Inception (with implanted spoilers)

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1939234

Also, muddying the waters:

COF: How much does costume reflect the inner machinations of the plot, particularly in a film such as Inception? For example, Cobb’s children are wearing the same clothes at the end of the story as they are in his dream ‘memory’ throughout the film. Is there something to be interpreted here?

JK: Costume design reflects greatly on the movement of the plot, most significantly through character development. Character development is at the forefront of costume design. The characters move the story along and with the director and the actor the costume designer helps to set the film’s emotional tone in a visual way. In a more physical sense the costumes’ style and color help to keep the story on track, keeping a check on time and place.

On to the second part of your question, the children’s clothing is different in the final scene … look again…

the music in this is way overbearing, from the very first moments

i am really enjoying all this inception humor, carry on

hickory dickory dock
this movie blew

Saw it last night, the title could have been:

BETTAR THAN THE MATRIX
a film by chris nolan

I think I said toward the beginning that there was no way the real world was "real" because no one dresses that well all the time. Anyone else notice that people were closest to casual clothing and a realistic look in limbo?

the music in this is way overbearing, from the very first moments

^this. casually throwing music around in films has become like a band-aid for bad dialogue. triteness becomes melodramatic, or something.

The last movie I saw in the theater that I went to last night was the Christian Bale Terminator one, and I kind of giggled at the heavy music the first time it came on because it really tied the movies together.

BTW, I really liked this one.

this was a very enjoyable film, ya'll need to relax.

for whatever its flaws this is a pretty good summer blockbuster, and it aint a sequel or a transformers movie or twilight or some shit like that

and it does some ambitious, fun stuff pretty well

this was a very obnoxious film, ya'll need to tighten up

ha

one of my friends didn't seen the trailer, went in expecting yer basic thriller, and came away satisfied. i saw the trailer and was expecting something much more ambitious and was sorely disappointed.

Didn't hate it when I watched it and it does have some nice scenes but I still think it's v. empty so I end up reacting to the fanboy reaction - is there a word for the opposite of exegesis, where you complicate the source material more than it warrants? Still don't think Nolan is good at writing human beings, might explain why most of his main characters are Aspie variations.

Expectation is a prison, as the saying goes. I thought this was fun as hell.

like i said upthread, i'm comparing this movie to transformers 2, not stanley kubrick or luis bunuel

i didn't nec. hate or even dislike this film, per se. just thought a lot of dialogue was pretty schlocky and the action scenes were not filmed well. i'm a fan of batman begins for what it's worth, negative or positive.

didn't see dark knight (live in a cave)

so does batman, think u might relate to the film

lol

I was half joking with the Matrix comparison above, but really:

Movie that questions scope of reality, has a posse of overly well-dressed experts, ridiculous action scenes that could only happen in a dream world.

That, and this was a decent con game film of sorts.

I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians.

When Leonardo finally sees the front of his kids in #Inception - if only they'd each had the face of Richard D James.

five stars for that joke

a decent con game film of sorts

First thing I've read that makes me want to see this TBH

I should have stayed away from all reviews, I say this all the time but I never do :(

did u read this whole thread and not see the film

That's kind of dumb, I closed the thread as soon as the first batch of people posted post-viewing and didn't open it again until I saw the movie.

that college humor thing is pretty otm

"I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians."
maybe a job for CG in the future?

Watched about 1/4 of "Shutter Island" so far, and I think Scorsese's OTT b-movie gusto is a better match for ridiculous subject matter than Nolan's po faced sci-fi. But then, no one would place Nolan on par with Scorsese, so I suppose it's not a fair comparison beyond the star and the silly scenarios.

"I don't think the makeup department has ever seen elderly Asians."

Almost forgot how distracting this was when I saw it.

they did closely study

Film criticism isn't dead, it just moved to jpegs.

ya - i didn't think about that. no random nudity = this is not a dream.

Very rarely have random nudity or corncobfaces in dreams, don't rate Scorsese.

And I believe it was my little brother who said "You know, when you undergo Dream Security Training, instead of installing bad guys with guns to appear, they should just tell you to not make any big -- and especially financial/corporate -- decisions based on what you dream. Shouldn't 'dreams are trivia, don't believe them' have been the beginning and end of it?"

I feel so silly still defending this movie in any way this long after I saw it (it was really enjoyable, but hardly worth a robust defense). Anyway, Dream Security Training is for normal theft. As far as anyone in the corporate world knows, there is no such thing as inception (what we are watching is brand new tech). And you can't really train someone not to think of a purple elephant -- or whatever big corporate secret they have.

Good points, good points.

Yeah, that's why good inceptors (?) are a high value asset I guess? Makes sense within the logic of the movie anyway.

inception plot borrowed from Carl Barks Scrooge McDuck comic book

How do folks feel about this movie compared with the one where J.Lo jumps into Vincent D'Onofrio's brain to fight art installations?

This was much better but I also enjoyed "The Cell", if only because it was so ridiculously silly.

yeah i like anything w/ overcooked art design

the jodorowsky school

if you will

In that case, recommend me some Jodorowsky...?
