The movie "Inception" is not at all difficult to understand, amirite?

I don't think the concept is confusing. However, I can see keeping track of which character is in which level of the dream world and how the rules of these dream worlds are exploited to execute the heist could be perplexing on the first time watching.

This is exactly how I feel about Inception. It's a fun action movie. It's not even calling attention to itself in terms of being convoluted. It's just a fun movie!

What does it mean?

by Lynchnarciso 1 day ago

Easier to say on a movie that came out 15 years ago that you probably have seen every meme under the son to prep your brain for what it entails. Saw the movie when it first came out in theatres. There was little online of what the movie was going to even entail. It was confusing, but intentionally confusing, designed to be a brain twister that took time afterwards to get a bit more. Now TENET. That movie STILL doesn't make sense

Ehhh sure dream within a dream probably is but I just watched the trailer and they set up very obvious that it's about going into dreams and stealing things so a lot of people would have gone into it with the vague background of that. Dream within a dream from there really isn't that much of a stretch

Nah. Wasn't confusing in theatres either.

Watched Inception when it came out. Not complex at all. I watched Tenet a year ago. It made sense to me after pausing and rewatching the bullet scene. I was left very disappointed for the rest of the movie because it all makes sense and I saw the twist at the end coming a mile away.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

ok wait, the bullet makes sense to you? you're the guy I've been looking for then. Can you please explain to me how tf the bullets were already in the walls?

by Kianna79 1 day ago

So the gun and statipnary bullet in the wall is moving backwards through time. From the guns perspective. Its already shot the bullet. When someone picks up the gun and shoots it. They arent shooting it really. The bullet is being unfired. So the bullet launches from the wall, hits the intended target, and inserts itself back into the bullet casing within the gun. Which is where it was before it was shot. And the gun continues to move backwards in time.

And the gun continues to move backwards in time. see, I understand this but it's not explaining how the bullet got in the wall. If the protagonist is moving forward through time and he uses a reverse gun to unshoot a bullet that's in the wall, that means someone had to have shot that bullet into the wall in the future for it to get there, because we'd just seen what the Protagonist did, and it wasn't shoot a bullet into the wall. But even then it couldn't have come from the gun that the protagonist had used because it didn't have the bullet in it.. unless you're telling me someone far into the future uses the gun to shoot the wall so that there will be bullets in the wall for people in the past to unshoot???

by Kianna79 1 day ago

"Don't try to understand it. Feel it" But basically, TENET in the far future has passed the bullets through a turnstile and send them back in time. The gun these bullets were supposed to be fired from is , however travelling forward in time. This results in bullets being in the wall, until the protagonist shoots the gun. The protagonist shooting the gun is the reason why bullets are in the wall, but since the bullets are travelling endlessly back in time, from our point of view they were already there.

Tenet is straight up not a good movie.

by Hour_Promotion 1 day ago

I saw it when it first came out and I was 15. It really isn't that hard to understand, even without a decade and a half of inception based shenanigan media. The movie explains everything to you pretty well.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I also didn't find it confusing the first time I watched it, but I understood how people could find it confusing. I'm not saying the movie is intrinsically impossible to understand, it just makes much more sense why so many people were confused when you keep in mind the difference between now and then

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I'm saw it when it first came out, around the same age. I missed a key detail at the beginning due to someone sitting down in front of us and it threw off my understanding of the entire movie (I can't remember what it was now). There is a ton of information given in a couple of short spans at the beginning of the movie that are very key to understanding the plot - yes it's thorough which is helpful, but it's still a lot at once. The second time I saw it, it immediately all clicked when I got the information I missed the first time. My point is that I think it's easy to get confused early in that movie the first time watching it and have it make the whole movie make less sense, especially if coming in with no background information.

Some people just have trouble with any story where time is manipulated. My wife is a very intelligent woman, but she just understands stories differently, so even if it's just a story told in an order that isn't chronological will frustrste her. Memento is rage inducing for people like her.

Bryan Cranston said that a great actor can only elevate the material one letter grade. If you give them C material, the best they can do is a B

Although i believe Bryan could bump C tier material to an A. He's one of the few imo.

I enjoyed the movie but my takeaway was damn so that was just another movie where the entire plot revolves around the idea that poor Leo just really misses his dead wife.

IT was more about the really good effects that a deep or evolving story. Doesn't mean it's not good but its effects will be superceded and the film will become dated.

Agreed. I hated that movie and hardly remember it now since I saw it in theatres, but at the time, it was HUGE and everyone LOVED it and whenever I said I didn't like it, every person just assumed I hadn't understood it. It isn't hard to grasp, but I didn't like it.

It's not confusing. It's the end where you're left wondering if we're really all the way out or still in a dream layer.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I think people mean different things when they say this. It's not hard to watch the movie and not be totally lost—the movie is clear about this causing this causing that. It is kind of fussy to explain the precise mechanics underlying the layers, dream machines, kicks, totems, blah blah blah. I'm sure all of it doesn't quite make perfect sense. I don't think the movie is super smart or heady, and I'm sure even Nolan would say he didn't want you to draw a diagram while watching. (But it's kinda fun to look at a diagram afterward.)

My friends hyped it up so much. It wasnt hard to follow at all. Also all the dreamworlds seem to be designed by Infinity Ward.

How was there deeper layers to the dreams? Surely you're either awake, or asleep and dreaming. If you fall asleep in a dream, you don't go into another layer of dream, you're still in the first one. They are contiguous and don't stack

by Danykawilliamso 22 hours ago

It's simple if you accept the assumption that the movie starts and ends in "real life" but that's not necessarily the case. Maybe his wife was right and they were still one or more layers down. There's a small moment where the Asian dude is trying to hire dicapro and he says "take a leap of faith with me" which is the same exact thing his wife says when she jumps out the window. This could be coincidence but also could be a sign that he is a projection of dicaprios mind.
