This is what Nolan said about Star Wars and Inception Mix Send a noteboard - 24/07/2010 12:33:24 AM

I was almost 11 when it came out and I used to like getting a seat right in front of the screen. I remember sitting there with my jaw hung open with the Star Destroyer flew across the on the opening scene. There had never been anything even close to that made before. My friends and I would go to the first Sunday matinee and watch it three times in row before they would kick us for the evening shows. I saw it about 25 times in the theater that summer.

But the story it self was not very orignal.

For his part, Nolan had one specific goal in mind when he decided to take a detour from Gotham City and head straight into "Inception." "I think, for me, my whole career in making films, really every time I set out to make a film, I want to try and give somebody in the audience the experience I had watching ['Star Wars'], where it really felt like anything was possible in that world," he said. "That's a really extraordinary experience to have as a moviegoer. I think that's the highest aspiration of the Hollywood blockbuster."

Well, the rotating fight scene in the hotel was pretty damn impressive for starters. Darth_Katie - 22/07/2010 11:36:44 PM 545 Views

I think there is a difference between "totally original" and "truly original". Mix - 23/07/2010 05:37:45 AM 542 Views

the special effects were impressive random thoughts - 23/07/2010 02:42:53 PM 432 Views
