I never saw this post earlier, but this was always my sentiment with this movie. As much as I love it, I truly feel the only people who really understood what were going on with the movie were Christopher Nolan and Lee Smith. Any actors, set designers, and even Emma Thomas and Wally Pfister were probably only about 65% coherent at best during production.Ace wrote: ↑January 6th, 2020, 4:14 pmLeonardo DiCaprio Still Baffled by ‘Inception’ 10 Years Later: ‘What Happened? No Idea’
“That’s like ‘Inception’ for me. What happened? I have no idea,” DiCaprio said as the three men laughed. “You’re just focused on your character, man. I do get involved [with the story], but when it came to Christopher Nolan and his mind and how [‘Inception’] was was all pieced together, everyone was trying to constantly put that puzzle together.”
When Maron asked DiCaprio if the movie made sense, the actor responded, “Well, it depends on the eye of the beholder, I guess.”
Team Deakins sits down with production designer, Guy Hendrix Dyas. We cover many subjects, including the importance of drawing and illustrating for Production Designers, the need for learning the director’s visual language, forming a relationship with a new director, and the sadness he feels at the end of each project. Guy shares his experiences of working with Terry Gilliam, Shekhar Kapur, and Chris Nolan. He breaks down the set in Inception that was in the snow and the challenges that it brought and talks about the Japanese influence on the design of Inception.

It is he who refuses. I myself saw him turn down a Christopher Nolan film where he would be the protagonist. We were at his house and he called Christopher Nolan, they were on the phone for half an hour during which Will told him he wasn’t going to make the movie. He explained to me frankly what he hadn’t been able to tell Nolan, which was that he had read the script and hadn’t understood anything about it, hadn’t really understood what he was talking about. Leonardo DiCaprio then accepted that role: it was Inception ”.
