Yeah, it won many awards in my award ceremony, such as:
"Most Obvious Imagery in a Motion Picture"

:surrender

Yeah, I hated that film.

I did think of a film I liked with him though, Blood Diamond. He had a good South African accent in it too

I assume you are talking of TMITIM. :)

Just got back from seeing it. Yes pretty excessive in the music dept. Good premise although a repeat of the idea in Dreamscape a 1984 movie starring Dennis Quaid, when he was a young wipper snapper. I guess 20+ years is long enough not to gripe about a remake. ;) This story was much more polished. Intriguing. Felt a little muddled at first but I was able to commit. I'll have mull it over and watch it again when it goes to DVD before I'll really know if I liked it. :) One thing I don't like is
unresolved
endings. It keeps you guessing.

You really have to give a movie about dreams a lot of latitude. My dreams are never as clear as this movie makes out. If they really tried to represent a person's dream it would be such a disorganized mess. Although I have had dream episodes that were pretty well organized and exciting to, an adventure dream, but short lived.

For those who have seen it it really got my attention when
entering someone else's dream went from relatively safe, to extremely dangerous
. You gotta have a threat or who cares? :) I also really liked that his guilt
was masquerading around in his dreams as his wife
. I give it 7/10.

Lets do an informal poll: Who thinks he actually made it back
to Reality
?

1= Yes.
2= No.
3= Undecided

IMHO, the clues say
he did not make it, but with the uncertain way events finished, he might have, except they did not let you see if that damn top was gonna stop spinning or not.
:D

Try not to spoil. At this point I'm undecided. :D

The music was very similar to The Dark Knight which Nolan also did.

and
I don't think it matters if the top stopped spinning or not or if he was in reality or not - that's not the point of the movie. I think the point is to say we all live in our own reality type thing...but I think it bothers most of us Americans that we can't know the ending

Saw it tonight, and I liked it...in spite of the fact I never understood one word Saito said.

Why just Americans? I think anyone who is involved in the story would prefer resolution. I don't believe in individual realities. Now that would be upsetting. :)

Because Americans are more obsessed with the happy ending than other cultures...and we are saying too much.

Downloaded a fairly decent version of this last night...

Got 20 minutes in and turned it off. Glad I didn't go to the cinema!
