Varda, 1961) and Inception(Dir. Nolan, 2010). Agnes Varda’s Paris is very different from Christopher Nolan’s Paris in visualization, audio and themes, and the distinctions in representations are caused by the differences in genre, time, objectives and gender of the directors.

  • Inception Movie Analysis

    During the ten years that Nolan took to write the screenplay for Inception, Nolan has carefully hidden so much detail for the audience to absorb and interpret, that it’s almost impossible to catch every single clue. From the names of the characters, to specific reappearing numbers, to the exact length of the film, every little detail has a purpose and meaning, and every single detail builds up on Nolan’s goal- to incept the audience. As somebody that has watched Inception 5 times, I can definitely tell you that although Inception isn’t one of those alien-space-battle type of movies, it is without doubt included in the genre of science-fiction. The film is a story about human beings, with a human problem and solution- but nothing in the film would have happened without the scientific content. And Inception wouldn’t be as much of a well-known film with millions of conspiracies and theories, if it wasn’t for the ambiguity and Nolan’s sneaky inception on the audience.
