the genius of simplicity

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2006)

A self confessed movie fanatic, film connoisseur and independent film maker in the making, i have been an avid user of IMDb for as long as an internet connection has graced the back of my modest computer. Yet, never before have i been left so impressed by a film that i feel i absolutely must write a comment on these message boards.
This film is outstanding in every way possible. Nolan's direction, slick editing, superb casting and impeccable plot deserve no less than a standing ovation. I was left open mouthed, cemented to my cheap cinema seat, over the moon about the fact i had done my part and donated a portion of my struggling finances to such a well deserved cause.
The subject matter is a reflection of the film itself... magical. There surely can never be another film to tackle the subject so well. Any other film maker to even attempt period film about magic will be committing career suicide.
The ending... well, i really don't know what to say. The summary line at the top of this comment says it all. In short... Nolan has hit the nail on the f*****g head!!!!
