Amy, I've seen that too, but I need to pay attention next time, since that supports my reading. Which is the simple one that takes things at face value. There, there, brain, don't tax yourself too much. Whew.
The movie incepts everybody who watches it.
I know! It's awesome.
I have a feeling that all the main theories will hold up, because there will be things that hint that any given theory is true, and nothing that flatly contradicts any one theory.
Well, it's hard to flatly contradict a theory that supposes
the entire movie is a dream because then it doesn't really have to adhere to any rules.
I do like the idea that the movie is
Mal's dream, not Cobb's. Oooh. Frickin' Mal!
I love that there are so many different interpretations, and they're all cool, and they could all hold up.
Man, the BooBooBack has morphed itself into my brain as a new song parody.
I want to watch this with commentary.
From Nolan? Or just in general? I'd love to hear Nolan's thoughts but he seems reluctant to do commentaries.
In general. It's a movie that generates good discussions, so I think almost anyone involved in its production would have some interesting things to say.
yes, I heard he doesn't do commentaries, but I had heard he didn't like them at all.
do his previous movies have any commentaries?
Aww
Pretty Maids...
is not available on Netflix.
re: Heath Ledger. I can watch
Knight's Tale
and I would like to see
Dark Knight
again but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to rewatch
Brokeback
and I felt close to tears a couple times during
Doctor Parnassus
but damn is that a great movie! Did we already talk about what a fantastic film
Doctor Parnassus
is? I thought I remembered the critics being disappointed. I have always been a fan of Gilliam. I even enjoyed
Jabberwocky.
From Nolan? Or just in general? I'd love to hear Nolan's thoughts but he seems reluctant to do commentaries.
Really? Chris Gore mentioned commentary on
Following,
and I thought
Memento
had commentary. Did he stop doing them?
I liked Parnassus a lot...mostly because I have an unhealthy love for Gilliam, but I recall the public discourse being pretty negative.
Parnassus was typically confusing/enthralling/heartbreaking--ie, standard Gilliam. The idea of story as the power of the universe delighted me.
And they dealt with the loss of Ledger in all those scenes very well, because the character had so many faces that he presented that it made perfect sense that he would be different people in the other universe.
I missed Parnassus in the theater, dammit, due to dating the hermit. Must rent. I hae the audio for Heath Ledger singing Can't Take My Eyes Off of You on my iPod, and I get so sad when it comes up. Don't know when I'll feel up to watching Brokeback again.
