Methodical Movie Making

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2010)

Given the ordinary skeletal outline of the story , which basically deals with revenge and retribution, it would have taken an ingenuous script and twist in the storyline. Jonathan Nolan provides us with exactly that. The story revolves around the themes of murder and suspense but is a path breaking work because the protagonist is a person afflicted with a mental ailment which hinders his brain from behaving and charting out normal plans .
The structure of this movie is finely detailed and innovative. The storyline moves back and forth linking the entire storyline .
The dilemmas and problems faced by the protagonist are dealt with in a cool and methodical manner.
I also was quite deeply impressed by the periodical references to the Protagonists professional life and experiences prior to the onset of the ailment.
The movie can by all means be a manual for all students who want to understand the essentials of movie making. Each sequence is complete in itself in that it takes care of the essential elements of any feature.
The most intriguing part of the screenplay were the monological sequences involving Pearce.
A movie which is undoubtedly complex yet brilliant. The way all the elements have been treated makes it a great piece of work in experimental direction.
Leaving some questions open for interpretation it is for me a wonderfully directed movie which requires an intelligent viewership to be a\fully appreciated.
