I'm on the side of Leo's totem actually being his wedding ring and that he is awake at the end but the reason why I love the ending so much is because it doesn't matter. He does not look back to check the spinner once he notices the kids, even if it's a dream he doesn't care because he has found peace.

[@bookswithbenjamin8902]

Beautiful

[@KarlenBell]

Then why did he use the spinning top to see if he needs to kill himself using a gun? He could've just looked at his ring and said: "Oh, no need to kill myself because my ring is not on my finger."

[@julianw7097]

@nemanja228 The wedding ring does not fit the definition of a totem. Change my mind.

[@brianlbeck]

I've always felt like the point is kind of moot. He walks away before he gets his answer. To me, it seems like he decides to be happy, regardless of which reality he's in.

[@snodrod420]

Yes please! Denis Villeneuve is the master of contemporary sci-fi. As a massive fan of original Blade Runner, I was highly skeptical of the sequel. But after seeing Arrival I trusted him lol. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better director to do the new Dune movie! I'm beyond hyped!

[@RubenHernandez-sm3es]

Hell yeah!

[@VonJay]

Nolan said that Inception is a movie about how to make movies. The more you change reality or the less you ground a film the more Fischer's/the Audience's subconscious and projections will attack the film. A trained subconscious, or a seasoned viewer like Fischer, will pick at the movie even more even when it is grounded. It is the perfect reason for why Ariadne isn't allowed to just fold the city onto itself, the entire plot of the movie, creating an idea in a subjects mind, becomes even harder if the dream looks fake. More on the movie being a film on how to make dreams/films: Cotillard is Mal/vehicle for guilt/Heth Ledger. Nolan is Cobb/Director. Hardy is Eames/Actor. Page is Ariadne/Set Designer and special effects. Levitt is Arthur/Producer. Rao is Yusef/Composer. Watanbe is Saito/Studio. Murphy is Fischer/Audience.

[@cheut]

Nolan's most interesting female character is, imo, the wife from the prestige. Forgot her name and the actor but her ability to tell apart the twins without knowing that they're twins and it driving her mad was super interesting.

[@foglias]

Sarah

[@errwhattheflip]

Yeah, she was interesting as fuck. Crazy how she could figure out whether "Borden" loved her or not

[@ezachleewright2309]

Inception is still one of my top 10 favorite films of all time. I wish we had more of it's ilk. The feeling of being in a dream world within a dream world, and time slows down... I think ID:Invaded pulls it off quite well.

[@Hotshot2k4]

ID invaded was an enjoyable experience, but I feel like I didn't get so many things. Maybe I just need to rewatch it, but as it stands, a good chunk of it felt like random nonsense.

[@Ivanmaradonaaa]

Yeah it's in my top 10 as well

[@joshwi4193]

I'm glad you brought up Satoshi Kon. He had such an interesting and visceral way of exploring ideas visually and temporally in his animation. Paprika is a clear comparison, but Millenium Actress has always stood out to me as incredibly unique in its memory-like story-telling. The scene transitions flow so seamlessly between main character Chiyoko's memories of time and place, and how they've been influenced and changed by her work as an actress. I think Inception could have learned from this visual representation of memory and self image.

[@fireaza]

I also remember reading an interview with Christopher Nolan shortly after Kon passed in which he cited Paprika as one of the inspirations for Inception.

[@danielokay3129]

Please just make more of this content. Y'all speak from such a breadth of knowledge it's a treat to listen to you guys just riff about a movie. It's nice to hear the substance of a video essay be conveyed through a fun conversation. Two things I was a little surprised you didn't bring up is 1. Fischer's character (Cillian Murphy), essentially Dom manipulates the shit out of him. His return to his family, is at the expense of manipulating someone else's conception of theirs. Despite this, I find that aspect of the movie is also very emotionally moving in terms of him reconceptualizing his relationship with his father (even though it's implanted). 2. The concept of the deeper the team goes into the dream, the deeper they're also going into Dom's subconscious and therefore his repressed trauma is kinda brilliant imo. I think the idea of essentially doing a mind heist which incorporates strong emotional elements with Dom's psyche and loss as well as incorporating the external goal of inception is such a great composition of two motivations and consequently totally avoids the macguffin trope: the heist is as much about success as it is character development. Anyways fucking love your content, I hope to see more of this format. Thanks for making my quarantine a little more bearable.

[@knuckle12356]

Replying because of your point 2. Nicely put, excellent point, largely glossed over in most reviews I've seen.

[@oleedvardevenstuen1449]

[@supreme1572]

BWAAHHHHH

[@MoneyGist]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is another movie that beautifully explores memory and the psyche and sort of includes the randomness of the dream state. Would love love looove to get your take on that. .Speaking of take, would be fun to see a collaboration between Wisecrack and The Take.

[@RickReasonnz]

Ooh, I agree. Would say that did the chaos of a dream much better than Inception.

[@MoneyGist]

Close enough 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjQfWuGZa6imKs

[@Sir.Craze-]

What you said at the beginning about it being the matrix for a different audience. As a 22 year old who loved it. And never thought that myself. I'd have to say you absolutely smashes the nail in the head right through the board.

[@jessetorres8738]

I know it's up to interpretation, but I think that Leo was awake at the end of the film. In every other scene where he saw his kids, he didn't see their faces, but in the final scene he actually sees their faces, and they are wearing slightly different clothes compared to previous scenes. Additionally, someone once pointed out how Leo actually has 2 ways to see if he's awake or not-his top and his wedding ring-and they explained that if you watch him check his wedding ring to know when he's awake.

[@Headbanger666s]

Leo's totem was his wedding ring, they explain at the beginning that the top is Mal's totem... So yeah he is awake

[@0sm1um76]

To be honest, I view the ending as a bit of a bad part of the movie. I felt like it was a "fake dillemma". There is a lot of textual evidence that suggests it's real. The only scene which inarguably questions whether it's real is the scene with dream Mal talking about the ridiculousness of shady figures chasing him across the world.

[@julianw7097]

@Jesse Torres Guys guys guys both the wedding ring and the spinning top do not fit the definition of a totem as Arthur gives it. Nolan basically Incepted you with the idea that the top is a totem.

[@l.a.9406]

No one discusses the fact that at the end, Cobbs children are older then they were the first time you see them and we are finally able to see their faces. They are very young throughout the rest of the movie in the dream state, but when he talks to them on the phone, when he is awake, they are older. Even without his totem, the surprise you see on his face when he sees them for the first time, in a long time, at the end, could indicate that he is indeed awake.

[@HiDefHDMusic]

It’s a fantastic little piece of a world that Nolan goes out of his way to only explain as little about as possible. Everybody focuses on the gimmick, but the characters are hard to pin down, nobody is clearly good or bad, it’s hard to tell what or if something is actually “happening”. It’s genius but critically flawed, and the best thing about it is that the world he builds is completely fresh and unique but trying to flesh it out would imo ruin the actual story that is being told which is great but is way too ambiguous for most people to say they actually enjoy. I once had a dream that Tyler the Creator tried to make out with me but he was a bad kisser.

[@MJGianesello]

it's sort of all right, better movies than inception come out every year, the script is flawed and the directing pretty uncreative for such an out there concept,it's not that great, nolan has done far better and plenty of directors every year do far better than anything nolan

Hahaha, I loved Jared's "son of a *bleep*, I'm in". (Insert the "I understood tha reference" cap meme here.)

[@MartSchunk]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty references by Jared. The references are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Rick and Morty episodes most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Jared's existentialist outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Camus, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Jared's Rick and Morty references truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jared's existential catchphrase "What's up, Wisecrack?" which itself is a cryptic reference to KTMA-TV Minneapolis' Mystery Science Theater 3000 I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jared's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Jared tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

[@johdominic]

27:20 memory & re-remembering is a recurring theme in Nolan’s filmography, in particular Memento: Leonard (also driven by and mourning the tragic death of his wife) believes that by committing to a routine of re-remembering, he can someone continue to function as per normal. But in doing so, his interpretation of those memories of his wife have become so abstracted from the actual events that he ends up misleading himself (like Cobb)

11:20 I agree with you, would have been so much fun to see those thing in a fight scene. But these scenes are in CG, something Nolan uses very rarely, if fight scenes had these then would have ruined all the authenticity of all other hardwork they did. Plus these cg scenes are for exposition only and probably for marketing team to put it in the short trailers. Ps - That's what Dr. Strange movie did in fight scenes.

[@alejandromartinezmontes6700]

I think Mal as a ghost also connects to a common noir trope of being haunted by ghosts (particularly a femme fatale). But they've taken this trope and filtered it through this dream concept and it then connects with the heist tropes and makes this movie basically a high concept sci fi flick playing with classic cinema tropes. And that connects back to the idea of creating these dreams as synonymous with creating film. I'd give it a brilliant. It could be improved in some areas, but what it does do, it does so well.

[@breakdown9526]

[@pdzombie1906]

The Good: Outstanding visuals, game changing soundtrack, and just the fact this movie exists for being an original concept with a blockbuster budget... The Bad: Yes, Nolan could have expanded Ariadne by presenting more mind bending pieces while using paradoxes and Escher like scenerios for her to explore and fight with her mind... The Brilliant: Even if Nolan didn't start writing the movie as an autobiographical filmmaking statement, doesn't mean it didn't become that. Just the fact he casted Leo DiCaprio as a better looking alter ego goes to show you this movie isn't about dreams, but how movies are like dreams and someone like Cobb (the director) places ideas in our head without noticing. Jared thinks Inception is The Matrix of millenials, yet wouldn't give it a Brilliant? Ok, Boomer... Thanx!!!

in my experience what happens is once a haunting specific type of nightmare which is caused by trauma can never be free of but can be changed in time. The blame turns into guilt and the sorrow turns into hate slowly till you become your own nightmare to trick yourself into not being scared and haunted by your nightmare. You plant the thought of its gone but you just delay it till you realize its worse now and now you really cant escape cause all the guilt poors into you and you go down the path of night terrors depression etc. But this is just my experience with it and so far i dont really know how to get rid of it from here, but still hoping theres a way.
