Christopher Nolan's "Inception" (We're giving up on spoiler tags)

[Morris Schæffer]

I think something more memorable could have been done with the snow finale, but it virtually doesn't matter since it's the fact that it's just another dream state that really elevates it. Moreover, dreams are rarely specific, but rather vague, elusive so there's that. I held my breath when Mal appeared. Intercut with Gordon-Levitt doing extraordinary things in corridors and elevator shafts enhances the snow action also. Works for me. One of the best movies of the last ten years.

But again, I don't recall why it had to be a snow-based conclusion. Perhaps there was a reason for it. Seems that, given the premise, it would have been awfully easy to take that finale in any number of directions although the Page character, as I remember, was there to sort of steer the whole dreamworld into something the team could deal with, without any kind of abstract and absurd interferences to ruin the mission.

Well if I recall, they wanted a long drawn out "maze" map where Hardy could string along bad guys until the job was completed. However, becaue they spent so much time in the previous dream levels, they needed to hurry through the map (go through the secret vent) which Leo wasn't supposed to know about, which is when Mal showed up.

I was gonna make some lame pac-man joke, but I'll stick to a curt " ah yes, I remember it now."

I was looking for a good reason to do the annual Inception thread bump and I found one:




Movies Reimagined for Another Time & Place is a fun little site. And you can even purchase the posters too.

Jimmy Stewart seems like a great Clark Kent.

That Russell Lebowski film would be the greatest film ever made but maybe Jane Fonda should play that female role instead? I have no idea who that actress is.
