Nolan and Cillian finally got their Oscars

[@ihavenoname-qm8nr]

I was very surprised to hear that these were their first Oscars. I mean, Cillian not winnin an Oscar before Oppenheimer makes sense since its makes a big difference if youre the protangonist or another character (but idk maybe I forgot some movies), but Nolan not winning an Oscar before...I mean, seriously? This clip is even from a great movie!

[@PradeepSinghBisen]

Cillian Murphy's eyes are so expressive that he doesn't need words to do a scene. Edit: wrote the comment a year ago, I'm so glad that finally we are going to witness the class and magic of Cillian's acting and his eyes in a lead role in a Nolan film, Oppenheimer. 20 years of collaboration with Nolan, he's finally got what he always deserved. Edit2: Had to comeback here, my man won the Academy Award for Oppenheimer, I've always knew he would win it one day.

the appreciation and admiration for Cillian Murphy's acting skills, particularly his ability to convey emotions and captivate the audience through his expressions, even in scenes with limited dialogue. Many commenters express their excitement about his upcoming lead role in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and hope that he receives the recognition and awards he deserves. This underscores the impact of a talented actor's performance in making a memorable cinematic experience.

[@Tonycillian5]

I think Sunshine was 2007 but great film

[@danieltonga6052]

This scene is what made Inception a masterpiece film imo. When Cobb spoke about the importance of this moment, “Positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time. We all yearn for reconciliation: catharsis," he was speaking about how important that moment was in Fischer's inception. I think that is also revealing of Nolan's feelings of this movie, who knew that this moment was also vital to make the movie work. Without this scene, there is no powerful emotional resonance to the film nor reason to believe Fischer's motivations.

[@dennismolina1127]

You're absolutely right! The idea of splitting up his father's empire sounds ridiculous to Robert, who would never entertain this idea even for a second in his mind. But because the process of Inception had been performed so well, it is now the idea that he eagerly pursues. This separates great marketers from the average ones because they can get people to buy something even if they don't really need or want it.

He would say stuff at gatherings and get togethers that he only has one son. When my son was born he was a great grandfather. I told him before he passed away from stage 4 cancer, about a year ago, that he wasnt the best father (and he already knew that) but I did tell him he was the greatest grandfather to my 4 year old son Fast forward to after his death, I was given 2 of his chests he had his whole life that was told I get after his passing. In one of them, he has a bunch of my brothers pictures in there, from when he was a baby all the way up to about 13 years old. None of us never knew he had any of these pictures, and why would he have had all of them and kept them. I cried so hard when I seen he had so many pictures of him and some even in frames.

[@woodysmith2681]

Nolan's greatest strengths are atmosphere and endings. He builds a setting so thoroughly, you understand some many aspects of the world he's built from evocative, emotional touches and shots, with almost no bloat. Then as the story progresses, he pulls together usually 3-4 different threads, here represented very literally by different levels of the dream, and ends them as one on incredibly tense emotional highs. The catharsis his endings bring is palpable. oh, and this is a movie about making movies and the toll it takes, especially on the director. Interstellar is about parents leaving but not abandoning children. He has some amazing metaphors and subtext.

[@1532JJ]

I think what I love about this movie is there aren't any true heroes. Cobb is still a criminal who mentally destroyed his wife and forced her(unknowingly of course) to commit suicide. The rest of the gang are a bunch of shady characters, with the exception I suppose of Ariadnay. As for Fisher, he is tricked into blowing up his fathers empire and will likely never know that the heartfelt moment he had with his dad in his final moments in the mountain was all a lie, will come to think of his lawyer as a backstabbing POS(maybe he was, but we don't know that for sure) and Saito wins despite him coming across as a real low life willing to go to extreme lengths just to become more powerful and rich. Nobody comes out of this looking good. Not Cobb, not any of his crew, not Fisher or Saito.

[@buffalo5862]

That is definitely one way to look at it

[@h.d.5194]

In fairness cillians character is sort of seen as the antagonist from the start but as the movie progressed we see more and more into the unfortunate and pitiful relationship with his father which many can relate to and we end up seeing him as a victim to be empathetic towards. I like that he wasn't an outright villain and can be sympathetic towards. Saito did profit from the mission but it regardless prevented a global monopoly on energy which could be horrendous for people and his character didn't seem that bad when he was working with the team in the mission and he stayed true to his word with Cobb so he is respectable.

[@mertserimer6928]

Nobody is bad/villain either. Your softy sense of morality does not match with this movie's theme. Saito was right about "being only power in one industry is dangerous", Cobb is a result of corporate world system which makes him "gray". System creates these people. He couldn't foresee inception idea being alive in real life too. Didnt you see how much he loved her? There are no bad intentions and he was also right about that inception too, since children were waiting in real life too.

@@mertserimer6928 nobody said that anyone is bad or a villain either you fool. They said that there's no outright good characters and that everyone is kinda in the grey section.

This film is a masterpiece in every possible way. It gives me a feeling entirely unique to the experience of watching it.

[@xXFluffers]

One of my favorite moments in the movie is when they're riding around on snowmobiles and one of them points out the kick song, but it's so insanely slow due to the time dilation that another character simply remarks "I thought that was the wind". If you listen closely you can just barely make out the song, but it's slowed so much that it's almost unrecognizable.

Unpopular opinion: this is Nolan’s best movie (or Oppenheimer but I personally like Inception more), even over The Dark Knight

[@leob4403]

Dark Knight is silly superhero stuff, it can never be as good as his more serious movies

[@SharkyKSP]

Oppenheimer is probably his best movie

@@SharkyKSP no it's not, you are just hyping up his latest release like some gullible mass media parrot

@@leob4403 I’ve scene all of his movies, I can safely say Oppenheimer is his best one, the soundtrack, the cinematography, the lack of CGI

How Inception didn't win [at least] an Oscar, again? Madness.

Bro, the movie won 4 Oscars check again. Sadly, it didn't win the Best Picture.

I think my favorite shot in this whole movie is Ariadne opening her eyes just as the van hits the water.

Yeah something about that scene just as she opens her eyes and water splashes that is amazing.

[@jayelawrence7901]

Honestly it's the entire kick series for me. From her jumping off that building to walking up in that van. It's like "the work is done".

[@DaltonHBrown]

The final kick was intense. They mention that their timing has to be impeccable before the whole thing even happens, but still. Goosebumps. And I love that the movie doesn't just follow where the main story is happening, but instead it shows the drama happening in the first two sleep stages. Including the second level having to completely rework his kick plan since they were suddenly left with no gravity after the bus went over the bridge.
