(De-)Constructing

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2010)

So is it the most clever movie ever made or is it all just bogus? Don't expect me to answer that. Don't expect the movie to be everything. It can not be. And don't assume, just because you liked/hated the movie, everyone else should feel the same way. Nor just assume that you can pinpoint every viewer or put everybody in 3 categories. People are far too complex to analyze and put into one category.
What I mean by that, is that you can like this and Transformers. Or hate both. You can also over-analyze this movie and list it's flaws (yes it has them as every movie has them and depending on your view of it, you might spot them and care or not), but apart from being visually stunning, it has a breathtaking story. And an ending that has been spoofed (at various internet sites), but that works very fine for the movie. Of course you could also feel that the end is a cheat. But again, I cannot tell you how to feel about this movie (or any other movie for that matter), I can only tell you, that it looks amazing and it made me chuckle for quite a few minutes in a breath-taking sequence.
And no I did not get everything when I first watched it. I watched it a second time and there are still questions unanswered. Does or would something like that bother you? I didn't bother and the movie fully matched the expectations I had (this was my number 1 expected movie for 2010, the second most expected being "Wall Street 2"). To me, Nolan is more than just a visionary filmmaker. He's a great artist.
