Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (15 August 2010)

Sorry about my English, is not really good.
I've seen this movie yesterday, and after it I asked to myself "What the hell was that?"
First of all: I think the way that Nolan complicated the history is completely unnecessarily. Nolan gives you 100 dater per second, only to confuse you, so, you think "Oh, it's complicated, it's a smart movie, it's great, I'm a smart guy" Well, maybe you are not. The story could be easier and didn't lose the meaning (which is very stupid). Nolan make it difficult only for make it difficult.
Second: What's the point of make 30 seconds' scenes? Make you feel sick and queasy. Can't Nolan make longer scenes? They talk ten seconds and Nolan shows you visual effects ten seconds, and then they talk about dreams another ten seconds, and then Nolan show you how a piece of cheesecake can become in a lemon pie, and over and over, and that's all. The history is silly, the plot is poor. The few jokes are bad. The characters are not interesting. The dialogs are really, really awful.
Third: 3º best movie ever? What are you thinking about? Come on, must be a joke. Why is so cool? The idea is not original (seems to be a mix among Freddy Krugger, Matrix and an article about Freud take from Wikipedia), the visual effects are fine but have not sense at all (There are easier ways to say "everything is on our mind"). I can't find what is so great
Fourth: I think (maybe I'm wrong) many people like this movie cause it make them feel smart, and they believe that they've seen an intellectual movie. Well, I'm not an expert in philosophy or psychology (in fact, I know very little), and I know that the movie is fiction, but anyway, some concepts are completely wrong. I'm in the school yet (third world school), and we had psychology classes last year, and the teacher taught us that the subconscious is result of repressed impulses, so, you want your mother (in a sexual way) and the culture say you "that's wrong and disgusting" so you can't support it, and that's why you have dreams, because it's so hard to tolerate so you eliminate it from your conscience, but that is still in your mind, in your subconscious. So, what DiCaprio says about subconscious (Is result of our emotions) is wrong. He says the subconscious is something subjective (our ideas, our emotions), and is not. What make our subconscious is the culture what cause a guilty filling.
And this year we've got philosophy and we've seen something about Idealism, and skepticism. It's not true that everything is idea. There is a reality, and our mind is made of this reality. This reality (the Society) makes our conscience, and the culture (which is real) make our subconscious. So, everything we think has a reality inception. We are made of reality. Would be great if in the middle of the movie Nicky Santoro (Casino) appeared and says to DiCaprio " Maybe if I stick your head through that window over there you won't think that everything is an idea" That's it. We need more Scorsese and less Nolan.
Fifth: Does anybody find an interesting story? Because, I've seen a lot of guys saying thing about dreams and everything-is-an-idea (Yes Nolan, we get it. You don't have to repeat over and over). But the stories are pretty poor; Di Caprio's story and why the police is looking him, and his ex-wife, and his children didn't trap me at all. What's more, the story about the rich guy and his father is, for me, completely ridiculous. Nolan is very smart, he could think something smarter than that.
So, What do we have? Visual effects and ideas that were taken for guys who died 300 years ago (like Descartes) or even before (like the skepticism Greeks). There is nothing new, or brilliant in "Nolan's idea". What we have is a lot of visual effects without meaning, and nothing else.
Is this one of the best movies ever?
