Inception
-The Shooting Script by Christopher Nolan, who has enchanted us recently with
Oppenheimer http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/08/oppenheimer-by-christopher-nolan.html and other gems
9 out of 10
Christopher
Nolan is the man of the day for the Screen Trade – there is a classic called
Adventures in The Screen Trade http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/02/adventures-in-screen-trade-by-william.html by William Goldman, that will
explain this phenomenon and so much more, it is a scripture for the thespian
arts
He has
recently bewitched audiences with his Oppenheimer – but before I plunge into a
different subject, and abandon altogether, or for the most part Inception, let
me say that the latter is fascinating, bewildering, dazzling, but often
incomprehensible for yours truly, so, with that out of the way, this would be a
disclaimer, spoiler alert, warning, you name it, thus maybe there is no
complaint or retaliation
Christopher
Nolan is the favorite to win at the next Academy Awards Best Motion Picture and
Best Director for Oppenheimer – so far, Variety appears to be correct in its
prediction, this looks like the most spectacular, elating movie, even if The
Killer https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2023/11/one-of-best-films-of-2023-killer.html is also a favorite for yours truly,
enchanted by the performance of Michael Fassbender
I have just
started May December, who was on the list of memorable productions for this
year, and indeed, thirty minutes or so into it, we can see that this could well
be a contender, especially for Natalie Portman (who spoke recently about her
luck in not being affected by her being in the movies at a tender age, she was prominent
in Leon The Professional, working with Jean Reno and Gary Oldman)
It is
interesting that Cillian Murphy is expected to get an Oscar nomination for his
role as Robert Oppenheimer (he was also present in Inception, where he plays a
young man who might give access to the team who wants a code, stolen in sleep)
but the one expected to win is Bradley Cooper, impressive and wondrous
Bradley
Cooper directs and stars in Maestro, where he is Leonard Bernstein, the famed
concert director and composer – he is the one who wrote the music for West Side
Story https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2023/11/one-of-best-films-of-2023-killer.html based on Romeo and Juliet, the
original won Ten Academy Awards, and the more recent yarn, directed by Steven
Spielberg was also one of the best films in recent years
Inception
has sleep and dreams at the core, and that is a hard subject to grasp, I have
trouble remembering what I have just dreamt, never mind penetrating into the
minds of others, to steal secrets from them while they sleep, which is what
those characters do in the narrative that is somewhat surreal.
On the
other hand, what happens is enticing, audiences are hypnotized by the magic of
the filmed story, there are car chases, and the sets are superb, due to Ariadne
aka Elliot Page, at the time going by the name Ellen Page, she seems to have
changed her sex in the meantime, something we understand better if we read
Girl, Woman, Other, Co-Winner of The Booker Prize in 2021 by Bernardine
Evaristo
Girl,
Woman, Other http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/06/girl-woman-other-by-bernardine-evaristo.html talks about the fact that ‘gender
is the big lie of civilization’ (or perhaps something like that) we have Two
Spirits, gender fluid, and the notion that gender can (maybe does) change from
one minute to the next
Christopher
Nolan is known for his insistence that we see his films (and maybe all the
others that are worthy) in the cinema theater, most of all in IMAX – we could
not do that, but watching Oppenheimer on the big screen was an enrapturing
experience – it is also an inflexion point and it marks a key moment
About
twenty years ago, I went to see Cold Mountain http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/01/cold-mountain.html which was filmed in the area and
right next to my house, which was then in the mountains, at Rasnov, the tents
where Jude Law meets with Nicole Kidman were a few hundred meters from my abode
We drove to
the places where they had the village in the movie and the rest of it, seeing
as they had all that firepower, Ray Winstone, Philip Seymour Hoffman and others
were part of the same project directed by Anthony Minghella, so we had there
all the necessary ingredients for a superb motion picture
Alas, it
was a huge let down, and I remember being bored at the Vitan Mall, where I went
on my own -I guess the spouse was with our daughter, Hannah, who was just a
toddler back then, now it would be out of the question for the same wife to
come along, for we live in the same house, since we could not get anything near
the same standard, if divorced, but we are often worse than strangers, we are
foes
Indeed,
studies show that married people live longer, happier lives, then come the
divorced, but worst of all are the ones that stay married, in marital
situations where they fight, and these contexts are exactly as if one is in a
car crash every single day – to avoid it, one should read the classic of
psychology The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work http://realini.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-seven-principles-of-making-marriage.html by the ultimate expert on couples,
John Gottman, one Magister that has an accuracy rate of over 90%, he just hears
a few minutes of interaction and is able to say which couples will separate,
and which will stay together…he is included in another classic, Blink, The
Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell…
Now for a
question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more
than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world – as it is, this is a unique technique, which
we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make
lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not
know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se
As for my
role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html
Some
favorite quotes from To The Heritage and other works
‘Fiction is
infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or
Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the
careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more
moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating,
noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment,
twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can
experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more,
books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order
of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who
provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful
mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that
wise epic by an often foolish author…’
‚parturiunt
montes, nascetur ridiculus mus’
“From Monty
Python - The Meaning of Life...Well, it's nothing very special...Try and be
nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some
walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all
creeds and nations.”
