One of the Best Movies Ever Made

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2016)

The movie actually makes sense. Cobb basically explains most of the points at the beginning and exposition scenes were perfectly done.
The dream conversion at the beginning was perfect. He's being dunked so the entire building is flooded. The cafe explosions were awesome had a perfect dream like effect of anti-gravity as was the whole city being turned upside down. The anti-gravity hallway was amazing.
The score capture your attention at every turn.
The movie has some of the best set pieces I've seen in the last decade, the acting is superb and Nolan's diction is above reproach. Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy were great.
There are many ways to interpret this movie. Either everything happened exactly as it appears or Cobb is still in the dream at the end.
Or the entire movie is Cobb's dream. The characters, while probably based on real people, are projections in his dream. That's why Cobb is the only one who's subconscious spills into every dream. Everything also resolves around Cobb, even when he's not around every conservation loops back to him. Saito parrots Cobb's "take a leap of faith" and Michael Caine tells him to "go back to reality" as through they're trying to tell him he's filming, one of Saito's goons goes down when shot like he's a projection, Cobb struggles to fit through a wall like its closing in and Saito is able to make a murder charge disappear with a phone call.
Of course that might not to true at all. Nolan has created a paradoxical type of art with no true solution. It was just as likely to be real as Cobb's kids have aged in the real world when he returns and the top goes wobble. But really it doesn't matter, Cobb has accepted his reality.
In all this is one of the best movies ever made.
