I watched it that many times to be sure that I thought I knew what it was about.

I loved it. And I even loved the ambiguity at end. If you wanted to think he was still in the dream, you could make your case.

You didn't inspire me to see it. <br />I have seen most of David Lynch's films and believe he is at his best when he is constrained by his medium or his financiers... Twin Peaks was awesome. In Mulholland drive he took way to many liberties and lost the story, without being interesting. Not sure if The Sixth Sense meets your definition of mind-bender... but it is one of my all-time favorites.Munkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921320770712443773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-70206587325933826122011-08-26T10:18:00.015-07:002011-08-26T10:18:00.015-07:00I love Memento and Inception.

After it was over, we all sat in silence for probably a minute. Finally, I turned to my buddy and said, "I think I liked it." "He turned and said, "I think I did too." Then his brother turned to both of us and said, "You're both idiots." It was great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267734306990507829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-89607918319991905462011-08-26T10:06:05.044-07:002011-08-26T10:06:05.044-07:00I think I'm the only person in the world that ...I think I'm the only person in the world that didn't like Inception.

I lose patience with stuff like this quickly if it feels too self-indulgent. If I can see a reason for the weirdness I'll stick with it, but sometimes I think people are just tripping. :)Luanne G.

Somehting told me it was coming. I feel sorry for Hollywood actors faced with directors who want to dig deep and run mentally crazy. <br /><br />Of your five...I have enjoyed all of them for their depth of creativity while still being accesible more than I enjoyed Tree of Life. Synecdoche, New York I think is still beyond me, but the other four I really love for their challenge and technical compsition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311374271571362187noreply@blogger.com
