parts by a stunt double, in a massive rotating set. it’s incredible
there's a video about it I think on cinefix, anyway they built the whole set and actually made it rotate and it was actually pretty dangerous to film in
I used to remember when I wasn't that crazy about Chris Nolan's action scenes from Batman Begins because they were too... jump-cutty. Then as the movies progressed betweeen TDK, TDKR, this movie, Dunkirk, and later on Tenet, he's become so much better at filming these really great, memorable action scenes.
You don’t see these kinds of risky movies that much anymore. Making a high budget movie with an original idea that isn’t a sequel or affiliated with a big franchise is a lot more rare today. Today, such concepts are considered to be “risky”. This is because the possibility of the movie being a flop is higher when general audiences (who make up most of a movie’s box office) aren’t familiar with the new idea like they are with other popular franchises. Inception ended up being a big success (critical and financially) and was the the 4th highest grossing movie of 2010 :)
If you take the time to just watch a couple videos about how this scene was made (you can find some on RUclips) you’ll be mind blown. Nolan is a GENIUS!!!
I know I should include everyone too and I will. But I will say this that both Joseph Gordon Levitt and the Stuntman that is with him in this scene will forever be immortalize. You just know when you're one of those people who are acting in a iconic scene like this one.
Yeah I know, I agree. Everything other thing about the movie makes me forget that and just go along for the ride. I wouldn't do that with hardly any other movies though.
The reason is that Arthur was experiencing the changes in gravity physically, because the van was in free-fall, so his dream was being affected too. In Arthur's dream, Eames became the dreamer, but since he was just suspended in midair he wasn't experiencing any physical changes so the third level remained stable
They state in the movie that you're generally less affected by aspects of other dream levels the further down you are the "dream chain". You require a bigger and bigger kick to pull you back up the levels
The sweet kid from 10 Things I Hate About You is such an assassin! 😍❤BTW, has anyone noticed how delightful Joseph Gordon Levitt looks while sleeping at 0:50? ❤😍 Indeed a powerful scene coupled with Hans Zimmer's riveting score! Truly, the most intelligent movie of the century!
AmomanderRake Maybe a backwards fight scene, where only the main character is moving forward in time and everyone else looks reversed. Oh, please let Tenet save Robert Pattison’s career, he deserves better.
No it’s because he cut two different scenes from the hotel into one clip. The zero G second scene is when the van is in free fall off of the bridge. Later in the film
I cut the two scenes together, but unfortunately it wasn't done very well. I don't know how to splice clips together with smooth transitions and HDR at the moment
@@4KHDRMedia you did fine. but because some development in between is missing, it abruptly goes from fighting in a spinning hallway to a weightless hallway. maybe you could include a one-second black screen to denote a jump and then the van going off the bridge to remind the viewer how zero gravity comes into play. just a suggestion. i was just a little confused because it's been awhile since i last watched the movie as a whole. keep up the good work
You wonder how much this must have cost... and then you remember he stuck it in the trailer. The number of people this thirty-second sequence SUCKED into cinemas probably paid for half the film, never mind the sequence itself.
Not to take anything away from this incredible scene, but does anyone know why Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is still floating around in the hotel starting at 2:00 even after the van has come to a stop? I would have thought that gravity would be back to normal at that point. Maybe I'm missing something.
If you liked this movie then watch Paprika. It's a 2006 anime movie wich Nolan saw and took a lot of inspiration from when making this film. Yes, Mr Christopher Nolan is a weeb. You're welcome.

The Mombasa chase scene would be great.
The Last Jedi: fight in throne room
The fact that this was done with _no_ CGI is more than remarkable. 12/10
They definitely used cgi for this scene.

@@PhonyHorse No CGI in this scene whatsoever. This is the same guy that crashed a Jumbo jet in Tenet for real. He doesn't work for Marvel.
They still used some cgi in those scenes, though. It just wasn’t completely cgi, like some films.
Because... ITS NOLAN!
From 0:50 to 1:08, that 18 seconds is one of the coolest action sequences ever filmed.
The action the music the giant rotating hallway all adds up for an amazing shot ❤️
Right there wiuth ya man - the music at that point as well - WOW. I bet Joseph Gordon Levitt felt fucking awesome filming this scene
@@DekkarJr "Don't Think About Elephants" is my favorite of Zimmer's works, and that moment in the hallway is, in my opinion, the zenith of his entire career.
This is the shot that the editors decided not to...well, edit. They realized that its impact comes from it being a beautiful, uninterrupted shot.
FR FR
0:50 So iconic
So badass 💪
Yeah, first time seeing that in theaters, that's when I was like "Yo! This movie is something else!" Had to go back and see it like 2 more times.
Yeah .... What a movie it was ... I just can't get enough of it
A bit of that was in the first trailer. I knew immediately that it'd be one of the coolest films ever made.
yes the acting and practical effects are of course insane but man that soundtrack is BOOMING
I totally agree. This scene wouldn’t be as epic if it didn’t have that adrenaline-pumping score!
Orgasmic scene. Inception is truly my all time favorite movie ever.

Absolutely breathtaking scene. Remember this was shot 13 years ago. This movie is timeless.
I love how this is done with no CGI and he built the turning Hallway, what an absolute masterpiece
Fun fact:they actually built a fake hallway and attached it to a rotating machine, so the long shot with them fighting in the hall was all practical.

My absolute favorite by Nolan. He's my biggest inspiration in my pursuit of becoming director and screenwriter. 😍🤩🙏
How's it going
Same here!
The entire movie was spectacular, but this part was incredible on the big screen
2:04 Like finding a big ass spider under a box while searching through clutter
I cannot imagine how incredible this movie would’ve been in an actual big IMAX movie theater 😱

this scene had my mouth on the floor from how many cool shots it had
Fr, this whole scene is so incredible, and certainly one of those reasons are the amazing shots
This was AMAZING to see in the theaters
0:52 is when I knew I was watching one of the best movies ever made.
Hans Zimmer with the score makes this even more incredible
Scenes like 0:52 are why Nolan is one of the all time greats
One of the greatest scenes in the history of filmmaking :)
The fact that the man who directed this whole masterpiece wasn’t even nominated for best director is BULLSHIT
The fact that nolan never won even one oscar is enough proof that the award is bs
@@hiiruss7423 oscars are bs . Ge hasnt even been nominated for this movie
Well that's all about to change soon. 😁

This is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
If this was made in 2010 imagine what Nolan’s gonna do for Tenet in 2020 😭
Cannot wait to see that film!!
The budget is also massive. 205 billion (!) dollars! A promising fact for a lot of crazy practical effects, e.g. crashing a real plane 😎
@@VirusL4D i think its 350 MILLION instead of 205 BILLION. Nonetheless, it's still going to be amazing

A spinning hallway?
- Daredevil has joined the chat
I love this fight mostly cus it’s moving

Why was still zero G when the van stopped moving?
No it’s because he cut two different scenes from the hotel into one clip. The zero G second scene is when the van is in free fall off of the bridge. Later in the film
are these the original cuts? the editing is somewhat disorienting (i'm guessing the weightlessness comes from a later event)
