the reason he didnt win because Time (the main theme) is actually based on the French song used in the film ... the kick song ... the main theme was a slowed down version of it (very slow) .. and therefore it wasnt counted as his creation ... ironic right?
For those wondering where the poker chips came from, Eames seems to already have them in his pocket. He's only playing the game to make them look like legitimate winnings when he goes to cash them in. In fact, he actually lost the game when he was down to his last 2 chips, which is why Cobb states "You can rub them together all you want, they're not going to breed". When Eames is finally out of actual chips, he goes to cash in the phoney chips, where Cobb teases him about them not being legitimate chips with the comment "Your spelling hasn't improved", suggesting that Eames's phoney chips would not hold up to close inspection, but the exchange operator sweeps them off the table too quickly to notice.
It's called Rhetoric. By proper definition. It Just takes lots of exposure to sophisticated talk. Be it in movies, video games, books, even the imagination. Combining words and creating words also plays a part. Like "anti-monopolistic" They may be created on the spot, but anyone well versed in the english language will understand you perfectly. :) Rhetoric is a dying skill, with everyone talking in Ghettonese nowadays. :(

@@davecrupel2817 can you expand on this... "Rhetoric" thing ? To correctly execute the art of rhetoric, I imagine one mustn't be afraid of societal induced pressure.
One of the best set pieces I have ever seen - the music, the cinematography, the pacing, the tension, the sound effects, the editing, the overhead shots, the acting......it hasn’t aged a single day and is already a classic to me
1:34 "the relationship with the father". Tom Hardy says that line in such a way that you know Eames' own relationship with his father was troubled greatly. Such a subtle touch, and never explored or even mentioned again, but you just know from that line that it's an issue that defines him. Outstanding acting.
@@ftrunks2k I can tell from his gambling that his father was a degenerate gambler as well. and the fact hes in a seedy establishment means his mother was a whore. its these subtleties that really make this film legendary.
Fun fact: Yusuf in Islamic history is an important prophet of God, blessed with dream interpretation abilities. The Christians remember him as Joseph, the King of Dreams.
Close, Ill say very close but not the very best. I think the best chase is 'Brothers in Arms' by Junkie XL featuring Tom Hardy in the scene ironically indeed.
"That price on my head, was that dead or alive?" love how DiCaprio delivers this line, like he's asking about the weather outside 😂 Tom Hardy was brilliant as well
There's that whole theory that the movie is ambiguous in the fact that the entire thing might or might not be a dream, and scenes like this one is a really good example of expressing that abiguity. The seemingly coordinated civilians closing in on the middle of the street as Cobb's running through, the mysterious agents appearing out of thin air, the well-timed minor events like the van passing through or the heavy load bags carried by workers and the tight walls seemingly closing in as Cobb struggles to go through. You could call it basic film scene choreography but it almost feels like Nolan wanted every scene to feel "imagined" or "dreamed", which I think is p cool.
In fact, there is also a theory that the entire mission, if a all dream, might be not Cobb's but others' to do an inception on Cobb himself, to make him get over his own grief issues; if we think about it, it makes sense...
The scene with the tight walls seems almost straight out of the description of a commonly observed dream where one is faced with a long narrow hallway that they can never reach the end of.
Dom has no idea if he's dreaming or not, his ring only tells if layers BELOW are fake. "No creeping doubts? Not feeling persecuted, Dom? Chased around the globe by anonymous corporations and police forces, the way the projections persecute the dreamer? Admit it: you don't believe in one reality anymore. So choose." "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." -- Albert Camus
That moment when you realize this movie is 10 years old. How time flies. I still remember seeing this advertised on the TV when it was days from release.
The scene where I realized I watching a future name. I'am a big Leo fan, but this scene was completely Hardy's and he stole a few more scenes from Leo later on.
I was mentally dying when Saito just casually opened the car door, knocked out the COBOL engineering agent and was like "Care for a lift, Mr. Cobb?" That was way too smooth to be played in real life.
The one thing you can say about Tom Hardy vs some other actors is "He is so good you forget he's actually in the movie" by that I mean he IS the character and he is so good you if you look through a list of Tom Hardy movies you don't realise just how many films he is in as you lose yourself in his character and forget its Tom Hardy. Whereas no disrespect to Dicaprio, you never truly watch a Dicaprio film and remember the character he played, its just Leonardo Dicaprio in another role.
In a weird way most people come to see stars for their acting personality, which is often intentionally typecasted to meet audience expectation based on what the star actor became famous for. If the actor is too different, most people naturally feel uncomfortable about them seeming like a different person, despite it simply being acting. In other words, most watchers are fans who have a really hard time suspending disbelief. This rule doesn't apply to side characters who don't "star" in a film, it allows them to be open to really flex their acting potential, with different accents, mannerisms and even appearances.
" you see right there you have various political motivation and anti-monopolistic sentiments and so forth but all that stuff umm ah...its really at the mercy of your subjects prejudice you see ".
I watched this scene the most in this movie...it makes me feel something amazing....dont know what....but its amazing feeling to watch this scene and o' the background score perfectly elevates the scene
I remember watching this scene and saying to myself "this guy Eames is the mastermind of the plan". Literally Eames knew exactly what it must be done starting from simplifying the idea of splitting the corporation, using the troubled relationship between Maurice and his son, suggesting the need of a good chemist like Yusuf, using uncle Peter to influence Fisher's mind... Etc. He was a key character.
That's true, Eames is the only one who knows they are doing two inceptions, to Fisher and then to Saito. He deceives Fisher in the first level that he is Browning, but in the second and third levels, he is only interacting with and conning Saito, doing inception on him to not betray Cobb. It is also interesting that Eames never runs into Mal and ignores all references to her.
@@stampedeofoneIs there anybody else talking about the second inception idea, or did you come up with that? I've never seen someone bring it up before, and I don't see anything else about it online. Props to you if you did, its singlehandedly making me want to rewatch just to look for it.
Scene is epic no doubt.... background score by Zimmer is out of this world... The two things stand-out for me:- 1. "See if he starts shooting" this line gets me everytime lol 2. The genuine expression of appreciation Eames gives after hearing Cobb's logic why same bar to meet after half hour.... Tom Hardy was underrated in this movie
Tom Hardy was not underrated in this movie, in fact wast his breakthrough role. You only want to repeat generic comments you saw with a lot of likes, clown
I watched this film in theaters in Nairobi, Kenya. I remember hearing gasps of excitement, surprise and glee when this scene popped up it’s just such a great moment when a city in your country is a setting for a big Hollywood movie. Fun times.
The guy in the cafè was saying 'muzungu' - not sure thats how you say it but it means 'white person' in Swahili. You can Google translate it if you want.
@@theunitedway2805 Cinema film is recorded on camera to fit cinema widescreen aspect ratio (1.85:1), which has to be squished to fit the full horizontal picture in a widescreen 16:9 format for home screens. This leaves black bars on the top and bottom of cinema films viewed naturally at home. In this clip, the editor has moved the 2 black bars together at the bottom of the screen, leaving a complete picture at the top. It's very unusual and worthy of a joke/criticism, as shown in this comment, "shipping" being the act of fans creating an imaginary fan fiction romance between 2 characters who do not have a romance in official story canon. As in the two black bars are having a close relationship, literally.
This is the only action scene that takes place in the real world and the attention to detail in making this sequence grounded in reality is pretty astounding.
Not so sure about that: people chasing Cobb just like the subconscious agents in other minds, the walls blocking him as he tries to escape them just like they're shrinking over him, Saito suddenly appearing from nowhere to save the day, the old man in the "dormitory" subtly telling Cobb "The dream has become their reality. Who are you to say otherwise?", him trying to check his totem in the toilet but he gets interrupted by Saito... And let's not forget Cobb's totem can't be reliable to him because it's not his own, he had taken it from Mal.
@@nikfabbi87 I agree that there are a lot of hints and paralells to the dream world, but the staging of this action sequence also feels incredibly realistic at the same time. I mainly thinking about the way Cobb moves and how he gets away from the Cobol agents, as well as the environment of Mombasa feeling much more realistic that the dream worlds, particularly in the way that there are actual civilians in this setting and not just projections.
@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 That's because it's Nolan's trademark, a realistic staging; therefore, an apparent realism reinforces the problem of distinction between reality and dream (which is dreams' main characteristic).
Nolan really took the creative route of changing the aspect ratio in this scene to a big ass black bar on the bottom instead of one on the top and one on the bottom to balance it out. Genius!
1:42 "Okay, well there's a man here..." On the surface you think Eames is just talking about Yusuf, but the way he grins and motions in the direction of the Cobol Engineering goon, you realize he's also trying to let Cobb know that he's being followed.
This scene is awesome. I think it's a dream, but I don't think the rest of the movie is. I think the film does just what Cobb says, by making the audience lose focus of what's a dream and what's reality. Either way, Nolan is a genius!
It's a normal chasing scene .Give us something normal yah? Zimmer : makes the oscar worthy sound track overpowering the acting of Great Leo and Tom. Greatness
Imagine thinking it would be discreet to dress in a tailored suit as a white guy in an African country and trying to catch a guy who knows ur after him
This is what great sci-fi storytelling is all about. Concepts so foreign you're working them out as the story goes along yet placed in relatable circumstance.
Leo is an amazing Cobb. But sometimes I wonder how will it turn out if Tom cast as Cobb. I think he would do an amazing job too but with different taste.
I know there's a lot of speculation about the ending of this film. But I think the ending is a metal statement on the fact the film is the director's dream come true.
One of the biggest flags that the movie is a dream is how "Bloodless" the violence is, someone shoots a gun, it cuts to the actor falling down with no spray of blood or visible wound or pain. In the coffee shop, one of the agents shoots the guy with the phone in the back and he falls onto his front with no visible wound in his back or any blood. 3:29 Another peice of evidence to back this up is when two real people in the movie get shot (Arthur in the opening and Saito during the heist) they sustain bloody wounds and scream in pain realistically.
Leo is without question one of the greatest actors of his generation & then some & I gotta say the same thing about Tom Hardy…..not everything but A LOT of roles I’ve seen him in he’s simply amazing…..I read somewhere that the biggest compliment you can pay an actor is not recognizing them when they’re doing their thing & Tom Hardy has been able to achieve that in multiple roles:The Revenamt,The Dark Knight Rises & Peaky Blinders (tho not as much as the 1st 2 he’s just incredible in that role) his Oscar is all but guaranteed one day 🙏🏼🤯
Instead of landing on the legs jumping from this height, you should roll through the shoulder, it is much safer and less dangerous than landing on the legs
Its just like.. its like...the music was born/made just for this scene. oh my god it fits so well..fuckkk! Hans Zimmer is the god of soundtracks and Nolan is his amplifier..lol
"You can rub em together all you want, they aren't gonna breed" I used that once, when my friend tried did that with his hands when he was eyeing a girl. but I used you.

For those wondering where the poker chips came from, Eames seems to already have them in his pocket. He's only playing the game to make them look like legitimate winnings when he goes to cash them in.

Great explanation,
I would also add that the chip is Eames totem , where he spells the totem i a way that he can know if he is in dream or real life.
is it breed or breathe tho ?

@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 That's because it's Nolan's trademark, a realistic staging; therefore, an apparent realism reinforces the problem of distinction between reality and dream (which is dreams' main characteristic).
4.01 when he go through the end of way do you notice that the end way is changing.
Poor Freddie Simmons. They shot him when he was trying to make a phone call :(
i love this chase scene. It feels so real in the fact way everyone is moving. Its not clean, its not pretty its just pure desperation.
Nolan really took the creative route of changing the aspect ratio in this scene to a big ass black bar on the bottom instead of one on the top and one on the bottom to balance it out. Genius!
1:42 "Okay, well there's a man here..."
On the surface you think Eames is just talking about Yusuf, but the way he grins and motions in the direction of the Cobol Engineering goon, you realize he's also trying to let Cobb know that he's being followed.
I love how these actors act like they are different people.
Behold: acting
Biggest confusion of my life why Hans zimmer didn't won Oscar for this movie score 😦
This scene is awesome. I think it's a dream, but I don't think the rest of the movie is. I think the film does just what Cobb says, by making the audience lose focus of what's a dream and what's reality. Either way, Nolan is a genius!
Just...No
No, this scene is real. Why would they need to be in a dream?
Wesley Parish this scene couldn't be a dream. Who constructed the area and why are who's conscience holds the dream?
Yes I was thinking the same he adds attributes of dreams in most scenes that makes you question cobbs real life.
Cobb doesn't have his ring, so no, it's not a dream.
This scene was shot in Tangier, a city in the North of Morocco ❤
Damn music is fucking perfect for this scene. Brilliant soundtrack.
Getting stuck between the buildings. One of the many moments where the film makes you wonder if Cobb is dreaming.
Thinking the same. Chased by unknown people, maze like back alley, getting stuck between walls, dark and light areas.... All somewhat indicate dream.
The whole movie is a dream and an allegory about the art of film making.
@@novemberalpha6023 Also can't hide, the waiter ratted him out unreasonably, like the world is against him in this moment.
@@SaginawCareerComplexno coincidence that the lead looks like the director.
Impressed how confident in his plan and knows exactly in how long he can lose its tail, you can see he lived lifetimes in dreams doing this!
The amount of class this movie has is immaculate
Although it was stated as Mombasa, they shot it in Tangier, Morocco. I found those narrow-labyrinth alleys during my visit there, love it!
I just read that also.. I don't know why they didn't just stated it was Tangier, Morocco
Hans zimmer never makes bad soundtracks. The amount of oscars the man deserves is way more than 2
Oh, Cobol Engineering. Hire contractors that don't wear suits everywhere they go, like fucking Mombasa for example.
It's a normal chasing scene .Give us something normal yah?
Zimmer : makes the oscar worthy sound track overpowering the acting of Great Leo and Tom. Greatness
Great sequence, amazing soundtrack and favourite actors! This scene and movie is my fav for a reason
Imagine thinking it would be discreet to dress in a tailored suit as a white guy in an African country and trying to catch a guy who knows ur after him
i like the way Nolan lets his character explain the plot to the general audience with the dense background score.
Bane and Jack
One of my favorite films of the last 15 yrs hands down
This scene is perfect example of 'Thinking on one's feet'.
great scene it just amazes me how bad those guys were at shooting XD
@Second-Hand Videos Pretty easy with that close of a distance.
@plusmetal rise yeah apparently these bad guys are the forefathers of the stormtroopers
@Shane Davadi nah man
They re just stormtroopers
@@callofdutychile He's dreaming. The shooters are his subconscious purposely missing because his will is to finish the job and see his family
Not dreaming are ya…gets me everytime 😂
Best movie of the decade
Remembering the time i watched Inception at cinema for the first time...
I'm mostly at the edge of my seat.
Nolan crafted this movie to perfection!
This is what great sci-fi storytelling is all about. Concepts so foreign you're working them out as the story goes along yet placed in relatable circumstance.
damn man! all he wanted is a cafe!
Leo is an amazing Cobb. But sometimes I wonder how will it turn out if Tom cast as Cobb. I think he would do an amazing job too but with different taste.
Leonardo fits a darker character and Tom fits a more humorous character.
I know there's a lot of speculation about the ending of this film. But I think the ending is a metal statement on the fact the film is the director's dream come true.
One of the biggest flags that the movie is a dream is how "Bloodless" the violence is, someone shoots a gun, it cuts to the actor falling down with no spray of blood or visible wound or pain. In the coffee shop, one of the agents shoots the guy with the phone in the back and he falls onto his front with no visible wound in his back or any blood. 3:29
Another peice of evidence to back this up is when two real people in the movie get shot (Arthur in the opening and Saito during the heist) they sustain bloody wounds and scream in pain realistically.
Leo/Hardy/Zimmer/Nolan... Jeez, what else is there.... What a scene/what a film
Tangiers looks like a splendid place .
I need to watch the whole film again, but there are definitely parts of this scene that are like dreams
Sir Hardy is magical creature in every performance he deems worthy of his attention. But this is, sadly, where I found him.
Bravo 👍👍👍
2:19 "you're not dreaming now, are ya?"
Dam I never notice before today that Cob actually take a chip to pay the drink
The cords in the soundtrack is a rendition of Kenya's National Anthem. I love it
Nilidhani hii scene ilifanywa 001 kumbe ni Tangier, Morocco.
Thx for giving us that great aspect ratio!
Leo is without question one of the greatest actors of his generation & then some & I gotta say the same thing about Tom Hardy…..not everything but A LOT of roles I’ve seen him in he’s simply amazing…..I read somewhere that the biggest compliment you can pay an actor is not recognizing them when they’re doing their thing & Tom Hardy has been able to achieve that in multiple roles:The Revenamt,The Dark Knight Rises & Peaky Blinders (tho not as much as the 1st 2 he’s just incredible in that role) his Oscar is all but guaranteed one day 🙏🏼🤯
Greatest chase sequence in the history of cinema
Instead of landing on the legs jumping from this height, you should roll through the shoulder, it is much safer and less dangerous than landing on the legs
Its just like.. its like...the music was born/made just for this scene. oh my god it fits so well..fuckkk! Hans Zimmer is the god of soundtracks and Nolan is his amplifier..lol
"You can rub em together all you want, they aren't gonna breed"
I used that once, when my friend tried did that with his hands when he was eyeing a girl.
but I used you.
Nice story bro
English has left the chat
This sequence also feels a dream where someone's else's subconscious (Fischer's bodyguards) comes into contact and interferes.
Isn’t it funny when you realize that the whole movie itself is a maze thrown at us by Nolan to Solve ?
This is the maze 2:42 - 2:47
Aneesh you sure mate? 😂
Olly Of course mate !
This opening view of the city with this music👌🏻👌🏻
why cobb didn't get his "cafe"?
It's a crime that this movie isn't in the top 5 on IMDB, instead it's 13 of all time. This is the kind of movie they should show students of the art in schools. Thanks for the upload.
