Nolan. Period.

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2010)

Now I'll admit that this doesn't make you think as much as the Matrix did but it's still very brilliant. If you think like Nolan you will be able to understand as to how he constructed the rules of this film. When the main characters go through so much of the rules of a dream with you it naturally fits in with how a person scientifically interprets it. Rather than just nodding your head and accepting like whatever you hear in Pirates of the Caribbean, the elements of this film just flow. Hence I didn't have a hard time understanding the plot.
Unlike the Matrix or Fight Club this film is not an existentialist but rather an analysis of the human subconscious. Therefore you will not have any sleepless nights after watching this film. There are barely any religious implications thats what I love, instead very scientific.
Now lets get to Nolan. I love his films because they are both plot and character oriented. You have excellent development in both areas. That's why they aren't hard to love.
This film itself will plant the idea in your head to like it. I guarantee.
