Have you ever been so moved by the impact of the power of cinematic stories that you ended up crying and thinking about the intricate details of a plot long after the film ends? Leonardo DiCaprio’s scene from Inception, the masterpiece by Christopher Nolan, does exactly that, encapsulating an emotional resonance that can still leave many of us affected.
A quick recall: After spending so many years in exile overseas, veteran dream thief Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) finally came clean of murder charges. To make sure he is not still dreaming, Cobb chose to give his totem one last spin as he entered his house.

Christopher Nolan’s Inception was widely regarded as the celebrated director’s best movie before Oppenheimer, and it still holds its own against the march of time. Captivating, convoluted, and visually stunning, Inception takes its viewers for a bizarre ride in someone’s head alongside an experienced dream thief, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Dom Cobb. But as per Nolan’s nature, the movie’s finale is ambiguous.
Inception’s Has the Most Talked-About Ending
Christopher Nolan managed to truly break into his audience’s minds with Inception. During the course of the movie, we learn that Cobb has a special totem he spins to learn whether he’s in a dream or in the real world — but as he gets his happily ever after, the viewers get a decade of frustration because of the final scene’s uncertainty.

Carol Kohl is sitting on a train. No, she isn’t waiting for Dom Cobb to take her far away, but she is waiting for… something. Her watch is ticking, even though it doesn’t have any hands. The train isn’t moving. She’s completely alone. In an adjacent car, Carol (voiced by Martha Kelly) can see a horde of happy commuters staring back at her. A couple clad in suits of seaweed clink champagne flutes. A scuba diver swims through the air, between balloons floating like jellyfish. A bride raises her glass to toast Carol from across the tracks.
But Carol can only watch, and sit, and wait. Suddenly, her conductor chimes in to say this train is no longer in service. It powers down. The lights go out. The doors open. When Carol gets up to leave, she sees another version of herself sitting by the door.

Cillian Murphy's latest role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" has garnered significant buzz and critical acclaim, with some predicting that his intimate, complex portrayal of the man behind the atomic bomb will earn him an Oscar nomination. Though Murphy is undoubtedly brilliant in the biographical epic, the Irish actor has had over 25 years of preparation for the role through a number of projects in film, TV, and theater.
Murphy, like many actors, began his acting career on stage. In 1996, he made his stage debut in Enda Walsh's play "Disco Pigs," which was later adapted into a feature film starring Murphy in 2001. By the early 2000s, the actor took on several roles, but his role as Jim in the post-apocalyptic horror film "28 Days Later" propelled him into Hollywood. In 2005, he starred in "Batman Begins" and began what would become a decades-long collaborative friendship with Christopher Nolan.

We all have our favorite movies, and they may have changed over time. As a child, there was nothing better than “The Last Starfighter” and “The Neverending Story,” I couldn’t wait to go back to my grandparents to catch them on HBO (we didn’t have cable in the country). And I would go back in time and wait in that ridiculously long line to watch “Batman” in theaters again.

In Christopher Nolan's 2010 film "Inception," Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character named Dom Cobb who works for a mysterious spy organization with the ability to infiltrate other people's dreams. Using a bizarre, suitcase-sized device, he and his fellow suit-wearing agents can enter into a surreal dream space where time moves differently (a few hours in the dream world is but a few minutes in the waking world). Also, when in Dreamland, the agents are subject to the whims of the dreamers, and cities have the ability to fold over without notice. Also, one's own bad memories, traumas, and nightmares can, if one doesn't concentrate on the mission, step in to interrupt. Also, one needs a unique totem in their pocket -- something oddly shaped and heavy to handle -- in order to remind them that they are in the dream world or in the waking world, since one can easily lose track.

In 2018, Bradley Cooper rocked the world with his directorial debut, the latest retelling of "A Star is Born." Instead of rushing forward with this momentum, Cooper gave himself a chance to relax. During 2019 and 2020, his only performance was voice acting as Rocket Raccoon in "Avengers: Endgame" (though he did help produce "Joker" that same year). His brief hiatus ended in 2021 with two of his best performances yet. In Paul Thomas Anderson's 1970s hangout flick "Licorice Pizza," Cooper had a hilarious cameo as the movie producer John Peters. Cooper plays Peters as aggressive, self-aggrandizing, and lecherous — he'd be despicable if he weren't so funny.
One character who doesn't have that saving grace of humor is Stanton Carlisle, Cooper's other 2021 performance. Stan is the lead of "Nightmare Alley," the 2nd adaptation of William Lindsay Grisham's novel. This one, directed by Guillermo del Toro, turned the story from a 1940s contemporary to a period piece.
