A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
And the best part is that it doesn't matter. I think Nolan's whole point was that the relevant part of the movie, the emotional journey, is completely irrelevant to the plot, even in super-plotty action movies.
Also, I'm very amused that Salt opened #2 this weekend, so not only did Chris Nolan just kick Angelina Jolie's ass, he's got better legs too.
Or, should I say that the plot is completely irrelevant to the emotional journey? I don't know. They were both fun and satisfying in the movie, and had almost nothing to do with each other, on purpose. I'm sure I'm not making any sense at all.
I saw Inception this afternoon. Wow! I haven't been that mentally engaged in a movie in ages.
saw Inception this afternoon. walked away loving the character of Arthur the most. that was a badass fight sequence.
I think it was a tossup for me between Eames and Arthur. I loved the way they needled each other. Very cute.
And Marion Cotillard is just breathtakingly beautiful.
Also saw Inception this afternoon, and will definitely need to see this one again. I do agree it doesn't matter in the end if it's the "real" world or not. To quote Giles in Restless (probably imperfectly): "Oh, I get it now. It's all about the journey!"
Which one was Eames? What did he do in the story? I know it was the guy played by Tom Hardy, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time conjuring his character and his character's place in the story.
The forger. British guy.
OH! Right.
Well, that helps explain why I was having a hard time placing him. Half the time his character is on screen, he's played by someone else. Usually Tom Berringer.
