Leonardo DiCaprio, star of Inception, was recently interviewed by Inquirer about no longer being the star of “the biggest movie” of all time. After saying very nice things about his experience on Titanic, what he thought of Avatar, and what it was like starring in Shutter Island, he went on to talk about working with Christopher Nolan in Inception.
“I don’t know what I’m allowed to say about Inception†the actor said after chuckling. “I don’t even know what I’m allowed to say about Shutter Island, to be quite honest.†Instead, he talked about the two filmmakers: “Both Chris and Martin are great directors. The material and its complexity are what I’m attracted to. I’m not happy if I don’t have a lot to do. I’ve been lucky to work with people who want to tell stories that hit on different cylinders simultaneously. Shutter Island is definitely that.â€
“Chris [is] delving into dream psychoanalysis and, at the same time, making a high-octane, surreal film that came from his mind. He wrote the entire thing, and it all made sense to him. It didn’t make sense to many of us when we were doing it. We had to do a lot of detective work (laughing) to figure out what the movie was about.â€
Will anyone figure out what Inception is about? Let’s hope so. Read the rest of the article at Inquirer.net. Thanks to Jake088800 for the tip

Nice to finally see him talking about it. Ha! He didn’t even know what was going on. It’s Inquirer.net, just an fyi.

Just a clarification: the “Inquirer” is not the same as the tabloid magazine “National Enquirer”. The “Inquirer’ is a legitimate major Philippine daily newspaper that reports world events, local politics, world entertainment and local(Philippine) entertainment news and not a tabloid at all like its almost namesake, the tabloid “The National Enquirer”. The writer, Ruben Napales, is the foreign correspondent for the “Inquirer” and is based in Los Angeles. He is also a member, I think, of the Hollywood Foreign Press association, the group that gives out the Gloden Globe awards.
The interview with Leonardo Dicaprio is excellent.

You guys should start acknowledging who first tipped you off with these stories (this honestly has nothing to do with the fact that I did this one ha). This is one of the few places that doesn’t do that consistently.

Which one’s which on the photo lol.
That’s rather worrying mind that the cast have no idea what the film is about. The last two films I watched where the cast were clueless about the film were Southland Tales and I Heart Huckabees.
Not very good films either.

South Land Tales and I Heart Huckabees were convoluted messes from directors with questionable success on previous films. Nolan on the other hand has a great track record at making complicated films that are critical and commercial successes.
In short, if anyone and weave a complicated and confusing film that will satisfy critics and audiences and make sense when it opens in theater’s, Nolan’s the guy to pull it off.

Many of the actors in Memento said the much of the same thing about how they didn’t understand it. I think Leo is exaggerating for humour.

What? A blockbuster that requires you to think and put the pieces together yourself instead of being spoon-fed? Get the heck out of here.

Batman in Inception? Yeah, I know Inception is weird but THAT weird I don’t think so… nice pic!
