Awesome video. Seriously, the movie is really getting worse the more I think about it. A big cop out.

Finally watched Inception. Amazing movie.
But what's even more amazing, that how Nolan approached the movie (just read through that explanation website of Inception).
I searched for some directors of the present who somehow reflect genius directors such as Coppola or Kubrick, especially after
watching Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse last night. That documentary and how much a human being can put into
art, while nearly destroying him- or herself plus the koverall kind of movies Kubrick was doing, made me think if we even have
such geniuses when it comes to making movies. And I think that Nolan has the potential of heading into that direction.
Edit: Just wanted to clarify my statement a little. For my personally this time isn't just capable of bringing up someone like Coppola
or Kubrick, but as for now, I think Nolan is doing a pretty good job of providing us with some quality movies.Last edited by Kuester; 10-31-2010 at 04:12 AM.

You love Kubrick, eh? lol.
Did you see Shutter Island? It's a way better film than Inception. Why? Character connection, and by keeping the film more authentic by managing to not over complicate it. Truly talented directors/auteurs, in my humble opinion, are judged not by how fancy they can make a movie but how much they can strip away from the forefront and leave to the audience to decipher.
If you liked the movie in a movie explanation... Do yourself a favour and watch Fellini's 8 1/2 or Kiarostami's Life and Nothing More. Quality over quantity.

My thoughts exactly. Watched Inception yesterday, and I liked it, BUT Shutter Island was better Originally Posted by lifeoftheparty.

^ That. Somehow feel outta place at the moment or rather the time. Originally Posted by lifeoftheparty.
