We create the dream

Inception (2010) from the direction of Christopher Nolan. This film is personally one of my favorites with its brilliant editing and graphics bring the concept of breaking in to a person's dream real, like it was actually possible. "The artistic and commerical choices that shape a film- what a movie looks and sounds like- are the starting point of any film experience." (pg 11) When one looks at the film Inception for the first time you are blinded by the effects and by the idea of the possiblity to break in to someone's dream. Moments like the fight scene in the rotating hall way and the slow motion fall Cobb took into the bath tub make you believe that it may just be possible to place yourself in to another persons dream. Films are living and moving pieces of art. Inception is a perfect example of living moving art. Every camera movement, every angle and every placement of lighting is a part of the a piece of art. "A so- called auteur film, from the French word for author, is taken to reveal the personality of the directo. " (pg. 464) Christopher Nolan the director of Inception we see him in the film. How he decides how each of the characters should react, think, dress, speak, and move. Every little detail we see a piece of the director and the type of person he or she might be. However most people don't really realize who the director is so not many really take any notice that the film they are watching or have just seen is a piece of a person that they have never met, spoke to or even seen before. However as time as gone on people have slowly taken some notice to the people that are creating these beautiful works of art that we pay to spend a few hours to escape in to. In to another world, someone else's world. However most of the directors are recognized like, Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard or Rob Reiner, only because they themselves were or are actors themselves. Some but very few are remembered and recognized by the impacted the movies they have made has made on the movie industry. Steven Spielberg is by far the most recognizable name of directors. In a interview with Christopher Nolan he talks about how his best ideas come from his dreams. Which is rather poetic that his film is based on dreams and the planting of a simple idea in to someone else's mind and having it build and form in that person's mind. Reception Theory, " A theoretical approach to the ways different kinds of audience regard different kind of films." (pg 553) In todays's world there are three different ways people react to films. One: They are impressed by it and have a enjoyable experience, but they didn't really get anything out of the film it was just okay to them. Two: They fell in love with the movie and will reccomen it to everyone that they know. Three: The ones who become obessed with the film. Theses are the films that have a die hard cult following. Some are: The Harry Potter series which has a high dedicated and loyal fanbase. The Twilight series The Star Wars Saga and The Back to the future Trilogy even has a dedicated fanbase but isn't as high and talked about or as intense as the ones listed above.
