Hey look I’m alive! 👀 I recorded this before I got VERY very sick and was just way too sick to edit it for last Friday. Also, side note, just wanna apologize for the amount of heavy sound editing in this one; lots of music in the background as people are talking and copyright was mean to me trying to upload this, so I had to ramp it up a bit.
the hallway fight scene is one of my top favorite film moments ever. purely because of how it was filmed. the crew actually built a rotating set of the hallway and had the camera spin along with it. really cool.
The spinning top was his wife's totem, not his. His was his wedding ring - in all dream states he's wearing it. But in reality, he's not because he knows she's dead. In the dreams, his wife is still there in his subconscious.
One aspect of this film that I really love (besides all the usual stuff people talk about) is the fact that it manages to make Marion Cotillard absolutely TERRIFYING in certain moments - like the scene at 15:20 - without ever doing any sort of makeup/digital stuff to make her appear "nightmarish." It's just her facial acting and her physical movements (plus some good sound design) that suddenly make her seem creepy and dangerous.
I hope you're feeling much better! Loved the reaction. I still remember the collective gasp/groan (myself included) in the movie theater at the ending. People have their theories but I do love an ambiguous ending.
Ya haha. This movie totally tripped me out. After I watched it I was like “Is anything real?” Probably because I was watching the movie at like 2 am. I don’t recommend doing that 😂
The song that plays every time before they wake up is "Non, Je ne Regrette Rien", which was first recorded by Edith Piaf in 1960. Interestingly, Mal (Cobb's wife) is played by Marion Cotillard, who won the Oscar for Best Actress 3 years before this playing Edith Piaf in _La_ _Vie_ _en_ _Rose_ (an incredible movie on its own).
Well, small correction she won the Oscar for Best Actress less than two and a half years before this. The academy awards were held in February of 2008 (covering the 2007 film year), Inception premiered in July, 2010.
I love the ending, because after 2+ hours of "Is this a dream or real life?" our protagonist just doesn't care anymore. A brilliant conclusion to the theme.
An all time favorite of mine, and I particularly love the ending. I know some people hate the ambiguity of it, but I think that's the point. Cobb had been struggling with getting too attached to the dream world for a long time, and now he finally doesn't care if he is or not.
"Hellooo Bane, how are youuuu??"🤣🤣🤣.. This is my ALL TIME favorite movie. So many moments and the greatest score ever. When you watch it a second time you will pick up soooooo many things that you missed the first time. The rewatchability is one of the major strengths of the film. Great vid once again!!!
This is one of my favourite movies of all-time and it's been a while since I last watched it so this reaction was SO great and made me remember just why I love this movie so much. Stellar cast, and the whole concept and story just tickles my brain in the right way! Great reaction!
I love heist films, and the twist of Inception being essentially a sort of "reverse" heist film (planting something instead of stealing) is so cool and unique that I loved it when I first saw it. Probably my favorite Nolan film, and glad to see you enjoyed it! Get to feeling better Sam! ❤
Amazing reaction! Also little info on the ending, it's confirmed he was in the real world. His totem wasn't the spinning top, his true totem was his wedding ring on his finger. In all dreams he's wearing his ring, but in the real world he's never got it on.
Love your reactions-and really glad you watched one of my favorite movies! There’s a quote: “Be very, very careful what you put into that head of yours because you will never, ever get it out.” that’s central to this movie’s themes.
I've watched this movie atleast 500 times. You have really seen the movie until you watch it atleast 50 times. Everytime you watch it, you'll see or hear something new. Literally every word spoken in this movie matters. Cobb woke up at the end of the movie because they were sedated for the duration of the flight. Now is his mind completely scrambling after saving Sato? Well that's a different story. Lol.
i saw this movie when a friend took me to distract me from some heavy stuff happening in my life, halfway through i had to use the loo and leaving the dark cinema, throug the dimly lit corridor and then stepping into the bathroom's sterile bright lights, mirrored walls and just general vibe of liminal space had me contemplating if perhaps i too was actually asleep. such a weird feeling to have and testament to the film that it can be so immersive in that way.
My mom bought this movie because she swore one of my brothers said he wanted to watch it, but he'd never even heard of the film. I had to watch it 3 times within 24 hours. First watch through with my family, all of us just trying to figure out what was going on. Second time immediately after so we could all confirm we "understood" it. Third time by myself because after I had a grasp on the concept, I wanted to see if there were any inconsistencies. Freaking love this film. Excited for your reactions
This is what is called cinema. What a movie man! What a movie! Christopher Nolan you're a god of film-making. I can say without hesitating that this is one of the best works of Christopher Nolan and Leonardo-Di-Caprio. And not only that it is one of my favorite film of all time. Time by Hans Zimmer- One of my favorite soundtracks of all time. Its concept- What can I say about that????? The entire world just got bend, what's more is needed from life. I liked that how they shown a simple story in a very complicated way. Six group of people went inside a businessman named Robert Fischer's dream to steal the another will left by his father in a locker and how they showed this story in this 2 hour 20 minutes movie is just brilliant. I mean dream inside a dream and then again dream inside a dream and then again. Its action sequences are top notch and there's 0% doubt about it. Its story is more than brilliant. Its concept out of my words. Its casting- Good choice Warner Bros. The climax was confusing that weather that was real or just another dream but I can give guarantee that that was real because if we look more seriously and more closely to that totem that was about to fall but the movie ended there for the audience to get confused, and throughout the entire film whenever they saw us the children of Cobb, he was unable to see there faces but in the end he was successful to watch there faces and there's also a fun fact that after this movie released in theaters in 2010 Michael Caine asked Christopher Nolan that which scenes are real in the film and which are dream then Christopher Nolan replied the scenes which contains Michael Caine they all are real and in the end when Cobb came back home Michael Caine was there that proves that that was real.This is what is called cinema.

This is one of those movies that is so complex that you need to watch it from beginning to end to truly understand all the details and what's going on. Every scene is so full of information, there's really no filler at all. You can't simply jump into it cold halfway through and just hope to put things together in order to really grasp how the movie got to where it is. In that sense, Inception is about as spoiler-proof as any movie can get.
I get strong "Metal Gear Solid" vibes from the snowy part of this movie. And I haven't really played video games since then, but I fucking love that game.
This whole movie is an allegory for how different players come together to make a movie. DiCaprio - director Hardy - actor JGL - producer Page - writer Watanabe - studio (financier)
The ending is meant to be ambiguous, but several accounts support it being the real world. Christopher Nolan said just recently that it's what he had in mind while filming the scene, Michael Caine has said that all the scenes he appears in are the real world, and the costume designer confirmed that the two kids are actually different actors than the ones whose backs we see throughout the film.
Hey Sam, when this movie came out I was spellbound watching it for the first time.-------- So I can imagine how you felt.-------- I watched it three times in a row at the movie theater.--------- I had this concept of being half asleep quite often. Plus I LUCID DREAM quite a bit. --------- of course, I was nowhere near the level of deep themes, concept execution, and world-building of Christopher Nolan. --------The man is a mad genius.
Something that trips me out even more was when Cobb visits the chemist and tries out the compound. Upon waking up he rushes to the restroom, washes his face and just before being able to check if he actually woke up with his totem, Saito interrupts. Cobb doesn't get a chance to check, thus making the rest of the movie a potential dream state and not reality.
YES! I was literally thinking that during that part but didn't mention anything because I don't even know-- probably because this movie is pretty fast-paced and dense that it just went to the next thing quickly.
If you haven’t seen it yet, and want to see a really trippy Chris Nolan movie, I definitely recommend “Tenet.” It has Denzel Washington’s son John David, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki who is absolutely lovely, she’s so tall and statuesque, I love her. It deals with time and is definitely a trippy movie, John David said Chris Nolan locked him in his office for over six hours during his reading, to keep it secret, and John said he had to keep flipping back and forth through the script due to Chris’ non-linear story telling, and said this is going to be one hell of a movie, I’m in!
So everyone seems to assume [myself first time] the top is his totem, but if everyone knows about it it defeats its own purpose. The best theory I’ve heard is that his wedding ring is his actual totem. Watch and you’ll notice he’s wearing it through the entire movie but it’s gone in the last scene…
There's also so much symbolism behind it, knowing it was Mol's totem, and what he did to her totem. That totem was the key to making her think the world she's in is fake, regardless if she's dreaming or in the real world. So imagine the irony in Cobb using that totem, to determine if he was in reality or not....
Love this movie, easily top 5 for me. Not only the visuals but the score...the SCORE. Ugh. so good. I saw this in theaters and the end had everyone in my theater on pins and needles. JGL and Tom Hardy's characters, Arthur and Eames, were also (I cannot believe I am typing this out!) shipped like...HEAVILY using the ship name 'dream husbands' because their banter back and forth was just too good. I think it's fascinating and sort of astounding how good, witty dialogue and delivery in movies is so rare that immediately people jump on it. I never wrote for or consumed that fanfiction, but I can definitely see where they're coming from. I hope you're feeling a little better now and a lot better soon!
Sam, you're reaction to "Inception" was amazing. I knew you would get lost in this world of the dream.------ Inception had you, balls-tripping so hard.------ What was even better is how you felt the emotion of Cobb and the desperate situation he was in as he revealed more and more of his psyche to the movie viewer.
Glad you're back, just don't push yourself. This is another Nolan classic that really messes with your mind. Another iconic entry directed by him that's very underappreciated is Insomnia. I know you reacted to One Hour Photo, one of the only people on RUclips that did so. Insomnia is another dark role for the late Robin Williams, who plays a supporting role. I'm not saying it's necessary to showcase, just wanted to point it out.
Hey Sam, The end of "Inception" leaves it a mystery.------- Was Cobb in a dream or not.------- Many people are not sure. According to Chritopher Nolan, every scene Michael Caine is in with Dom is real. -------- In other words, Michael Caine is with Dom at the end when he reunites with his children, and so we are back to reality.-------- But it makes for a fun debate for sure.
You seemed to recognize a lot of the talent, but not Pete Postlethwaite who played the father. He was a great Irish actor that passed a while ago, buy you're likely to see him pop up in other stuff. "The Usual Suspects" is one a lot of people react to, but if you're open to my suggestion, "In The Name OfThe Father" is a phenomenal early Daniel Day Lewis flick based on a very true story to do with "the troubles" in Northern Ireland. Not sure if you're familiar with him yet either, but Daniel Day Lewis if widely considered maybe the greatest actor of our time. It's a great movie, and if I'm being honest, I can't get anyone to react to it.
He was already dying of cancer while filming this role, and told Cillian Murphy right before their big scene together. That emotion from Murphy isn't acting.
I always tell people it is not about reality or a dream at the end. I like to see it cutting off where it did to make the point of him making his dream a reality. There's a lot to why I see it that way, but it is always the way I see it...otherwise there's no real point to that scene aside from being a cheap cliffhanger.
A movie that makes you think about how we think and perceive things is absolutely fascinating to me and I love it. I really enjoyed your reaction as all this insanity unfolded lol see ya next movie!
I always thought it was fascinating what this movie (and Memento, another Nolan movie) had to say about the fact that some people find reality far too painful. Most stories default to a character returning to the "real world" because truth is more valuable than fantasy. But it always struck me how the characters of Cobb and Leonard just find the truth of their world too difficult. The retreat into fantasy for them is the only way they feel they can survive. It's interesting. And not something I have seen explored anywhere else.
People are quick to point out similarities with "The Matrix", which is fair and true. But also, less likely a candidate of inspiration is "The Truman Show" which I think was a necessary step in cinema for "The Matrix" to happen.
A lot of people think Cillian Murphy's first name is pronounced with a soft "C"...I used to think it myself..."Sillian". But it's actually a hard "C"...a "K" sound..."Killian".
I noticed that this is the one comment you didn't heart react to. Is it because you suck as a person? Is it because you refuse to be corrected? Is it because you know I will one day overtake you in subsribers?
Wonderful reaction As always. I still don't understand this movie, lol. Just FYI, Cillian Murphy's first name is pronounced like "Killian". I remember seeing him clarify it in an interview for his show "Peaky Blinders", which is also terrific. Has Bane/Tom Hardy in it, too.
You are so lovely. Feel better soon.😁 This movie is a mind twister. Thank You for all you do. I am home as a snow storm cancelled work. So thank you for this. 💖
This is my favorite Tom Hardy role. "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." It's so unfair...why are British people allowed to be so much cooler and more suave than Americans? When was the last time you heard of a debonair American? NEVER!! It doesn't happen!!
So 8 hours of sleep in the Dreamworld would equal out to 4 days. The things I would do with the right company. In the morning it’s like Vegas, it never happened.
Simply put my dear Sam, You have continue the journey inside the mind of Christopher Nolan.------ His movies are second to none and he has become one of the best film auteur of our generation. ------ He's surpassed James Cameron, and Frances Ford Coppola, and only Denis Villenue and Danny Boyle, can give him a run for his money in film amking today. ------ His genius is simply on a next level. ------- The deep scientific concepts and details he is not only able to deliver but also convey to us in a language that we can understand is truly unprecedented. -------- Add to that the emotion weight, and psychological distress that he places our protagonist under makes us also feel their pain at the deepest level. I can't say enough about the Genius of Christopher Nolan. ---- You must watch his entire catalog.
I have an outlandish theory about this film... Cob is the one being Incepted to help him get over Mol😮... There are several points in the film which demonstrate this, i won't bore you with them all, I'll just ask, if Cob is the best, why is he the only person who doesn't wake up on the bus and what is their conversation about?
Thanks for reacting to one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time, of any genre. :) Also, if you wanna see two very underrated Leo movies when he was younger, you should watch either The Basketball Diaries, and/or What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Christopher Nolan has slowly become one of my favorite directors. I can't say I haven't enjoyed any of his films. INTERSTELLAR is my all-time favorite. I hope you decide to watch TENET sometime in the future. Glad ur on the mend and no need for apologies 😊. I as well as many others appreciate your hard work . Don't Overdo it , rest and Again thank you.
Nolan must have some kind of fascination with Space/Time manipulation because most of his movies have those key elements. Ironically, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS fits into that category because several events couldn't have happened within normal Space-Time (the police were trapped by Bane for the same amount of time as Bruce being imprisoned, yet their beards didn't grow, and they had no food, and Bruce healed and escaped from prison, then suddenly appeared halfway across the world, all within a very short amount of time). But anyway. I can't remember what else you have seen from Nolan, but I suggest MEMENTO, TENET and INTERSTELLAR. All excellent movies.
You ask the right questions :> And to be fair, if i would have seen this movie 20+ years ago, it would be mind blowing.. but I've seen this a few years ago for the first time and.. i think it is quite overrated. But definitely a great di Caprio performance, but i consider Shutter Island as one of his best movies.
They came now because they needed us to know their language when they came. They came now so we would know they are coming in the future and we don't need to be worried. They are getting it out of the way. Why 3000 years? Because they pretty much see all and knew her life time would be the best outcomes.
I know everyone is gonna tell you to watch Tenet but before you do watch his other movie Memento. Tenet is a bit of a mashup of those two movie concepts
Watching the movie now, you have to wonder if the real reason Arthur and Ariadne's kiss didn't work as a distraction is because Ariadne just couldn't sell it properly. And that's actually not a total joke, as after his first coming out, Elliot Page said he'd imagined all his characters had some level of queerness to them, even though some weren't aware of it (he's never specified exactly which ones, but Hard Candy in particular is VERY interesting to view with this in mind).
The audio of the movies in your reactions are so muffled. Idk why the audio needs to be muffled. It’s hard to watch your reactions when we can’t really hear the film.
With this video specifically, there was so much music that I was getting copyright claimed for, that this was the only solution. I had a lot of trouble getting this video to stay up :/
Ambitious but flawed movie. The thing that ruined the movie for me was that Cillian Murphy's character Robert Fischer said he has a $10,000,000 insurance against kidnapping, and yet he's walking the street and hailing a cab without any bodyguards.
The more Nolan I watch, the more I wonder if he has a problem with women 🤔😬 Aside from his inability to pass the Bechtel test in any meaningful way with his writing, women in his movies only seem to exist to die for men's motivation (Mal), provide exposition to or at (Ariadna), or be really hot (Tallulah Riley's cameo). It's like he's Michael Bay, but replaces big explosions for weak attempts at high minded concepts 😅
Hey look I’m alive! 👀 I recorded this before I got VERY very sick and was just way too sick to edit it for last Friday. Also, side note, just wanna apologize for the amount of heavy sound editing in this one; lots of music in the background as people are talking and copyright was mean to me trying to upload this, so I had to ramp it up a bit.
A suggestion for future music heavy edits is closed captions. Having them on in general is appreciated by many people myself included
@@MadcapMatt Fair! I’ll consider that.
It’s all good🤟🏿Glad you’re feeling a bit better❤❤❤❤
Hope you are fully recovered now 💖 🤒👍
Heya could you pls react to dark crystal movie it's really old but it's so cool and I haven't seen anyone else reacting to it
I love that the projection of Mal is just Cobb's guilt manifested to haunt himself for his wife's death.
Yuuuuup pretty much 😩

So everyone seems to assume [myself first time] the top is his totem, but if everyone knows about it it defeats its own purpose. The best theory I’ve heard is that his wedding ring is his actual totem. Watch and you’ll notice he’s wearing it through the entire movie but it’s gone in the last scene…
There's also so much symbolism behind it, knowing it was Mol's totem, and what he did to her totem. That totem was the key to making her think the world she's in is fake, regardless if she's dreaming or in the real world. So imagine the irony in Cobb using that totem, to determine if he was in reality or not....
Love this movie, easily top 5 for me. Not only the visuals but the score...the SCORE. Ugh. so good. I saw this in theaters and the end had everyone in my theater on pins and needles.
JGL and Tom Hardy's characters, Arthur and Eames, were also (I cannot believe I am typing this out!) shipped like...HEAVILY using the ship name 'dream husbands' because their banter back and forth was just too good. I think it's fascinating and sort of astounding how good, witty dialogue and delivery in movies is so rare that immediately people jump on it. I never wrote for or consumed that fanfiction, but I can definitely see where they're coming from.
I hope you're feeling a little better now and a lot better soon!
"Dream Husbands" sounds like an indie band that you've never heard of but all your transmasc friends are into
Beside the weddingring thing, the spinning top will drop, because it IS the reality.
That was confirmed by Caine, because Nolan told him so.
I love the concept of Christopher Nolan using many of the same actors throughout his movies. :)
We need that rush hour 2 and 3 reaction my friend. Wishing your channel much success
Sam, you're reaction to "Inception" was amazing. I knew you would get lost in this world of the dream.------ Inception had you, balls-tripping so hard.------ What was even better is how you felt the emotion of Cobb and the desperate situation he was in as he revealed more and more of his psyche to the movie viewer.
Glad you're back, just don't push yourself. This is another Nolan classic that really messes with your mind. Another iconic entry directed by him that's very underappreciated is Insomnia. I know you reacted to One Hour Photo, one of the only people on RUclips that did so. Insomnia is another dark role for the late Robin Williams, who plays a supporting role. I'm not saying it's necessary to showcase, just wanted to point it out.
Edit: Didn't see your pinned comment that this was recorded previously. My bad.
She's had it on the Patreon list for a while, but it just hasn't gotten enough votes yet.
Insomnia was on the poll list for a bit but I just switched it out (for now!) just to keep the polls fresh. Would love to watch it though!
@@OGBReacts Gotcha. Whatever you end up choosing to watch is fine by me.
Hey Sam, The end of "Inception" leaves it a mystery.------- Was Cobb in a dream or not.------- Many people are not sure. According to Chritopher Nolan, every scene Michael Caine is in with Dom is real. -------- In other words, Michael Caine is with Dom at the end when he reunites with his children, and so we are back to reality.-------- But it makes for a fun debate for sure.
You seemed to recognize a lot of the talent, but not Pete Postlethwaite who played the father. He was a great Irish actor that passed a while ago, buy you're likely to see him pop up in other stuff. "The Usual Suspects" is one a lot of people react to, but if you're open to my suggestion, "In The Name OfThe Father" is a phenomenal early Daniel Day Lewis flick based on a very true story to do with "the troubles" in Northern Ireland. Not sure if you're familiar with him yet either, but Daniel Day Lewis if widely considered maybe the greatest actor of our time. It's a great movie, and if I'm being honest, I can't get anyone to react to it.
He was already dying of cancer while filming this role, and told Cillian Murphy right before their big scene together. That emotion from Murphy isn't acting.
Elliott Page'a character, Ariadne is named after the Greek goddess of mazes and labyrinths.
ooo that's so cool!
is name is actually pronounced Killian Murphy.

'I guess Jack survived the Titanic.' #FirstTimeHearing #TwasAlwaysThereToBeTaken LOL
Such a good movie! So impressed with how quick you were to figure a lot of it out, literally took me so many times to watch it. Cast is all star.
I always tell people it is not about reality or a dream at the end. I like to see it cutting off where it did to make the point of him making his dream a reality. There's a lot to why I see it that way, but it is always the way I see it...otherwise there's no real point to that scene aside from being a cheap cliffhanger.
A movie that makes you think about how we think and perceive things is absolutely fascinating to me and I love it. I really enjoyed your reaction as all this insanity unfolded lol see ya next movie!
Leonardo is incredible in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”.
I always thought it was fascinating what this movie (and Memento, another Nolan movie) had to say about the fact that some people find reality far too painful. Most stories default to a character returning to the "real world" because truth is more valuable than fantasy. But it always struck me how the characters of Cobb and Leonard just find the truth of their world too difficult. The retreat into fantasy for them is the only way they feel they can survive.
It's interesting. And not something I have seen explored anywhere else.
People are quick to point out similarities with "The Matrix", which is fair and true. But also, less likely a candidate of inspiration is "The Truman Show" which I think was a necessary step in cinema for "The Matrix" to happen.
Oh fuck you. I made much better comments than this. lol
A movie that is also trippy as hell is Predestination (2014), it involves time travel rather than dreams but is good in a similar way ...
I reacted to that last year! Definitely the most trippy movie I've watched on this channel, I think! ruclips.net/video/i6UsA2qUUcg/видео.html
@@OGBReacts great, hardly anyone reacts to this gem 🙂
A lot of people think Cillian Murphy's first name is pronounced with a soft "C"...I used to think it myself..."Sillian". But it's actually a hard "C"...a "K" sound..."Killian".
I noticed that this is the one comment you didn't heart react to. Is it because you suck as a person? Is it because you refuse to be corrected? Is it because you know I will one day overtake you in subsribers?
This is all a jk, btw
Wonderful reaction As always. I still don't understand this movie, lol.
Just FYI, Cillian Murphy's first name is pronounced like "Killian". I remember seeing him clarify it in an interview for his show "Peaky Blinders", which is also terrific. Has Bane/Tom Hardy in it, too.
Ohhh wow did not know that! Thanks for the correction :)
You are so lovely. Feel better soon.😁 This movie is a mind twister. Thank You for all you do. I am home as a snow storm cancelled work. So thank you for this. 💖
This is my favorite Tom Hardy role. "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." It's so unfair...why are British people allowed to be so much cooler and more suave than Americans? When was the last time you heard of a debonair American? NEVER!! It doesn't happen!!
So 8 hours of sleep in the Dreamworld would equal out to 4 days. The things I would do with the right company. In the morning it’s like Vegas, it never happened.
While not perfect, this movie is a masterpiece.
Simply put my dear Sam, You have continue the journey inside the mind of Christopher Nolan.------ His movies are second to none and he has become one of the best film auteur of our generation. ------ He's surpassed James Cameron, and Frances Ford Coppola, and only Denis Villenue and Danny Boyle, can give him a run for his money in film amking today. ------ His genius is simply on a next level. ------- The deep scientific concepts and details he is not only able to deliver but also convey to us in a language that we can understand is truly unprecedented. -------- Add to that the emotion weight, and psychological distress that he places our protagonist under makes us also feel their pain at the deepest level. I can't say enough about the Genius of Christopher Nolan. ---- You must watch his entire catalog.
The reality of JGL kissing Ellen Page vs the idea of JGL kissing Elliott Page is an interesting dichotomy.
I have an outlandish theory about this film... Cob is the one being Incepted to help him get over Mol😮... There are several points in the film which demonstrate this, i won't bore you with them all, I'll just ask, if Cob is the best, why is he the only person who doesn't wake up on the bus and what is their conversation about?
Thanks for reacting to one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time, of any genre. :)
Also, if you wanna see two very underrated Leo movies when he was younger, you should watch either The Basketball Diaries, and/or What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Hey, been away for a while, but glad I hopped back in, Sam.
Christopher Nolan has slowly become one of my favorite directors. I can't say I haven't enjoyed any of his films. INTERSTELLAR is my all-time favorite.
I hope you decide to watch TENET sometime in the future.
Glad ur on the mend and no need for apologies 😊. I as well as many others appreciate your hard work . Don't Overdo it , rest and Again thank you.
How bout Life of Pi??? Visual effects. Culture. Mystery. An experience!!
Nolan must have some kind of fascination with Space/Time manipulation because most of his movies have those key elements. Ironically, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS fits into that category because several events couldn't have happened within normal Space-Time (the police were trapped by Bane for the same amount of time as Bruce being imprisoned, yet their beards didn't grow, and they had no food, and Bruce healed and escaped from prison, then suddenly appeared halfway across the world, all within a very short amount of time). But anyway. I can't remember what else you have seen from Nolan, but I suggest MEMENTO, TENET and INTERSTELLAR. All excellent movies.
I reacted to Interstellar a few months ago! It’s now one of my favorite movies ruclips.net/video/b4B5p_5jdug/видео.html
Glad you’re on the mend. Have you seen Shutter Island or The Revenant? Two other fantastic Leonardo DiCaprio films.
Both of those I need to watch!!
You ask the right questions :> And to be fair, if i would have seen this movie 20+ years ago, it would be mind blowing.. but I've seen this a few years ago for the first time and.. i think it is quite overrated. But definitely a great di Caprio performance, but i consider Shutter Island as one of his best movies.
I guess Jack survived the Titanic 😂😂😂😂
Some people say that Leo doesn't act at his 100% in Romeo+Juliett, but the movie is cool so it doesn't matter!
They came now because they needed us to know their language when they came. They came now so we would know they are coming in the future and we don't need to be worried. They are getting it out of the way. Why 3000 years? Because they pretty much see all and knew her life time would be the best outcomes.
OGB I like how fun and good natured you are.
This movie confused me when I first saw it but it makes more sense now.
Did anyone truly survive watching the Titanic... oh...that's what you meant. ;)
I'm coughing too - hope you feel better soon and please watch Threads & When the Wind Blows (pweease) xx
It's been a long time since I saw this, but I remember it being very interesting and entertaining.
No one can convince me otherwise. At the end of the movie it was going to stop. Haha 👀
Awesome movie. Search for the RUclips video that cuts all levels of the dream at once so you can see what’s taking place at the same time.
Ohhhh that’s so interesting!
@@OGBReacts ruclips.net/video/MHBlYJ-tKcs/видео.html
Hope you're feeling better? Yay another movie I love
Glad you're feeling better!
Not sure you take any suggestions from here, but Arrival is an awesome movie!
Funny enough, Arrival will be Tuesdays video! 👀
@OGB Reacts omg! That is funny! I guess I'll have to be patient to hear/see if you like(d) it. Can't wait to see that reaction.
You should watch What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?!
I know everyone is gonna tell you to watch Tenet but before you do watch his other movie Memento. Tenet is a bit of a mashup of those two movie concepts
I watched Tenet and was completely lost and confused 😩 I’ll happily give it another watch though.
Cool reaction as always Sam, get better soon sweetie, have a great weekend
LOVE this movie! Such a mind f***!
Watching the movie now, you have to wonder if the real reason Arthur and Ariadne's kiss didn't work as a distraction is because Ariadne just couldn't sell it properly. And that's actually not a total joke, as after his first coming out, Elliot Page said he'd imagined all his characters had some level of queerness to them, even though some weren't aware of it (he's never specified exactly which ones, but Hard Candy in particular is VERY interesting to view with this in mind).
That's nice, but I don't think so. Arthur just wanted a kiss.
Love this trip of a movie.
They fixed his relationship with his father, no need for therapy now.
Shutter Island!!!
I would love to watch that!
The audio of the movies in your reactions are so muffled. Idk why the audio needs to be muffled. It’s hard to watch your reactions when we can’t really hear the film.
With this video specifically, there was so much music that I was getting copyright claimed for, that this was the only solution. I had a lot of trouble getting this video to stay up :/
Ambitious but flawed movie. The thing that ruined the movie for me was that Cillian Murphy's character Robert Fischer said he has a $10,000,000 insurance against kidnapping, and yet he's walking the street and hailing a cab without any bodyguards.
Nice throaty voice. Gives the reaction a certain EXTRA... just kidding... get well soon.😅😉
Please watch "Everything Everywhere All at Once". you won't be disappointed.
I wish I could for you all! I saw it in theaters and loved it
The more Nolan I watch, the more I wonder if he has a problem with women 🤔😬
Aside from his inability to pass the Bechtel test in any meaningful way with his writing, women in his movies only seem to exist to die for men's motivation (Mal), provide exposition to or at (Ariadna), or be really hot (Tallulah Riley's cameo).
It's like he's Michael Bay, but replaces big explosions for weak attempts at high minded concepts 😅
Well, at the very least, his action sequences are much better than Bay's (not a high bar to clear, I'll admit)
