DiCaprio got the pretty boy rap from Titanic and Titanic only. He had some stellar performances before then (BB Diaries, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape). He’s actually been on record as saying he regretted doing Titanic because it was hard for him to be taken seriously after that.

Your forgetting that Romeo and Juliet shit.
Anyway I am seeing this tonight. I think Nolan is a genius. His movies are intelligent, fun, and occasionally even deep.
Why you hating on William Shakespeare? The daggers were awesome in that film.

lol Bill Shakespear’s all cool with me. Annnnd yes there was some beautiful custom gatz in that movie as well.
But it made DiCaprio look like a… like a PONCE. A sissy. A dandy, and modern “white boyz” type wanna be gangster all at the same time. Not good.
Listen to that dude screech and whine like a pre pubescent little girl ruined that movie for me.

Lol, I actually liked that movie but it would have been cool if they changed the script a little and had DiCaprio play a badass.

I think he was a bit of a bitch back then. But he’s grown up now, into a good actor.
I just got back from seeing it. It’s a VERY dense movie and it’s going to take some time to digest, to fully form my opinion of it. I can tell you that it’s hands down the best movie I’ve seen this summer, possibly so far this year. I can also tell you that as soon as I get back down to Tampa when the fall semester starts I’m going to go see it in the IMAX theater next to campus.

What did you think of the hallway scene, in my opinion that was one of the coolest action sequences I have ever seen.
Given what the Wachowskis had to work with, I’d say it surpassed what was in the Matrix.

Agreed. It is a stunning piece of storytelling. When it ended it felt like I woke up from my own dream.
This movie was amazing. Definitely now one of my top fave movies of all time.

I knew he wouldn’t disappoint. If you’re not intellectually lazy it’s very engaging.
Leo keeps getting crazy wives in these recent movies.

Do you think the top was going to stop spinning in the final shot or just continue?

It really doesn’t matter. There are a lot of things that could have be implied by the ending, not just the two obvious outcomes.

Agreed with schultzie. Two of the plots were resolved; what’s-his-face breaking up his company and Cobb finally finding closure with his guilt. To leave the third open, whether or not he ever made it out of his deep level dream, is kind of fun.

Ahh, but if Cobb was still in a dream, all we can really know is that he has resolved his guilt. We can’t truly know whether or not the job was a success, or Cobb was just lost further down the rabbit hole. I don’t think it was ever made clear how much time elapsed since Cobb first fled the U.S. and when the events of the film took place.
I do remember Michael Caine having said that it will take more than the occasional gift from their grandfather to make them believe they still have a father, or something to that effect, which would imply that some time has passed since he had to leave the country. The children don’t appear to have grown or changed in appearance at all since Cobb last saw them, and if it’s been a few years then something is obviously wrong there.
If anyone remembers how much time had elapsed since Cobb last saw his children and when the film takes place it would do a lot to clarify this.

Everybody else responded to The Kick as planned, and in the 1st level dream world Fischer revealed “his” idea of breaking up the company.
The children sounded awfully young in the telephone conversation, and were happy to hear from Daddy, so he may have been on the lam for a year at most.

Did the 5 minutes equals an hour thing apply for each level I can’t remember. If so Cobb an his wife were lost for about ten years. So there kids would be older than what we saw.
And we did see the team finish when they were in the water and when Cilian Murphy’s character was talking to his godfather. We don’t know if the last plane ride was part of Cobb’s dream though or any if any of the movie was in fact reality.

Five minutes equals an hour for each successive level, but there’s no telling how far down Cobb and his wife went. Besides, if they were under for 10 years real time their children would have been 10 years older. And Cobb and Mal would probably have woken up in hospital beds rather than on the floor of their house, since people who didn’t know any better would have thought they were in comas.
