I watch Blade Runner before. It has a conclusion. And it is satisfiable.

Also, Inception have conclusion. But you all screw it up!!!

yes, it is straight forward... until some genius turn this into critical discussion... 

Guys, lets not turn this to a Blade Runner debate instead. Lets do that in a Mind Bending movie thread.

I've got dibs on Fight Club.

i never got the whole ideas of th monkeys like at all...was it trying to show us about revolution? about how they develop anger and brute? how the blunt weapon bone started? while before that they were defenseless?(attacked by cheetah)... n the steel bar alike thing... omg it hurts my brain =.=!!

inception set to top box office for the third week in a row, on it way to make 200 mil in US domestic box office 

Sorry for the late-ness. Just watched the movie.

Although the ending gave me (and the rest of the audience) a big "HUH??".. the entire movie was brilliant. Atypical action scenes aside (I was waiting for Yusof to get shot), the whole concept is just very.. new and original. And credit has to be given to Nolan for executing it almost flawlessly.

The cast were just great too. Love Tom Hardy for his accent and humour the most.

I need to find another 2.5 hours of my time to watch once more. Gonna pay attention to the details this time. Throughout the movie I keep having these unanswered questions that I can't focus on the next puzzle.

great yes. Original? probably. Some part is taken directly from Matrix. Example is plug-in to go to dream world instead
of Matrix world.

You should read the FAQ and Wiki regarding this movie. When Nolan wrote this movie, it is very heavily influenced by
Matrix.

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/apr/04/en...on4-2010apr04/5

'The Matrix,' 'Dark City,' 'The Thirteenth Floor' and, to a certain extent, you had 'Memento'

Nolan was influenced by that era of movies above

You sir, trying to make things complicated like other person who claim this and that of the Inception movie.
Let's not over complicate things because its a movie. Inception copy Matrix. There you go.

Matrix is always original.. 

Mana ada...

But I would love to further explore our capacity as a human battery. Its really good actually.

Ok, enough with me complicating the whole movie.

Owh and btw, I MISSED OUT ON YESTERDAY'S 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY!!! Dammit it was on TV2.

I don't mind. I only got the part where Hal was singing Daisy. DAMN!

But yeah. BD's damn cheap. TEMPTED!

Darn it. Now there's a lot of movies I'm missing out. haha.

Btw, 1 gripe i have this movie that I only thought about was the armory. I know its explained that you can train your subconscious to carry weapons, but how come Eames thought of a Grenade launcher? Heck, even a med pack exists in the dream world. And the applications work.

Do you think the chips when he made the change for the money was significant? We knew Cobb took a piece. But some how, its like there's a highlight there that doesn't make much sense and how it ties to the whole story.

but as the Forger, damn he has a f'ed up role to play.

I kind of think otherwise. Totem maybe? I can't really pinpoint it.

Nolan, u owe us a frigging commentary.

I want loaded die.

<------- YES

I think without ruining anything for you, try to concentrate hard on the details, the plot, the rules. That way you can understand most of it already. That's the best we can do.

Don't go without drinks lah. But tahan the toilet. So empty urself for the next 2 hours and 22 minutes.

And refrain from asking or talking to others. If others are talking, shut them up.

I partially agree with you. The Matrix redefined the genre. Until now, a lot of action sequence also somehow copied from
Matrix.

The problem with Inception is, there's so many loop holes for interpretation. A lot its not shown. Matrix have tighter story
and much has been explained.

Mindbending and thinking movie is not same as incomplete movie with some part not shown. Matrix is mindbending movie.
Inception is mindbending movie but incomplete. The storyline could be tighter.

WTF? Did Christopher Nolan Steal Inception from a Scrooge McDuck Comic Book?



Is Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” nothing more than a big rip-off (or at the very least, a secret extraction — get it?) of an old Scrooge McDuck comic book storyline called “Uncle Scrooge in the Dream of a Lifetime”? Hell, it sure looks like it. Read the entire Disney comic book issue for yourself here and I’m pretty sure you’ll draw the same conclusions I did, which is that Christopher Nolan has some ‘splainin’ to do.

I’ll wait for you to come back.

Lalalala…

Okay, back? Let’s continue.

Granted, Nolan added a lot of complexity to the storyline, including the very expensive “architecture” angle, and he greatly expanded on the dream concepts (it is, after all, just a silly comic book for kids), but there’s no denying that “Inception” was more than a little, shall we say, “influenced” by this particular Scrooge McDuck story.

The main plot of the McDuck storyline? Bad guys the Beagle Boys are using a “dream machine” to invade McDuck’s dreams while he’s sleeping in order to trick him into giving them the combination to his money vault. When McDuck’s nephews find out, they are unable to stop the bad guys, since the Beagles are already inside McDuck’s dream, and to just wake him will do major damage, like, oh I don’t know, getting McDuck forever trapped in his dreams or some such. So Donald Duck is forced to go into the dream to save McDuck and pull the bad guys out one by one.

According to TheWrap, the comic storyline was reprinted by Boom! Studios back in 2004, but the storyline itself was originally published earlier than that. Nolan has repeatedly said that he came up with the idea of “Inception” more than a decade ago. Perhaps he read a McDuck comic book back when he was a younger man and forgot.

Again, you can read the entire Scrooge McDuck comic book storyline for yourself here and judge. Who knew Disney comic books were this sophisticated back then? I’m not going to go so far as to say that Nolan “stole” the idea from a Scrooge McDuck comic book, but it sure looks like he got the original idea from somewhere else and either blocked out the original source from his head, or was hoping no one remembered an old Disney comic book. Unfortunately for Nolan, there are very strange people on the Internet, and some of they actually collect old Disney comic books and have the whole issues online to read for free.

This news has busted all over the Interwebs today, and it’ll be interesting to see how Nolan and Warner respond to it tomorrow, if they decide to at all.

Say it ain’t so, Christopher Nolan!
