The REAL Reason Inception Worked 

I’m pretty sure he’s already quite heavily rated.

@@telswood not enough iwa

how is he underrated? what..

@@telswood rated e, for "every movie he's in is good"

He's also a very beautiful woman the time he's played femme roles like Breakfast on Pluto or Peacock. Wind That Shakes The Barley is also a really good movie.

Christopher Nolan loves to re use this cast 😂 Every film they are in is great

@@berniet1215 yet to reuse DiCaprio or Page

holy shit, thats actually brilliant

Code broken

@@creampuff2019 thanks lol

I would argue (more like this is a concept/theory I've seen passed around some fans of the movie so I'm gonna badly try to summarize it) it's actually three. The heist on Fischer of course, Dom's inception on himself (great point!) but also an inception on Saito. Think about it. The movie begins with a series of dream levels, which confuses you, the viewer, on what's real or not. But it's also purposefully meant to demonstrate to Saito what Dom and his point man Arthur can do as a test of skill. But how did Saito come into contact with Dom? It's a heist on Saito to show to him that Dom could be the man for inception. But what if Saito already had decided Dom and his team was it for the job of an inception on him? There's repeated lines of Dom & Saito saying to not become an old man, filled with regrets, but to take a leap of faith (which OUCH. take a LEAP of faith..... re:Mal.). That line is what bookends the movie. It's literally the inciting incident for the heist, Saito challenging Dom to rise to the task of preforming inception. But then by the end of the movie, the line is inverted on Saito himself by Dom to bring him out of limbo. It clearly holds some emotional resonance for Saito, as the line is what makes him remember Dom, recall that he was waiting for a friend. Saito also is brought along as the 'tourist' but he takes on a planning role with the group, and due to Ken Watanabe's equally brilliant acting choices, we see Saito become only truly alive and animated when he's particapating in the getaway in Mombasa, the heist planning, and the execution. When he's in the action and taking risks. He reminds Dom of the line when he is shot on the first level of the Fischer heist, and seems to gain strength by involving himself further with the insanely risky stakes of this inception, knowing that limbo awaits him. And yet he goes. And he comes back as renewed in his purpose as Fischer was emotionally absolved in his journey. And that's it. The third and hidden inception. It's Dom hiding an inception inside of a bigger inception. One commissioned by Saito on Saito himself, hidden in the guise of another inception. Remember, the idea must seem self generated. And so Saito gives rise to it himself-to take risks, to advance in his life both business and personal, to not become an old man, filled with regrets. To take a leap of faith.

SAME! SAME! SAME! I have been saying this for so long… that hospital scene was always so beautiful to me and was so important and this is why!

Fischer's pinwheel always reminds me of Charles Foster "Citizen" Kane's sled!

Honestly, couldn't have put that better myself. Love this film, but I've never watched it in this way.

holy shit, I can't believe you watch Mr Sunday Movies :O

For sure man, there are so many great things about this film. But he really did a great job highlighting the one thing that was truly indispensable to its magic and why it is so easy to re-watch.

Nathan Zed!! This comment is already a classic, lol. Love your videos ❤️❤️

Nathan watched mr Sunday man the world is good

*Rises

@@FairFuse trilogy as Ken Watanabe is not in rises

Same director might have something to do with it. =)

Directors like using same actors for various movies.

Quality over quantity!

Literally so good.

Ben, you did a fcking great job!

@@b.m.2216 Amazing job. Absolutely!

Wait what happened to him?

Same. I'd never considered his POV, or the idea that the others were angels (of a sort). Good stuff.

He should be in a movie with Amanda Seyfried then Or Lana Rhodes

@@valinorean4816 Or neither.

When most people go for the "hey that's the name of the movie" meme, they reach for Plinkett. Ben pulled out the Cosmonaut. I respect that.

@@davidrich27 Ryan George from Screen Rant and Cinema Sins are also an acceptable answer

@@coolguy1127 And of course the Arrested Development narrator.

Yo there are layers to this reference 👏 😂

If it isn't, I need one IMMEDIATELY

Often your videos do that for me.

@@jimmywright8378 Thank you dude 👊

I love seeing creators that I enjoy in the same circles. Learning and watching as I am.

Me too 😄

Great joke aside, I've heard him being described as representative of sfx

I missed that. Brilliant

@@kermitthepog7063 I would think more editor.

He won't. I doubt he'll play a character from a mainstream franchise.

@@michaelnieva9870 lmao, he played the Scarecrow dipshit

@@cable7152 he wasn't popular at that time. I bet your ass he won't play any Marvel character unless Nolan calls him.

@@michaelnieva9870 not popular? Right, cuz that's what stops actors from doing mainstream films, being popular, tell that to Michael Keaton, Joaquin Pheonix, Josh Brolin, Ben Affleck, Idris Elba and 100 other actors in both the mcu and dceu.

@@michaelnieva9870 he said during one of his movie premiere he wont have any problem starring in a Marvel movie. but by now i think he's sick of playing the villain in American produced movies. he said he was relieved that John Krasinski casted him in AQP2 as one of lead characters and not the bad guy/villain. but you never know, i think as long as they pitch the character to him as interesting and complex one like Tommy Shelby, he'd grab the opportunity. he's seem to lean on those from what i observed.

@Brian Cairns when I was younger yes but now I’m older, I’m not a fan

@Brian Cairns I love Interstellar. I think it's a really good film. But for me personally, it doesn't rate as highly as the other ones. I just don't love it as much as my fellow fans. But hey, to each their own.

I’m such a big fan of Memento too, but I think Inception still has more to give no matter how many times I see it. There’s always something I didn’t catch in the previous viewings that I discover waiting for me. It’s a technically perfect film and also an example of why Tenet was so disappointing, as it ENTIRELY lacked that emotional core to the film that Ben from Canada describes at the heart of Inception.

@Brian Cairns I saw Tenet three times in the theater. But there’s no way it compares to the emotional core of Cobb and Mal in Inception (or to the point of the video, the emotional journey of Fischer coming to terms with his Father’s death and the kind of person he’ll become in his wake). I mean, Nolan *specifically* held us at arm’s length by naming the protagonist of Tenet... the Protagonist. I have to really reach for a connection that could very easily just be speculation on my part (the Neil/Max theory). As a fan of Memento, I adore Nolan’s clockwork-like mechanics of his films that operate on multiple levels, and while the Pincer maneuver of Tenet is full of bombast and spectacle, it doesn’t compare to the emotional core of Memento either (which has it’s own gimmick, but that also defines it’s protagonist entirely and the story wouldn’t exist without the ways that character is manipulated, and self-manipulates). Tenet was interesting to watch, but probably at the bottom of my list of Nolan films, right above Insomnia. It just needed better characterization. Especially if they were going to risk the fate of the world on the actions of a man whose name we don’t even know and his emotional feelings towards a person that very nearly dooms the world for revenge, lol.

@Latest Obsession That heart is quite cold compared to every other Nolan movie IMO. I didn’t care one bit what happened to the characters.

It's because he's got like no neck, I didn't realize it untill I read your comment

DICAPRIPALUZA

I always used to say that UNTIL this movie, it’s the first time I finally perceived him as a grown up

@Damian Kyle I don't know. I haven't seen it.

@Damian Kyle I haven't seen it either I only know about that movie cuz Caravan of Garbage once covered the movie.

Awesome comment! It makes me wonder if he is dialing in on a different way to tell a story with cinema every movie, for the sake of learning, and dialing down some aspects of storytelling to do so too.

Agreed, whomst'ever is this

i immediately think pitch meeting

hes from here. with his glorious locks

I love bens vids because he never has to talk over himself. James and Mason have a bad habit of constantly talking over eachother in order to drag out a joke and it gets exhausting to listen to sometimes. This was a nice breath of fresh air

I genuinely was going to but I thought "no one would get this"

@@BenFromCanada haha never underestimate the nerdiness of your fans

But we never find out if Peter really is stabbing him in the back. It's a conceit created by the team, and Robert has a hunch, but it could just be paranoia. They might have ruined his good relationship with his Godfather, the closest thing to family in his grieving, and someone who knows the company better than him. And all that was done so they could get THEIR rewards. They're horrible people.

I only found out that a few years ago

Yes! I miss those so much.

Except this is waaaay better than anything by Cracked.

Cracked After Hours was dope in its heydey dawg. Highly recommend giving it a go.
