At a time when films based on previously established IPs are dominating the box office, Christopher Nolan is an exception and has repeatedly showcased his brilliance by crafting several original gems. But among the plethora of big hits that the director has delivered on the big screen, Inception remains one of his most complex works and an indication of his remarkable creative mind.
Upon its release, the Leonardo DiCaprio-led film made headlines and for all the right reasons as the film challenges the audience to expand their thinking. However, in order to make the viewing experience a little bit less convoluted for the audience, television broadcasters in Japan took special measures.
Television broadcasters in Japan took special measures to combat Inception‘s confusing plot
During its runtime, Christopher Nolan‘s Inception keeps getting more convoluting and expects the audience to pay full attention in order to enjoy the sci-fi to its fullest. However, with characters jumping from dream to dream, it can become a bit confusing for fans to keep up with the things happening onscreen. And in order to combat this issue, TV broadcasters in Japan decided to include text in the upper-left corner of their screen to help viewers understand at which level of the dream the particular scene is taking place.
Although it can be a bit stressful to keep up with all the moving pieces in the story, investing full attention in the film definitely pays off, making it one of the most rewatchable films in Nolan’s filmography.
Oppenheimer will have a similar ending to Inception
With weeks remaining before Christopher Nolan’s next project hit the big screens, the director explained the ending of Oppenheimer is pretty similar to 2010’s Inception. Even years after its release, the ending of Inception still remains an interesting point of discussion among netizens, as the ambiguous ending left the door open for multiple interpretations. And it seems Oppenheimer‘s ending might resemble the same uncertainty as Inception, even though it might have a more concrete conclusion. Nolan explained,
“I mean, the end of ‘Inception,’ it’s exactly that. There is a nihilistic view of that ending, right?… The ambiguity is not an emotional ambiguity. It’s an intellectual one for the audience. It’s funny, I think there is an interesting relationship between the endings of Inception and Oppenheimer to be explored. Oppenheimer’s got a complicated ending. Complicated feelings.”
With fans engrossed to witness the Cillian Murphy-led movie, it’s reasonable to be optimistic about the film, which might be the next big thing in Christopher Nolan’s filmography.
Oppenheimer will hit theatres on 21 July 2023.
