By adding the word "really" you are implying that it is poposterious that this film could even be considered oscar worthy. That in itself is rediculious if you know anything about the current state of the academy. Obviously. Don't try to make the phrase "oscar worthy" seem like some unobtainable goal. That shit is ALWAYS relative, and look at some of the movies that are far shittier than inception from the past, that WON BEST PICTURE. Even in a good year this film would be nominated for something, and so far, it certainly is the best live action film yet released in 2010 imho. I'm a bit shocked actually, that anyone from this forum would share enough of my interests to be able to debate me on something like this, but you seem bound and determined to push your opinion to the point of sheer irritation, so I'll further respond. You implied earlier that this film has no characterization, and even proclaimed that I must either not know what that means, or have not seen the film. You've been rather free wheeling with your spoilers, but I won't be, because I'm not that kind of guy. I've seen it. I know that all the characters weren't fully realized due to time constraints. However, the characters that were realized, were EXCELLENT. Most notable, Fischer came through as a surprising delight, and of course Cobb was fucking epic. That said, I meant to speak generally about how great and subtle the character development is. This is NOT anime. This is high level movie making, and you have to actually draw a lot of conclusions here, but again, the character development is top notch. I am fully invested by the crescendo. IMO, Nolan has shewn himself to be a fantastic director. He has yet to make a shitty film. Inception is possibly his best one yet, and I fucking loved it. That being the case, it certainly is oscar worthy, because I don't love anything. I think we'll see at least a nod for best director since we're probably pulling from 10 and we haven't seen anything even remotely close yet, but who the fuck cares. The academy is genre biased, and irrelivant. |
So you are saying that in a 2 hour and a 30 minute movie he didn't have time do develop 4 of the main characters as well as severly under-use Michael Kane's character?
You don't need a lot of time to develop a character and give it a personality. James Cameron for example knows how to give a personality to pretty much anything that is on screen for more than 30 seconds. The horse which Arnold rode in True Lies had as much personality if not more than Arthur from Inception.
In any case, I won't post here anymore. This became a bickering fest I really did not wan it to be.
If the movie wins an Oscar, kudos to Nolan.
