I think there is a difference between "totally original" and "truly original". Mix Send a noteboard - 23/07/2010 05:37:45 AM
Don't get me wrong I loved the movie but I loved it because it was well done not because it all that original. What part of the movie did you find the most original?


I've never seen anything quite like that before in a film, not even in The Matrix.

And yes, Inception wasn't the most completely original thing ever ... to be honest, I don't know if I could pick out one single movie that is "truly original," as you've said later in this thread. But Inception definitely stands out to me among what usually comes out of Hollywood as an exciting, interesting, and thought-provoking film. Yeah, we've seen some of the concepts before, but I think the end product was something entirely its own.

Hell, the fact that it wasn't a remake or adaptation from some other media makes it relatively original. :P




"totally original" is not likely to happen

But I think to be "truly original" a good place to start is being a film that is not a remake, reboot, sequel, comic book adaptation, computer game adaptation or based on a novel, play, social networking site, self-help book or Mormon Housewife wet dream. Then working hard to make a good film that is not too derivative. Throw in some visuals we have not seen before and I think Inception is most of the way there.

Well, the rotating fight scene in the hotel was pretty damn impressive for starters. Darth_Katie - 22/07/2010 11:36:44 PM 890 Views
