INCEPTION!! (first time watching) 

And the time-reverse aspect of Tenet is like Doctor Strange.

@@flatebo1 and Memento

@@thebatman4991 Memento is just told out of sequence. I'm referring to the final battle in Dr. Strange where he reverses time and traps one of Kaecilius' minions in a wall and another in a fish tank. Nolan does the same thing in Tenet.

@@flatebo1 the first scene is reversed

@@thebatman4991 Can't say as I really remember Memento. So it has time running backwards while the characters run forwards? And interact with the backwards-running time? Seems bit on the odd side for a crime drama.

The.Vow. Full Movie 2012 what movie name

Lol for real!.

Hahaha.

That's awesome.

Oh god I just commented a similar experience!

This film keeps delivering every time I see it. Thanks Natalie and you guys.

Wow. Now that is certainly no coincidence.

You forgot about Peter, Arthur and Yusuf. So it's actually "DREAMS PAY".

Wowowow.

Ariadne is also a direct reference to a play that involves some interesting concepts

More like, the beer holds you in reverse

Drink it upside down.

lol

Inception doesn't hold Tenet's beer, but rather Inception HANDS Tenet the beer because it's inverted 🙃🍻🙂

It's actually give the beer back to me in reverse

And then Theseus ditches her on an island while she's asleep. What a cad!

And "Mal" is literally the latin root meaning "bad" or "evil"

@@cloudshad0ws and mal is used in french in the same sense, and the actress (Marion Cotillard) is french too

And Anaconda MALt liquor gives you a little Richard. We solved it😂

@@cloudshad0ws also Mal is spanish for bad or evil if you will....

The word "genius" is sometimes being thrown around and is been given to a lot of people, who are nowhere near a genius. This is one of the times, when the word "genius" is the completely right word.

Yeah the hotel corridor was just a giant rotating set

No greenscreen but 1000s of man hours painting out wires. So you're still watching CG technically

Using CG when it's absolutely needed, but relying mostly on practical effects, is the hallmark of a truly talented director.

@@georgewebster7472 they didn't use wires, the room is rotating

Never thought of it this way, and I like this better than him being in limbo willfully accepting it to be with his kids

this is actually a better explanation instead of whether it is a dream or not. thanks

I actually have a theory based on the phrase…Life is but a dream… That everything is always a dream… that Amal never actually dies, but is kicked backwards… but that also would mean Cobb’s nightmare version of Mal could have sprung forth after their kids… thus the entire… everything, was a design construct to get Cobb to let go… and my final theory is that Ariadne is actually Mal after being reset.

yeah, in a like a hut on a beach too.. I mean, at least build a disneyland or something down there..

Yep. Reminds me of the Star Trek:TNG episode Inner Light where Picard lives an entire life in like 20 minutes.

fuck this comment reminded me of that reddit post with the lamp that looks off

That’s also why he doesn’t stay to see if the top stops spinning, because he already knows he is home.

almost everyone missed that point when he said that totems are unique and that the spinning top was his wife's totem. When I figure out that the wedding ring is his totem my mind just blew

@@neilshewmaker9241 truly though. He wouldn't care either way. Because he is happy. He is home. And accepts his life

@@tiagocunha1573 Mind blown! I gotta watch this again...I always wondered about the spinning top being Mal's totem and Cobb spinning it each time. I love this movie and the mystery Nolan creates. Such imagination and creativity.

I like the interpretation that he has grown past his fear of being trapped in a dream, and that freedom is expressed by him leaving the top before it stops spinning, because he is not paranoid about being in the dream anymore.

I agree with you 100%!

A Blockbuster With Substance. Thats What Makes It Stand The Test Of Time

9.9/10 I don’t believe in 10/10, but if I did... this is it.

Just great all around

it is clearly a reality if u look at details in the movie

Yes love his movies but can he please fix the audio

Both Memento and The Prestige hammered you over the head with the reveals.

@@aerthreepwood8021 any other such nolan movies apart from memento prestige inception and interstellar????

@@aerthreepwood8021 To be fair, those three are twists, and twists don't really work that well if they're ambiguous.

mostly marvel movies.. just the ones she has on her channel really, she only started watching movies recently, like most of these reaction channels (first time!!)

@@StayFractalesque She worked in the movie industry and has watched movies all her life. It's just crazy how many she hasn't seen.

@@CalestoBella I love movies but I've never watched Lord of the Rings. It came out when I was younger and didn't get a chance to watch it. I still plan on watching it one day.

in her zombieland reaction video, she said she has seen ghostbuster a bunch of times. that's it i guess

Jeez, regardless of whether she has or hasn't I still love her reactions. It's the internet after all. Suspend your beliefs and just have fun.

Even reedited in a more familiar first and people still are scratching their heads trying to figure that one out. Truly excellent filmmaking with that one.

This was the first film of Nolan's I ever watched and it hooked me to his movies forever. Memento is still in my top 3 favorite films of all time.

Agreed! Watch Momento sometime!

I loved the concept, but hated the movie. The ending/beginning was horrible (I hate being made to sympathize the villain)

The DVD was next to impossible to play

@Ben Gibson It *is* his, it *was* hers, what does that matter? He uses it like it’s his throughout the movie

Thank you! So many people fixate on whether or not the totem would have fallen, but the point was that Cobb walked away and didn't care. It does kind of show how brilliant it is though, because the implication is that Cobb will spend the rest of his life never knowing for sure if this is reality--something that would be maddening to most people. Even the audience can't stand not knowing! 😂 It speaks to the catharsis Cobb got that he could just accept never knowing. Edit: I understand that the top is not Cobb's totem, but it was established several times in the movie that he uses Mal's totem to test his reality.

@Ben Gibson The ring can't be a totem, since it is not on his person in reality. It only indicates what he believes is a dream (if he doesn't believe that he is dreaming he can not "create"/"summon" the ring).

@Ben Gibson If that's the case, how do you explain the kids not ageing?

Also, there are two different ages for the kids that are mentioned in the credits. One age is how he remembers them and the second age is when he sees them as they are older now. So this also proves that he was in reality.

Only to be drunk in the field where the barley was grown by the estranged daughter of the person who invented the bottle cap.

UNDERRATED COMMENT!!!!

Gold

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

memento start at the end and the beginning at the same time and ends in the middle of the movie

I just love how Nolan was able to use time in a fucking war movie lol, and it was amazing!

Yes same

This, this right here.

You're right about the ring, but when Cobb is in HIS OWN dream - top wouldn't stop, when he is in SOMEBODY ELSE's dream - he wearing the ring. In real word he keep the ring in his pocket, and the top would stop ofcourse

To clarify, he's wearing the ring when he IS dreaming. Because "in my dreams we're still together."

@@Dreveryn you are correct, I misread the original comment as having stated the correct status of Cobb's ring. Edit: I think the OP corrected their statement.

@@jimclayson This goes along with what I read Michael Caine say, "I read an interview with Michael Caine where he said he had asked Chris Nolan if Cobb was still in a dream at the end of the movie. Nolan told him that every scene you (Caine) are in, is in Cobbs reality. So I guess that would mean that the ending is reality because Caine is in that last scene."

YES! Another one of Scorsese's under rated gems. Doesn't get the credit it deserves.

I would suggest Shutter Island too, in a way they are the same movie

Omg this, brilliant movie.

Bring this one up top!! Let her see this!!

This film is absolute perfection

That usually means practical sets

Yes! I finally saw that movie a month ago, it was amazing

Yes! Although the best way to watch Interstellar is in IMAX especially with the music

She'll cry... like I did

Natalie will cry her eyes out watching Interstellar.

@@mdgarciasa I bawl my eyes out every time, and it's wonderful.

When it first came out the prevailing theory was that they're ex-boyfriends. 😂

@@DizzyJae Love it. It’s a great little detail that adds levity to the film and also fleshes them out a bit by letting the viewer fill in the blanks.

Not much really. It seems more like they just don't jive with each others way of doing things. One thrives on creativity and spontaneity. The other thrives on planning and specificity. The difference seems to irk Arthur while it only amuses Eames.

@@mnomadvfx I like the exes theory though as Eames is clearly a little camp in this movie. Though being the actor of the group it could just be him being a luvvy.

Dream a little bigger, darling. And the fandom got hype. It's amazing XD

I always wonder how he remembered that phone number lol

@@BrokenGodEnt It was in his contact list on his phone.

@@BrokenGodEnt You forget your dreams when you wake up, after all. Everything probably rushed back to Saito's memory when he woke up.

I think it's more that the human mind operating at such an overclocked state would burn it out, not the perception of time passed itself, that's just a side effect..

He was out for just ten hours, dude! When you sleep ten hours, and wake up, you still know you've got to go to work.

Correction. BEST.

Facts. I hear Tenet is really good too but Ive yet to see it

@@k3n12ock If you saw Interstellar, and thought it was confusing. Tenet will MELT your brain into pudding.

One of the best movies. Period. Just my humble opinion.

@@jerseyfky Dude my brain was hurting after I watched Tenet for the first time. That one is Inception times 10.

If you haven't already tried it, take some Melatonin like the 10mg dosage or Valerian Root. Either of those had caused me to have vivid dreams

Oh good lord Tenet. That's like watching Inception in reverse and trying to make sense of it.

Part of the problem with Tenet is that there's dialogue sequences that you just can't hear cause of the terrible audio mixing.

Natalie reacts to "Primer": just the words "I'M SO CONFUSED!" screamed over and over for 30 minutes.

@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Hahaha omg Primer yeah that would totally be the case.

@@Eidlones Yeah...I love Nolan's films, but I have no idea why he thought that mix was okay. It's actually contributed to me watching the film far less than I would have otherwise...I've only seen it twice, because it's a pain in the ass trying to catch what people are saying. I guess I could turn on the subtitles, but then I end up reading more than watching the sequences.

So true!!💯🤯

Woah I never thought of that 🤯

Mind blown. All these years later. 🤯

Fuuuuck, mind blown again! You guys are awesome. The movie itself plants an idea into the audience's mind. I cannot get over how tremendously awesome this movie is. (please forgive my incessant use of the word "awesome" but, in this case, it fits.

I just have to point out that the final spoken line in the film is of Cobb's son, after his father asks what he was doing, saying "I was building a house on a cliff," which of course is where Cobb was with Saito at the start and end of the film.

The scene between Mal and Ariadne in the hotel room is so tense - she is terrifying, like a predator toying with her prey. And the size difference between her and Ariadne just makes it more effective - it also illustrates how different they are as characters, Mal the classic femme fatale and Ariadne the young ingenue.

the jump scare when Mal looks at Ariadne is the most ive ever jumped watching a movie in the theater, almost shat myself

She wasn’t “scary, or terrifying” loool. Y’all are tripping

She did great. I’m not a jealous person but i imagine if I’m dead and haunting my husbands dreams I wouldn’t appreciate him bringing a guest

Simp.

And then people come out of the woodwork trying to kill you

@@peterlewerin4213 😝

Cobb's wedding ring

Yes! I literally just said this! Lol. Thank you!

Haha! I just posted this too! Looks like a few of you guys beat me to it.

I wasn’t looking at the ring. It’s far more visible.

But since he told people the ring was his totem they could build a dream with that in it. So it might be useless now.

But you can have the totem be anything, as long as its unique to you. If he has Mal’s totem, it’s still unique to him and only he knows it’s physical properties.

@@ThatBlakeCampbell He does not use Mal's totem. Watch his hands when he's in a dream vs when he's not....

@@SurrealNirvana He quite clearly ALSO uses Mal's totem, as he spins it every time he wakes up.

Is it really that hard to imagine they named the character after the screenplay was written....

And on top of that Nolan is incepting us with the idea that the film is a dream. Layers upon layers :)

and peaky blinders

Agreed , great movie that director doesn't use a script the actors make up their own dialogue , like him in a prison cell with Liam Cunningham , the direction would be you both share the same politics and become friends , and the two just made up the whole conversation . His version of a Christy is a loose beginning middle and ending but the ending is subject to change if something interesting happens on the day ,

Nah Sunshine is my personal favourite

@@originalbadboy32 great movie. But peaky blinders for performance , but as a multi season show he has more time to shine so its hardly fair to compare. Imo but sunshine is an awesome film

Yeah I can't believe Nat skipped the pinwheel scene. That's a heartbreaker and part of the whole 'twist.'

Nah. The top was Mal's totem. His is his wedding ring. He's only wearing it in the dreams.

Uh no. Cobb cares, but don't worry... Cobb knows he's in the real world and it has nothing to do with the top. He realizes it on the plane at the end. What you are saying is the first layer of the movie. But that's not it. The movie is not about an inception on Fischer. It's about an inception on Cobb. Let me explain: Cobb used the top (originally Mal's totem) to implant an idea on Mal's mind. He made her believe that if the top spinned, then they were dreaming. Meaning the spin thing is something Cobb came up with. The actual and original purpose of the top was only known by Mal (maybe it's weight, a particular flaw on it, or sth else), it wasn't the spin. This way, Cobb convinced Mal to go back to the real world. The problem is that Cobb ended believing his own lie. When Mal jumped, they were still dreaming. She probably realised that the spin thing was a lie (which explains why she still jumped even when the top was on the floor, after it stopped spinning). So the whole movie plot is Saito (and others) trying to bring back Cobb, telling him stuff through each dream level (the same way they did with fischer), like "will you take a leap of faith", or "die like an old man filled with regret" and others. At the furthermost dream (supposedly limbo, or so he was made to believe) he finds Saito and to bring Saito back he needs to tell him the truth he knows. Or should i say, he now knows and realises (that's why his face is like that, like something just strucked him): something he once knew "that this world is not real", etc. The scene plays like Cobb is telling this to Saito, but he's actually telling that to himself, realizing it. Letting the idea perfectly go full circle in his mind. Knowing he would wake up in the actual real world (the plane). Btw, Saito woke up when he died. That Saito at the "limbo" in the end is just a projection by Cobb's mind. Also, we never know if Mal is actually alive or not at the end. And by that i mean that Mal could have died in the actual real world after coming back from anniversary dream. Imo she's still alive, we are just purposedly not shown she is alive. She can totally be in like another room or sth.

@@lupoarg That has to be the most long winded, incorrect assessment of the movie I've ever had the misfortune of reading.

Is it?

@@lupoarg yes.

That’s awesome. Didn’t really enjoy it the first time. I might rewatch it

Memento is based on memory. He got the idea learning about memory and how easily it can be altered and can't fully be trusted. Inception is based on Dreams, obviously. Tenet is the first film he has done based around time. His first film called Following, wasn't really based around anything other than Nolan's experience with his apartment getting broken into. Which interestingly, one of the character's name is Cobb, not the same character though from Inception.

Whilst usually not the central tenet (see what I did there), time is still a common theme in a lot of his films. The elongation of time within each dream level in Inception, relativistic time dilation in Interstellar, the three converging timeframes in Dunkirk.

@@My-Name-Isnt-Important All three are based on time. Memento is based on the passage of time based on a medical condition affecting memory. Inception is based on the passage of time as it relates to dreams.

@@tobygroves2112 I find Interstellar is a very interesting discussion of the theme. While Memento, Inception and Tenet is all about the passage of time affecting the main character. With Interseller time is progressing normally if relatively (see what I did there)

@@Dularr Well, no. Christopher Nolan explained this in an interview. He started to research into memory and how Police do not actually go by witness testimony due to how easily changed a person's memory can be. He also went into detail about Memento being a film about memory. Time really has nothing to do with either film, other than everyday life has the passage of time. I even have a video of the interview itself, so I bring proof of what I say. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0GH8hMQAb2w.html

Have you seen Paprika the film that Nolan got his inspiration from?
