I guess it's hard to make something completely new these days. Even the matrix steals from tons of other movies!<br /><br />Glad I could help out with pointing you to the LAMB. Hopefully see you around in the blogosphere in future ( :Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-66327532916809678982010-08-04T06:17:36.934-07:002010-08-04T06:17:36.934-07:00Thank you for your comment on my blog, much apprec...Thank you for your comment on my blog, much appreciated! When my blog is old enough I will follow your advice and join the LAMB.<br /><br />As you can see from my blog I perhaps saw this movie in a slightly more positive light (not to say I don't see where you're coming from because I certainly do). As you mentioned character development was limited and you don't really learn much about the past of the characters etc. The thing I would say (and this applies to a lot of large scale movies with so much ground to cover) is that it possibly would have been to the detriment of the plot to use time developing all of the characters. The plot in Inception is challenging to a lot of people the first time they watch it and I think Cobb's past was the only one that was truly intrinsic to the structure of it. I think blockbusters are definitely more aimed at entertaining people than making them think, although I believe the concept of dreams was handles beautifully. It's still no Memento though!<br /><br />Definitely not the 3rd best movie ever made, but to be honest there are quite a few flaws in the iMDB top 250 (i.e. Kill Bill vol.2 and Back to the Future certainly don't belong there lol).<br /><br />Again thank you, I will be following your blog keenly! BTW I will be doing a blog on Studio Ghibli soon so keep your eyes peeled! xSam Lockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354190574814788941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-22980663985451758282010-08-03T16:20:23.603-07:002010-08-03T16:20:23.603-07:00Lovely, lovely movie.Lovely, lovely movie.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085105568601878075noreply@blogger.com
