Yeah, Cruise has been too much of an ego starting around 2005 once he had a mid-life crisis post-Kidman. If he had worked with Nolan during his Eyes Wide Shut, Minority Report, Magnolia, Collateral era, the Nolan/Cruise duo would've been unstoppable. Cruise would be great now in a supporting role, l...

Well, and there's personal responsibility and the question of his "moral compass" in the end, too. He knew the apple was poison and chose to prevent it from being bitten, because he was the one responsible for poisoning it. But in the case of the bomb, the response is different. "I only put the pois...

So I'm sure the apple has been discussed, but I just think it's brilliant. Oppie has a sphere that he has injected poison into, and he knows what it does, but his professor doesn't, and because of this, Oppie's conscience gets the better of him and he stops the apple from being bitten into.

I'm glad it's not Bond. To me it feels sort of like if Scorsese did a reboot of The Godfather or something. It's like, "Yeah, we know he can do it. We know it makes sense. But can we have something else?" It's three years of a filmmaker's life, and we already know all the trademarks and tropes and h...

Don't try to understand it... feel it.

Does anyone know if Nolan is a Brian De Palma fan? I was watching Carrie (1976) last night and couldn't help but notice that the sound design during the prom climax is eerily similar to when Oppie is addressing the crowd in the stands and having his breakdown moment. The similar classical nature of ...
