By the way.. love to know where you found that joker poster behind you. I can't find anything like it anywhere...
Would someone steeping out of the shadow of another character be considered a story/character arc?
Look into Cobb's ring
What if I told you that Nolan did an inception on us (audience) with that ending. Now that's the real inception. lol
"Am I about to watch a masterpiece?"
Yes
The whole point of the end is that Cobb doesn't care if it's a dream or reality, after what he'e been through he's just happy to see his kids. Nolan leaves the ending up to you to decide.
But then years later he confirmed that it was indeed the real world and not a dream.
Yes, the part everyone misses about this scene (and myself the first 10 times I watched it) is that Cobb left the top spinning on the table and had already walked away to be with his kids. He didn't wait to find out. The little things like that that we rarely notice at first watch are what make this and a lot of Nolan's other movies so good. You can find new hidden gems almost every time you watch.
Lot's of ppl say this. While not wrong, it misses the deeper point.
The whole point is that movies are themselves a form of shared dream.
In the same way Prestige was presented as a magic trick, and Memento was presented in a way that the audience couldn't remember the past, Inception is itself a shared dream - and DiCaprio is playing C. Nolan himself (the dreamer). That's why he looks exactly like C. Nolan. That is why the thumping music plays in the opening credits for the audience. And that is why the top *can't* fall in the movie since, so long as the movie is still playing, we are still in Nolan's dream.
The spinning top was Mal’s totem, not Cobb’s. Cobb used it so everyone would think it was his. His was his wedding ring which only appears in the dream world and doesn’t in the real world.
Also (and this is a cheat)…the two kids at the end are played by different child actors than the one’s in Cobb’s memories and dreams. The two kids at the end are several years older showing that he indeed is back home in the real world.
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln he confirmed he got sick of being asked about it.
If these kids turn around and have no faces, im turning this movie off" 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Finally someone who wasn’t confused by everything in the movie, respect man✊🏼
It’s confusing at first because this movie is packed with philosophy. about dreams and what is really real? Back in the day we had to read a ton of books 📚 to learn and may not understand things until you are in your 40s 😂.
"Grandma says you're never coming back"
"Well tell grandma to shut up"
That line was awesome XD
Please do ‘The Prestige’ 🙏🏽😁 I think you’ll love it if you haven’t seen it lol
If I find it I gotchu!
@@JakeLovesStories The Prestige is the best Nolan's movie
@Fidel Castro nah, Prestige and Interstellar are better
@Fidel Castro yeah, that's definitely true.
Lol that’s crazy you’ve never seen Cillian Murphy in any other movies🧐 He’s in Dunkirk, 28 days later, Batman begins, dark knight, dark knight rises, and he’s the star of Netflix’s peaky blinders!🙌
red eye was not bad either
“Red lights” too, with robert deniro
And 1 minute in the beginning of The Dark Knight 😊 he's amazing in anything he does.
Sunshine. One of the best movies ever.
He's a 'screenwriter' don'tcha know? ... Who's never watched Inception? ... Never mind, it's only been out for a decade ... Looooooool!
His totem was his wedding ring. He doesn't wear it in the reality scenes. The end scene was reality.
@Lelon Musk We do know, whatever open ended interpretation Nolan intended was thrown out the window by Caine.
People were already speculated the ending was real due to the child actors in the ending being played by different older kids, the spinning totem is starting to wobble and about to fall over as shown in other scenes, showing Cobb isn't wearing his ring totem in the real world, and lastly because Michael Caine confirmed all the scenes he was in were the reality scenes.
@@megazerosaber And wouldnt the top become invalidated when Saito grabs it?
@@megazerosaber Nah I don't buy it. How come the kids are wearing the same dress they wore in the memory and are standing at the exact same spot doing the exact same thing? That's too much of a coincidence. If they were wearing a different dress and doing whatever they were doing there or wearing the same dress and doing something different, I'd have believed it's reality. And just because Michael Caine said it doesn't mean it's right. That's some shit like Brie Larson said about Captain Marvel being able to lift Mjolnir. That's just the actor's interpretation. Nolan is the only one who can officially confirm the theory.
@@hrthusagar I've never liked the Totem as a failsafe system. Its supposed to do what you want so you know your in a dream, but by that same logic it tricks the user once they believe in the dream too much.
@@swordspace2000 Exactly. I'm a firm believer that he's still in dream because that ending scene where they showed his children was too coincidental. Like seriously what are the odds of them wearing the same dress, messing around the same spot doing the same thing? I don't buy it at all.
When I say this is the best film ever it’s literally perfection. Love how you we’re aware of so much going on
Now you gotta check out Memento : P
Always loved the Tom Hardy line. "You mustn't be afraid to dream bigger darling" it's perfect.
South Park did a episode spoofing this movie and it's brilliant how they do it. The episode is called Insheeption
Now that you’ve seen Inception you need to watch it’s “sister movie” Interstellar. Despite being sci-fi and taking place (spoiler alert) in space, far away from earth, no other movie has ever hit home emotionally like it did. I think you’ll really like it, too.
I love how people can agree on one thing, then yet disagree on another. It's the beauty of art. Inception is one of my top 10 movies all time. I absolutely abhor interstellar; trite, boring, predictable.
@@steved1135 Haha, I have a diferent perceptuon too. I loved the unpredictable from interstellar in the ending part. And really disliked how predictable Inception was at the ending xD
Tenet is sister movie to Inception.
Tenet is a whole other ball game. It’s like Inception meets Fast and Furious.
I dislike Interstellar- it’s like a drugstore cologne to Inception’s bespoke perfume: - bland, predictable, and I can’t ever get over the corn being that verdant in a supposed second dust-bowl-like blight bad enough to need an Earth-like space station to be built. It ruins any willing suspension of disbelief I could have for that movie.
Bro, Pause and say whatever you want to because you are missing important dialogue /information which might be important for your analysis.
Stick to Amitabh
The prestige!!! It is like all of this with even more of a mind f***.
And interstellar
When you start giving explanations, do you pause the movie, or just talk over it? I’ve always wondered that. Because with a movie like this, it really is important to hear everything.
He talks over it, it's annoying. Unfortunately it's what all they do. Like music artists reacting to music they explain everything rather than reacting and fully not missing chunks.
Dude is like im so smart but uhh when they gonna start the main conflict. Like duude they explained and started everything, you talked right over it, chill n watch lmao.
He talks over it, missing a lot of “meat”. He should pause it or talk less . I would prefer pausing.
Jake. I’m loving your background. All those folders with film titles. I’m presuming they’re the shooting scripts of respective films. That’s so cool. Great reaction man. 👊👌
Awesome video! This is probably my favorite movie and I love your analysis.
This reaction was so fun to watch! I love the insight you give, making it different from other Inception reactions I've watched. I love this movie so I appreciate many different viewpoints on it!
Also, every time I watch this movie, I always notice new things. Sometimes it even feels like a new movie to me because if its many layers (literally and figuratively). I love how every character has a role to play, and that keeps it engaging. I remember wanting to cheer in the theater when Saito volunteered to join the mission, because I was made to believe that he would be the one to set the mission and then...be gone. So many pleasant surprises.
On one level this is a "heist" movie where a team of specialists is assembled, only they are there to leave something not take something. On another level, it is about Ariadne (who is named after the mythological figure who gave Theseus the clue he needed to escape the labyrinth) leading Cobb out of the labyrinth of his own mind to get him to forgive himself for his wife's death. My theory is she was hired by Michael Caine's character to incept Cobb. Finally, the entire, film makes the meta argument that when we watch a film we are "sharing the dream" with everyone else who has seen that film. Lines like "you never remember how you got there," point back to the idea that most films don't show every bit of how characters get to a location, they might show part of a car ride or an establishing shot, but just like dreams, we often just find ourselves in media res. Also, remember dying in limbo brings you back, just like it does for him and Mal with the train, or so we are led to believe. Many suggest Cobb's wedding ring is either his totem or his manifestation of his guilt over Mal's death (he only has it on in the dream). He does not have his ring on in the final scene suggesting he is in the real world, or that he has forgiven himself. In the end, whether he is in limbo or in the real world he will grow old just as he and Mal did, so he will get to see his kids grow up. Either way, he is home. Whichever place he is in has become his reality and to paraphrase the old man in Mombassa "who are we to say otherwise?"
Love your reactions! I do love this movie too--it does such a great job of playing with our minds.
Oke, so Inception is my favorite movie of all time and I have seen it a lot so I do know quite a few things about it now. Here are two facts that might be interesting:
1. A lot of people are confused, why Cobb and Saito can wake up from the Limbo. The answer is actually pretty simple. The reason why they couldn't wake up while they were dreaming was that they used anesthetics for the dream to be more stable. This was necessary so that they could go so deep (3 layers) and the dream was still stable. After the 10h flight however these anesthetics weren't active anymore so killing yourself on any layer of the dream, even Limbo, results in you waking up. They just didn't show Saito and Cobb shooting themselves because it wasn't necessary and probably also because showing this would be too brutal and the movie would get an R-Rating or something
2. We don't know, if Cobb is in a dream or not.
There are very obvious signs, that this is in-fact real-life like a theory where somebody realized that in dreams Cobb is still wearing his wedding-ring but in real-life he isn't and at the end of the movie he isn't wearing the ring.
There are also signs that everything that happend in this whole movie is a dream, that Cobb constructed to "get back to his children" and that all the cooperations chasing him are in-fact projections of his subconscious that want him to wake up again.
Christopher Nolan has said nothing and will say nothing for ever (at least that's, what I am thinking). This ending is also, why Inception has been in debate for so long since everybody is discussing, if he is still in a dream or not. But at the end, everybody can have his own opinion about that.
My opinion as someone whose favorite movie of all time IS Inception, has watched it too often and even researched almost everything about it (I even made a presentation about it for school once), I think that he is indeed still in a dream he constructed for himself so that he could get back to his children. He incepted the idea into his own mind, that the dream he constructed in which he will be able to get back to his children is actually real.
As said before, one part of it is, that all the cooperations chasing him are infact projections of his own subconscious that want to tell him, that he is dreaming. One random one of those "cooperates" even says something like: "You aren't dreaming now, right?". Another indicator is, that when one of them gets shot, he falls down like all projections do. They all fall like in a video-game which doesn't fully represent how a real person hit by a bullet would die. And as to the Totem: IT ISN'T WORKING FOR DOM. Why? Because it was the Totem of his wife and he simply doesn't know how to "operate" it. Another addition to this theory is, that he sees his children at the end of the movie like he sees them in his imaginations in the dreams and even in the Appartement which indicates, that he is only making all of this up. Lastly to counter the theory with the wedding-ring. In my opinion this ring is not a Totem but a visual representation of his feelings. Whenever he feels like he can be together with his wife (in the dreams which are actually dreams of this master-dream which we think is real-life) he wears the ring while when he doesn't think they can be together (in real-life or actually in the master-dream) he also isn't wearing the wedding-ring. At the end of the movie therefor he is in the master-dream which he and the audience thinks is real-life and has no ring on his finger but this only shows the audience that he doesn't think he can be together with his wife (because he thinks this is real-life and she is dead) and not, that he isn't in a dream.
Alright, this was pretty long and complex but I hope I made these concepts a bit clearer for some people. For me all this depth to the movie is, what makes it so good. The general concept is easy to understand by watching it once if you pay attention but all those details can only be seen by watching it a lot more. There are also other details like the maze at the beginning basically showing an abstract version of dream-layers and loops... but that would be too much.
(PS: Sorry, if some of my English is bad. I am from Germany so English isn't my Main-Language)
Loved the reaction and insights
After your reaction I am satisfied. Your explaination gave me a great insight. It was really fun following you and your thoughts. Also there are cool videos with theories about the ending.
“Am I about to watch a masterpiece?”
Everyone: umm…YES!!!
Lmao exact ending reaction i was looking for 😂😂
Great reaction. Thank you, sir! The top keeps spinnig 😝
Yeah I agree that the overall plot isnt as complicated as people make it seem. However, if you're truly curious about all the nitty gritty details of the various subplots (how Cobb incepts Mal, why Saito is so much older than Cobb in Limbo, etc. ) then its good to watch it again to pick up on this and all of the other details that you miss the first time around that truly make this film a masterpiece.
I was literally waiting for that last moment ,the pls drop moment cause we all had that ,man it felt so good seeing another one suffering the open ending ,I know he probably doesn't care if it's a dream or not cause what's the difference but I CARE ,how could you do this to me
Dude, pause it so you don't miss dialogue, your already cutting the video anyways? So why not pause the video, say your piece, then resume the video? Or at least rewind it 10 seconds so you don't miss a paragraph of information. You are a filmmaker right?
Earned a sub, great breakdown while watching at the same time 👌🏻
Seeing you watch the end was amazing lol
Picked up something I'd never noticed before until now: Just like Yusuf's need to urinate on the plane manifests itself as rainy weather in the initial dream level, Cobb's submergence in the river while in the van manifests itself with him being face down in the water on the shoreline in limbo. I continue to be impressed by the integrity of the writing after all these years and viewings.
woah! that's an awesome catch! Yeah ppl are saying his wedding ring is his totem, but that straight out the gate makes no sense as it would be invalidated when someone else touches it, ala holding hands with Mal. The spinning top was initially Mals, and though she is dead he still uses it. Now whether or not she died validating the totem is up for debate. However Watanabe's old limbo version character touches it when his Japanese guards confiscate it from Cobb on the beach in limbo when he goes back to rescue him.
Dude congrats on your weight loss! I came here to see your reaction but now I'm really curious to hear about your weight loss journey. Subscribed ✔
The true antagonist of Inception is Mal.
You did extremely well reacting for the first time watching this. Multiple plot points identified while also deconstructing the narrative, while also editing for content on RUclips. Well done and keep it up :)
Edit: and no you will never know lol
The whole "WOMP WOMP..." main theme is the French song they use as a kick, slowed down. Please consider reacting to Close Encounters of the Third King; it's one of Spielberg's masterpieces and one of my favorite movies of all time. Only like two people on RUclips have reacted to it! Get in on it while it's hot.
Great reaction. Good luck on your journey.
Great reaction. Entertaining, learned some story writing stuff 👍 subscribed for more.
Some shit that really blew my mind on this one is that this movie is a metaphor for Christopher Nolan and the film making process! Leo is the director, Ellen Page is set design, Joseph Gordon Levitt is the producer, the guy who plays Saito is the financier/movie studio and Cilian Murphy is the audience.. Leo IS christopher nolan trying to get that ONE last job in to be able to relax and spend time with his family! Not only do they look really similar but Christopher Nolan's kid is actually the little boy who plays Leo's son in this movie the one and ONLY movie he has ever put his family in! coincidence? I think not.
I love watching your reactions, especially from a scriptwriting pov. I'm following now for sure!
Have you seen Arrival (2016)? I think you would love it, if you haven't, and I would love to see you break down that screenplay. Keep up the great videos!
In this movie time is the antagonist!😊
There is a way to know the ending about Cobb: In the dreamworld, he is always wearing his wedding ring. While in the real world, he doesn't.
Watched this for the first time in theaters. We collectively said “WTF?!” at the end
😂 for real! Helps once you study psychology dreams Philosophy. mind is blown!
It feels like you know what's going on and you've figured it out, until that final scene hits you. I remember seeing it in theaters on release with some buddies in highschool and we watched it, came out just dumbfounded at the end, immediately went back in to watch it again to see the top wiggling at the end. Came out argued some more, and scrounged up change in the car to see it a third time for a 9 hour movie theater saturday. It was so good.
I think the one thing that points it out for me that he's likely still dreaming is that in the supposed 'real world' where he is putting together the team, and he's getting Eames in mumbai and the guys end up shooting at him, he starts running down the alley and he ends up in that stereotypical dream sequence where hes being chased, but they're missing, then he runs into a tight space that he's trying to squeeze out of where the walls are closing in. That is supposedly in the 'real world' level, but it seems like a dream.
That's just a speculation though, some have said that his totem is actually his wedding ring, I'm not so sure. Although that could definitely be the case, hence why I need to watch it again.
I had the same feeling when I watched Inception. I knew in my heart I would never write/make a movie as near as good as this. But that let's me really embrace how much I like this movie.
Would love to watch you do a story analysis of TENET. Good luck though.
Inception and TENET are two of my favorite movies. And both movies brilliantly show Nolans love for stories having time as a big plot and structure element. Love it.
Again, love how, in art, we can have divergent experiences of the same entity. Inception is brilliant. I found Tenet to be overconstrued to the point of boring meaninglessness.
@@steved1135 i agree...Tenet is not a good film
the glass he stepped when entering the hotel room, is the one she picked up in the dream when the girl went down there to investigate. It's cool how it's showing that and how it then correlates to those memories he keeps when he visits them
That’s a great way of showing cobbs brain 🧠 all parts of his life compartmentalized. Our brains are amazing.
Love this! Would love to see what you have to say about other Nolan films, even if you've seen it, just because they often have very unique story structures (like Memento and the Prestige). Also because I think those are excellent movies in their own right :)
This was great. And hilarious.
You should check out “ What Dreams May Come” probably one of robin Williams best films... and one of the most beautiful films created
Agreed.
Haha my man
When you rewatch you can discover if he still life's in a dream or not. That also a reason to rewatch it ;)
This is The masterpiece. Takes many views to really capture it all.
Great reaction
Amazing movie and an amazing reaction
That's why people watch this 5 times. Because the ending is complicated.
The stick of the inception was the crying on his dad's hand after he saw the pinwheel and the disappointed.
Shutter Island also has a great plot twist!
Something I never noticed until like...the 3rd time I saw it is when Brown and Fischer are sitting by the river, and as the camera pans past Fischer Brown is now Emes.
I’m not sure if you noticed but the ticking clock theme is used musically too. Hans Zimmer scored it out so the lower / higher in the dream they are, the time of certain motifs are doubled or cut in half
Nolan is a freak. He wrote it and directed it. Going down the Nolan hole ha. Prestige is his best IMO, but you probably dig this one the most based on your reaction lol
Yes it is a masterpiece ❤️
Oh if you've only seen two movies with DiCaprio then ya gotta watch Titanic, The Departed, and especially The Revenant which got him his oscar finally
I like the Ariadne character because although she starts as the person who receives the exposition, she becomes crucial to the mission. Also, she's not a love interest, which often comes accross as a cheap add on in lesser movies.
Also, I like the ending. It doesn't resolve completely with a nice bow on top. It makes you wonder, which is it's own little mind virus.
I've never seen a review like yours before. You give us the perspective of someone in the industry, which is so interesting, and informative. Can you please do Interstellar?
Ready for this? The French song Non, Je Regrette Rien used to signal the kick? It is played very, very slowly at the very beginning of the movie indicated that the movie began in limbo. It sounds like pulsating rhythms as the movie production credits start. This is an incredible movie.
Mal's last conversation to Cobb is interesting because her words sow just enough doubt to make you wonder whether she (representing an image in Cobb's own mind) performs inception on Cobb, whether or not she successfully plants the idea in his mind that, even though he lets her go, he's transitioned away from the idea "I can't see my children's faces" to "Now I can see my children's faces [which he does], here in my current world [which he does]" and perhaps that's all he really cared about, the idea that he could let go of his wife and reunited with his kids, whether or not it's actually real, which would be represented by his walking away and being with his kids, turning away from whatever the top tells him.
Here's *another* thing to wonder. Arthur told Ariadne if he allowed her to touch his totem, it defeat the purpose: the totem owner being able to use it to tell whether or not they were in another person's dream. The top was originally *Mal's* totem. She hid it away. Cobb broke into it and manipulated it, allowing him to set it forever spinning, which would then forever screw with her ability to use it and rely on it to tell what was real. (Spousal privileges!) What happened in both the beginning and the end scene? Limbo Saito was able to touch the top and set it spinning. Then he reaches for the gun. But why would killing yourself while in limbo wake you up? They'd just said in the previous levels that it drops them _in_ to limbo. It was a *kick* that wakes them up.
One could argue most of the movie is the act of inception being performed on Cobb (by himself, by his comrades, by the combination of all those and his circumstances), the idea being planted is "Cobb gets to go home/see his kids faces" (or so he thinks), and the ending is that Cobb is trapped forever in a vegetative state, perhaps with Saito, perhaps alone, and he's filled it with a fantasy based on the idea incepted into himself.
The ending is even more fustrating when you see that the kids are wearing the same clothes 🤯 at that point, he didn't care if it was a dream or not 🤷🏾♀️
This is my all time favorite, so I'm glad you liked it!!
Did I just find ANOTHER movie reaction channel to follow? You're very entertaining to watch LOL...
Yes, this movie is brilliant throughout. I agree it's not terribly complicated, but then again not everybody has been to film school/screenwriting. I think there are just a lot of "low-level information" movie-goers in America. The actor who played Fischer is also in Batman Begins (which comes before The Dark Knight, which is also by the same director, though I'm sure you know that.) You should eventually watch all of Chris Nolan films, they're all pretty great and different. Definitely has a style. I'd like to hear your take on what HIS characteristic traits are as a director/filmmaker.
The one thing I was confused you didn't get was the "it's all over" moment where you said they shoulda built it up for it to be effective, whereas we acknowledge they're already on the tightest time restraints as it is so an immediate solution was necessary, I don't think it would have logically worked another way
The spinning top was Mal’s totem, not Cobb’s. Cobb used it so everyone would think it was his. His was his wedding ring which only appears in the dream world and doesn’t in the real world.
Also (and this is a cheat)…the two kids at the end are played by different child actors than the one’s in Cobb’s memories and dreams. The two kids at the end are several years older showing that he indeed is back home and in the real world.
Also…if you get killed in Limbo you automatically pop back to the real world as they established with the train death scene.
Hey!
I remember this channel.
'Interstellar' is another great watch. Such a powerful story as well as above and beyond visuals. A movie you won't forget
You've only watched 2 Leo movies? My god, you have a lot of movies that needs a watch haha, he's amazing in so many movies.
Same thing I just said lol
The Departed
The Wolf of Wall Street
Titanic
Shutter Island
Catch me if you can
.....that's just the tip of the iceberg...lol
That guy has been in a few big movies. Batman Begins, Dark Knight Rises, In Time, and I wanna say Peaky Blinders on Netflix which is a great show
Ma was also in The Dark Knight Rises. That's one reason I like Nolans films. He uses a lot of the same actors, he shoots on actual film, he goes big with the sets and takes his time. I love it
I love people’s reaction to the end of this movie
My take on the ending: not showing whether or not the spinning top totem falls is the movie performing inception on the audience. It alone causes the viewer to question whether or not Cobb is in the real world. Ergo, he is.
29:18 yeah he was in The Dark Knight too, the guy in the mask projecting poison steam?
Pretty sure dude made it back to reality. There’s plenty of evidence, like the wedding ring theory, I think Michael Caine said his scenes are real or something, the spinning top wobbles before the cut to black and the whole thing seems a little overly elaborate for it to be a dream of his own and it requires way too many assumptions (Occam’s Razor, my friend). But the ending is far more interesting than that...
What’s really important about that spinning top at the end is this. A quick reminder:
That totem is Mal’s and as a prop it’s associated with her. In the first act he frequently spins it to assure himself that he’s awake, once holding a gun to his head ready to commit suicide if it won’t stop spinning. That’s a result of his traumatic experience with Mal, we establish that she’s an intrusive presence in his dreams, he can’t escape her like she’s an illness. He obsesses over her and hence she keeps showing up. And after he lets her go in the dream, it seems that he’s achieving some sort of closure, that he’s overcoming the guilt he felt for incepting her into suicide. When he spins that top one last time, the important thing is that when he sees his kids he ignores the spinning top, he runs over to them and doesn’t look back. Both physically, psychologically and symbolically, he’s leaving Mal behind. He has a life with tangible meaning in the now and in the future and that’s how he’s able to move on from his past. That spinning top was surely going to fall over again, but what demonstrates growth in Cobb’s character is that he doesn’t care to look, his fixation with Mal is over. Just as the physical barrier to his new life is dissolved as he passes through immigration, the mental one is dissolved later. It’s a true resolution to the story, with a little bit of intrigue put in to leave you thinking, it draws attention to the ending and encourages discussion over what it really means. Christopher Nolan knows how to engage his audience.
Also Christofer Nolan said he had the idea for inception when he was young and work on the idea for decades before he had a final draft of the script
Inception 2 is to watch Inception again 😁 See what else you pick up. I would watch your second reaction to it. Find the other metaphors. See how many other inceptions you find. Look at it from the point of view that his wife was right. Loved your reaction and analysis. You might have understandably missed this, but the reason they didn't have things like bullet-proof vans is because they were not expecting any resistance. Also, that unfunny joke had another layer to it 😆
Pay attention to the strange scene, trying to stop his wife from Jumping. Why he over in another building hand gesture to go back in his window? Dreams are strange. 😂
@25:35 was indeed a good joke 😂😂😂😂 lol
Hey man , really good choice of a film for a screenwriter reaction ! In one part of your video you said that you like the story even without the action plus chasing and etc. It would be awesome if you react to "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004) as a screenwriter, it has elements of dreaming, and also the theme of memory and is a part sci fi if you haven't seen it.
The thing that people never really say about this film is the real inception. the title itself in relation to the ending and main character. The "real" inception is not Fischer and his fathers company. The real inception is from saito planting the idea in cobbs mind that it was ok to return home to his children and let go of his wife. He had to overcome his guilt. Whether or not its real or not is beside the point. the inception took so he can go home.
Awesome reaction-really love your screenwriter’s perspective of Inception! (Especially the great pieces advice for writers!) I agree-this movie is much less complicated than people make it out to be. I really like how you compared its plot structure to other films in regards to character development-something to definitely remember on my WIP. Just subscribed! 😃
if you watch the whole movie and was captivated by the end scene,
thinking "is this reality or is this dream?" you've been inception-ed.
You got to see more Leonardo DiCaprio's movies. ;)
But I also recommend you to watch the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" ... it is another mindblowing masterpiece.
Have you watched interstellar? Is directed and written by christopher nolan too
Cillian murphy ( the dude you don’t know who it is) is a great actor and he is really well known. He mostly do bad guys. My favorite movie from him is “red lights” with robert deniro too. Has been in movies since forever
Here is what you missed, the totem wasn’t his, his was his wedding ring which he wasn’t wearing in the end. He only wears the ring in a dream. The totem in a dream never wobble either.
He not wake from the kick normally it shouldn't get back only go deeper lol
PEASE gotta see : THE PRESTIGE, MEMENTO, SHUTTER ISLAND and FIGHT CLUB... mind blowing scenarios ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Also, there movies are excellents :
The Matrix, Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump, The Departed, Blood Diamond, Prisoners, Gone Girl, The Game.
I like your videos, the way you break down the movie, makes me appreciate and understand more the message of the movies !
What’s all the stuff behind you?
Watch "whats eating gilber grape" asap
This movie is a masterpiece
Pretty sure the fact that Saito was old in Limbo means he lived a lifetime there and therefore the sedation had worn off and they could wake up by dying.
couple of notes.
a. Why I enjoy these reactions ... you say things like "We haven't had a [this] type of moment yet, you'd expect that to happen." 30 seconds later the [this] moment happens.
b. Mal for me is the love interest/villain and she's technically inside Cobb's mind so that would make Cobb his own worst enemy (he's the Joker to his own Batman).
c. Cillian Murphy plays Robert Fisher. Didn't you do a video on 28 Days Later or was that someone else? Kind of surprised that for all the Walking Dead you're reviewed you haven't done a 28 Days Later reaction. If you know him from anything you may recognize him as Scarecrow in the recent Batman movies.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Ok, so remember when he says he didn't look at his kids face before he left ,what where they doing?? Now, at the end of the movie, what are they doing?? He 100% is still stuck in limbo
It’s like people ask questions already explain in the movie maaane lmmfao, what do y’all be listening to as the movie plays
I love the fact we never find out for sure if Cobb's dreaming or not, he no longer cares. Also worth noting - nobody is supposed to use your totem because if they know how it works they can dream it working. The totem Cobb uses was Mal's, which potentially makes it completely unreliable.
You really need to see The Prestige and Memento. Memento may even be more mind blowing than this one.
