any link to watch online?

Back from 2nd-viewing. Much better this time since brain-puzzling is out of the way, I can concentrate more on character development and music score from Hans Zimmer. This time more emotionally attached towards the characters. And definitely love the music score.

And the ending;

Perhaps the limbo state is... shared? It doesn't make sense to me, they could share dreams because they were connected to the same device, but there wasn't an device that, uhm... connected Saito's and Cobb's deaths. Hopefully the answer is in there somewhere.
That's how Nolan was able to convince the studio to grant him $200 million- he promised to make it so dense with details that people would simply have no choice but to watch it two, three, four times to fully comprehend it!

Anyway, dying in your dream doesn't wake you up. There was once when I died in my dream, and then I simply floated around watching everyone else, exactly like what happens when you die in online shooters liek Counter Strike and the free cam kicks in. That was a nice dream. I no-clipped everywhere.

This movie is really    without the english sub    i guess i have to just wait for the dvd to release only to fully understand it...

so far i think is the best movie for this year...

by the way i like the guy who cheated the girl for a kiss haha~ (forgot his name)

Just came back from watching it again. Having known what to expect, I liked it a lot, but I think it's far from a masterpiece. There are some strikingly original ideas in the film. There are multiple interpretations, all of which provide a good debate. You might say the whole thing was real, from start to end. Or you could say the ending wasn't real. Or, it could be he never really woke up after testing the strong sedatives in Yusof's dream-addict centre (remember, he didn't manag to spin his totem upon "exiting" his dream. Of course, this particular interpretation is the most unsatisfying one). Heck, the whole thing from start to end could all be a dream, and Mal did actually wake up by jumping off the window. It's really good.

That being said, I think this was also a missed opportunity. Having less info to process while watching this time around, I was struck by how a lot of the film was so uninspired visually. We're talking about dreams here, and the only times when we see how imaginative the mind can be, how utterly weird dreams can be, are in the early stages of the film when we see Paris folding onto itself and bridges being erected magically, all of which happen when Cobb is teaching Ariandne about the dream world. When it comes to actual dreams, it can look very pedestrian, shifting gravity notwithstanding. Take the snow mountains for example, was there anything in there, anything at all that didn't look like it was taken from a standard action blockbuster? Anything that says this is a film about dreams where rules are bent? Anything that was even a little bit different? All we get there are endless scenes of Eames arming and planting explosives everywhere while taking down generic henchmen in the most unimaginative of ways. How exciting. This film will never be a masterpiece because of this entire sequence. In fact, the whole action portion was unnecessary, and serves nothing to the story. I can understand why they are included though. One word: padding. This being the third dreem level, time is even slower, and they need to show the characters doing something to fill up the time. As I said, padding. And a woefully realized one at that. The film has great ideas, but some of them are executed in a very plain manner. Ironic, really.

In the end, I think the concept and ideas really make this film. I won't hesitate recommending it, by all means go see it, but a former forummer here (kobe and makekeke will know who I'm talking about ) has repeatedly said, Nolan should stick to writing and producing duties, and leave the directing to someone else. I never really believe that, but this film did make me take that notion more seriously.

P/S: I still find it hard to grasp the concept of limbo. I now think Cobb and Mal, while exploring the dream world together, never actually dropped into limbo, but rather lapsed into it. In fact, Cobb didn't for once think the dream was real. Only Mal was convinced, over a long period of time, that the dream was reality. In essence, she slowly slipped into a limbo state of mind. I don't think they tried killing themselves and thus going into limbo. This begs another question, since heavy sedatives were used, why didn't killing himself on the train tracks send Cobb into limbo? Someone more knowing please answer, or I'm going to start thinking several concepts in the film are simply too ambiguous to be considered anything more than vague concepts.

movie sucks man.all about dream.people enter into people's dream.dream into dream. damm boring.i wanna go out of the cinema instead.luckily it's only 9.00.wasted 9.00. dark night director always the losers.i hate dark night directors now.they always create boring n don't noe what is all about movie.i give this movie 3/10.1 for action 2 for funny.always talk about 3 layers of dreams.suckssss

nolan take $200 millions from the studio and instead of making a sequel or movie base on book/comic/toy he make a original concept movie that are not dumb down, how many other director can do that?

Not sure why we need to ask Nolan to do it any differently. He's never been a Burton type of director that relies on visual splendors. The film is a thriller heist and the generic settings is required here.

or avatar's plot being something orignal 

but seriously director like James Cameron and Spielberg have massive clout in hollywood for their track record to making hits ofter hits, nolan is still a new comer to being a hollywood elite, making a movie like inception is really a big risk for his career, if the audience cannot appreaced it he will find it hard to launch new project with this kind of budget after he exist the batman franchise.

The idea is that there are corporate saboteurs who can infiltrate your dream to steal or plant ideas. To accomplish this, you need to create a setting to convince the subjects that they arent dreaming. Creating anything remotely bizarre would jeopardize the entire mission. So altering the world as we know it is not really an option.

The purpose of armed projections was to create a sense of danger and villains i suppose. I do however agree that the snow part is a bit of a letdown. There isnt much going on here other than shoot em up.

Yeah that was mad so what made you do it? You had the movie wear you down even before you could fully understand the plot!

I'm planning to see it again next Saturday at KLCC with family

Wanna make a movie gathering and book the whole cinema?
